Reviews of professor Vanessa Coote

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Coote can be monotone but shes actually funny. The key to passing class is office hours. She will literally work through the entire assignment with you, answer your questions, and give examples. Shes actually really helpful just GO TO OFFICE HOURS and read the book and you will pass. She gives tons of extra credit. My grade went from a 70 to a 85.

Lectures can be boring but she knows what she's talking about. Willing to answer your questions. Tough grader but as long as your group assignments and tests are good you shouldn't have anything to worry about. She has review classes before the final exam and tells you what it will look like. Practice/review your code so it looks like the rubric

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. She doesnt grade until its too late. Late to class multiple time with no email or messages. Just sits at her desk and reads directly from the slide. Isnt helpful when it comes to emails or asking for help. Either get a good tutor or find a different professor

Horrible professor! if you can avoid her, stay away. Lectures are extremely boring because she just sits in her desk and reads from a PowerPoint. she grades last minute and will an F on an assignment without any explanation.

Coote is cool, she WILL NOT harass students or speak to them rudely(Like Jacobs). She WILL allow you to fail. She WILL NOT help you if you do not ask for help. When you ask, she is willing to explain in detail what you are not understanding. She is available to assist students during her office hours, so be smart and go if you are lost or confused.

Literally one of the worst teachers to take ever. Doesn't grade you during the semester. Boring class and isn't helpful whatsoever

Terrible person

I cannot express how mundane her teaching style is. If you are a student that unfortunately has to take her class, I wish you nothing but the best. She doesn't give clear instructions and barely answers emails or questions in general. PLEASE look for a good tutor or else you will be forever lost in her boring ass sauce. You have been warned.

Highly suggest if you're taking Fundamentals of Programming for the first time at FAMU, take Prof. Allen. If I could give her a negative rating I would.

This class will be very difficult. Not good if you have no prior programming experience because the rate of assignments is fast. While she personally will try to help you every once in a while, the material and workload is still heavy. There were 4 projects and 3 tests not including the final. There are numerous assignments each week. Be careful!
