Reviews of professor Anna Cook

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Anna was a great professor! Super friendly and she made online learning feel more engaging by putting us into breakout rooms where we could meet our classmates and discuss. Her marking was fair overall, though I did receive a few assignments with a lower grade than expected with little feedback. A few assignments, midterm and a timed final exam.

Anna is a very nice person, and cares a lot about her students and her classes.  The problem is that her grading is way too tough, with zero feedback on how to improve - which makes it feel very arbitrary.  The farther behind she gets on her grading work, the tougher her grading becomes.  Don't take her class if grades are a motivator for you.

Dr. Anna Cook is very passionate about philosophy, tea, and Laika! The textbook is needed, but I barely used it, and only used it for definitions with the criterial approach on defining the arguments. If you understand the lecture slides, then you will do fine. If you do fine, then you will do better after the readings. Therefore, you will do fine!

Love Anna! Taken a few of her courses. She makes classes so fun and her small group discussions really help you understand the material. She is encouraging and explains things clearly. She is super enthusiastic and passionate about philosophy. She can be a tougher marker, but with good reason and helps you improve as a writer.

Really nice. Gives really horrible feedback on papers. She told us to not spend time defining terms other than your main one in definition papers, but gave me the feedback to "define all my terms"? Confused as to what she wants, but is readily available to ask for clarification. Brings tea to class. Uses the phrase "insofar as" alot.

Anna has improved immensely from her first semester at UFV. She really pays attention to what students expect from a professor and encourages for students to speak out. She cares a lot about the environment of the class, making it fun and relaxed as well as a space of acceptance. She's truly an amazing and inspirational professor, highly recommend!

This was my first class with Anna. She is very passionate about what she teaches and she always kept class engaging with group activities and participation. Anna would bring tea to class and always make sure she would be available for her students and student feedback.
