She is very lazy, and she makes the students work the problems out on the board. Shes not a very good teacher, because she does not teach the material.
Not good teacher doesnt know anything, she always says yes even if the problem is wrong. Never get her worst teacher ever!!!!!!!!!!!
this teacher is the worst teacher at dade you have to teach yourself and study extra hard just plain hoorible don't take her big mistake
I loved her. She sent the in class notes to our email. Gave lots of extra credit for doing homework. Always informed me what my grade was. Given you do have to read the book and figure some things out on your own but I liked it that way. She is great super nice.
She is alot of fun and very informative about eastern and western medicine. I am not sure anyone could teach chemistry and make it fun or easy.
I would recomend this professor to anyone, because she is a awsome teacher as well as a wonderful person. I learned a great deal in this class although you have to do your homework.
Great teacher. I loved the class. Would recommend it to all.
Great teacher, very professional and helpful. She keeps the class updated with the grades, and gives extra credits for the hm. Textbook is used, especially for hm. She get in early to help with hm exercises. I recommend her highly!
A very good teacher, always takes the time to make sure you understand, thus keeping you motivated. Even if I was to fail this class she stilll will be a great teacher, anyone who really needs to learn chemistry this is the person to take.
Very knowledgeable of the material,super helpful,shows interest in students progress and assist w/ hm, if you get early to classes. Lot of extra credits. You'll learn!
Good professor, strictly by the book and the syllabus, easy class to take on a Sunday morning.
very nice
a great teacher who takes the time to make sure you understands.
well you can't ask for a better teacher! she takes the time to make sure you undrestand the concepts, and sundays are perfect for me !! A + to this professor
she is very understanding and has a great personallity
She is vvery understanding and helpful. If you have trouble in chemistry you should take her you wont fail...
very nice. Lots of extra credit!
strictly by the book and syllabus. Do all your homework and you will pass the class.
Very helpful.
Do your homework!! The extra credit really helps you a lot. Definitely go to class and read over the chapter based on the syllabus so that you can ask questions in lecture. She is a very intelligent person and very reasonable. If you are active (do homework, read text) and go to class 100% of time...you will surely get an A or B in the class.
She is very nice, she helps the students a lot
Fun Professor, always smiling and having a good time during the labs. Be on her good side by coming to class and be prepared for class. Gives lots of extra credit and explains word for word what your exam is based on.
Great professor! She was very helpful and available. She gave good reviews for the tests.
CHM1045L. THIS PROF. IS AWESOME, SHE IS MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP ANY OF HER STUDENTS. SHE IS EASY TO GET ALONG WITH. GO TO CLASS AND BE PREPARED AND YOU WILL MAKE AN A OR B. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER! B.Y.
She tries really hard and she is definitely willing to help and explain and will give extra credit for the work, but is really hard to follow her. I strongly recommend reading the book and going to the lab, otherwise GOOD LUCK!
Great professor
Great proffesor
Enjoy the class, she is very outgoing. Recommended for students
She is very helpful and has a very optimistic attitude. She enjoys teaching the class.
Great teacher!
Great professor. she knows a lot
She has been very helpfull on this course. Also, she has had quite a interest towards the students that are not doing well on the course, so she can figure out how to help them better.
great professor, will take time to explain clearly to student if they are having problem. highly recomended!!
This teacher does not teach very well. Her test are hard but she will help you in them. She also is full of it
ok, im going to be straigh up honest with you guys, this professor is extremely nice she will give you extra credit like there is no tomorrow and she'll give you study guides before the exam wich is a good thing if you knew how to do them, because they will help you tremendously on the exams. However, this teacher is by far the worst i've ever had
If your going to take this class, take it with her. She doesn't lecture and do examples as much as other professors, so if you willing to learn some on your own then you should take her, if not take someone who does a lot of examples and lectures. Extra Credit was great!
this is the worst professor ever! does not teach she assumes you know the material when you ask her a question and she doesnt kno the answer she "lets move on" horrible horrible do not take her unless you have already taken the course makes students do examples on the board like kindergarden
She is the Worst!does NOT explain the subject at all,she assumes it is too easy to be explained,and if u ask her anything she will make another student explain it to u making u feel stupid.she just sits and READ the power points.her test are hard: 58 questions and most of them with complicated calculations,save yourself some trouble DONT Take her!
DR. COCKROFT IS GREAT! SHE TAKES HER TIME , IS VERY HELPFUL & PRIDES HERSELF IN MAKING SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL
I took this professor for my CHM1045L n got an A.. i mean.. she is a great person.. really sweet.. she is not easy.. u need to study.. n do ur work.. she was great!
very helpful, patient, and concise
This proffessor was helpfull in every aspect of the semester, and also very understanding of my life outside of school. Thank you very much prof. I do recomend ms. cockroft to every student seeking to take CHM 1033.
This professor was very uunderstanding thoughout the semester and had no problems understanding the difficulties i went thrue at home. i do recomend professor cockroft to every future CHM student. Thank you ms.Cockroft.
Ellafe's unique style brings humanity to chemistry. This was not a class that will be forgotten next semester. I believe our class would agree that she will be long remembered for bringing chemistry to life for us. Thank you for sharing yourself and your knowledge with us. Ellafe, please write that book, I want to share you with my family.
It was very interesting takingchemistry with her i think that the clue in her course is the union of your work and what she teaches. You really need to put a lot of your ownif you want to get a straight A without problem. She is very linient and understanding. Remember that chemistry is a big science, so you always want to lear but it needs effort.
This professor is great! She's very nice and actually cares about your progress in the class. She's always willing to help you out. She provides example questions for quizzes and exams and gives LOTS of extra credit. If chemistry isn't exactly your thing take her and you'll be assured a good grade, but don't think you don't have to study. =]
Professor Cockroft is an excellent choice if you want to understand Chemistry and have fun at the same time. She relates Chemistry to everyday life helping you to make the "connection"-instead of just relaying information. She is available for help and offers extra credit for homework( so you actually learn and get credit! :)) Awesome!
Prof. Cockroft was very helpful and made the material understandable.Attendance is crucial because missing one day you'll miss a lot. I recommend anyone to take her class.
Wow, this is one of the best teachers Miami-Dade has to offer. She's very nice and willingly helpful to you get the material. And the good thing about this class is that you actually learn. I love her class and highly recommend it!
That her and that's all I got to say. She know her material and really sharpen yours. I recommend her to all cause professor's like her doesn't come all the time. Nice, smart, cheerful!She's the best...
I took her for the fall semester 2008 for chm1033 and she keeps you upadated about your progress and if she see your not doing well she gives hope by making her test as easy as possible and she gives alot of credits which save me overall she's funny and this is the best applicable sciece Iever took at 8am on saturday morning.
The best. Nice, charming, loving, helpful, caring,and very-very intelligent. You will leave the semester being glad you read this comment and took the class. If you study what she tell you it will be a breeze. Chemistry is not a easy subject but with Professor Cockroft she'll have you thinking differently! Take her...
I WASN'T INTO CHEMISTRY MUCH...UT AFTER TAKING HER CLASS SHE MADE ME ENJOY CHEMISTRY N UNDERSTAND IT. SHE IS VERY HELPFUL AND PLUS SHE GIVES OUT EXTRA CREDIT. SO IF U WANNA LEARN N HAVE FUN UNDERSTANDING CHEMISTRY...TAKE HER CLASS!! AWSOME PROFESSORZ
Your sitting on the couch letting life pass you by. Your gonna take Chemistry anyhow-Don't let a opportunity of a lifetime pass you by. Take Professor Cockroft! That's all I got to say.
Good Professor
If it's your first time taking chemistry ever...I recommend you should have her as your teacher. I never took chemistry ever in my life and she made it a great first experience for me. I was so confused in class but she helped me out a lot. Also her lab is great. I had so much fun working in the lab. It was great having her for lecture and lab!!!!!
First time taking chemistry in she pretty cool. Gives extra credit,explains what will be on her test. GREAT TEACHER :-)
THIS PROFESSOR IS REALLY GOOD SHE WILL HELP YOU WITH ANY MATERIALS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHEN IT COME DOWN TO CHM1033 SHE REALLY NICE AND SHE GIVE YOU A GOOD CONCEPTS OF WHAT CHM1033 IS ALL ABOUT. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY AND SHE GIVE LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT FOR HER COURSE. IF YOU WANT A GOOD PROFESSOR FOR CHM1033 THIS PROFESSOR IS GOOD. TAKE IT WITH HER.
Chemestry is not my favorite subject but taking it with her it is easier and understandable. She cares about the students grades and gives a lot of extra credit. Attendance is excential for getting an A.
please any new comment about this professor regarding chm-1033 class.
she is very easy going. she thinks about students a lot. however, some students take advantage of her kindness that they are cheeting.unfortunatly, she does not penalize there people...so if you like that way, take her.
This teacher was very helpful throught the enitre semster. She gave out 3 tests and a final and they are easy if you study for them and she gives you 10 extra points if you complete the homework. I never liked chemistry but she made it easy to understand.
Crokroft professor encourage you to learn..she give a lot of extracredits.She is the best.
this professor is the best. She gives a lot of extra credit. take this class. Thank you professor
She is the greatest Chemistry Professor. She is very knowledgeable. She is helpful. She gives a lot of extra credit,but you need to study because Chemistry is a difficult subject. If you study, you are guaranteed an easy A. Thank you professor. You are the best.
She is very helpful. Eventhough Chemistry is hard she finds a way for students to enjoy the subject and the class and make the class interesting. Thank you Professor.
she is very nice and very intelligent but chemistry is not an easy subject you have to study if you want to get an A she helps you but you have to do the rest (study and do homework)
Professor Cockroft is a magnificent professor.Chm1033 is not an easy subject, you do have to study and you need the book.She makes the subject easy to comprehend.She arrives 1hr prior to class to help students with HW questions, etc.Always available through Angel,emails or the class.I'll miss U Dr.Cockroft.If you Study = A.
CHM1033 is not an easy class,but professor Cockroft makes it very easy to understand.You need the book.She's always available through email,angel or before/after class.Amazing teacher,you will not regret taking her class,but you must study to earn an A.U are the best Mrs.Cockroft.Thank you for your intelligence,effort and encouragement. we'll miss
This Professor has a lot of knowledge in the subject, she gives students opportunity to earn extra credit. I strongly recommend her...!
Good teacher. Helpful, and encourages students to learn.
The professor was great. She offered many incentives to all in the class that helped us pass with good grades. She taught chemistry and showed her passion and knowledge in a way that it helped me understand and appreciate chemistry. I definitely recommend her as professor. I liked her class so much that I was up every Saturday morning at 6:30 t
I would defeniately recomend this professor to everyone. She is an excelent professor, demands a lot ,but will teach and explain everything that you need to know about chemistry. everyone will benefit from taking part in her courses.
one word Awesome! she is very helpful and loves chemistry. she gives extra credit which definitely helps boost your grade. trust me you wont regret it...anything you need she'll help you with it.nothing can go wrong in her class :)
This professor is such a sweet person! She helps out a lot and makes sure her students learn. One great thing she offers is the extra credit which is a big plus! I recommend her just be ready to learn and Study!!
Dr. Cockcroft is excellent. She makes it easy for students to understand the concepts of Chemistry by relating the subject to every day life. She is helpful and pleasant and is always there for her students. She certainly has enable me to gain tremendous appreciation for chemistry.
Dr. Cockcroft is an amazing instructor who makes it easy for students to understand and appreciate the fundametals of chemistry. She relates the subject with everyday's life thereby making her sessions fun and seemingly short. She is very helpful and coorperative to her students. She is a tremendous asset to MDC
GREAT PROFESSOR. WHAT YOU SEE IT'S WHAT YOU GET. EXPECT TO STUDY FOR A GOOD GRADE.SHE'S FAIR AND HONNEST. ALSO SHE GIVES HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT THAT HELP YOU STUDY AND GIVE YOU EXTRA POINTS ON THE EXAM.
Great professor! Very willing to help students understand, usually arrives at 7AM for an 8AM Saturday class to help students who choose to ask for it. Do the homework, study, and you will do well. In lab, you need to participate in doing the experiments or you won't understand the concepts and procedures. Lab also helps understand class material.
EXCELLENT Professor!!! She cares more of her students to learn and explained how chemistry affects your daily life. If you study and do the homework, you will do well in her class. In lab, you have to participate, otherwise, you will get lost. Also, it gives you a better understanding how theory comes to life.
Hi!! Can someone please tell me which campus this teacher teaches at and are the classes in the morning or evening? Please help!!!:) Started chemistry in the fall in the evening and I need a great teacher!! Thanks!!!!!!!!
She teaches at wolfson. The schedule for fall 09 is up. She is going to go quiiick.
This Professor is amazing and she cares so much for students that you would not regret taking her for your chemistry class or lab. I have seen friends take chemistry and drop the class because it was so hard and when taking the class with her they passed the class with great grades. I had her as a professor for my lecture and she made it fun and ea
She's ok. The one thing that i can say about her is she care alot about her students. You basically have to teach youself because she powerpoints are not her's. Just do the homework,read the book, come to class and you'll be fine...
Shecannot teach and does not like when you ask questions eventhrough she ask you if you have any questions. She doesn't over the test in class or during her office time. Gives alot of extra credit to make up for lack of teaching skills and low grading skill and alot of homework. Self study class. Good Luck!!

The ones that put the neg comments prob walked in late every class! Teach's fr PPT but its whats on the test! She teaches high school so she makes this class fun w/ examples I used to record her classes bc im not a chem person I passed w/ an A and trust me I would study overnight gives upto 12 pts ex for hw if trned in the day of exam
She is does not know how to teached at all. Her classes go quick beacause she gives extra credit like crazy than most teachers. If she didn't get give extra credit than alot people would not be taking her. Doesn't over the exams. She spends class time reading slides not explaining the concept.Self study.
She is not a bad teacher at all! lots of extra credit, impossible to fail! She doesn't mind questions at all, don't understand why people say otherwise. The problem is when people don't listen and then she has to repeat what she said when she just explained it. This is COLLEGE, we are expected to act accordingly. Self study a must. Take her!
Lectures are worthless due to the fact that she does not teach. I spent the the whole semester teaching my self. All she does is read slides after slides. She give extra credit for hw and coming to class on time. I give her a "F" for teaching skills.
Dr.Cockcroft is a sweet lady. She speeds through slides so you will have to self teach. The best way to study is by doing the homework. This way you get the extra credit and actually workout problems. The extra credit goes a long way.
The easiest professor i ever had. I enjoy her class that's all i can say. She makes it easy for you to pass. You have to try hard to fail her class.
Ok if you really need to understand chemistry, don't take her because she is a little disorganized(actually, quite disorganized). She is SUCH a nice lady though I can't get mad at her when she confuses me. Really. She is a sweetie. But the lectures are a little pointless. Lab is fun so far.
Easiest A ever. So much extra credit Just study a little, do all her online quizzes (which are 2 tries so you get to see the answer and then try again)so all her homeworks and anything she assigns as extra credit and this is the easiest A. I can fail the final now and still get an A. I highly recommend!!!! Super nice lady helps with everything!
Flexible Teacher, Make it on time every class. Do assigment by due Date, never after. shes a lovely Lady.
I liked this class very much. It help me to learn a lot about chemistry and understand the concepts. I liked the experiments a lot. they were easy to understand. the professor is nice
she is very nice
She is great!! Took lab with her and got an A. She is extremely nice and willing to answer all your questions. Make sure to do all pre-lab questions ahead of time and you get extra points. Highly recommend.
incredibly easy, just turn in the lab reports and you get an A. I didnt even have a test. just show up and get your A
WORTS professor EVER!!! u wanna learn??? DONT TAKE HER!!!
Loved her. The sweetest lady. She uses the book for everything but just reads from it doesnt really teach. but if you dont understand the practice questions she is very willing to explain and goes over it on the bored and does tons of problems in class and involves everyone. The book she chose for the class was GREAT. Excellent reference.
SHE IS SUPER EASY. HOWEVER, IF YOU NEED TO LEARN, YOU HAVE TO WORK BY YOURSELF. SHE DOESNT TEACH, SHE ONLY READS FROM POWER POINT. IF YOU WANT AN EASY A TAKE HER. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN, I WOULDNT RECOMMEND HER.
An "easy" teacher in terms:you get extra points /easy As by turning in HW before lectures, preferably,& doing chapter reviews,& other things in class.She's knowledgeable,but doesn't seem to know how to teach it.She requires you to be at least 30min before her class(you can get points for that). To learn, study by yourself or group!Not too helpful
Very nice teacher. She doesnt only grade exams and HW but she likes to see effort. She does give a lot of extra credit to give you a chance to excel in the class, if you are a little behind. She doesnt try to fail you, she wants everyone to understand and pass.
This teacher DOES NOT TEACH! If you want to learn, you have to teach yourself :( Super Nice lady though.
Mrs. Cockroft is an excellent professor. She provides all the necessary tools "for you to learn chemistry." Don't expect to learn by just attending her lecture,you need to work hard, not just with her, but other chm professors. Yes, she gives a lot points, which makes an A easily attainable. It's not about the easy grade, it's about learning.
Great! this was my first time taking online class and she was great. I recommend anyone to take her. She was always there when you need her, very well taught with her power point. The best!
Excellent professor. A true scientist who can improvise and still get the results of the original experiment. Very clear and thorough and she is very helpful, especially since she is able to answer all the questions of every student in the class, which is a rarity among professors today
Love her she's so helpful and so smart her credentials are so encouraging and she's willing to help in every way she can! Her husband is also highly intelligent and amazing at teaching chemistry take this class you won't be sorry
Her exams are quite long and difficult. However, she does give extra points for quizes, homework, attendance etc. that can boost your grade a lot. The book will be your best friend in this class. Do not expect her to teach you anything, you must do the homework & teach yourself. She is a really nice lady and I really liked her.
Dr. Cockroft we'll explain the subject and lab work when class start it is your responsibility to be on time in order to understand what you have to do in the lab. She always willing to help very positive and caring about her student .
Dr. Cockroft explaining the material when class start. She makes organic lab easy to understand so it can help you with the homework assignment. She want her student to successes.
She is very clear and she is very helpful and nice. she explaining the material when class starts and answering question. checking your homework or lab report.
worst professor I've ever taken, does not have teaching skills, you basically have to learn by yourself since all she does is talk about her personal life. She gives extra credit for everything, if you don't care about learning take her, otherwise please stay away.
This was mini term CHM1045 BLENDED class MEETING ONCE A WEEK FOR 7 WEEKS. Professor Cockroft was extremely helpful and considering the tight schedule the tests weren't too bad. Lots of extra credit and great test reviews online. Would take again.
