Ok when I first encountered Dr. Berend I was in her Honors seminars to write a senior thesis. (I'm an over a achiever and I can deal with shitty professors and I went into it very optimistic) I am almost 100% sure that I will drop her based on her unprofessional behavior, lack of tact, disorganization and stubbornness. She believes is very unreasonable.I highly dislike her! I read some of the reviews and they all pin point her to the dot. She also makes fun of other students, and calls being rude "constructive criticism" The positive reviews... I cant say I agree with much of them besides the fact that she is a nice person but a horrible professor. (Trust me being in a 15 person class with this woman for a quarter gives you a lot of 1 on 1 time)
