Unbelievably bad. Never followed her syllabus; NEVER returned an essay or ANY assignment! Didn't even test us 'til the last few weeks of class! Her teaching method is an overhead projector and she just talks about the transparencies. The worst teacher I ever had @ LACC!

Like what a previous poster said, this professor's idea of teaching is putting an overhead projector up for an hour and a half and just reading off it while giving you absolutely no time to copy it out since she reads at the speed of light. Terrible professor.

I just found out that Prof. Cole is not even a political scientist. She is a lawyer or something. She has no business teaching this subject. She should be working and getting some real experience in life instead of teaching. I thought I would learn some poli sci and I got a load of high school civics. She should go back to school.
