Awesome
The class of Professor Bejarano is very easy because we reviewed a lot on sources. There are not any tests and there's a project that is broken up to have a neat final result. Very kind and funny.
Good
Prof. Bejarano's class is very simple. She doesn't give tests at all. She's more concerned on your understanding of the topic rather than testing you.
Awful
Prof. Bejarano's class was terrible. I took her over the summer and we had 4-5 papers weekly. She also wasn't helpful at all. She had a tough grading and her expectations aren't clear enough. Wouldn't recommend taking her!
Awesome
I truly love Professor Bejarano. There were no exams or quizzes throughout the term. Even if there are a lot of discussion boards, she gave an opportunity for extra credit. She gave great feedback on all assignments as well. Yes, she gives a lot of work, but as long as you enter it, it's a simple A. So, if you're thinking about taking it, I highly recommend her class.
Good
Professor was awesome in class, but one-on-one, she wasn't much help. When I was confused with the course material, she told me to look it up instead of explaining it. The layout of the course is bad, so taking it online is not a good idea! You get tested on stuff that you're not even given, or the information is there, but you can't find it in the reading assignment.

Port Saint Lucie, Florida
I am an energetic college professor who teaches in person and online American and Western Civilization history courses. I focus on integration of OERs. My unique student led approach has my students successful in a subject that many struggle in. I focus on the use of primary sources and small writing assignments to encourage active learning and true knowledge growth while at the same time building academic confidence in history.
I enjoy using student friendly technology platforms and tools to cement historical learning.
I have done extensive research on breastfeeding trends, television as a history tool, Women's/Gender issues, and am well versed in various aspects of ethnography/anthropology and have written on numerous historical topics.
I am also a remote ESL teacher for students located in China.
