unprepared. does not facilitate class discussions

Unprepared

This instructor is very unorganized and makes unreasonable demands on students that she herself does not live up to. She reviews weekly readings, weakly...and never engages the class. On review of terms and readings assigned, she adds material that has nothing to do with any assignments. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY IN ONE OF HER CLASSES!

The professor has been teaching for a while, but evidently not long enough to know that perhaps she should change her lesson plan. She assigns way too many readings and fails to cover a lot of them;and when she is going over the readings, she does so in a fast and incomprehensible manner. If you have a brain, then do not take this class.

This is by far one of THE WORST English professors here on campus. She is boring during lecture, she gets pissed of if you can not understand something and asks a question about it and she is not enthusiastic nor organized when it comes to teaching. I would AVOID her classes AT ALL COSTS now.

DON'T EVER PUNISH YOURSELF BY TAKING A CLASS WITH HER!! IT IS THAT BAD!!

She is by far the worse professor on campus!!!! DO NOT TAKE HER PLEASE! Safe your sanity, time, and life!!

She is the worst professor EVER!!! She is condescending and not helpful. She wastes most of the class telling you about what will be covered in class, but then she never leaves enough time to actually TEACH. Then she gives extrememly hard quizzes and tests on stuff she never actually covered! DONT TAKE HER!!!!

horrible.

Spends too much time talking, directions for a 2 page essay were 8 pages long and very difficult to understand. Do not take her if you can avoid it.

such a waste of time!! do not take this class!!! she is a terrible teacher and you won't get ANY grades back the entire quarter so you won't have a clue as to how you are doing in the class. huge regret taking this class and not dropping when I had the chance.

She is unorganized and uninteresting. She assigns SO MANY readings that she NEVER goes through in class. She does not post any grades whatsoever throughout the quarter. Even other professors said she is not a good professor. Honestly, sign up for this class with her, it's an automatic FAIL. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! DO NOT!!

Professor Tyler knows her material, but she is not a very good teacher. She is unorganized when it comes to updating her students' grades. Avoid taking any of her classes. I regret not dropping this class when I had the chance.

Unclear, long directions for every assignment (5-8 pages)

This woman made my quarter a living hell! Nothing was EVER exceptional for her, and her lectures were more confusing than the readings! Didn't post a syllabus until the 4th week, and did not follow it - she fell behind and made it difficult to keep up with her. AVOID HER,

EXTREMELY UNORGANIZED. Required readings that you never use for class. Assignments are never graded in a timely manner. Essay prompts and syllabus are long winded and confusing. (Syllabus was 14 pgs). The entire class was very unclear. She's a very nice person though. If you're confused, I suggest office hours on a regular basis.

worst professor I've had my entire educational career. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

I can't believe she is a teacher. I have never experienced a teacher so unorganized and rude. Her critiques on your papers will not make any sense, and will not follow what has been said in lecture at all. I was excited to take this class so badly, and now I hope I fail so I can take it again with a teacher who is ACTUALLY competent.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS OR ANY CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. She is the worst professor I have had at UCR. She assigns work that she cannot even grade on time, and if she does her grading is strange. So, don't expect to know how your grades are going until the class is over. Her instructions for assignments are way too long and unclear.

I regret taking her class. She is the toughest professor I have ever had. She is very smart and knows a lot about many subjects, but her lectures are hard to follow as she's very disorganized. She takes forever to grade assignments and she's super tough on grading especially on papers. I didn't feel like I actually learned from her class.

She's managed to turn a Literature class into one about Art History. 3 weeks into the quarter and we have yet to speak about or look at a single text. Everything is overly detailed, confusing, and boring. This is an upper division class of English majors, and she's turned it into an Art class for grad students. Truly disappointing.

She is by far the worst professor I have take at UCR. She grades her papers based on her opinion and does not take yours into consideration. Pretty much her way or the highway. The class itself is not difficult, but she is a hard grader. She lags on and on, making the class dreadful. I like english, but boy did she make me detest it.

Nice person, terrible professor. No consideration for students whatsoever. She overlaps on class time and we get out late every time! Oh, but when it comes to her time, she wants all consideration. You leave early, she takes you off the attendance for the day. If you miss lecture twice, your grade goes down. She does not understand life happens.

She talks down to the entire class at least once a week, fails to grade 500 word essays in < 6 weeks, has instructions that are 4x longer than the maximum length of your essays, reads paragraphs off of powerpoints she doesn't make, claims shes too busy to grade, and has a random 300 word assignment count more than the final. Got the syllabus week 4

Warning. Don't take her class. Constantly talked down to her students. Expected doctorate level work in a lower division English class. Tough grader and had a complicated grading system for no reason. Hardly followed the syllabus. Spent 2-3 class periods on author's bio/maybe a hot second on the actually story content. don't recommend

grades arbitrarily and has an illogical system for determining final grades. I asked her a few days before the quarter ended what my grade so far was and she had absolutely no idea. she also goes off on tangents and barely teaches, and when students ask her how they can improve papers she offers little and vague feedback while being visibly annoyed

Very unorganized and late to almost every lecture. She found something to yell at us about every lecture and her grading is very vague and unclear. Her website is also really complicated and unnecessarily overwhelming. She gets mad when she gets asked questions bc we should know the answer. Expects too much for a undergraduate breadth course.

Awful professor! She was unprepared and unorganized and made up stupid excuses. I dont recommend you take her in any class. She assigns reading and talks about irrelevant stuff. She gave a pop quiz cuz people weren't coming and was laughing and smiling at the classes b/c of her pleasure in our struggle. Goes off tangents and is very condescending.

I would never willingly take this professor again. Disorganized. Tangent-laden. Verbose. These are the words I would use to describe my experience in this class. Class would start late, and it would always go over by 3 or 4 minutes. I did not receive my midterm grade until the last day of finals week! Do not recommend.

Please do not take this class. Even if it is the only class open by the time you register. You will regret it.

Worst experience I've ever had. I've never rated a professor, but I had to rate this one. We only had two assignments: the midterm and the final. The midterm was graded at the same time as the final, meaning I didn't know my grade until I couldn't do anything about it. Lecture heavy, attendance mattered, worked hard and failed. AVOID THIS TEACHER.

Takes forever to grade. I went into the final not knowing my grade (every day, she would show up to class making excuses as to why she hadn't graded it in weeks), and she made the final harder to "help" her grade it faster... Is extremely condescending in feedback, and is outright rude to students. Don't take this class if you don't need it.

Honestly worst professor I have taken. I went into my final barely knowing my grade for the class as she lagged with grading. Very unclear on her expectations and critiqued students work with by unnecessarily saying youre trying too hard to sound smart. Took her nearly 1 month to grade the midterms and again several weeks for the final.

Don't ever take her class! She gave us the syllabus in week 4. Very disorganized!

WORST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE COLLEGE CAREER. The main issue is the grading and assignment aspects. She does not finish grading anything and when she does its half done. She just clocked out teaching this class and when she was emailed, she said "she had a lot going on". OKAY?! SO DO WE? if you can't grade assignments, don't assign them.

Would not take again or recommend to anyone. Professor Tyler was the most disorganized professor I have ever had. She would go off on tangents and never discuss the actual readings she was assigning. She always made excuses for not grading our assignments and didn't grade our midterm until week 10 when nobody could do anything about it.

She is the absolute worst professor I have ever taken. She did not grade one single assignment until the last week before finals week. When we finally did receive this ONE assignment back, it was PARTLY graded. She is not accessible at all and is painfully unorganized. I have no idea how she is a professor at a university. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

I would suggest staying away from any courses with this professor. She is very unorganized, patronizing, and very unprofessional in meeting deadlines. Each time I participated in this class, she has always nitpicked at my responses and made me feel horrible. Navigating this class and her off-topic stories during lectures are overall frustrating.

Professor Tyler should not be a professor. I have never struggled so much in one class nor have I hated a professor more. She grades so harshly and confusingly that by the end of it I don't even know my final grade nor how to amend my mistakes. She does not care about her students and it shows in how unaccessible she is. Do not take her!!!!

If I could rate 0 I would. Took her for Feminist Novels and didn't know my grade until Week 10-11 aka Finals Week. She played favorites with those who attended office hours and did not question her ever. She was really rude and nasty in her grading, humiliated us on the daily. Worst professor literally ever. Honestly hope UCR takes action.

shes my thirteenth reason <3

Do not take it if you love yourself. She needs to be more organized and grades everything at the last minute late. She Does not reply to her emails when you have a question. She would go off-topic about her life stories in-class lectures and make randomly inappropriate remarks. This classroom was so small that few people were only in this class.

No syllabus until Week 2, outlined that participation isn't mandatory (it was). Freaked over Chat GPT and assigned insane short answer response assessments to replace essays, which she graded harshly and unfairly. Never stuck to the syllabus or the reading schedule. Off-topic and crude at times. She scrapped the initial grade scale last minute.

I'm not even finished with the class yet and I have so much to say. It is week 7 and I don't know my grade... she has not made it clear what she is expecting. She grades very harshly yet does not give beneficial feedback. Her class. makes no sense at all. I have no idea what I am supposed to be learning... Seriously, do NOT take a course with her.

Behind on classwork/readings because she doesn't use +1hr class time effectively (personal stories). Does not update grades. No TA. Final has 4 parts (presentation, quiz, exam, and take home essay) all which is supposed to be done in 1 day??? Makes you pay for books on Perusal because you HAVE to annotate readings there for a grade. Do not take.

Avoid at all costs, most confusing and rude professor I've taken at UCR. Consistently showed up late to lectures, and would get mad at/punish students who came in late. Did not prepare actual syllabus or grading scale until Week 8, and had to curve every assignment in the last week of the course because no one understood the content.

Not organized at all. Instructions for assignments were not clear. Hardly any lecture is worthwhile to prep you for the pop quizzes/ in-person exams. I don't think she's a bad instructor, but she's hard to follow when it comes to learning new concepts. She expects you to understand new ideas/concepts after reading 15 pages of reading material.

the absolute worst professor ever SAVE YOURSELF! we never talked about half of the readings and goes on extremely long tangents and then talks about the actual readings for the last 5 minutes of class.

Week 7, no assignments have been graded. Midterm questions are difficult to understand and she refuses to admit fault, saying it was our issue for not knowing what she meant. Refuses to tell us when the actual midterm is. Lectures are tangents that do not discuss assigned readings. Makes us read an entire novel, only to test us on random articles.

Genuinely the most horrible professor I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and never take this course

Have you ever been shot by a machine gun? Because taking this class is the academic equivalent. I've survived some things, but nothing could've prepared me for Carole-Anne Tylers course. Walking into lecture felt like stepping into a battlefield where the professor just unloaded information at us like a malfunctioning machine gun BRARARARRARAR

The professor struggles with technology, delaying lessons and assignments. She ignores feedback and rarely engages with students. Grading is unclear, assignments come late, and the class falls behind because the schedule and syllabus are often ignored, creating stress and confusion.
