Professor Cubberly takes a different approach when it comes to teaching history, and its reflected in the assignments you complete for this course.

I would not recommend taking any classes with Professor Cubberly. She's an unclear teacher; repeatedly told us we had "no homework" when we, in fact, did; and makes her opinion on religion clear - religious people are boring and their beliefs are there to be ridiculed. I really regret taking this class, and I wish I picked a different professor.

Mrs.Cubberly made it seem like her connection exams (writing) were easier than an actual MCQ test. Do not fall for it!! She grades so hard and is very unclear on why you got the grade you got. I would not recommend taking this course if you want your grade to be below 70. Her teaching style is mainly lectures and class assignments.

Prof. Cubberly's lectures & textbook are interesting, but she uses grading as a cudgel, which distracts from the subject matter. The threat of failure looms even if you follow the rubrics and apply all feedback. This breaks trust, making the experience degrading & frustrating. Collin College, take note: Educators should be more principled.

This professor is unreasonable. It's borderline impossible to pass any of the 'connection' exams in 1301. She is an extremely tough grader, and no matter how good you do, she will find a way to deduct your grade significantly. Even if you do all the extra credit she provides, it'll maybe bring your grade up half a point. Collin should take action.

At the start she warned us that the assignments would be lengthy, but failed to mention how harshly she was going to grade us. She said that she hates Prof. that purposely fail their students, but that is what she does. I was sad because she made the content she was teaching seem interesting but her harsh grading made me lack interest in her class.

This professor has a very elaborating styling of teaching. She can teach but she's not personable at all. I think what was most confusing was her ability to discuss grades. She will pre-approve of your work before you turn it in but when she grades it she will un-approve it. She LOVES to fail people, her passing rate wasn't even 50% for my class.

She has great lectures that are intriguing and draw you in. Honestly she is probable one of the best lecturers I have ever had. She is an extremely tough and unfair grader. Has a very narrow point of view on what is correct and incorrect. Small mistakes are very costly to your grade. Only thing that saved mine was massive amounts of extra credit.

She'll grade super strictly and won't tell you what doing wrong. Even if you follow the advice she gives you, and her rubric; she'll still most likely fail you. Only reason I did good was because I had to take so much time out of my weeks to do many many extra credit assignments.

Professor Cubberly is a horrible teacher. Her writing assignments are very weird and unlike any history class I've taken before. She gives no directions or guidelines on how to write and then grades extremely harshly while giving no feedback except to look back at the guidelines. I don't understand how she made a history class this complicated

I took her summer class to get credit and to hopefully it being an easy course to knock out. It wasn't. She grades VERY picky and never gave me feedback to help my grade. Only reason I got an A was because I did extra credit and put hard work into it. She is hard and isn't reasonable in her grading. Other than that not a bad class.

We had these connection exams that she graded extremely hard! I don't know anybody in my class who got higher than an 80. I've taken 12 AP classes and this was my hardest class. Also in the last week of the semester she made 6 assignments due that all took at least 2 hours to complete. Only thing that saved my grade was ec. Don't take this class!

Professor Cubberly is a tough grader who focuses more on writing than history. While her lectures are interesting, her unclear guidelines and harsh feedback make this class frustratingly difficult. unstuckstudy could help with prep.

It was a terribly ran class with a teacher who was extremely biased and passive aggressive in her grading, and unclear directions the only saving grace is the mountain of extra credit most students could barely get above a 50 on her connection exams. Do not take this professor if you don't wanna feel like you're constantly being talked down to

She is a terrible grader and does not give any help on assignments. She mentioned how lengthy things would be, but made it known before we started the course that she hates professors who intentionally fail their students, and she is one of those professors. There is a lot of extra credit, but it's outside of class and during your class time.

Yeah get ready to do an assignment on Thursday with a due date of Friday on canvas but since there was actually a little box in modules that said it was due on Wednesday, it's late. Also get ready to have an assignment due at 11:55 AM, not PM. So if you wake up the day it's due and think you have the whole day to work on it, try 3-4 hours pal.
