Student Evaluations

The following is a selection of comments students made in their evaluation of my courses. I think they represent the experience that students have in their classes and my teaching abilities. 

“This professor has made me comfortable in not only participating in class but making my own ideas. I have taken courses with her multiple times and she never disappointed. I really enjoyed this class and I appreciate the many times she effectively made a topic like Ethics more interesting than it usually is.” - Student from “Ethics” Spring 2020

“I have truly enjoyed Philosophy. As a curious person myself, I think that certain philosophers that we have learned about have made me question things, but that is a good thing. Thank you for always being interested in the students and making sure that everyone understands. I would take a class again with you as a professor in the future. Thank you.” - Student from “Intro to Philosophy Class.” Fall 2020

“This professor is amazing, very understanding, and compassionate to all of her students. I really hope I can have this professor again in the fall of next year for Ethics because she does an amazing job of teaching and explaining the material. Overall I would recommend everyone to take Professor Bizarro for a class.” - Student from “Intro to Philosophy” Fall 2020

“Great professor, that brings new ideas to the table. I did not think I would personally like this class on the first day but the more we explored different ideas and video’s she really showed me a lot of things I never would have learned. Patience, respectful, and open-minded on anything and let the class have great conversions. Thank you so much she is a great teacher.” - Student from “Ethical Issues in the Movies.” Spring, 2021

“Professor Bizarro is an amazing Professor! I was so worried when choosing who to take this course with because I have heard so many negative things about the other professors. One of my friends took Professor Bizarro’s class before and stressed that I needed to take Ethics with her. I am so glad I listened because Bizarro is great. The course was very well organized and I felt like I could ask for help whenever I wanted to. She was also very considerate of her students. The pandemic is still affecting students and motivation was at an all-time low, but I enjoyed doing her assignments.” - Student, “Ethics.” Spring 2021
