The worst ever! I'm getting an B in the class, however, this professor is by far the rudest, most un prepared. This professor will threaten all GPA's. Do not take

She kept talking nonsense,so most of the class chose to leave after the break, then she would start taking attendences.

Graduating seniors do not take her class! well don't take her class regardless, but she seems to think she's gods give and above everyone else so she waits the longest amount of time humanly possible to posts grades. Pretty important if you're graduating. She's rude. Insensitive, brilliant, but a witch and has no problem making you feel stupid.

One of the worst teachers that I had taken. I had an issue with her and talked to my advisor about her and she doesn't have a great reputation. Every time I wanted to talk to her about my grade, she was never in her office. I regret ever signing up for her class.

The worst teacher that I had taken. She treats her students like a teenager. No respect. A lot of reading! (no explanation, you have to find explanation by yourself). She is not good at teaching. We take this class to gain knowledge of the hospitality law. Students are not experts, so we need easy explanation, and lecture.

I took her class last year and it was miserable! A law course was already difficult enough but she made it even worse! She treated us like a kid with her disrespectful attitude and the ridiculous seating chart.

College should be hard but you should not fear going to class. Although I always read the chapters and was prepared for class I still knew if she called me out I would not know how to answer and she would try and shame me in front of everyone. She is one of the most disrespectful professors I have ever taken and the rudest person I have ever known

she sounds more of professional than teacher.. in other words the teaching skills is very low, she used the outside tactics she learned from the field (law firm) SO HERE WE GO, she made fun of students if they asks for something simple.!!! also there is an authority use . basically if you don't agree with her point you are going to fail. yes

She just tries so hard to be funny just to keep students in class because she knows they'll leave. she knows most students are going to fail every semester. She seems to enjoy it. SO Rude thinking she is god and students are retarded ,Who cares if you teach this class or not get a life. Lol

Cotham is knowledgeable. But! be prepared for completely unclear instructions, incredibly hard exams (even if you study!), and lectures with no notes so you just have to guess what is important and what isn't. Puts out announcements on Webcampus that are not sequential and aren't emailed so you have to hunt for them. Wouldn't recommend.

PART 1: Where do I began? Hmmm... Well I can definitely say that she is a challenging professor. Not in a sense that she wants to inspire her students to think outside the box, but more on a how can I make my students lives harder today. (THAT'S NOT IT, LOOK UP) ^^^

PART 2: I mean some of the things she does is super unnecessary. And she is not even clear on what she wants done with the group projects, when they are due, or what specific assignments are set out. I am warning you now, STAY OUT OF THE DANGER ZONE!!!

I'll start by saying I remained optimistic going into Cotham's courses as I assumed the negative folks on here were plain lazy. Wrong. This wouldn't be a tough course if it was taught by a good professor who cared. Plain & simple - she's an attorney by profession. Doesn't put grades in, won't let you speak to her in class, makes life HELL all term.

Very disorganized. Fails to keep up with grades. Won't answer simple questions during class time. Also, makes class very uncomfortable for students. I've never experienced such undermining "professionalism."

She gives you a lot of homework(You will spend up to 8 hours doing it). for the exams you will get no study guide. Your life will be miserable for the entire semester

She is awful. Just awful. Don't take her, you won't get higher than a C even if you study

Worst Professor!!!! UNORGANIZED and all over the place! Dont waste your money and time with this professor! Your not going to learn anything.

Awful. That's all I can say

Just don't take her. Save yourself money and time

She hides your grade from you, does not respond to the emails, and won't talk to you even for an extremely small time unless it is office hours.

This professor is beyond unprofessional. She uses "lol" in her email replies and doesn't even know which student she is talking to. She emailed me blaming for something I did not do and when anyone posts a question she just deletes them before your classmates can help you. On top of that she's rude and looks down on you as if you are a 10 year old.

NEVER TAKE THIS prof!! Everything is unclear and confusing. You will not get you grade on time and you don't know how assignments count on grade. The information and assignments are a lot. Did 11 DUEs on one day. Worst professor! Learning nothing from this class. Don's waste time.

Bro we are two weeks into online class and I really don't know what is going on. SO UNCLEAR. I know she reads these so hey, please help us out. We are so lost.

She does not answer emails or text messages and will become very short with students for asking questions during zoom classes. Her syllabus is not updated for the online format and her assignment grid does not match up with anything she says in class. Nobody I have talked to in her class has any idea what she expects of us or what to do ever.

Very disorganized and at times, passive aggressive to students.

Professor Cotham is extremely tough. She seems like she really cares about the students, but doesn't show that when giving assignments. I remember one week she gave 6 assignments... in one week.... with no prior notice and it wasn't in the syllabus she just decided to add 6 extra assignments. DO NOT TAKE HER if you have a choice! I had no option.

This is the worst professor I have had, which made me come to this website to tell you. DO NOT TAKE HER. We have about 3 weeks left of class and of 20-30 assignments only 2-4 are graded. Instructions are so unclear and she is extremely disorganized. You will be lost the entire semester and will not know how you are doing.

Professor Cotham teaching method is not for everyone. Listen to all her lecture and take a lot of notes, just work hard and email her if you need anything. PS if your reading this THANK YOU PROFESSOR COTHAM I have learned.

Avoid her at all costs. She does not grade assignments in a timely manner (still have things to be graded from Sept 1), she is unclear in instructions and says to email her, but takes days to reply, if at all. Be cautious going into her class and check your Canvas often for new assignments that shell randomly assign.

Cotham is extremely disorganized, gives little to no instruction on assignment requirements and posts heavy assignment loads with short notice (contradicting her own syllabus). She is rude and unresponsive to questions or emails. She does not grade anything until the end of the semester. You will not learn anything that you couldnt google for free

I thought I was a generous individual. Before I took her class. Her class might not be extremely challenging, yet her class (technically a zoom call class that all the students participate) does not really tell you much. She does not communicate with students, does not try to teach professionally as a professor and just tell us read a textbook.

Do you like complete uncertainty, passive aggressive behavior, rude comments, and heartburn? Well do I have the professor for you! Prof Cotham is the worst (Thats right! Worst!) professor UNLV has to offer. If you sign up for her class prepare for a traumatic experience. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. EVERY NEGATIVE RATING IS 100% TRUE.

She's passive aggressive, rude, and unresponsive. We have gone months without grades for assignments. We have last minute assignments, with less than a week to complete. She is rude if she responds to emails. I would never wish anyone to be forced to take this class. She has not made "online learning" any easier with her lack of communication.

Don't take her class at any chance, she's very disorganized.

Will someone let me know when the nightmares will stop? Been two years and I'm still haunted.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm on Deans List and have never experienced such a poor professor like Cotham. You have been warned

Passive aggressive, rude, and ego trips. Not worth it. Don't take her if you're a senior, she will delay your graduation

Worst Professor in the college, petty like a high school student. Controlling and not available for decent feedback. Very bad STAY AWAY. She should not be teaching, doing it for her own ego for some reason

I genuinely think she enjoys watching students fail. She does everything in her power to make the class as impossible as possible. She also hasn't graded anything so I have no idea where I stand in the class. I have never hated a class as much as this class my advice would be to run, run far far away. You do not want to take this class with her.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS! If you have a difference in opinion or point of view that she does not agree with, she will antagonize and insult you in front of the class. She has made several students feel worthless and "dumb" even though we are in college to learn.

Cotham is the rudest individual I've ever encountered. She makes class really uncomfortable. Keep your head down and don't let her know your name

If I knew I would have to take law with Cotham in the hospitality program, I would've chosen a different major or have gone to a different university. I am not joking. It's simply not worth it.

Cotham makes the class unbearable. Do not take her - avoid at all costs. She is the rudest person I have ever known

She is simply mean. The passive aggressive edge she has in her lectures makes me feel very uneasy. She will snap at students for asking respectful questions - as if it is not her job to teach.

Monster with a capital M. Never been so ready for a class to be over with. I know she reads these - take a hint or retire.

She takes a long time to respond to emails, does not give clear instructions on assignments. She OVERLOADS you with all of these assignments and information in announcements instead of just giving the instructions on the actual assignment. Very difficult teacher.

Horrible teacher, so rude for absolutely no reason. Teaching and assignments are fine but her attitude makes the class unbearable.

Cotham does not grade assignments till the very end of the semester and yells at students for asking questions in class. The rudest person I've ever met. Nothing good comes from Cotham, I learned everything from the book. Cotham provides only roadblocks, nothing else

This is hands down the worst course I have ever taken. I enrolled thinking it can't be as bad as everyone says, but it was worse than that. She is full of excuses as to why she didn't respond to you or why she didn't grade work. She is not willing to help students and if you ask she will make you feel stupid. She does not grade work on time at all.

Cotham is incredibly rude and will not grade assignments until the end of the semester. When she's confronted about why nothing has been graded since the beginning of the semester, she comes unglued and starts verbally attacking students in front of the whole class. She is not fit to be in a position of authority

Pure torture and I had to retake it. Prof Cotham is a very snide bitter lady who's constantly throwing backhanded complements and rude slights at anyone who can't read her mind when she asks a question. Lectures are filled with dead silence as everyone's too scared to raise their hand to participate. Assignments come out of nowhere with no warning.

WORST PROFESSOR IVE HAD. Prof. Cotham takes forever to grade things, meaning your grade is based off of quizzes and tests for the majority of the semester until she puts grades in at the end so you have no chance to see what you need to improve on. She is also horrible at answering emails, so expect to be ignored.

UNLV if you are seeing this please have her Fired, throughout the entire semester with this professor she has not respond to any of my emails as well as my other class peers, she grades so late, and we never got to see 50% of our grades before it was posted on myunlv. Who HIRED this professor?? she is not experienced at her JOB. #fireDanaCotham

Professor Cotham, to my understanding, does not seem to know how to work canvas. Her modules and assignments do not match up with ease or consistency. Some of the assignments had no submission boxes available. Lastly, some links that were supposed to be "visible" or provided were not. I hope that this was just a hiccup or a bad semester.

Half a semester is done, but only Syllabus quiz has been graded. Never get emailed response, so I've went during the break discuss my final due to classmate dropped out of the class, she rolled her eyes saying "I'm on break". Taking her class with my tuition is seriously a torture.

Class is over in a week and all we have is Syllabus Quiz graded. She is not present in her office during the office hour. With huge favoritism, she likes to discuss with certain students only. She is really rude, judges on others, I don't understand how she teaches "Diversity" when she was the most judging professor at UNLV.

A very incompetent professor does not provide accessibility for students to thrive and succeed. A very rude teacher overall and picks on students for no reason. All she does is talk in class and never grades anything on time, so beware. Also, be cautious of the random pop quizzes she makes.

This is the worst professor that I have ever encountered at UNLV. She constantly cancels classes, gives pop quizzes when we don't even take notes during her class because all she does is talk. She also doesn't grade anything on time. She is a very rude professor and likes to pick on students, so beware.

Taking her summer class and her directions are unclear, she made discussions due on Thursday, although her assignments were all due on Sundays. This class has a lot reading, quizzes, and writing assignments in one week. Her quizzes also vary with written responses. Would not take again, a lot of ridiculous restrictions. (HMD 320)

On the syllabus she stated, this would be the most work you do for a 1 credit class. Throughout the month I have had 35 assignments, with 2 finals. Her response times for emails are long and most likely have to follow up with her if she doesn't get back to you within a day.

Takes too long to grade any assignments. Everything is unclear. Would not take this professor again.

You wont know what assignments you have for the class until Monday the week of as it's not in the syllabus, average 7-9 assignments weekly. large projects you won't know until week of & still expect regular weekly assignments on top of the project. Gives 2 100pt projects due within the same week. A lot of busy work & wont grade until she's asked to

This is a very difficult class as it is and the professor makes it that much harder. This class is for two months and is averaging 15 assignments a week. Most of the assignments being papers. She doesn't grade on time and forget about her responding to any questions. I have other two month classes but the work load is easily 50-60% less.
