Teecher is definately not diverse, is stuck on ethnicity teaching. Everything in the class had to do with race. She thinks that she is being perfectly clear when she couldn't be any more vague. You think you did good on a paper and she marks anything she can wrong! She even says herself that hardly any paper deserves an A!
all the reading outside the book was not diverse at all. she is pretty stuck on teaching race.she gave a 20 question ESSAY test.
No Comments
Very arbitrary teacher, pretty much a complete waste of time.
Do not take, you'll regret it.
VERY UNORGANIZED. VERY MATERIALISTIC. She never followed her syllabus and students were continually confused about her assignments. She answered her cell phone all the time during class. She even brought her two kids to class during presentations and answered her phone while a student was giving a presentation. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!
AGREE, VERY UNORGANIZED. I did everything she asked for in her assignments and still did not receive a decent grade. Everyone in class was confused throughout this course... she didn't have her things together and was going through some personal issues. unorganized and rude. bottom line -- I do NOT recommend.
Although Mrs. Cole may have beenunorganized when i took her, I thought she was a great teacher. I am also and english/writing buff so things came a bit easier for me. I would recommend her class if yu are actually intersted in writing as she will provide a lot of help for you if you just ask.
I agree with her being very unorganized. I did well in the class but I also enjoy writing. She is not a bad teacher shes just unorganized. No point in following the syllbus, she doesnt! Take her if you do well in english.
She is an Awesome TEACHER!I will even give my name out, Chaz. She was the best english teacher I have ever had, and I dont enjoy to write, but she gave us very wide areas to write about almost anything, and that made me love it. TAKE HER CLASS
One of the worst teachers I've had. She is very unorganized, doesn't go by the syllabus, and only teaches of race. Her opinions are very one sided and she isn't helpful.
I think Mrs. Cole was an excellent teacher. I was not sure of the class when I first started, but she made it fun and easy. Although I am still not a fan of writting papers, I would for sure take her class again if she ever teaches English Comp II
She is very unorganized, but she kept class interesting. There was lots of writing, but its a composition course so you have to expect that.
not a very good teacher. i had to drop her class because i could not focus because she was all over the place and not on task with the syllabus.
Im not sure when the previous students took her class, but i took her over the summer and got an A. It was one of the easiest classes. As long as you go to class and try you will pass with no problem at all.
I really enjoyed Mrs.Cole's class. You MUST attend all classes.If you miss and she decides to throw in a extra assignment not on the syllabus,it will not be posted on cruiser. I had family problems the semester I took her and she was very understanding, even giving me moral support. She does focus on race, but these issues affect us.Good teacher
I agree with prev comments. She is terribly unorganized and will go off the syllabus often. However, the class is interesting and keeping up is manageable. Just be prepared for her throwing last minute assignments at you. I also agree that she spends too much time discussing race issues and writers. It's a bit overkill.
very unorganized, talked about obama more than english. Focused most of the class on race and ethnicity. Dont take her class, i was on facebook the whole time. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. DON'T DO IT. If you take her class you might think you are in a government class. Not an english class.
Mrs. Cole is very easy to listen to. However she is very disorganized. Does not expalin clearly what she expects from your work prior assiment. Definetly race and politicaly orientied teaching. If you have LD DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. High dropout rate narly 50%.
Awful teacher! Disorganized isnt even the correct word. I took the DL class and you never knew what was due when because she would always have different dates posted in different places. She changed a lesson for the major writing assignment and did not communicate to the students and she still penalized us for it! Racially motivated.
Grow up, race affects all of us. Did any of you posting happen to ask her what her second job is? Probably not... Mrs.Cole cares about her student's, as well as all people, ALL RACES, and wants us to do well. I happen to enjoy her class and learned a lot. Don't listen to bashers. Good teacher.
It's true, she's pretty unorganized. She changes due dates constantly. Besides this I did well in the class.
if you want A dont take this classe with her
wonderful teacher! She made me fall in love with english...thank you Miss cole.
She made me fall in love with english...thank you Miss cole.
She is not very organized. She makes frequent changes on deadlines. Also gives assignments out all at once. Essays aren't easy but they aren't impossible either. And she said it herself that, NO ONE will ever get a 100 on an essay, but does offer a lot of extra credit! Also takes a while answering email, but she does get around to do it.
She is an excellent teacher
Completely horrible. She is unorganized, unclear on any and all directions, as well as give you that "Your not in high school anymore" speech if you even attempt to ask her to clarify directions. Spends the majority of all class time talking about opinions on movies and such. Going to speak with the dean about a refund for such a mediocre class.
I have nothing against Ms. Cole as a person. However, as a teacher, she is very unorganized and does not clarify what she wants. She never follows the syllabus. I would not recommend taking her class because it is very stressful not knowing what is due or what to expect.
Yes she is unorganized but I LOVE HER! She is very understanding and if you just talk to her she will work with you. I would take her again for Comp2 if she taught it. She likes to talk but her class is def not boring :]
She is a great teacher, people who complain are just people that want to have their hands held along the way. She is so accepting and if you make the time to get to know her she really is a good person and cares about her class, as long as they return the favor. She is unorganized but if you are a constant listener you'll figure out things out.
DO Not take this class. This was the worst class that I ever took. Her instructions are so unclear and she gets upset when you ask Questions. She is disorganized and changes instructions at the drop of a hat, making it difficult for you to set a plan. I would not suggest her to anyone.
I understand some other student's compliant about her disorganized instructions,however, if you go to class, you get 100 points for participation which helps a lot, so attendance is mandatory. As long as you go to the class, she will notify you if there is any changes.Do your work and she will work with you. SHE IS BEST ONE i EVER HAd.
She is very rude and disorganized all the time. She thought it was Wednesday and didn't show up for our class. Seriously? I feel like I'm more prepared than she is. She can change her emotions at the drop of a hat. She gets angry if you ask questions and is never clear on what she wants. This class was a total waste of my time because of her.
It seems as though she is giving us graduate level work that she may have done in graduate school, but that is impossible for us to comprehend. She also doesn't explain assignments very well. Her life seems scattered, yet she expects so much of her students as if our lives our set just for her class. She's nice, but not a good teacher. Not a fan.
OMG!! This was awful!! She is nice, but doesn't email back regularly. She would not post assignments because she was sick or too busy but then make them available and must be completed all within a couple days. She also assigned random assignments that we hadn't even learned anything about or even discussed. She's too busy to be doing DL classes!!!
She is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. She is such a flake. She expects you to be here but she rarely is. She'll call off class a week in advance, then the weekend before says no, we will have class, and then on the day of class call it off again an hour before class is about to start. I honestly can say I didn't learn anything.
She was very helpful
Great teacher. She was very helpful and all her lessons were easy to understand. I strongly recommend her class
She is really good teacher and helpful teacher this is my best class.
Ms. Cole is a great teacher and very helpful. She will work with you.
This teacher is great. She is very nice and helpful if you have any questions. I missed a couple classes and she quickly responded to my emails. She cancelled class a few times but she left a note on blackboard as to what she wanted you to do. As long as you show an effort she works with you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
Does not follow the syllabus, is not clear when giving instructions, claims to dislike professors who allow students extra time for assignments but she does it regularly, heavy load of papers (consider that this is a first year class), incredibly disorganized. Show up to class, be prepared to do additional research for readingspapers.
Write down her instructions. Ask a classmate if you don't know what you're supposed to be doing, not her.
She is the most unorganized professors have ever had. She is a nice person, but she has no consideration for students and their work in other classes. She doesn't explain assignments well, gives you assignments at the last minute, expects a lot when she didn't even explain and the work load is just ubsurd. I would not recommend, at all.
The first week makes an impact on your overall performance and makes you understand that this class is setting you up for higher expectations from the instructor. Of course on the positive note you get to explore your creativity with the madness of your mind to make it fun and not boring. So saddle up and ride on the class as fast pace. Good luck.
Great Person but a very unorganized professor. The Syllabus does not follow what you will be doing in class. Gives you assignments that she tells you its a grade , but later to find out you did it for nothing. Lots of Essays and reading to do! The book is not required. If you try very hard she will help you pass the class.
Likes to venture of topic of lectures If you don't answer a question the way she wants it answered (specific wording) it's wrong regardless. Overall an easy professor, but I wouldn't take her for Comp1302
Taken for dual credit, 1301 & 1302. Expect to do lots of response and or essay papers. To make high grades on them is to at least answer the questions asked, and be as in-depth as you can. She's also somewhat unorganized and that will or won't work to your benefit (got free 100s for her missing some papers). Books are needed for her assignments.
Professor Cole seemed like a decent person overall, however the course was ridiculous. Is unorganized, gave no clear guidelines on work, changed due date the day of, and gets super frustrated during discussions when students don't agree with her standpoint. went as far as calling someone narrow-minded. If you can handle lack of clarity, it's okay.
Took Eng II and dropped due to this ladies extreme disorganization. She made continuous changes to the syllabus, bombarded us with last minute assignments, had an attitude whenever she was asked to clarify assignment due dates, was rude, arrived late most days, cancelled multiple classes w/o notice. Do not take this class, you will regret it. Run!
Ms. Cole is by far the worst professor at TCCD. How did she qualify for the job? She is one of those teachers that only care about getting their paycheck. Class time was often spent with her rambling about current affairs, and getting butthurt over facebook comments. Gives one week notice of when three essays are due. Did not learn a single thing.
VERY DISORGANIZED ASSIGNS RANDOM ASSIGNMENTS LAST MIN . INSTRUCTIONS AND FEEDBACK ARE WORTHLESS WASTE TIME RAMBLING ABOUT HUMANITY TOO MANY READINGS I FEEL LIKE SOME ASSIGNMENTS WERE BUSY WORK LATE GRADER SO CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF GRADES DOESNT CHECK EMAIL . LEARNED NOTHING CAN BE RUDE AT TIMES
She is an amazing person. Professor is questionable I think she is expecting us to write papers at university level with little or no instruction. She is not clear on expectations whatsoever and is somewhat rude.
She is a tough grader and docs points based on how she feels. She is a very nice person but is a bit disorganized.
This professor is a very nice lady but is very disorganized when giving assignments. Most of the time she doesn't know when the due dates are and takes weeks to grade. Make sure to check for new assignments everyday and ask questions because she gives at LEAST two assignments per week.
WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!! She is so horrible do not take her. It takes her 2 months to get things graded, is super unorganized and very last minute. We have had things due that she wouldn't get around to grading for months. I have had multiple assignments ungraded so you are never able to know your true grade. Doesn't follow syllabusAT ALL
I would not recommend, she takes forever to grade and is extremely disorganized. She also isn't very clear with her instructions on writing assignments.
This professor hardly graded things on time. As a class we had about 5 different readings, which we had to complete two different assignments for(10 things we turned in). It wasn't until almost a month later she had finally put in all 10 grades. Its the end of the semester and we're just now getting grades in.
I have taken Mrs. Cole for my remedial English class 1301, and 1302!! She is amazing. She makes you work but having a good grade in her class isn't hard to achieve. Definitely take her if you can!!!
Dr. Cole is one of the most amazing proffesors I have taken!!! She is super helpful but still makes you work for it causing you to actually learn. I would take her again!
She is a very nice lady but the most confusing person ever. Her due dates are always changing last minute or she is never clear on when stuff is due. She explains things terribly and you are left figuring things out for yourself. Also she piles the assignments on you.
She's extremely rude and treats people like children. She mocks everything you do and she can't be doesn't say everything that needs to be done. She gives too much work for one week, don't ever take her if you're trying to learn English cause all she taught is reading.
I HATED THIS CLASS. She was so unorganized and blamed us for it. It felt like she made up assignments as she went. It was so bad I gave up. I didn't even try because I like her. but I still passed. She assigns a handful of essays. We studied poetry, dramas, short stories, and novel. Avoid her at all cost & if you end up taking her class beware
Terrible, just dropped class. confusing, too much work. I don't mind working hard, but the lack of clear instructions made it impossible. would not recommend.
Professor Cole is a nice lady as everyone seems to agree, but she's terribly disorganized and very confusing. Almost done with her class and I have learned basically nothing. She gives so many assignments and most of them are long and take up a lot of time. And to top it all off, she grades really hard. Definitely don't recommend.
By far one of the worst professors I've ever taken. She's very disorganized and class is a huge waste of time. I could literally only sit through 3-4 lectures before dropping. It was just her arguing with students instead of discussing. But, if you miss class, you'll miss something important intertwined with the babbling. Very frustrating!
If you are taking Ms. Cole's class: 1. Ask her multiple times to clarify what is expected and when it is due. 2. Bring your assignment to her office and make sure it is what she wanted you to do. 3. Do not expect your assignments to be graded quickly. 4. Go to her office and she will work with you on your grade, but not last minute.
When she tells of assignments she flows them together and does not like for questions. She will not tolerate misunderstanding.
A good teacher if you like writing. I loved her the assignments she gave and her topics are inspirational and introspective. I will admit she can be disorganized, but that can work in your favor because she will push back deadlines to help you. She has 8-9 classes to teach a semester people! Learned a lot about myself from the assignments she gave.
She is by far the worst professor. She is very disorganized and very unclear about the projects and due dates. She hates when people ask for help as well as people emailing her. She hates being wrong and if it's not the way she likes it she will make fun of you. Very closed minded and could even insult you in class(personal experience) dont takeher
A girl in my class got dropped out of her class because she wasn't showing up to every class. This professor is not organized and is very emotional. She went off on a student in the middle of class because he wasn't sure of what was going on. Most of the class didn't know either but were to scared to raise their hands. I know I was. Don't recommend
I took Cole for both COMP1301 and 1302, she's very outgoing, helpful and in my opinion, cares about her students. Most of class time is open discussion, not much "lecturing". Don't be afraid to ask questions because sometimes her directions are a bit confusing. But she is always willing to explain. 10/10 would take her for a 3rd semester if I could
If you want to be stressed out the entire semester, she's the perfect fit for you. I have never had a teacher or professor at any level that was so unorganized and had pages of excuses to back it up. She found ways to blame the students for her being unorganized. 50% of my class dropped. The work is pointless and I literally learned nothing.
Professor Cole is very nice! I'm taking her for my English 1301 class this year, and she does very well in giving us assignments and keeping up with lectures and grades. Professor Cole is not hard to get to outside of school, but it does have to be through her email! She's very respectful!
Worst professor by far. Unorganized, She always has reasons for her delayed response. I'm taking this class online, and she rarely respond to email. Course calender is a full of chaos. She'll let you to research whatever you are interested in and then deny your option. She doesn't even have a PHD. Just awful. she does not worth your time.
Run to the nearest exit if you get this teacher. Take any other professor than this one. She cannot work the online system. There is NEVER any feedback on assignments, and I dont think shes even read some of the literature she teaches. Always complains about how tough her workload is! Run, run all the way to the registrars office! Worst ever!
Please Im begging you DO NOT take this professor! I took this class online due to COVID and she was very unorganized, she took so long to grade things, gives 0s if you dont follow directions(yet she makes them hard to understand), she blames everything on her students when its clearly her fault. This class has been the most stressful class ever!
I dropped the class. THE worst professor Ive ever had to deal with. Super unorganized, quick temper about things that arent understood by most students, quick to give out zeroes & drop students. If you have a life outside of school that wont be understood, especially in the middle of a pandemic.
Please do NOT take this professor. She only gave 1 "lecture" during the whole semester and had 0 consistency. So many assignments that had nothing to do with what we were supposed to be learning. I felt like I learned nothing in this class. Her instructions weren't clear, not very understanding and takes a while to grade. Very unenjoyable and hard.
One of the easiest classes I ever had
Ok class kinda hard
Worst professor Ive had to deal w. The class begun fine but then turned out to be extremely disorganized. She only gave 1 lecture throughout the semester and was very inconsistent. Assignments were lengthy & unrelated to the topics we were learning. For our final project, she was unreasonably picky about our topics. Very unclear. Dont take her!
So unbelievably inconsistent with their schedule, never put assignments on the calendar until they were 4 days away, expected the class to have read a story after never mentioning it ONCE. I know this wasn't just an issue I had because there was a class where many students spoke up, this professor got very defensive, me and 5 students almost left.
DO NOT TAKE HER she posts assignments randomly throughout the week and is very defensive, getting mad when the class asks questions in a way she doesn't like, even ranting at the class when the whole class misunderstood an assignment that was posted without any instructions. She also tends to like to mock students. Worst professor I've taken here.
I have never in my life had such a horrible professor.She never had any clear instructions, and graded extremely hard. She cancelled half of the classes we had this semester, and when we were in class the lectures never taught me and she trailed off all the time. She only likes a certain type of writing, so if you have her good luck figuring it out
Since taking her course in Spring of 2022, I am significantly more confident in my writing abilities, as well as myself. Dr. Cole has high standards and expectations, and is there to assist with any questions that may arise. She is personable and gives thorough feedback on assignments and answers any pertinent questions promptly (:
She's a great professor who really cares that you learn in class.
wont respond to anything you ask her, all homework is vaguely worded, and absolutly 0 information on her syllabus... you would literally get more help talking a brick wall
Very confusing class, with no clear instructions on when things are due. Grades things weeks late, and has you do GROUP projects for an online course. Should be an easy A, wasn't.
Even though I did well in this class, I didn't really enjoy it overall. The structure of the course was confusing because of how everything was set up. Oftentimes, I didn't know when certain things were due. Dr. Cole is a nice person, but I just couldn't keep up at times.
The worst professor ever in my class, she even recommended that not take another class with her. It was a nightmare.
Worst teacher of all time. Gives no help or reasoning behind her grades, took 85+ points off of multiple assignments for little to no mistakes and when emailed about it she would be rude and claim she had already given reasoning behind the grades. She should not be teaching anyone at all let alone college students. I learned nothing from her class
Avoid taking any class with her at all costs. She will grade very unfair, almost everyone in my class failed and multiple times she took 80+ points off of my grade for very small grammatical errors. She should not be teaching anybody let alone college students. She is very rude and inconsiderate, i am surprised she has a job as a teacher.
Slow grader. She'll tell you not to take her 1302 class if she doesn't like how you are performing in her class. She does not give clear instructions and she post assignment everywhere and not always in the same area, you have to look for them. I would not recommend taking her class she even said she doesn't read her email if it's a silly question.
My class experience started well but turned sour. The professor's online rubric never matched her instructions given in person, and her grading seemed influenced by emotions, not objective criteria. Communication was also lacking. I got a 20 on an 8-page paper, despite her potential for greatness and kindness.
I would never take this class again even if someone paid me to do it. She is so harsh with grading and clearly has no idea how to teach college students, does not have any clear grading instructions, will take points off for everything, argues with students in class, and does not respond to emails or give any good feedback! STAY AWAY!
This professor graded work promptly, but on the larger projects, like the final paper outline she did not give any feedback. There was no rubrics, and on those that had rubrics they were difficult to find and were posted weeks before the assignment was. Would avoid.
Her class will be confusing to you because she doesn't always make sense. And it seems like she hardly grades at all. I understand that she have a lot of students, but she takes a very long time. This instructor is really confusing and a horrible grader, so please don't take her.
She's a terrible communicator and a harsh grader. I submitted an assignment and got a zero, and she told me to look at the example. That would be so helpful if there was actually an example. She is harsh and not understanding. She is also very unorganized and has no assignment schedule and often posts them closer to the date they are due.
Poor communication. She post assignment in between other assignments when it's almost due without notification. No explanation
Dr. Cole was an interesting professor i'll say. She's very talkative and funny, but if you don't care enough to come to class she doesn't care enough to respond to her emails. Slow grader, but is relaxed with due dates and accepts late work. She's admitted in class that she only reads the first 2 paragraphs of papers (not sure if it's actually true
Prof Cole is disorganized, placed items needed to complete assignments in inconsistent places or direct us specifically to one place and the information would be elsewhere. Slow grader, didn't post modules or answer emails in a timely manner. Incredibly difficult grader & changed rubrics after work was submitted. Scheduled a zoom & never showed up!
Inconsistent instructions and feedback from the professor. Try using Unstuck AI and other study resources to stay on track. Overall, a challenging but manageable class.
I actually really enjoyed Dr. Cole. She's very sassy but if you respect her, she'll respect you back. Not too many large projects. Final was a multiple page research paper about a social issue. I can understand why many people gave her bad reviews, but I got along pretty well with her. SHOW UP TO HER CLASS!!!! it'll save you in the long run.
avoid her...
Dr Cole was amazing, zero complaints. She was a fun professor and easy to talk with as just a normal person. She made it easy to interact within class. I feel very confident in my writing skills after taking this section with her.
Dr. Cole was extremely helpful and I disagree with all of these ratings. She was quick to respond anytime I would email or just with feedback in general. I will say the class couldve been more composition oriented, but overall I would happily take her again!
She goes into rants about random things off topic, and when I would reach out for help and she told me I should figure it out myself, resulting in low grades. She is also very strict with deadlines and no wiggle room around it. I would say avoid this class if possible.
