Mrs. Berrio was a very unorganized professor. Each day we had no idea what we would be doing in class. All assignments were very unclear and confusing. She was very bad at communicating material to the students. I feel like I did not learn a thing this quarter in this class.

Who else Rated Dr. Berrio is on Crack. She rocks. She's really nice and interesting in what she's doing. Plus she knows a lot and cares about her students. I know people who've called her at home because they were having a crisis. She's always willing to help. Definately take her classes- you'll be glad you did!=-)

Dr. Berrio is wonderful. The Preschool Lab has been one of my most memorable and valuable experiences during my time here at poly. The experience that I've gained, I can tell, will be very helpful and has confirmed in my mind that I have chosen the right career path.

Margaret is so amazing. She greatly cares about her students and about the preschoolers in the lab. CD 102 is an unorganized introduction in which students tend to get the wrong impression of proffessors; Magaret is not always the most level-headed (sometimes she gets frazzled), but it is always because something happened and she is trying to figure out how to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. Overall, she is one of the sweetest and kindet professors at Poly.

Margaret loves the preschool and pours her heart into it. We had a great group of students that all worked hard and enjoyed being there in the lab, so that helped make the quarter enjoyable. It's a lot of hours for only a four unit class, but it is so worth it! I absolutely loved the kids - they are adorable!

Margaret is totally an understanding and loving person who loves the children in the lab and will really get to know you in her classes. Don't get the wrong first impression- she is so nice and a very casual teacher that I would choose to take again.

This has been one of my favorite classes at Cal Poly. You have to read a few sections in a book and take an exam on "Denealian Manuscript", which is really easy. You also have to write a 10 page paper about what you learned while running the pre-school lab. I suggest jotting a few notes down about certain events that occur during the week, because at the end of the quarter it is difficult to remember certain events and what you learned from it. Overall its a fun and easy class, but does take a LOT of time!

Margaret is a very helpful and understanding professor. Although she can get flustered at times, she knows how to run the preschool and keeps it organized. She is assertive and tends to want to control situations, but she does compromise on certain situations. She listens to her students and helps out with things outside of class, like giving advice on what courses to take and studying abroad. The class consists of: doing journals for the children, making a picture memory book for the children, filling out daily curriculum/activity sheets, doing one curriculum report on an area, and a long paper that's turned in during finals week. Margaret is a reasonable grader and she lets you know if you need to re-do something.

Disorganized, confusing, and has favorites. The class itself is amazing, but I suggest you take it with Janet.

Missed the first day, went to the second day. Went to the midterm. Went to the Final. Three days of class total. I got a B, easy. This kind of shit gives our school a bad name.
