Best way to start a day is with Dr. Colberts English class, very nice always making little jokes and very fair with her grading. Gives makeup assignments to replace crappy grades, never a bad class.

We covered really interesting texts, plus related movies and TV shows. (Seriously, Ive been waiting all my life to study Anne of Green Gables.) Carolyn gave great feedback on assignments and discussion posts. I felt I participated more than in a regular class. Highly recommend!

If you take a class with Dr. Colbert, it is guaranteed that you will improve your writing skills! This lady is a gem! If you send her a rough draft of your essay before it is due, she will edit it for you and send it back! Because of Dr. Colbert and her awesome feedback, I am much more confident in my writing abilities.

This course was fantastic and the material was so interesting. Dr. Colbert was active and encouraging in the forums. Id take other courses with her if I get the opportunity.

She's tough though I learned so darn much from her. Attend her classes and use her office hours, she puts in so much for students. I've gotta be a leprechaun who's found his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Dr. Colbert is my favourite english prof! She's very clear about grading criteria and will edit your paper in full if you see her before the due date! Her lectures are great and she's super funny! Two in class assignments and she provides the topics for both beforehand for preparation.

Dr Colbert is by far the best prof Ive had. I wasnt sure how I felt about her on the first day because of her sarcasm but thats her sense of humour and shes hilarious!! Very clear about what she wants and has lots of safety nets. She takes attendance so definitely show up because that will affect your mark with her. Definitely recommend!

By far my favourite prof I had this semester. Dr. Colbert is hilarious and makes the course so interesting! Also several "safety nets" built in to her course. Would definitely take again. ALSO make sure you attend the last lecture before every in-class.

LOVED HER. She's freaking hilarious, and actually makes the course material interesting. She does make you work for your mark, and I would definitely recommend going to classes, but it's definitely worth it to have her as a prof. Gives great feedback on essays so that you can improve your mark over the semester. Would definitely take her again.

A LEGEND. Although initially somebody I thought to be a tough grader, Dr. Colbert proved to be my favourite prof of the semester with her excellent feedback, straightforward grading criteria, and hilarious personality. Shes willing to review drafts and will make you a better writer. Id without a doubt take her again.

Dr. Colbert is an awesome prof for first year English! She's very clear with what she expects from you and allows lots of easy opportunities to get a higher grade. Make sure to go to class, ESPECIALLY the class before an in-class essay. Generally a hilarious prof, would definitely recommend.

Dr. Colbert couldn't have been better. She answered questions quickly and followed up in the discussion forums. The course material was interesting. Yes, she's a tough marker but it's so you will improve.

Responsive but a VERY hard grader, don't take the online course unless you have time to do 2-3 discussion posts a week. Not very opened minded in regards of literature interpretation. BUT she goes have a clean evaluation structure for online , just be prepared for her to have high expectations of you even thought its only a first level course.
