I took Civil War with Professor Coggins and it was great. One of the most relevant classes for international relations, with interesting readings and freedom in essays to apply concepts to what mattered to you individually. If you put in effort to learn as a student, you will be successful in this class. Was overall impressed by her teaching.

I honestly loved Prof Coggins, her lectures were really interesting and even though we had to miss a few weeks because of jury duty i learned so much. Its a hard class and you will have to work for the A but her midterm and final are really straightforward. The papers were tough BUT go see your TA!!!!!!!!!!!

She is one of the worst professors I've had. We covered some interesting materials in the class, but I would not retake her course. She did not provide clear grading rubrics for the papers we had to write, and I did not know my grade towards the end of the quarter. Also, she gave poor-quality feedback on our papers.

The worst professor of all time, no exaggeration : avoid at ANY cost. Doesn't care at all about teaching, awful lecturer, no structure of class, inexistent guidelines to succeed, always passive agressive, not understanding, not humble, not caring, power complex. The most passionate IR kid will want to become EECS Major after this.

I am not exaggerating when I say she is the worst professor I have ever had. She does not care about the class or helping her students succeed. I got zero feedback throughout the entire quarter, and this made it extremely tough to write a 8 PAGE SINGLE SPACED PAPER. She is a nice person, but I would change my major before taking her class again.
