Coolidge was an amazing professor. Always worked with me when i needed help or needed help with my grade. Always pushed you to get the grade she felt you deserve. She really loves what she does and she puts that into her work, which is very noticeable. 10/10 would totally recommend

Coolidge is a great professor, she is the best prof out of the 3 for this sequence. This class is very extensive and will require a lot of work if you want a good grade. 2 essays which she allows rewrites on and she provides good feedback so you know exactly what you need to change. 1st semester is definitely harder than 2nd. Doesnt put in grades.

I genuinely loved Professor Coolidge! She is clear about all her assignments. You know exactly when you will have a quiz or paper due, however there is a TON of reading.

Worst professor at GVSU. She was not helpful at all during office hours. I would never ever take another class from this teacher in my lifetime.

Prof. Coolidge is fantastic. She knows her material. There is a lot of reading but it's needed to understand. I learned a ton in her class. She is more that willing to help all the time. Very supportive, WELL organized, her lecture supports the process for writing the papers, helpful if you que in to that. You know what she expects from the start.

Was great but you needed to be there everyday and we usually did some sort of group discussion o some sort. You will need to read the textbook or you won't pass. No tests just three really easy papers that you have way more than enough time to write. The final was an essay to two or three questions and you get a notecard of info to answer them

Prof. Coolidge is a great professor but be prepared for a lot of reading and writing. For a gen. ed class you do a lot of writing. You grade basically depends on the three papers you write plus the final exam. Expect to read 20-30pgs for hw. We had quizzes about every week, but are fairly easy if you take notes on the reading. NO TESTS:)

Comment:

Dr. Coolidge is one of the nicest, most helpful professors; you can tell she cares deeply about you and her class. Her class is tough however if you put in the work you should be fine on the papers. My only complaints are that there is too much reading for a 3 credit class, and it is unreasonable to grade participation and attendance as is done.

Professor Coolidge is amazing! I loved her and this class! She is a tough grader, but that's because she genuinely wants you to succeed. She is always willing to help you out (seriously, go to her office hours). You will read a lot, but you will also learn so much from the discussions. I couldn't have asked for a better professor!

She's an amazing teacher. Really does well to keep you interested in the class, and knows what she's talking about. She's super perceptive of her students, and will push back assignments if she thinks you're overworked.

Dr. Coolidge is a wonderful woman and professor. The class is a lot of work, but very rewarding. Grade derives from participation, reading quizes, and 4 papers. She definitely knows what she's talking about and really cares about the grades her students recieve.

She is so nice and straight forward! You get lot of pop quizzes, but they are easy if you do the reading. She gives you everything you need for the midterm and final exams, even the essay questions. I hate history, but she made this class one f my favorites! I highly recommend her!

Prof Coolidge is great! She is very interesting to listen to in class and always willing to help her students. She assigns a lot of work but none of it is busy work, it all has a purpose and can be very beneficial to learning if taken seriously. If you do the work, listen in class and work hard, I don't see why you wouldn't get an A. Love her!

Comment:

Dr. Coolidge is a very helpful and nice professor. This class requires a lot of reading, and it can be quite a burden. Papers make up most of your grade. Make sure you start them early so you can ask her for advice on them. While the class is very difficult, you can still earn an A. It will make you a much better writer as well.
