Reviews of professor Rochelle Cote

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Côté was amazing at introducing complex themes and facilitating discussion that allowed for self-reflection and debate, she was impressive in diffusing tension and allowing for an exploration of diverse, and at times controversial, perspectives. I was inspired in the way that she did not shut down differing opinions but instead reframed them.

I cannot figure out why Dr. Cote has so many negative reviews. I had her for the 2021 intersession and found her great. Always got back to me quickly, and when she gave amazing input on the blogs we had to do. Plus, you could tell that she loved the course she taught. The final exam was a bit wonky though.

terrible experience. not a fair grader, not respectful to students.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
On top of other courses, this proved to be an unmanageable amount of work. Expect upwards of four weekly readings and summaries, heavy class participation, and assignments which are extremely demanding of your time. I'd recommend this class if you know exactly what you're getting into, group discussions were interesting and Cote is very supportive.

Prof Cote is amazing! Interesting lectures, provides support to do well, always available Outside of class. Readings were ok but got more from the lectures. Tough marker but group project was worth it! Plan to take courses from her again.

Dr. Côté, in my time taking her, did not return any of my marks until after the last day of classes. She declined emails and sporadically answered some questions on our brightspace shell. Her grading criteria was not only not clear, it was absent in all material given to us. Assignment descriptions were intentionally (by her admission) vague

Genuinely one of the worst professors I have ever had the displeasure of working with. Condescending at best and downright rude when it comes to talking wth students. Refuses to believe that anyone may be more educated in something than she is. Avoid her at all costs.

Overall just not a nice person. She doesn't listen to other opinions and thinks her experience and knowledge outweighs that of anyone else in the class. She is rude and rarely accessible. And when she is, she makes you feel like she is lecturing you on wasting her time.

Very tough grader. Assignment instructions are not clear at all, and you will be penalized HEAVILY for not following her instructions. Her feedback is not very helpful, and she gives no mercy or breaks.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very vague on assignment requirements, takes forever to respond back to students, does not give clear outlines, tough grader considering the lack of guidance or requirements given for assignments, very unorganized.
