Her class was easy enough, but she was completely useless if you had a problem. The school's computer server crashed and she still marked students' work as late if it wasn't turned in before that. She would grade you harder if you found a mistake she made in grading. Very nitpicky and irritable.

Ms. COBBS apparently doesn't know she teaches a 100 level English. She expects perfection. She is AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL! I hated her class and would never suggest taking her for anything. If you need English for your major, she is not who you want. You will hate your life because the assignments are ridiculous. Nothing you write will be good enough.

Shes tough. In my opinion, she grades entirely too hard for English 101. There little to no time to take quizzes and she makes you read about things that have no relevance to the tests. 1/10 would not recommend for freshmen or someone whos been out of school for years.

If I could give her a Zero rating, I so would. She is too tough, and she's awful. She does not like to explain anything, and if she does it makes no sense what so ever. I do not believe she could even pass. She does not care to help you, nor does she specify what you did wrong. She will only tell you that you need to fix your paper

Throughout the class, I have had many people who have already taken English 101 read my essays and give me feedback. I would always listen to their feedback and fix my essay but it was never enough. She will critique every little thing and take many points off for it. If you want to get over a 90 there's no chance.

Never again. She gives you NO TIME to take quizzes where she wants you to elaborate quotes and be specific. Actually, you can never be specific enough for her. Also does not offer much help with the huge research paper thats due at the end when she just pawns it off on the students to grade each other. Awful teacher.

There's a reason why she is one of the worst rated teachers. She gives you barely any time to do tests/quizzes. Her rubrics/modules are vague and are all over the place. She barely grades papers, and when she does, she gives you a grade sheet to decode her criticisms. Incredibly lazy and unprofessional. Everything a teacher should not be.

Ms. Cobbs is the worst teacher I have ever had. I wish I knew about this site before I picked my classes. She doesnt give any real feedback and shes lazy. Instead of telling us what we need to do to fix papers she has us give feedback to each other. This doesnt make any sense to me because shes the hardest grader Ive ever had. STAY AWAY!

Every little thing is a problem. You can make your paper as perfect as it needs to be, she will still find something to critique. Had to constantly remind her to put a grade in for an assignment she gave me a zero in when it had already been done. DO NOT take her. If I knew about this site, I never would have. Probably won't get better than a C+.

Not sure why other students had a nightmare with this teacher. I took an online class with her and she was pretty alright, she must've improved a lot. Though, her quizzes and tests are tough and be prepared to do heavy reading. It's a hard class but she responds quickly and gives a grading rubric. Final Exam was nearly impossible to pass although.

Absolutely awful! Zero feedback and very unorganized. Make sure you read all modules before assignments because she likes to put different instructions for one assignment in multiple locationsOh and online classes mean nothing. You will be required to print and mail or bring in your paperwork, as well as submit it through canvas. 0/10.

Negative 5 stars, If you want to have a will to live DO NOT TAKE HER. The class is genuinely impossible. She takes forever to grade papers and grades way to hard. She makes students revise each others papers and rarely responds with helpful answers. I would rather jump off a plane with no parachute than take her again, and I'm scared of heights.

You can not review material missed on the test. You have peer reviews with little guidance and have to decode your mistakes on your own with her own personal feedback method. She can be condescending and rude at times. It is a learning experience and she does not offer much help. When an error is found on her part she will not give credit for it.

The harshest grader, I felt many of my grades were unfair especially for the amount of work I put in. Her emails are often condescending. Do not take her online. You will receive Cs for essays other teachers would give As on. I do not feel she cared about my success and did not offer opportunities to review essays.

I pride myself on being a good writer, but with her you cant win. She's the harshest grader, way too hard for an intro class. If you are taking it online, theres no office hours to discuss the massive research paper, even though she will tear it to pieces. theres no guidance. i wouldn't recommend, unless engl is your major and you're exceptional.

The tests she gave were difficult to complete due to the amount of time provided. I'm not a fast typer, so typing out a complete sentence with correct punctuation and spelling in less than a minute (long sentences too) is virtually impossible. You'll be writing a lot of papers too. I felt like she just didn't care. Absolutely awful experience.

Her class was terrible! There were no exact answers to half the questions on her tests; it was just a matter of guessing her opinion on the pieces of literature we were reading.

Enjoyed this class. Looking at other reviews, I was extremely nervous to have her. Class was easy. Lots of reading and a pop quiz after you read, but as long as you do the requirements, she gives you the grade you deserve. I read every day, so I did well on pop quizzes. Pay attention to lectures; they help tremendously in exams! Encourage everyone
