I had no interest in journalism prior to this class. But this class makes me interested. Prof. Cohen makes each class interesting and a discussion. She encourages you and doesn't penalize you for having a different opinion. I appreciate the fact she stays way after class to help students when we need it. Highly recommended. Very highly.
She is so hopeful! You can tell she wants you to learn and get a good grade. The subject can be complicated, but she uses engaging examples. Class isn't boring; it's a discussion. Best part: she doesn't give a lot of homework. You will know what is expected in homework and for final. Also, the HW is assigned a week in advance. Take this class!
Great professor, she is always willing to help and give resources that makes the material easier! The lectures are also really engaging and interesting. I got an A in this class. I highly recommend this professor.
She's so nice and down to earth. Take this class! It's not the most interesting class in the world if you're not going into journalism, but it knocks off a requirement and she does her best to make sure you learn
This class is deceptively easy. If you pay attention, you will be good with your grade. The final was fair. She has open-ended questions, short answers and multiple choice. But you really have to pay attention during lectures or it'll be hard for you. She will help you with your writing. Oh and she brought us candy to class many times. Really nice!
Such a cool professor! Go to class, pay attention and you will do well. She works in the media and really knows what she is talking about, and gives some real advice to aspiring journalists. Also has guests. 5 out of 5.
Go to class and pay attention. I plan on going into media so this class was a real benefit. Professor Cohen spent time talking about the journalism industry and giving concrete resume tips. She had guests for us too. She works at the Orange County Register and has done a lot of broadcast production work, so she knows what she is talking about.
Professor Cohen's class is really fun. She is more than fair with you, but wants you to speak up in class. If you go to class, turn in your work and participate, you will do well. Take this class.
I took her class last semester and still go see her during office hours to ask her advice. She is one of the most helpful people I've ever met. Listen, go to class and ask for her help. Very funny, really cares and just plain nice.
She is an absolute gem! I want to be a journalist because of her class. She truly cares about her students. It's great having someone young who's both teaching & working in the field on the side, (she works for the Orange County Register) as it makes her much more credible in comparison to other instructors. You'd be a fool not to take her class.
Professor Cohen made a subject I wasn't so crazy about really fun and gave me reason to love it. Her class is fun and informative given that you show up and actually do your work. She cares about her students more than any professors I've had. She helps her students succeed no matter what. She's a sweetheart!
Professor Cohen is fantastic. The class is straightforward. I'm not going into journalism, but took it for credit. Just show up, do your best on assignments, and you will do fine. Attendance is a big deal though. She's pretty and funny.
She's really sweet! As long as you show up, participate and do your work, it shouldn't be hard to get an A. She works in the field in addition to teaching so obviously she's the best bet to go towards if you want to go into journalism. Treats her students really well, has a great sense of humor, and she's pretty hot. Definitely recommend this class
She was really more than fair. I took too many classes this semester and don't want to go into journalism, so this class was not my priority. I thought I was going to get a C, but I ended up with a B. One of the nicest people at Glendale. She also submitted our grades within two days of us taking the final.
Take her if you plan on going into journalism, she works in the field and provides a lot of really insightful information. She makes the class really engaging and fun. Best professor!
I took her class in the Spring. It is one of the best classes I have taken at the CSU or community system. She actually gives you a real sense of an industry that changing. She is so nice, but also wants you to work and cares. And she bought us giant muffins and cookies the day of final. Loved her.
She is an excellent professor, very professional and thorough. It can be tough to focus on the learning when her and her gorgeous face is lecturing me. #WCW
Really liked her. She tries to make sure everyone understands and stays extra to help you with resumes and career tips. She's really funny, but professional. My WomanCrushWednesday, too.
Rory is one of the sweetest professors. She cares about the subject matter and wants you to learn, genuinely caring about students. This class would probably interest communications or journalism majors more than others. She cares about participation though, so make sure you speak up.
This is a good class for general ed even if you don't want to go into journalism or the communications industry. Prof. Cohen is so great and cares about the subject matter. What I like is that she tries to bring the discussions back to the field rather than making it about the textbook or busy work. Very professional but also really kind and nice.
Never had a professor who cares more. She is the best.
Professor Cohen is really sweet and actually cares about her students. Definitely loved her class and would take it again if I could! She is one of the few journalism professors who both teaches Journalism and works in the field.
She's a good teacher. I wish she would've taken us on a field trip to the OC Register or more real journalism "hands on" learning that would be exciting. Lectures are good. It wasn't the most interesting presentation though. Maybe more guest speakers?
Great professor. Gives you assignments well in advance and time to complete. Many students in the class had little interest in journalism and that is a shame. Brings students muffins and other stuff all semester. Also emailed us all our grades two days after final. Would take again for sure.
Prof. Cohen is a super chill professor. She's young, which is refreshing because she can relate to us as students. She's understanding and very helpful and approachable. Would take this class again in a heartbeat!
i loved loved loved this class!! Shes so amazing and one of the best proffesors i have ever had! easy and understanding. She is so passionate about her teachings and is very clear.
One of the best instructors I've ever taken. Professional, approachable and wants you to learn. Really so helpful and cares about students. Oh and she does bring her classes food which is awesome.
Professor Cohen is wonderful. She really cares about you and your career. Will help you in any way she can--as a student, a writer, or journalist. Plus she's very fair and LOVES her subject. And she's gorgeous and young too! Thanks for everything, Professor!
Prof. Cohen is the BEST instructor I had at GCC. Really cares that you learn & helps you improve your writing. She used games to teach us for exams. That helps a lot. Besides the book work, she also stresses real life and getting a job. We had several guest speakers (like 5 or 6) and even a pizza party. A bonus: She's very, very easy on the eyes.
Prof. Cohen is one of the best teachers I've had at GCC, no doubt. She's always there if you need her via email, text or phone. She has a few guest speakers during the semesters, just so you can get an insight about the real life out there and not just reading the books. I would take this class again in a heartbeat because of her.
I love this professor and have taken classes with her twice. You need to pay attention to what's going on in journalism and participate to do well. Yet at the same time you have to actively try to fail the class to not do well because she will push you to produce better work and will stop to make sure you understand. She's my #WomanCrushWednesday.
Prof. Cohen is the most inspirational professor I've ever had. She will go out of her way to help you succeed. You can tell how much she cares about you. There aren't professors like her. She's the kind of person you aspire to be like in your career. And yes, it's been stated already ... she's very beautiful. Hard not to crush on this professor.
Professor Cohen is one of the best and most professional instructors I have had. She treats her students extremely respectfully and makes sure that she is available to mentor you, when needed. Her well balanced lectures are always interesting and includes everything from workshops to guest speakers. I would recommend anyone to take her class!
Great teacher! She's nice, funny, and has a lot of interesting things to say. She's really down to Earth and loves her students. Just show up to class and participate, it's that simple. Her lectures are fun, too. She brings up current events that are applicable to the lecture and she lets her students chime in. Rory bakes and she's good looking!
Prof. Cohen is the most accessible professor ever! She responded to my questions via text within moments and would make herself available for phone calls. Her lectures help to make the book more understandable and go beyond it. Oh, and she helped me land an internship. I have a degree from a 4-year university and found more value in her class.
She is very reasonable and will work with you. I had a very rough time this semester with personal issues and she kept me going. She cares so much about her students. My only complaint is that we were put in a bungalow room that was gross with paper thin walls, but that's out of her control. Take her. She will inspire you and build you up.
Rory cares about her students and her subjects. She expects you to try your best. She is hands down one of the best professors I've had and the best in her discipline. Love her.
Its a news production class so you have to work here. She will help but if you arent a writer, you need to ask for help. She is in her office a lot and ready to assist with writing, career tips, and more. Shes no nonsense though in 103, since the paper needs to get out. Had her for 107 too and it was easier, but to be expected based on needs.
You have to be the laziest person with no intellectual curiosity to fail any of Rory's classes. If you're a vegetable, take something else! It's not an easy-A, but an A can happen if you turn in your work, participate, and ask for help to rewrite. The quizzes are straightforward and she tells you what to study. Couldn't be more clear. She's lovely.
I took Journalism 102 and loved her class. Professor Cohen is always there to help you and is so open minded. I've learned a lot from her and the class. She gives great feedback and is always willing to make her schedule available to help you . One of the best classes I've taken at GCC. Highly Recommend!
Cohen is probably the hottest teacher Iv ever had! ;) she cares for all her students and its very hard to do bad in her class; if you get anything worse than C in her class ,just drop out of college. Not too much work and a short essay due at the end of the semester. Id take more classes with her just to see her pretty face.
Professor Cohen is the BEST journalism instructor/adviser. She wants the best in you to shine with every article, and there every step of the way when producing the paper. Joining the paper was the best decision you get because you get once in a lifetime opportunities, make your writing stronger, and don't have to be a journalism major. She rocks!
Rory is an amazing professor, friend and mentor. Always willing to work with you, listen to you. Such and inspiring human, and truly wants you to succeed, which shows through her caring attitude. She also always provides the best tools and resources for students. She's like superwoman; smart, witty, friendly, and is doing 100 things at once.
I LOVE PROFESSOR COHEN. SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! NOT ONLY IS SHE NICE, AND BEAUTIFUL BUT SHE IS SO INSPIRING. I LOVE HER LECTURES AND HAVE NEVER MISSED CLASS BECAUSE I LOVE BEING A PART OF HER CLASS. SHE MAKES ME WANT TO WORK HARD AND BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS HER! SHE IS MY INSPIRATION. I LOVE HER
Professor Cohen is possibly the kindest person I have ever known. She emphasizes ethics and humanity above all else in journalism. She is so funny, too. Beautiful as can be. She is the BEST. You are lucky if you have her, and Glendale College is lucky she is now the full-time journalism professor. She has turned the program around for better!!!
Honestly, I could write a 2000 word essay about how amazing Rory is, but I'll leave you guys with the fact that she is THE. BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER.
She is so clear and helpful. I was panicking this semester and she counseled me. Professor Cohen believes in you and loves what she does. A three hour class goes by so fast because of her positive energy. For real, she is my #WomanCrushWednesday! She is one of the best instructors I have ever had. Its not that shes is easy. She is clear!
More tags: Inspirational. Amazing lectures. Caring. Accessible outside class.
Rory is the best professor I have ever had. She is organized and you will never feel confused in any of her classes. She always keep it interesting and will always help you out and motivate you to do your best.
Rory encourages you and cares. You may have a bad day or breakdown, and she will listen to your concerns. She's a teacher, a counselor, a friend and a mentor. If you get her, you are lucky. I never had any other instructor like her because she is a gem. She is a beautiful human and like Wonder Woman. As a woman, I want to be like her.
It may sound cheesy but it is true ... Professor Cohen is by far the best instructor I have ever had. She will inspire you, coach you, and mentor you. I LOVE HER!
She is not "easy" as an instructor but she challenges and motivates you so it feels easier than it is. She is a great instructor. I love Professor Cohen and will take more classes with her. She is by far the best instructor I had. Clarity helps. No games and helps you understand what to study. Also she is beautiful and so funny!
Professor Cohen is truly one in a million. She is the best instructor I have ever had. Thank you for everything and for believing in me! FYI ... 103 and 104 don't have a book because it's a newspaper design class.
Professor Cohen is my favorite teacher and Ive been to three colleges and she is just amazing. She is determine to help you to get a good grade if you want it. A great person/mentor overall. Plus she has some pretty good jokes. If I can take her class every semester I would.
I find school really difficult because of my background and it is rare (actually impossible) to find an instructor to motivate and inspire me. But Professor Cohen is that impossible to find instructor. She is one of a kind. She makes you believe in yourself, but wants you to put in the work. I really love her.
This professor will change your life if you let her. She is relatable and someone you want to model yourself after. Very passionate and knowledgable about the subjects she teaches. She has also been very successful in her field at a young age and has lots of experience she draws from. I am taking three more of her classes before I transfer.
The BEST instructor I ever had. I LOVE HER! You learn from her. And she is so inspiring and awesome!
Professor Cohen is beautiful inside and out. Hottest professor ever. I dont want to leave. As people pointed out, she will change your life for the better. She inspires critical thinking. Shes not a political hack. Ask for writing feedback and go to office hours to plan out your career.
Professor Cohen loves her students and shows it. She wants you to do well and will push you to do your best. Thats what makes her the BEST. The j-program is like a hidden gem. I learned so much from her. Love our beautiful journalism professor!
Journalism 103 gave us the chance to get an understanding of how to produce a newspaper on deadline. Prof. Cohen is an amazing instructor and advisor. We got to learn skills that will work across majors and the environment is really chill. Rory is the best mentor ever. Can we all just admit she's the best?
LOVE HER! My favorite professor in all of GCC!
I love Rory so much. In Journalism 210, we don't have to buy a book because she creates readings for us. Her lectures go beyond the news and make you think about deep issues affecting the world. She wants you to become a critical thinker. Also, she is gorgeous!
She spent hours with me to go over my writing. To say Professor Cohen is amazing is an understatement. Shes so genuine. I LOVE her. #WOmanCrushWednesday
I love Professor Cohen! Easily the most accessible professor in all of GCC! Class is straightforward. She tells you what to study for the final, too. Show up, listen, and you'll do well. Lots of great insights on current events and how to cover. Great professor! Hottie too!
Ms. Reut Rory Cohen is a professor worth learning from,her degree tells how much she worked for it. This women will give you a lecture in class to make you dig deeper, and to expand your thought with scenarios she gives as examples. She is a exquisite women, with a passion for teaching. Try to prove me wrong , I dare you. Professor Cohen is amazing
Reut is an incredible professor. ANYONE would be lucky to have her help be a part of their college experience. I wish EVERY single one of my professors was hands-on, dedicated, and as kind as her.
Professor Cohen is the true gem of Glendale Community College. Seriously. I have never met someone who is so inspiring not only in their field but also in the classroom before. She makes sure you understand how to write, rather than saying what you're doing wrong without any guidance. Love her!!
Out of all the professors Ive had so far she has got to be the best one! Shes passionate about Journalism and she also is very helpful and in all honestly with all the help she gives it would take a miracle for someone to fail this class! In fact taking this class helped me decide that journalism was what I actually want to do for a career
Professor Cohen has restored my faith in the fact that GCC can actually have good professors. She is so hands-on and her lectures go beyond just what's on the paper. She makes sure you can stand alone and be multifunctional in your field, rather than just have one specialty. She truly is one of the best.
Rory Cohen is one of the most influential teachers that I've ever had. She's one that brings out the positivity in all of us and understands are full potential. Since I've took this class, I've challenged and pushed myself to succeed with her help and become a valuable person thanks to her. She's a teacher that cares and I'm happy I join her class.
Rory is a gem. I have never met anyone who will spend their personal time, even sometimes the time theyre supposed to have for lunch, to take care of students. Shes not just your professor, shes also your friend and mentor. Do yourself a favor and take her class. ��
350 characters isnt enough to explain how phenomenal Rory truly is. From day one, she is always putting her students first and TRULY cares like no other professor. She is one of a kind with a heart of gold! She taught me so much with writing/editing and really directed me as a student to reach my highest potential. GCCs best.
i love professor Cohen ! if you dont take her class you are missing out ! she is the best.
Rory Cohen by far is the best professor I had at Glendale Community College. She has firm pedagogical values; she deeply cares about her students and makes sure that they fully understand the material both from theoretical and practical sides. She is very understanding and kind, but hard work is always generously rewarded. Everyone should take it!
Shes nice but class is boring
Professor Cohen, is the most down to earth professor you will come across. Regardless of the course subject, she challenges you to think critically and pushes for your highest potential. Will truly miss being apart of her class!
Professor Cohen was amazing! She is so caring and wants to help her students succeed. Throughout the semester we took many quizzes, had some homework, two field trips, a final paper and the final. She made sure everything was clear cut and did the most to help along the way. Definitely take her!
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Cohen! She is seriously my favorite teacher at GCC! She is so caring about her students and really devotes her time to ensure students understand the material and succeed in class. She is very passionate about journalism and creates such a fun and exciting environment for students. She is a true inspiration and I admire her!
Dr. Cohen is absolutely the BEST professor in journalism that I have ever had. She truly creates such an amazing experience for students and prepares you for the world in journalism.
Dr. Cohen is amazing! She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Her lectures are engaging and interesting. There's no busy work, all assignments help understand the course material better. All of her journalism classes are definitely worth taking. She definitely prepares students in 103 and 104 for real life experience.
This teacher took over my class last minute and did a very good job. She had a lot of quizzes, one project and a final exam. There was an average amount of reading and the teacher was willing to review my project before I submitted it for a grade. Overall, if you do the work, you should get a good grade.
Professor Cohen is one of, if not THE best professor I have had the privilege to learn under. She is quite possibly the only professor to have made me felt wanting more lectures and to spend more time in class. Her kindness and patience are infinite and unending. She is a wonderful professor and more professors should strive to be like her.
Incredible professor. Not only extremely knowledgeable, but passionate about the subject in a way that's not overbearing. She wants you to make the best articles you can, but also to learn what being a journalist -means-. Taking her editing class next semester, can't recommend enough :)
Quite possibly the easiest 3 unit class I've taken. Quizzes every few weeks (3-4 weeks) but the answers are usually given in the textbook, making it easy for you get a 100% on all of them. In total there are 4 quizzes, a final exam (40 q's) and a final project! That's it! It might sound intimidating but it's not bad at all.
