ENG197 . Cook E H 5 Years Ago

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.

ENGL114 . Cook E H 7 Years Ago

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.

ENGL102 . Cook E H 8 Years Ago

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

ENGL102 . Cook E H 9 Years Ago

The reading is essential to passing the class. There is a lot of it (even for an English class) and the tests are VERY specific to the reading, so know it well. The lectures can be helpful, but they're also very unnecessary with regards to getting an A. I would recommend this only to those that love the subject of English.

ENGL103 . Cook E H 10 Years Ago

Took her class on epistolary narratives. She's very easy-going; lectures are interesting and power points are posted. As long as you have some good ideas in your papers/presentations and have done enough of the reading to know what's going on in class. Provides lots of handouts (goodbye trees) but they are interesting and helpful for papers.

ENGL102 . Cook E H 10 Years Ago

This professor is really nice, very helpful, and extremely enthusiastic during lecture! She really seems to enjoy the material which makes the class more enjoyable. Cook is VERY straight-forward concerning the tests and papers; the mid-term and final have the same format and are quite easy if you actually attend class and read most of the material.

ENG102 . Cook E H 10 Years Ago

Cook is a very approachable and vivacious lady. Material can be dull at times, but her enthusiasm shines through during lecture. Not a lot of lengthy readings relative to the other English courses I've taken. Do all the reading, attend lecture, and write proficiently and you'll do just fine. Overall I'd say this was a good class!

ENGL102 . Cook E H 11 Years Ago

The material was dull but not too difficult to get through. Most people take this class as a requirement, not by choice. Professor cook was extremely passionate and energetic at every lecture. It made a boring class a lot more bearable! She is so sweet and helpful. She wants you to succeed!

ENG169 . Cook E H 12 Years Ago

Professor Cook is super interested in everything she teaches and everything you have to say. She's understanding when you're having a hard time and genuinely cares about her students. Her class is a good mixture of smaller assignments with a few larger ones (the smaller ones help you stay caught up!) and her finals are not meant to trick you! =)

ENG165N . Cook E H 12 Years Ago

Cook is a great professor. Really into what she teaches and always willing to help or answer Q's. She's really into what she's doing so do go prepared to class. She loves discussion. Pleasant experience with her. Poetry is not my favorite thing, but she made it very bareable

ENGL165 . Cook E H 13 Years Ago

There was nothing profoundly negative or positive about this class. It is boring but easy... she makes things pretty clear. Mandatory attendance. I can't say I would take another of her courses again.

ENGL128E . Cook E H 15 Years Ago

Great Professor. Go to class, read the books, and you'll do fine. She's a nice, understanding woman. I worked pretty hard and got an A-. Thought I deserved an A, but i'm not complaining.

ENG102 . Cook E H 16 Years Ago

took Eng 102 and 114 EM with this professor (so both big leacture and small class). she always comes prepared with a mini thesis for each class and evidence to support it. enjoyed having a smaller class so we could have discussion. very smart, very helpful. Got an A in both, worked hard in both.

The subject material wasn't my favorite but Cook's lectures were always informative and organized. And if you go to lecture and listen, you'll ace the exams, which is always a plus.

ENGL102 . Cook E H 16 Years Ago

Professor Cook is wonderful! Her lectures are informative and easy to follow. Plus, she is very helpful if you need help w/any of the material. Cook is AAA+++professor in my book. I would recommend her to any English Major. She is that good!

ENGL102B . Cook E H 16 Years Ago

A nice, sweet woman. Welcoming and helpful during office hours. Lecture is 3 times a week and I averaged about 2. Lecture is not super important but highlights key themes which you will need for the midterm and final. I completely BS'd this class and pulled a B+ but if you go to lecture regularly and do atleast some of the reading its an easy A.

ENGL102 . Cook E H 17 Years Ago

I enjoyed her analysis of the material. She really felt passionate about the subject, and that made me even more enthused for the class. I formed a study group for this class, and i think all of us got A's, so that is the trick for doing well here i think.

ENGL165 . Cook E H 18 Years Ago

English 165MM: Interesting material (about making monsters), somewhat scatterbrained lectures. She asks for a lot of participation and input so that her students can contribute to the process of thinking about her theories. Not an easy grader, I worked hard for a B+

I love professor Cook, she is interesting and clear. Draws together interesting conclusions, and also chooses a wide selction of works.

ENGL102 . Cook E H 18 Years Ago

This isn't a period of literature I was that excited about, but the lectures actually taught me a lot and the material became a lot more interesting--if you want to do well in this class go to the lectures. The TA's were also very helpful.
