Reviews of professor Vanessa Cozza

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
The school advertised professional & technical skill development & critical thinking. The classes were so different from what I expected. I did not learn any skills in Cozza's class that could be used at work. They use disposition theory to screen people out of the program. See Ed Swan. She invades people's privacy w/ inappropriate questions.

I actually took English 101. However, while taking this class, Cozza gave me 100% for every assignment that met bare minimum requirements and weak feedback. When it came to the final (portfolio of work) she marked me for things that were not marked, not explicit in the rubric, and not a recommended revision. Super frustrated by the lack of feedback

Cozza is a great Professor who leads creative and interesting lectures/class discussions. She is very strict on her paper criteria, and does not offer extra credit. Keep up with the pace of class and prioritize small deadlines, because she tends not to be forgiving of special circumstances. Strict, but we all learned a lot.

The essay rubrics were extremely vague, which essentially gave her freedom to grade however she felt that day. Do not choose Cozza if you have others options.

Dr. Cozza is very knowledgeable about English, as you would expect her to be, and her ability to be meticulous about detail is impressive. She definitely helped me become a better writer. Her classes go just fine as long as you turn everything in on time (she doesn't accept late work; if you have extenuating circumstances it's different).

She forces her political views onto students and expects students to agree to her views. She sets up group therapy and forces students to talk about their feelings related to topics that have nothing to do with the degree. She continually stereotypes.

Her courses were terrible. I do not recommend this instructor. 

What a waste of time and money.

She used racial slurs in this class. She promoted hateful ideologies. Worst teacher I've ever had.

350 characters is not enough to properly describe how bad she is. Four assignments for the whole semester. Horrendous lectures, eating ice in the middle of speaking, erasing and rewriting examples that weren't prepared ahead of time. Barely taught the fundamentals of English. Gave me 0/100 on a paper that deserved a higher grade so I barely passed.
