Comment:
I went to her after struggling on the first test. She was very condescending and told me I should have learned one of the topics in high school, and then didn't even explain it to me. Tests questions are taken from something mentioned in one of the chapters once. I showed up for every class, took notes, got a tutor, and still barely passed. Avoid.

I had Dr. Van Beneden for bmb 280 & SMS 304 and she is one of the nicest people on campus! She answers any question and takes the time to make sure you understand.

Comment:
She is mean and disrespectful to students who ask questions about what she covered in lecture. Her tests are way to hard and are focused on the most random details from the reading and her lectures. The only time I understood/learned was when Mayers sub for her.

She's okay. I've had better, but I've certainly had much, much worse.

Great professor. If you want to slack, just get her powerpoints and read those. If you want to get the most out of the class, go to class, listen to her, and go to recitation; you'll learn a lot. Very willing to help, and has a firm grasp on the subject matter. Highly recommended.

Comment:
Dr. VB teaches a difficult subject in a clear and efective manner. Not only does she ask for feedback on her teaching methods, she listens to them and adjusts accordingly. Also, ,she is more rthan willing to work extra hard with those that are willing to take the inititive to approach her and ask.
