ENGL101 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/10/2024 |
Professor Cote was great for ENGL101. If you do all the assignments correctly and put in effort, you will get at least an A- in the class. You have to frequently participate and go to class in order to get above an A-. It is easy to participate, however, as Professor Cote creates an inclusive class environment. Professor Cote gives a lot of feedback on papers so you can actually improve as a writer. You also get to do a lot of group in-class activities, which I liked. The only complaint I have about Professor Cote's class is that some of the class discussions were very boring, and I didn't feel as if they helped me with my assignments. Overall, I would recommend Professor Cote! |

I love Professor Cote! She's such a nice teacher that genuinely cares about us as students. You can tell she enjoys working with students and cares about their thoughts. She's also very understanding if you need an extension or have other situations going on. Her assignments are labor-based, meaning that as long as you complete the assignment on time and you actually tried, you'll get full marks. However, she's very big on participation. 10% of your grade at the end on the semester will be based on your participation in class, how engaged you were during discussions, and if you actually came to class. Her class is very discussion based, and it's where most of your participation points will come from. However, her class sizes are small - around 15-20 people - so participating in class was not difficult. As someone who normally doesn't really speak up during discussions, I think she made it very comfortable for students to participate. Content wise, it's what you'll expect from a ENGL100 class. You'll have to write a few essays and read some articles. But I don't think the workload was overwhelming. Overall, I recommend taking her if you're trying to fulfill your gen-ed. |

Professor Cote was a very kind person and she genuinely cared about us as people. This semester was "labor based," where if you turn in completed work and met the requirements, you will get full points on an assignment. She is huge on participation; attendance and in-class participation are things she tracks (she even looks at laptop/phone usage), which means she takes off a lot of points at the end for participation. Late work is accepted and she is very flexible in her teaching. We did a lot of in-class peer reviews and sometimes she would lecture on the genre of writing we were doing. She gives extremely detailed feedback & you can take it with a grain of salt generally because they are stylistic comments. |

Dr. Cote was not initially supposed to be teaching this course, but I'm very glad she ultimately did. Dr. Cote was not only extremely accommodating when it came to adjusting submission dates for work, but she also provided excellent feedback on writing assignments. Additionally, despite providing extensive feedback and improvements on minor issues, these minor issues wouldn't reduce your grade heavily, ensuring that you will do well in this class as long as you submit everything on time and follow the requirements. There was one group project that was relatively annoying, and it sucked that we didn't do a personal statement assignment, but as far as improving my writing, I definitely feel that I did that upon completion of this course. I definitely would recommend Dr. Cote for ENGL395. |
