Reviews of professor Renee Cottle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Literally reads straight from the textbook. Have never had a worse proffessor. Does not answer questions or give any clear information about expectations. I am appalled at her complete inability and lack of preparation for teaching. Only completes derivations with out explaining background, math or why/how to use equations.

I can not recommend taking this class in person, but online it was very easy. She has 2 review lectures before the exam that is basically the exam. The homework is okay and the quizzes are easy.

Dr. Cottle is truly one of the nicest people in the whole department. She is incredibly smart and it shows in her lectures, however she makes them very easy to follow. Great exam reviews but gives homeworks every week as well as an easy quiz, nothing too difficult just a lot of time.

First year teaching-had a lot of flaws. Notes weren't always clear and derivations were a mess. If you could catch her at office hours she was always helpful-but not super accessible. Very specific tests, if you didn't understand one topic you were out of luck. Not always great with questions. Doable, but maybe give the benefit of the doubt?
