Although she is hard, and the work can be somewhat extensive at times, Dr. Coe is a teacher that really provokes thought and makes real attempts at engaging her class in the material. Students who want a teacher who expects a lot from them and indeed gives a lot in return should take her classes.

I think that Professor Coe is a good PERSON but: she assigns TONS OF WORK. Way too much IMO. Every class you have to turn in a one page,SINGLE SPACED paper about the assigned readings (which are all on VERY specific, often obscure, topics), which are very tough and typically 50 pages. Also, this course is listed as women's studies and it IS NOT!

This is a heavy reading and heavy writing course. This professor clearly states in syllabus what is expected for passing grades. She is very passionate about her subject matter and is tough because she wants her students to learn. I learned a great deal from her and she is one of my favorite teachers. Just give her a chance despite the material.

Professor Coe is a very difficult professor, she does not extend anything, DO NOT BE LATE TO HER CLASS!!!! She keeps track of that too and will tell you at the end of class to come in on time. We started with 14 students in the class and we are down to 6. She makes you write tons of papers, she grades your papers as if you're writing a book. AVOID!

Soc of Ed She requires about 3 essays outside of the written response for every single class based on a reading every class. She grades hard. But if you absolutely have to take her its bearable just expect a c if ur lucky a B. I dont think an A is possible. She gave us a second chance for our first essay. But I dont know if thats a guarantee.

Lots of homework

She is the worst professor I have ever had. She expects you to write exactly what she thinks or feels, gives little to no guidance with assignments, and takes forever to respond to emails. She also always spells my name incorrectly which is makes zero sense considering it is on my papers and emails.

She is the absolute worst professor I have ever had. She assigns an insane amount of papers that need to written exactly how she would write it. Met with her twice to give me feedback on one paper, she told not to change anything then proceeded to give me an F

Professor Coe is so into Anthropology she forgets that almost no one else taking this class is into anthropology. She expects you to write many papers, read four books, and take lectures with quizzes embedded in them. Be ready to work harder in this course than any science and you still won't get an A. Do not take her!!

Considering that this was an intro course, this professor gave an enormous amount of work. If you don't like reading or if you are a procrastinator, I would not recommend taking this course with Cati Coe. Get ready to do a lot of reading and a lot of papers.

There arent enough characters to explain how awful this class was. Get ready to write a ton of papers that she grades according to how she would write them. The quizzes in the lectures are based on tiny details in the 4 books were forced to read. Dont ask for help, shell tell you your work is fine then turn around and critique it to no end.

WORST professor Ive ever had. Wont thoroughly read your paper yet she assigns so many. We have had conversations with her about it and then shell change the grade to keep us quiet. She expects you to somehow read her mind and write what she thinks despite her years of experience. She doesnt want you writing your own perspective EVER.

This professor is the least favorite professor Ive ever had. She is rude and thinks that her class is the only class you are taking. all you do is write papers that seem impossible to pass because you get one thing wrong and she fails you. Shell mark you late even if you arent just because she didnt see you at the beginning of class.

Do not take this professor. Very egoistic and thinks her class is the only one you have in your schedule. Four 200+ page books, harsh grader. If you don't write what is aligned with her opinion you will fail the paper. 8 papers in total, each prompt is VERY DIFFICULT to process and write. Deducts points everytime you don't talk in class. All nuts.
