COMM107 Anonymous 01/24/2022 |
Worst Comm107 professor. Was such an easy class that she somehow made difficult. She will never answer your emails and will grade extraordinarily harshly without any feedback as of why or how to improve. She is strangely picky and if you don't do things exactly how she likes she will dock you points from it. On top of all that she was rude to her students and would single them out in class acting as if she was "teasing" or "joking around" with them but would just end up making the student and their peers uncomfortable. I hate to leave a comment like this but this is an easy class that should be relatively enjoyable whether you take it as a freshman or as a senior and she makes it awful and will mess up ur GPA when it should be an easy A+. I would give a zero if I could. She was one of the worst professors I've had and would rather take another difficult science course than any course with her because they I can at least gauge whether I'm going to do well or not and not just hope for the best and then get screwed over. |

I advise not taking COMM107 with her. For one, she would never give written feedback (you had to attend her office hours to find out why you got a certain grade, even though this course was taught online), even after making us wait for several weeks to a month to get a grade on any given assignment. She would also make insensitive comments in class that would make students feel uncomfortable, and often did not respond to questions sent through email. I'll give her some credit for being flexible on deadlines, and I think that some criticism of her is overblown, but I still would not recommend taking this course with her. |

If you sign up for COMM107 and end up with her, I highly suggest dropping this course within the add/drop period and re-enrolling with a different professor. She projects herself as someone who wants to help her students and teach them how to be great communicators, but within two weeks into the course she reveals her true colors. She is an arrogant, unhelpful, and sometimes even offensive instructor. First of all, she gives very unclear instructions on her assignments and if you email her asking for a clarification, she won't even respond half of the time, giving the vague answer of "you should read the syllabus" (even when the syllabus does not mention anything relevant). And on top of these unclear instructions, she still grades very harshly and hardly even mentions what you did wrong. If you ask her why something was graded the way it was, you will be lucky to get a proper response. She acts as if she is above everyone in the room, as if she has this aura where everyone will look up to her. And if she is running short on time, it doesn't matter if you worked your ass off on an assignment, or if you spent 3 seconds on it, you'll get the same grade. And despite the fact that we are in 2020, she has still makes so many racially insensitive comments in class which she probably thinks are okay just because she herself is a minority too. Some of you who are reading this will probably think that this review is biased, but I am not the only one who has felt this way about her. I don't know why there aren't more reviews for her on PlanetTerp, but if you type in "Victoria Mends-Cole" into RateMyProfessor you will see a much more accurate depiction of who this teacher really is. To summarize this, if you want to avoid trouble your freshman year, just don't take this class |

amazing person. but sometimes forgetful/too busy with her other work. But if you talk to her during class she can always help |
