Reviews of professor Shelly Bentley

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Gives learning logs that are amazing to take notes from the slides and book. The feedback is not so great and grading is slow compared to other EDU professors. I was disappointed.

Took her 8 week accelerated course and she never gave clear instructions on assignments and then was a tough grader. Expectations were unclear for what she wanted. Assignments were difficult as well. Would not recommend this professor.

Great class and teacher for education students. The class does have a lot and very heavy essays and the test are graded tough. She has great lectures and relates back to her personal experiences. Would 100% take again!

Took an 8 week course where we had 13 modules with learning logs (multiple page papers to fill in for only 5 points each and has to be in completely your own words and accurate or you will not get all 5 points even though the syllabus says that it is participation) an application assignment with a discussion sometimes and then a quiz. No empathy.

I had her in a course that was online and with a zoom and a lot of the time she was plain rude, she is not understanding at all, and is a hard grader for absolutely no reason. I would recommend anyone else in the edu department except her.

She grades quickly and often provides helpful feedback on assignments. However, she assigns way too much work, doesn't provide clear instructions, and her grading is very punitive/old school. The course had a lesson about "cultural relativism," just for her to make 3 assignments due on Eid--a holiday AACPS took off for.

She was very clear on her expectations and gave feedback on almost all assignments that were turned in. If you stay on top of your work, her class is fun and informative. She cares a lot about her courses and curriculum.

Bentley graded quickly and easily. For me, her class wasn't content difficult but the amount of assignments was just vastly overwhelming. 2 cumulative assignments, a 3 hour long final, 3-5 assignments due every Wednesday AND Sunday. You simply cannot work/live and take this class
