Reviews of professor Nathan Cottle

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Nate will tell you to get the textbooks and that they are necessary, so I spent some good money on them and have opened them a few times. There is reading assigned in the modules, but I did fine on all of the quizzes and assignments without reading. Main assignments are in a group so choose a good one with a topic you love.

I enjoyed this class and I learned a lot. If you turn in your best work on time and do the readings, you will do good on the quizzes and those make or break your grade. Assignments are due every other week, which is nice and gives you time to get everything done.

Easy A online. All HW is busy work. As long as you give effort, and stay on top of the HW, you'll do great. Super accessible: There was a mishap submitting an assignment, after the class had closed down, and I called him at his personal number and he fixed the issue promptly. The information if interesting and applicable.

The required reading is through an online textbook with interactive videos and quizzes, which I really enjoyed. The big ABC project is really easy, as are the Activity Squares. The activity squares allow you to tailor the assignment to whatever form you like most. I was happy with the amount of time this class' assignments took. Highly recommend!

You have to submit lots of videos of you practicing items from the curriculum like role plays. Also, this course is heavy in creating a Family Life Educator needs assessment, curriculum and research and final project. Don't procrastinate ANYTHING. Stick to a schedule and you'll do fine.

Super nice professor! While there were a lot of assignments and papers, we got to choose which ones we wanted to do and they only had to be one or two pages long. Super responsive and kind, always responded to my posts with nice things to say. A great online class, I felt like I learned a lot due to the way it was structured!

I liked this online class. The textbook is online and easy to read. I learned a lot about families and family life. Lots of good information. No midterm, no final, but quizzes every other week. The assignments were practical and interesting.

Lots of Assignments but they are easy. Used textbook on Kindle to better search for quizzes. Genogram is a large project. Don't procrastinate. Stay on schedule.

Professor Cottle was great! He graded things pretty quickly, answered emails promptly, and really knows his stuff. This was my second time taking his class (both FAMS1100 and FAMS101G) and I enjoyed it both times.

I took the SUMMER course. Class had a lot of work as it was condensed. Professor was ok. He didn't stand out in my eyes. Need the books, do your work, and choose good a group.
