Reviews of professor Bethallyn Black

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
She is a true expert in the field of horticulture, but her lectures are often unclear, poorly organized, and full of useless digressions. If she stays on a subject, we learn a lot, but she often spends time talking about her opinions. Tests are straight out of the textbook, but often full of errors and confusing. Awesome person, but poor teacher.

Most unorganized teacher I have ever met. Then she gives attitude when you ask her for more details on something. I dont think I learned anything from her class. She just goes on and talks about her opinions. Required to work plant sales, terrible for work. A waste of time. Dahlia, student worker, is crazy, yelled at us for something we didnt do.

She's a really nice person but is unorganized. The class is half lecture, half "lab," but the labs are all just working for the nursery. Free labor. Plant sales were okay, and some of the field trips were cool. I don't think I learned anything. Student worker there was super condescending and yelled at us for no reason.

Bethalynn is incredible and her classes teach you a lot. This is a good class for people who just want an easy A or people interested in the environment/horticulture field. Her class is hands-on, which is great for what you are learning. Doesn't give quizzes, usually only one paper/presentation at the end of the semester.
