avoid like the plague unless you want to ruin you gpa. There is no honor is taking a class with a harder professor.

She's terrible. Her jokes are awful. Her assignments are rediculously hard and unclear. She's also now easy on the eyes.

This is absolutely the worest English teacher at Imperial Valley College. I went everyday, never missed a class and still got a C-. I'm a 3.5 avg. student, and I've had hard classes before, but this is the first time I fail a class due to a bad teacher. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. IVC needs to get rid of incompetent teachers!

She is an awful teacher, the worst teacher I have ever had. I am a good student with a B Avg. GPA, she made every students life a living hell. Don't take a class with her, there are better english teachers at IVC then her. I would highly recommend, Mr. Huemman, Mr. Davis, Mr. Rapp, but avoid Mrs. Cormier!

She is not at all helpful. Runs off topic making jokes that only she laghs at.

HORRIBLE TEACHER DO NOT TAKE HER!!! I have always been great in every english class i have taking in the past, i have ALWAYS done great in my essays, B's and A's. but cormier takes off points for NO reason, and does not have a proper grading method. DONT TAKE HER!!!

Not good, avoid at all costs.

Class is not dismissed until said. Must pay attention to lengthy not so interesting lectures. Jokes are not funny, and often said. NOTES, NOTES, NOTES. If sees potential in student, will offer to redo assignment in her office during HER time. Likes to pick at students. Not there to be a friend. Not recommended for freshman year!

Great person but really hard class..

If you want to have to do 101 essays take her. if you love to spend every week on essays and research take her. If you hate life take her.

I got traumatized with this professor. She's a tough grader. I went to tutors and had my essays proof read by 3 people whom major was English, and still she was giving me D's on my essays. I had to drop her class. The only good thing is that she doesn't gives any test. Take it from an A student with a 3.8 GPA. I Will never recommend her to anyone.

Her lectures are boring and unclear, but she can be interesting sometimes. Very tough grader.

Assignments and papers are a lot longer than you would get with other professors. Grades very harshly. If you fail one assignment or paper you basically fail the class.

She does not help you at all you go up to her for help and she technically tells you that your gonna fail. Also this is something most of my class saw this semester is that the only people that were passing her class were White. I recommend that you don't take english with her.

Summary: Boring class, awful jokes, Professor who likes to talk too much. Only interesting lecture was the background for Macbeth. Grading is a bit tough I guess, most people I know get low scores on their essays even though they ask for her help. To be fair she is very well educated but she needs to find a way to teach better. I am passing for now

Half the class drop since she was hard on the essays, she gives a long explanation of what she expects in every essay but hardly shows any examples, so be ready to work the whole semester, she really doesnt try to help out and if you are in danger to fail she will straight up tell you to drop before failing.

Do not get her very hard to please. I went to the writing lab for all the essays she assigned and still received low scores. She is very hard and rude Avoid!!

She is a very tough grader.

This professor will teach you the material without shortcuts, however; she can be a tought grader and be confusing at times when she changes due dates. she also didnt posted progression of our grades on canvas for the entire semester which made it a whole lot worse, she only let us keep the graded essays to get an idea of where we were at.

Professor Cormier often goes off on irrelevant rants in order to hold her students captive for as long as possible. She is extremely picky when grading your essays and she reads all of her lectures straight off canvas. She does not connect well with her students and does not care that you have a life outside of her class. To her: class > work.

Started with a class of 30. Ended with a class of 7. DO NOT TAKE HER.

Boring And Hard Grader With Few Assignments In Grade Book

VERY boring and long lectures, shes always talking and trying to make jokes. Overall a very nice person but not that great at explaining and there is no actual class work only essays that she doesnt clearly explain. Very tough grader and is extremely picky with all essays.

Professor Cormier loves listening to herself talk. She teaches by directly reading off a pre-made PowerPoint and believes she is the only class you have during the semester. She's excellent at making you feel inferior and dumb. However, she is the ONLY teacher for English 102, so good luck.

Her instructions are convoluted and unclear. During COVID19, she posted a letter to the class that this was so unfair to her to have to teach online, and insinuated that our grades will likely suffer because of it. She then just uploaded recordings of herself reading. She's rude and doesn't try at all. Even before that she was inaccessible.

She really made this class HELL before and during the COVID situation. On test she would not give feeback AT ALL she would make fun of your answer if the answer was incorrect and did not help at all! It's true, she will belittle you. It's a shame she is the only instructor teaching this course.

Judy doesnt seem to care about her students at all, when asking for help she just seems to make fun of you and tells you too bad and try harder next time. She is the only teacher l teaching this course which is unbelievable, even the staff and counselors are trying to remove her due to many complaints of students. Im sorry but shes a b word

She doesn't help you with papers. The assignments are mysteries and she only has a few assignments so. If you fail a paper you're better off dropping the class. You can structurally write a perfect paper but if it's not 100% what she expects you will fail. Avoid the stress and avoid this class at all costs.

There are many papers which are fine but when there are certain things that you need to change on the papers but then she will not be specific and she will just say that you need to do better "editing" yet she brings up more issues when you have already resubmitted a paper she sent back for corrections. My majors English and she teaches it badly.

Honestly, I wish that I would not have taken her she is a tough grader, and her criteria for grading is just ridiculous. Assignments are limited so beware, barely provides any feedback on her grading. After going to the writing center to revise my paper for the 4th time, I still got a low score. JUST TAKE ANOTHER PROFESSOR AND SAVE YOURSELF TIME.

Seemed not to give too much time in preparing for this class. She reads word-by-word off a premade power point, constantly goes off topic during her lectures, and can talk for hours and hours. If you can take another professor I would suggest you do so. She believes she is always correct and has no problem belittling you in front of others.

she is plain horribkle

She expects everybody to get all the essays assignments done like in one day and plus she makes it so complicated and confusing. Everything in her class is time consuming, she doesn't even give you time to submit assignments hours before the due date which it's always due at 11:59p.m. the essays are extremely hard to do too much specific details.

This professor is not a great teacher. She is not able to explain what you did wrong and she will not correct you, she will just tell you to redo the assignment and will give no good feedback. She needs to work more on her communications and how to be specific with her essays which are not hard but it is difficult to get a passing grade.

Avoid this Professor! First, she is horrible at explaining assignments. Second, she is very strict at grading anything, she doesn't remove points she just gives you a zero if you do something wrong. She isn't understanding at all and won't provide second chances regardless if you email her about it. She was mentally draining for me. I had to drop.

She genuinely asks for too many specific details in essays, and wants everything structured PERFECTLY that it's overwhelming. The essay prompts are uninteresting, which makes it even more difficult. I do believe the class is passable if you put in the work, but you REALLY have to pay attention to what she wants. Def do not recommend her, though!

She is extremely demanding, if you work this class is not for you

She is a very strict grader, and her expectations often feel harsher than necessary. Her rubric deducts points for even minor errors, and her approach to grading discussions is especially tough. A small mistake can lead to a failing score, which doesn't reflect the effort students put in.

if you're reading this please be a more considerate person.

Please listen to me! DO. NOT. TAKE. THIS. CLASS. Extremely tough grader. Not a lot of work, but the expectations for quality is extremely high.

This teacher is extremely particular about how homework/essays/research papers need to be done, and if extremely hard to please. Wouldn't recommend.
