This prof gives minimal feedback on assignments, takes a while to respond to your emails (if at all),the lectures consist of her reading off the power point slides, lots of group and in class work, I am going to avoid taking any classes of hers in the future.

Minimal to no feedback on assignments. Doesn't give rubrics to guide assignments . Doesn't use the $300 textbook at all after most of us bought it. When asking about grades she gives little info to the point where it seems she chooses a letter grade for you first and then assigns a percentage based on that rather than calculating an actual grade.

This teacher is terrible. I still have no idea how she marks with out a detailed rubric. What exactly is her though process? No way to improve marks because she doesn't give feedback. Is difficult to speak to, picks favorites and attacks students unprofessionally if she doesn't agree with them. Her email responses are dry if she replies at all.

There's 3 big tests, each one marked by a diff TA, so the marking style is completely diff for all 3. Majority of class did well on 1st test, then failed 2nd one. Prof and TA were both super disrespectful on D2L, saying they won't take remark anyone's 2nd test (which isn't allowed lol). Also prof makes crazy spelling and grammatical errors on tests

The semester is almost over and she has posted a total of only TWO powerpoints. This is an online class so I would expect that theres some form of lecture available, but there isnt. You basically learn on your own from the assigned readings. The weekly discussions also have inconsistent submission time frames. Learned nothing.

Confused by these bad ratings. She's an engaging, caring, woke ass prof. I rarely attended bc they were early morning, but still did well on the tests (but got notes from a friend). Got the textbook but never used it. Not the most organized but a real gem who cares about the topics!! 3 online tests (2.5hrs), 1 Reflection paper (6-7pgs) - 25 %each

I really liked this prof. But when classes moved online bc of covid19, she did less than bare minimum. She did not post slides for our final lecture and told us "make your own notes from the textbook on ch.12 for the exam" which is ridiculous. It's so not ok to leave students hanging like that; you're an educator. Educate! Not a good online prof

I really enjoyed how this professor taught early in the course but, when classes switched to an online format, she posted one PowerPoint and essentially left the rest up to us! With the claims of being really accessible for students, I feel she makes it difficult to access the right information to pass the course. It's upsetting, honestly.

Avoid Treisha. I've taken 3 classes over the years did well in the 1st but she's proven she's a trash professor. She lacks organizational skills & email etiquette. Doesn't provide marking schemes/detailed error free rubrics then deducts marks with little to no explanation. She wants moderate class averages to show her classes her hard, they're not

I have never done so bad in a class in university. I know the work I handed in was worthy of a way better grade, yet it was hard to get above a 70 in her class. On top of being a "though grader" she provides ZERO feedback. She gave instructions of an assignment 3 days before the due date and basically f'd my group over because of her incompetence.

There's a big gap of course material missing which she said she would post after one class/ guest speaker was cancelled. While she is at times flexible with due dates and gave more time for students to work on their group assignments, it's a bit frustrating to not get feedback so students know how they can improve in the future.

Treisha Hylton is an admirable and one of the most realist professors you'll get within the CYC field. I found her lectures admirable and worth listening to where she talks about real topics and doesn't give unnecessary textbook notes other than her experience. Tough grader that provides no feedback, and grade changed with no context either.

At first, she seemed like a really cool prof, but as the term went on, everything started to go downhill. She often complained about having too many students in her class and eventually stopped doing lectures so we basically learned nothing for half the term. She seems like a good person and has good intentions but often seems lazy when teaching

She did not really care about this class. Several students complained to the Dean about her lack of engagement and content shared throughout the course. She forgot to post any content for almost a month and then expected us to create a voice recording about what we had learnt. Be prepared to learn from a textbook.

Very clearly did not care about our class, kept taking things out of the syllabus because she didnt want to do them. Did not make her own lectures, cancelled live lectures after a few weeks. Did not communicate with TAs resulting in lost marks and student/TA arguments. However, this class was super easy. No exam, no midterm.

The TAs werent the greatest and lacked communication with the prof so there were a lot of issues. No guideline for assignments

There's a reason why everyone's giving negative reviews while getting As in her courses. Never replies to emails and she gets annoyed if you email, very vague assignments and course content, doesn't give instructions for assignments (only rubrics), TAs are clueless, and the prof has put no work or effort in the course. Think twice before taking it.
