Reviews of professor Beth Schroeder

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lecture wise she is confident and articulate, however she is pretty condescending towards students. All papers have a grading rubric but she seems to have more specific criteria she grades from that isn't properly communicated. The content is very easy as it is just an introductory course, but she is a very tough essay grader for a 100 level class.

Beth has a lot of passion for Social Work. However, she fails to remember this is an entry level class and students will not have the same level of expertise she does. To give her the benefit of the doubt, she expressed this class was not how she wanted to teach it. She did not provide clear grading criteria. The book is not necessary.

This professor comes off very strong and talks extremely fast. She presents herself as unapproachable and does not encourage a positive learning environment. I would not take a class from this professor again.

Beth Schroeder is clearly passionate about what she does. You will learn a lot that you don't already know about social work, despite this only being an intro class. Schroeder really cares for her students and gives great advice. She has helped me realize that social work is the field for me. Quick tip: try to improve your APA format for her class.

This professor made me want to major in social work because of her energy on the first day of class, but came off a little too strong at times. She is very confident but the four portfolio assignments can be tricky if you have never used APA before.

Beth is an incredible social worker whose passion is inspiring to anyone thinking about a major in social work. She has very strong lectures and often lets class out early. Easy quizzes every week, online midterm and final, and 4 long essays. Ask beth to specify exactly what she is looking for and it will be an easy A.

Beth was an amazing professor to be teaching Mass Incarceration. Beth found outside information to make the class relevant as possible. Although Mass Incarceration is a hot topic so no guest speakers were brought in, Beth goes out of her way to seek information and connect you to professionals in your chosen field. Be ready to read.

Beth is a skilled and experienced women in the social work field, which helps confirm whether social work is the correct major for you. For the class, be ready to use the writing center. If youre efficient in APA writing, you'll do great! Papers are intriguing but if careless in the 3 to 5 papers for the semester, you will not get a good grade.
