She is awesome! Very helpful, funny, and ditsey! If you are looking for a good teacher, and a way to understand english- she is the best teacher for you!
Cosand is the best english teacher. She gives somewhat a lot of work, but its easy. Her class is entertaining too.
She was dope. Always willing to help, even after hours. Great person
No Comments
Cosand is very friendly and she explains things in deatail, so it is easy to understand. I suggest taking her for eng 100 or eng 110. Her course was intrestring and very fun(Not Boring like most english courses).
the best english teacher! eventhough there were a lot of work in the class its still was pretty easy and she gives you a lot of extra credit points. As long as you keep up with the wrok it will be an easy "A".
I took Cosands class in the winter intersession. She was great. I love the way she teaches and she truly loves her job. I was able to learn how to write better papers and enjoy it at the same time.
ms. cosand is awsome at what she does. english is suppose to be boring but not in her class. to give you a head up there is a lot of work in her class but if you just do it and the extra credit there is no reason you should not get an A.
She's an awesome teacher. Always happy and smiling. She's very nice. Just make sure you do your work and you should do fine.
i have never liked english and im not very good at it but she just seemed to make it much easier for me! best eng teacher ive ever had.
She was an okay eng 110 teacher. Grades Essay pretty easy if you follow the directions and have little to none grammar problems. Use your Thesaurus! Do all journals and do extra credit. You can get a A/B for sure.
Ms. Cosand is the best english teacher ever! i took eng 10, 100, and 110 with her. she assigns a lot of work but its easy and worth it. do the work and you'll get the A. I did. she explains everything clearly and is very helpful. so now worries.
She's the nicest and most interesting professor i've met. She assigned lots of homework but it helps ur grade in the long run if u do them. Her choice of reading is great and she's always willing to help u with your essay:)I used to hate English but after her class, I now love English.
Best english teacher ever! She's not boring like most english teachers. Just do ur work and you'll do fine.
Mrs. Cosand rocked!!! She was pregnant the entire semester yet she was an angel!! No attitude at all!! I highly reccomend this teacher; she is awesome and alot of fun!!
Professor Cosand is super nice and helpful. She really just wants to help and make sure that the students learn. I don't think I ever saw her without a smile on her face.
This class was a lot of fun. You have to be willing to get over being shy, because you share ALL of your work in a big circle. Mrs. Cosand doesn't judge, and is a super nice lady! =)
Fairly easy. 4 in and out of class essays (research paper included). Quiz -- every other class meeting. Easy stuff, that is if you'd read! Lots of class discussion involved. PARTICIPATION IS A MUSTTT ^.^
The class is a little bit challenging, but Cosand will try her best to make her students understand everything that is covered. She is one of the best professors and she tells REALLY random funny stories!! you'll love it!
She is a pathetically brutal teacher.She's a harsh grader with little or no compassion for the student. If you are quiet or shy, you should definetaly NOT take Cosand, as your grade will surely suffer as a result. The type of teacher that will smile to your face and all the while slowly edge a dagger into your back. Avoid if possible.
take this teacher, you won't regret it.
I loved her class.She was so kind & sweet and the class was easy.She grades very fairly and is helpful.After taking her class,my writing became better.I'm very shy and my grade did not suffer as a result.The only way your grade will suffer is if you don't show up to class and do poorly on the essays/quizzes. Like I said, she is VERY FAIR.
Really interested in her students and helping them. Class really improved my writing skills. Quizzes are based on the short stories you read and most of your grade is based on essays. Attend class and you'll pass. Take her..see's a great teacher!
She's a great teacher! Her class has a lot of stuff to do but it's not so hard. She gives quiz on the reading, but it wouldn't be hard and affect your grade. 4 in-class essays, but you got to pick the highest score. She gives assignments to work at home but she also gives you a chance to revise, and you can have a letter grade higher
Her class is boring, but you should come to class because she takes attendance. She grades hard on essays, and she wants her students to speak up in class. If you want an easy class, don't take her
BEST ENGLISH TEACHER I HAVE EVER TAKEN. makes sure you understand every part of the materials. you write essays and have quizes on the reading homework and also do a couple of group work in class. if you can TAKE HER she is AWESOME!! and very caring and helpful!
Prof. Cosand is funny, nice and the class was enjoyable. Do all the work, do not be absent too often.The more involved you are in the class the class activities the higher your grade will be.
Two homework assignments a week. Grades very easy. If you just show up to class you are guaranteed a B.
Don't ever take this teacher unless you're a very good writer! she grades hard. There are 4 in-class essays and you have to pass at least 1 to pass her class. Those easays are hard; each is 3-4 pages long. Her class is boring, she keeps talking and talking and nobody seems to be comfortable in her class...it's quiet and lack of volunteer.
Actually, I disagree completely. I BECAME a very good writer BECAUSE of Professor Cosand. My essays were all over the place until I took her. If you are a bad writer you SHOULD take her. She is a very sweet lady, always willing to help, even lets you out early if you take the 3 hour night class
Mrs. Cosand's class was great. Pretty entertaining and the essays were not that bad. Attendance is mandatory and there are weekly quizzes along with in-class essays.
Mrs Cosand is a very helpful teacher, you will not find anyone in the GWC english department that explains the material throughly before an assignment is due. She sincerely seems to want her students to better their writing skills and she definetely helped me. I really enjoyed her class. She may seemed tough but she only writes based on your work.
Keisha is amazing!!! On the first day of class the workload seems very heavy. But the class is more than manageable. She will look over your paper with you and is very nice and helpful. She offers some extra credit which really bumps up your grade. The writing assignments are fun to write! Never boring. Group orientated class. I learned so much!
If you do not like group work, I would not reccomend her. Her lectures are very easy and not very boring. All the homework was out of the text book. I enjoyed her class, except for the group work part. I reccomend you take her if you are looking for a great teacher.
Professor Cosand is one of my favorite teachers at Golden West. She's very nice and helpful with whatever you need. I highly recommend taking her.
I loved her! Great teacher. Theres a lot of work, some homework, a few big essays and some reading and short quizzes every week. It wasnt that hard though, shes there if you need help, and grades really easily as long as you do your work. You have to show up to class or you get minus points. I got an A in her class easily. Def. reccommend her!
The instructor came off as very sweet and cheery on the first day, but towards the middle and end of the semester, she made us do a project on global warming, which was both unrelated to our studies and a complete waste of time. She was scatter brained and unorganized. Although her class is very easy and you do learn from the readings.
She's too amazing for me to describe it to you in words. Her kindness and passion drive my motivation to do well in her class. She doesn't merely teach you English, she teaches you values, skills, and things that are more valuable than gold or silver. The experience you get in her class is beyond the horrizon, something that I'll hold on to 4life.
Keisha is awesome. It is rare to find a professor who cares. Take her class, do the homework... get an A.
keisha is great, love her and her class. she teaches well and is very helpful. do the readings, pass the quizzes, write good essays, get an A. would recommend to anyone. so glad i took her and not someone else. oh, and she's easy on the eyes, too. just a beautiful person all around.
Very easy class but also still rewarding a learned a lot from the readings that she assigned and from her suggestions, not a very harsh grader when it comes to essays and lets you do them over, she is great!
great teacher. very helpful. but if you don't like homework it is a very bad class for you.
Tons of homework. Stay on top of it and you'll be fine.
Professor Cosand is amazing! I loved her from the start, she is sweet and has a good sense of humor. Her class has a fair workload, nothing too crazy and the grade you recieve is up to you. You use your textbook every other week and have to read 50 pages a week which isn't all that bad and then do weekly journals on your reading! take her!
Professor Cosand is the sweetest, nicest professor ever. Her expectations are very straight foward. Super helpful, gives her students the freedom to chose what they want to write on. Also gives students the chance to succeed in her class! LOVE PROFESSOR COSAND!!!
gorgeous woman. super sweet to all of her students, treats all of them fairly like they were her own kids. lectures are very interesting, the stuff she makes us read in the textbook is also very interesting, i learned a few things about life just by taking this class. recommend this woman to ANYONE who is a student at GWC
I LOVE PROFESSOR COSAND! She is so helpful and very fun to have class with. There are a lot of assignments but they are fairly easy. She is so sweet and understanding. LOVE LOVE LOVED her class!!! Please take her.
Professor Cosand is one of the best English teachers on campus due to her unique ability to teach students and her management skills. If you are not lazy, then you will do fine. There are 3 essays where you can turn it in again to receive a higher grade,and she offers plenty of extra credit. Just keep up with the class...
Loved her! This class was like high school all over again. EASY A. Just have to do your journals, do well on your essays, show up. That's it. Definitely improved my writing after taking this course(:
Very sweet, friendly, and prompt in answering email inquiries of the students! She is a bit picky about having a certain amount of sentences for a complete paragraph, if not, she will mark your grade down.
Cosand is tough but fair, and really nice. Take her if you have decent writing skills and are willing to improve because she is very willing to help. 3 essays, 1 research paper, 3 in class essays and journals just about every week. If you don't have the time to write good essays, I suggest not taking her.
Professor Cosand is such a sweet woman. There is a lot of reading and journals every week, 3 out of class essays, and 2 in class essays, but she is very fair! Even gives students an opportunity to revise an essay and turn it in for a higher grade. Definitely would recommend her for anyone who needs to take an english course!
Had her for both 100 and 110, a really great teacher. Stay on top of the work and you will fly through this class. Class was enjoyable and engaging. Rarely are you bored.
Lot of work. Weakly journals and quizzes based on readings, weekly grammer hw, 3 inclass essays, and 4 total essays. One of the essays is a research paper 8-10 pages long. She is not a super hard grader. Do the work lazily and you will get a B. Do the work with effort and you will easily get an A. She is timid but hilarious, TAKE HER. (:
She is a really sweet teacher. She's informative and is really interested in what she teaches so that's beneficial. She grades fairly. Basically, she's a good teacher and you'll learn what you need to learn.
Integrity, funny, helpful, true educator and +. Give your 100% on HW + have answers to the text Q's at the end of reading. Use them for quizzes, all essays, final, and participation. You'll build a strong foundation to critical thinking and writing which will help you to do well in other courses that require any writing + in real life.
Keisha Cosand is an amazing teacher. If you want to improve your writing, get great advise on education, and laugh along the way TAKE THIS CLASS. The girl who sang on stage with Sting has inspired me to be a great student.
Taking Mrs. Cosands class is a must ! took her for both english 99 and 100 and my writing has improved. She's super sweet and actually cares about her students. Her work load is very consistent, journals and penguins every week which are both super easy. Easy A as long as you do the work !
Honestly, best way to start english in college! Best Professor I had all semester! She's super sweet and funny and VERY HELPFUL. As long as you do the work with effort, you'll get an A. Don't slack off and you'll do fine! TAKE HER! So bummed I can't take her for English 110! If I can I totally would! AND YOU SHOULD TOO!!
Probably the best professor i had all semester! Kept class very interesting and a joy to attend. She lays out a syllabus and adheres to it, keeping your schedule from getting chaotic. If she does veer from it, she will notify you in advance. She does give a lot of work, but none too hard. Assigns fun essay topics.
Professor Cosand is a jovial instructor. She adheres to the syllabus. You definitely will use the textbooks the whole semester. Weekly quizzes based off reading's assigned along weekly grammer assignments. 4 take home essays and 4 in class essays. Don't worry Professor Cosand will show you how to construct effective essays.
my second time taking her and what a treat it was! She still sticks to the syllabus, so you can schedule your life accordingly. Her selection of stories are fun and entertaining. Her essays are spread out so you have time to work on them. She bring a level of positive energy that is very contagious. You definitely need the text books. she is great
She is nice for help. She doesnt tell exactly what she wants on ur papers. To pass you need to put much effort on your essays if you are not sure about ur writing. Overall, her class is challenging.
Best English teacher ever. Super helpful, sticks to syllabus, offers up her own life experiences in her lectures, and makes class a safe place to speak your mind. She inspired to me to switch from Chem to English as my major. She's an inspiration and a role model. Absolutely love her.
Had her for english 100 & 110. I enjoy her teaching so much that I'm taking her class on Shakespeare next semester. She is an amazing professor, and she keeps class interesting. TAKE HER CLASS, you won't regret it!
I've been taking Keisha for 3 classes, 099, 100, 110. Not because of her hotness but she is a fair grader and helpful as well. I am not a good writer to be honest, my highest essay grade is only 82 but I still get an A in her classes cause I always do assignments she assigned. If you are not an effective writer like me, DO ALL THE WORK, you'll ok
She lets you use your journals on quizzes and tests! Professor Cosand grades fairly and offers extra credit opportunities on every quiz. You'll definitely learn a lot from her, but you're also going to have to trade some time for that A. Readings are fun, too. Overall, I highly recommend her.
I never liked literature in general but Keisha has great enthusiasm when it comes to literature and the readings. She is super helpful. She gives great feedback on essays and allows you to revise your final essays for a better grade. Overall, I have never had this great of an experience in an english class and cannot recommend her enough!
Best teacher i have ever encountered. extremely helpful. grades essays one class period before and gives them back and allows u to change her marks for the final paper. (pretty much gives you an A if you try). 50 points of extra credit allowed. quizs on readings every week but super simpleeasy 20 points and if u dont read she will still give u 10
Great professor. You 100 % need the textbook. She makes class interesting and doable. She gives great feedback on essays so your writing does get a lot stronger. She believes in having students group off and work together which is pretty fun. Let's you revise essays for up to one letter grade change!
Keisha is a great prof! You have to have the book in order to get through the class. No tests, but 3 in class essays and 3 out of class essays ; one being the final research paper. She's so kind and funny! If you're unsure who to take, take Keisha. She's the best!
Asesine professor, super fun and friendly.
Cosand is a great professor, she knows her material and is always there after class to answer any questions. Homework & quiz every week, but they are very easy, as long as you showed you did the reading then easy full credit. There were 3 in class essay and 3 take home essay, the last take home essay is a 10 page research paper. Passed with an A
Took her for English Freshmen Composition class and was fun and she was clear in her lectures. She grades kind of easy on her essays. On her final, if you would get an A in her class entire semester she would tell you that you will not have to take the final because you have proven that you know the material already. 1110 would take again
Keisha is the BEST teacher. You have hw every week but it is super simple, you have 2 outside essays, and 2 essays in class that are apart of the midterm and final. She is awesome, and if you go to her office hours she will help you with your essay, but you DO have to put in time. Easy class if you do all your hw and are diligent.
Professor Cosand super nice and helpful. I always look forward coming to her class. It is quite hard to fall asleep in her class. She creates a friendly environment for her classroom therefore I find it really comfortable to talk to other people when there are group discussions. Homework every week, a couple of essays but she is a fair grader!
Professor Cosand is an amazing professor. She is willing to help whenever you need her. She grades fairly. You will need your text-book for the whole semester because there are reading response essays every week. Also, there are three in-class essays. However, she allows you to drop the lowest grade. I learned a lot from her lectures. Never regret.
I was not confident going into English this semester, but after taking this class I feel strong as a writer (and adore Professor Cosand) She will help you with each of your essays during office hours. Take advantage of that! There is homework (just writing what you think about certain stories) She helped me get my first A in English. Take her!!
She is really helpful , and not a harsh grader. You can tell she really loves to help her students. This class does require a textbook but its only 10 dollars on amazon. There are weekly readings (easy) , 3 in class essays (the last one is optional) & 3 major papers. I really enjoyed this class she's a great teacher !
She is my favorite teacher at golden west. I loved the class discussions, it made class easier and more fun to attend. She takes time to make sure her students are doing well and always offers help. Her classes are definitely ones worth taking... You will not regret it.
Hands down my favorite professor I've ever had. I took her for English 100 and English 110 and wish I could take her again. I hate english and still loved her class. She genuinely cares about students and is an extremely fair grader. Put in the work and you will get an A! 9 homework writing assignments, 3 essays, 1 midterm, 1 final in class essay.
A big Thanks to my ESL 071 and Eng. 099 professors for their recommendations that I got the most amazing professor. Pro. Cosand is super sweet, caring, and understanding. She is always there for her students. She creates a friendly learning enviroment. Her lectures are interesting. She is a fair grader. I would absolutely take her class again.
Highly recommend Pro. Cosand to anyone who needs an english class. 9 easy hw assignments based on the reading in the textbook, 3 at-home essays which she offers so much time to prepare, and 2 in-class essays. If you do well on the two in-class essays, you will not have to do the final. Pro. Cosand grades really fairly. You won't regret taking hers.
Mrs. Cosand was a great instructor and very kind person, it's too bad she isn't teaching 110 this fall. The assignments and frequent group work center around current social issues. My only criticism is the vague, sprawling homework questions that end up longer than essays. Textbook articles are easily taken to task if you're not left-leaning ;)
Cosand was a good professor and she gives a lot of extra credit. you have to show up to pass and you have weekly online hw. there are two in class essays that are super easy and the final is optional and you can take it for extra credit.
She is so nice, and she will help you a lot in writing. If you want to improve your skill, she is the best. I took Eng099, textbooks are needed. There are 3 out of class essays and 4 in-class essays. You have to pass all 3 out of class essays and 2 in-class. She will give very detailed comments on each essay. It helps you a lot.
Mrs. Cosand is one of the best english teachers I've ever had! She really cares about her students and if you work hard- getting an A is easily doable. She's very inspiring and makes the class altogether enjoyable! Definitely take her for any english class you can
Professor cosand is the best English proffesor I have ever had. I wish she was teaching English 110. She is super nice and offers plenty of extra credit. All you have to do is show up and do the work.
Excellent teacher! She provides feedback in all the essay assignments, and she gives you a second chance to turn them in before they get a grade. Try no to skip her class, and do all your homework if you want to pass. She is funny and very respectful. No quizzes for her class, expect the final. I am taking her again for English 100.................
She is an amazing professor!!! However this class is not a walk in the park you must show up to class or you will be dropped if you miss more than 4 classes. She goes over all the paper prompts in class with you so it is clear for when you are at home. Lots of homework and papers. If you struggle in writing papers or english then Cosand is for you!
THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. Thoroughly teaches all curriculum making the work easy and enjoyable. If something was not understood she took the extra time to explain it. Provides just enough outside topic related stories to keep things entertaining. I would 100% recommend this class. It felt like a giant book club & many kids finished with A's
Such a warm, inviting, and intelligent professor. She really shines in her ability to lead discussions without letting them go off the rails. She knows SO much about literature and you walk away from class having learning and thinking more deeply than you thought you were capable of. Amazing reading list -- loved every piece in class! WONDERFUL!
a lot of work but youll learn a lot
The best English prof./teacher I've had yet. Very personable and really wants her students to pass. A few short stories to analyze and chapters from a reading book assigned before each class. Discussion posts based on what is read. Three essays based on the readings. Email her and she'll get back to you. TAKE HER CLASS!
By far the best English I have ever had. She is extremely caring. Her lectures are very interesting and material is very helpful. Be prepared to write essays and responses (for book reading). She is very flexible with her schedule for office hours and TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM FOR ESSAYS! Loved her class! You won't regret taking her class!
Ms. Cosand was actually the first prof to REALLY teach me how to write an essay. She is a tough grader but definitely gives good feedback and even lets you revise your final essay for a higher letter grade. Not only is she a great prof but a sweet person overall, she genuinely loves her students and helps so much! If you can, TAKE HER CLASS!
Prof. Cosand is really the BEST English professor out there. There is a lot of homework, so don't slack off. She's a tough grader, but if you put your time and a lot of effort, you'll easily pass the class. This was really the first time that I've received an A for English! If you take her class, you will really improve on your writing skills!
Professor Cosand clearly loves literature and she does a good job motivating her students to put forth effort. There is homework due each work, readings and discussions based on the readings. Her grading is clear and she gives great feedback.
I recommend choosing other better professors than her for sure. A lot of homework as well, good luck.
If you see any negative comments about professor Cosand, most likely is because they were not paying attention and failed. She is very organized, so definitely the weekly modules are easy to read and follow. There is a lot of reading and writing, so if you are looking to improve on your reading and writing, you definitely need to take her class.
She is AMAZING!!!!! Take her class
Professor Cosand is genuinely the best and most motivating English teacher I have ever had! She is super understanding when things come up and never fails to come to class with a fantastic attitude. Also, her grading system is based on how a student has progressed in their writing throughout the course instead of the final writing level.
Cosand may be a good teacher, but I would not know as I spent most of my time tiptoeing around her to get the grade I wanted. She is a merciless grader and seems to often go against her own criteria and comments in your assignments. Follow the criteria and do a little bit more and you will get an A. The class is more about posturing than growth.
She makes you go about reading novels in awesome and no time consuming. She gives very good feedback and makes group work very interesting and fun. She is an amazing English professor. She is fair.
Professor Cosand is extremely insightful and kind. She is always understanding and tries her best to support her students. Her class was really enjoyable, and I appreciate how she was able to help me improve my writing. The entire class bonded with one another, and it felt like a super comfy safe zone to share and discuss our writing together!
Cosand cares a lot about her students and wants you to succeed. She makes exceptions for students who are struggling but she'll notice if you take advantage of that or act like her class doesn't matter. Be ready to write and respond to others' writing and you'll do great. Writing isn't easy, but you can't be a writer if you don't write. So just...
Professor Cosand is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is extremely understanding, truly cares about her students, and always provides support for her students to succeed. We had many laughs over the dating column I wrote as my final paper and overall is an amazing person and an inspiring woman. I wish I could take her class again.
Professor Cosand was an amazing professor. There were many assignments, but they genuinely helped the understanding of the material, and progression of the course. I Would definitely recommend her courses.
Prof. Cosand is super nice, sweet and helpful. She listened to your opinions/advice and would do her best to accommodate your success. Get ready to read and write, obviously, analyzing short stories and poems. Yet she is very fair and generous in grading. As long as you follow her guidance, you surely get A.
Don't take her if you aren't majoring in English. One reading assignment weekly + multiple questions and other assignments. She makes we write 2 essays (in-class & at home). Participation matters, but her attendance policy is if you are out 3+ days, you are out. She drops the lowest essay. Other classes only have below 30 assignments, hers double.
Professor Cosand is very passionate about the content she's teaching, which engaged me as a student. We read "The Handmaid's Tale" and it was fun read. It was a hybrid class so there was class once per week. The homework assignments were the end of me though, 1 discussion and literary analysis a week. There was extra credit + 2 in person essays.
I had taken a class with Professor Cosand before this class, which encouraged me to take her class again. She has a great selection of readings and a novel, which makes the class interesting. She's very helpful and truly cares for her students' success. Assignments are easy, and she offers many opportunities for extra credit.
