Amazing professor, will work with you if you have any problems and genuinely wants her students to succeed. Very caring and is passionate about what she teaches.

Professor Cook is wonderful and insightful. I enjoyed her style of lecture and the material we read in class. She is a kind professor who cares for her students' learning and success. She is approachable, accessible, and helpful during office hours. Be sure to read the text and do more than one draft on your papers - it really goes a long way.

Professor Cook was my first English professor at UCSB. Her lectures are incredibly thorough and you will learn a lot about a topic that you might not have known existed. She is an extremely articulate and interesting teacher. She gives amazing feedback on every essay and you can tell that she really enjoys reading student's writing.

She is a nice lady. But you still have to work for it.

The readings were okay, but her lectures REALLY contributed to my understanding and interpretation of them. They were really clear and organized and I enjoyed them thoroughly. The midterm and final weren't hard, just go to all of the lectures and you'll be fine -- no essay for either test! Harsh paper grader, feedback almost kind of condescending

Professor cook is such an intelligent, sweet, helpful, passionate, amazing professor! She truly made class and the subject fun. She is so approachable and is always willing to give a helping hand in office hours! Overall, great person and professor. By far my favorite English professor at UCSB.
