Confrontational when asking her questions. Study material is the book, which is poorly written. No added value to the book. Knit picky when it comes to test questions (answers have to be word for word, no mis-spellings, or considered wrong). On average it takes three hours to complete homework. Summary: Useless! Avoid this instructor at all costs

Incredibly rude. Does not answer emails or grade assignments in a timely fashion. The only class I've taken where you have to go somewhere other than the testing center for exams. Unclear course schedule and syllabus to say the least. Just an all around unpleasant experience. Avoid this teacher at all costs.

Teacher was very rude and difficult to get a hold of. Did not respond to emails or phone calls. Finally responded to me she was rude and condescending. Screamed at me on the phone and just repeated her answers instead of listening to my questions. Ridiculously hard test. Asked number questions instead of true content. DO NOT USE THIS PROFESSOR!

Everything she says is covered in layers of sass and sarcasm. God forbid you don't understand the material or have to have something clarified. If you are brave enough to ask here, she usually just sucks her teeth, rolls her eyes, and repeats the last thing she said, which may or may not have anything to do with your question. Avoid at all costs.

I took this class online which was a huge waste of money. I am an extremely applied student and this class made me feel hopeless and discouraged. Whenever I emailed the professor she sounded very pretentious. Unless you are really intelligent and committed don't take this class with her or online. The time I was in this class I was so stressed out

Really sarcastic and loves to help as less as she can... almost like she is evading the questions or not answering the question and isn't making you confident in the class , but her "help" isn't making it easier to learn material..

Here's the deal. She is really smart and knows her stuff but you will get the urge to snap at her for making you feel stupid. You grow with anger but since she controls your grade you hold back and rather stay quiet. Take someone else If you like to go to class. I got a B and only showed up for the exams. homework is online and stupid but easy.

I feel like the people giving her good ratings, is the professor herself trying to write herself a positive review. This class is still the only class and only person I took that I had to drop. Not because I was failing, because she is so unbearable, unapproachable, and unpleasant, that I could no longer physically be in the same room as her.

All the negative things said about this woman are true. How she has a job as an educator is beyond me, get ready to be treated as a less than when speaking to her. When she goes over the syllabus on the first day that is her out to act like an ass the rest of the semester. Sad to know my money was wasted in this garbage, learned absolutely nothing

Professor Carson is a terrible teacher. Im surprised she hasnt been fired by now. She is mean, sarcastic, and changes attitude as soon as you ask a question. This makes it especially hard to learn this already difficult material. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. You'll come out feeling lesser of yourself, and as a teacher she should not make u feel that way

I strongly suggest you to not take her even it's the last choice. You will learn nothing from her and hate programming. Attitude. everything said was true except worse; Teaching. Uses PowerPoint/hand writes notes (beyond laughable) to teach instead of typing codes with good examples; Confusing syllabus, deadlines and blackboard in general.

By far one of the most unprofessional instructors I've ever had, and I've been to 4 universities. She is rude, and belittles you. She is not helpful what so ever. She will let you sit there the entire class period, working on a program, and not help you at all. Totally lost. You're better off reading a textbook or watching YouTube.

Blackboard assignments are a mess. You don't really know where things are located at, there are some assignments and exams in MYITLab and some on blackboard. She has the due dates in different sections for different assignments. Blackboard could definitely be simpler so people can understand. Really difficult to work with, she has an attitude.

Doesn't work with you at all.

Most drop class tbh. IF you don't read good luck! No test outlines are provided. Be ready to for anything. If you don't know how those access/excel/PowerPoint/word good luck b/c that's your only hope. For group projects she grades fairly but be careful b/c most drop & u do more work. Extra credit is offered. Looks easy at first but its not.

Took the online version of the COSC1336 course. No help, no support. Feedback on exams was minimal and not at all helpful. Feedback was also late, so there was also little to no time to review and improve in areas that you needed for the following exam. Passed the course, but grade should have been higher. I would not recommend this instructor.

Took her online course, she was not helpful at all. Any questions I had, she just said to go to the syllabus. I would not take a class by her again

DON'T TAKE CARSON! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING YOURSELF INTO! She doesn't: answer questions, give good feedback, clarify ambiguous test/lab prompts. I worked my butt off and got 3 A's that semester but got a C from her. She even deducted points for correct answers and refused to correct my grade! HARD WORK WONT SAVE YOU HERE! RUN! PLEASE!

Testing if this will work. I submitted one earlier

Such a terrible person, read the reviews. I talked to my advisor about reporting her and apparently you cant. Make yourself a favor and DO NOT take her class. Awful professor. Shes very paranoid about the internet for someone that teaches a internet presence class, theres something about her thats not right

i informed my professors that id caught covid 19 (which, i did), and most responded telling me to rest for a few days and get back to it. professor carson told me it was mandatory to turn everything in on time, so i got 0s in her class while battling covid. dont recommend.

She has a set method on how she teaches. If you don't understand something or if you ask a question it will not be answered. The test are so poorly designed that even if you know all the material you can still end up with a bad grade. She will take points off and not give you feedback, even on test. Do NOT take unless you already know how to code.

Terrible, ask a question and she'll look you up and down like youre below her, never really answers your questions, if you knew what you were doing she'd pay more attention to you than if you didn't. Bipolar when it came to class time sometimes she'd be great other times it was like we were bothering her, STAY WELL CLEAR UNLESS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE

I regret choosing this class to learn computer programming

Do not take this class. Professor Carson is very knowledgeable but she is not cut out to be a teacher. She has a way of making her students feel less than she, and she is not supportive at all. There is so much homework it's absurd! There is no flexibility, gentleness, or support. She is clearly in the wrong profession and shouldn't be an educator.

Mrs. Carson is absolutely awful when it comes to teaching she has no clue how to response helpfully to her students, but instead refers them back to the syllabus. Her test are far from her homework assignments and it seems as though she expects you to understand coding before entering into this class.

I don't like this instructor and don't take with her because she was very awful. I advise for student no take with her and she doesn't help anyone.

This teacher is often wrong, and is a pernicious grader. They obfuscate directions, get confused, or make communication mistakes often. Tests were miskeyed (like a question which said to answer in mm/dd/yyyy format, but was actually keyed in mmddyy format.) and they refused to fixt it. The full course was "cengage" e-book and source material. Bad.

Everything is re-read in the syllabus. NOT all answers are on the syllabus! the layout of the schedule was great but there was so much homework and lectures were mostly videos and I was so lost after half of the time lectures would just her hating the internet and going off random tangent of something she read on the internet.

know that professor carson has NO regard to taking a course online and the tech issues that occur. The professor has no remorse and will not let you fix anything on turned in assignments will not let you to retake or submit an exam even if you have more attempts and submitted the second attempt in the amount of time allotted

Very rude. Slow to respond to emails. Doesn't make self available outside of 2 hours listed on the syllabus. Highly recommended not to take !! NO remorse or understanding at all! Wish I would have checked rate my professor before registering, but you can only get what you get these days. I hope I get better professor next semester.

This was the worst experience I have had, and I graduated with honors on distance learning for my associates degree. This professor seems to be out for sabotage BEWARE !

Oh where to start. She is an awful professor, Syllabus? unnecessarily complicated. Tone? rude& condescending. Course? Unorganized and all over the place. She mixed up dates for work and causes ppl to get 0 credit. Takes days to respond to emails. Her bb announcements sound like she has beef with students. Need COSC-1301? Get somebody else to do it.

Currently in this class. I can confidently say she's one of the rudest and most disrespectful educators I've ever had in my academic career. There's a reason why she doesn't have good reviews. I rarely complain and usually deal with quality teachers as it is a community college. But this is the first negative review of a professor for a reason.

I felt like my time was wasted with Youtube videos and inane, irrelevant, (sometimes rhetorical) questions. Teaching methodology seems to consist of reading straight from Power Point with anecdotal fluff. All the grading for the course is through McGraw-Hill programs, very little actual effort and enthusiasm from the professor.

Easy class but what's with her attitude?. She is extremely condescending and doesn't seem to even care about the respecting students.

There were students answering a question and I could tell they knew what they were talking about, they just were not starting where she wanted. SO instead of stating they were on the right track, she said "Nope, next." This is the number one reason why nobody responds to her. She seems to shame students for not being 100% knowledgeable. .

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!! This was a summer course, with over 270 assignments. Believe every review. She should not be an educator. She lacks the basic communication skills that are expected of a college professor. Teaching is not her calling. It's giving - I'm miserable let's make everybody miserable. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Not a very understandable teacher/person. Did not appreciate when we were taking notes during class. Wanted all attention. Kicked multiple students off zoom who said they were trying to take notes. Made students feel dumb even when they were on the right track. Was chit chatting with the people who knew about IT already and belittled others.

Worst professor in ACC. Beware, avoid at all cost.

The most hostile professor I've ever encountered. Never communicated with the professor directly, but class wide announcements were unnecessarily condescending and aggressive. Believe what everyone else is saying and avoid this professor.

This was my first time dropping a class, this teacher has other problems going on in her life. She is rude and always has a bad attitude like the world owes her something. She only listens to what she wants to hear and doesn't care if you pass or fail. Beware she will expect you to know everything by week 2, find a better professor who cares.

This professor doesn't have good reviews for a reason, I advise you to find another professor for programming. Expects you to know everything the first day you walk into class and has a problem answering questions. Very rude and not very helpful when asking important question about assignments or grade. Do not take her class if you are new to prog.

She's the type of person who makes others feel badly when they don't know an answer. Therfore, no one asks questions. She had me come to her office because I insulted her by saying I didn't want to hear her tell me the same thing if she wasn't going to explain it. I think she wanted me to apologize.Nope. I bailed before she could ruin my gpa.
