Comment:
I found Libby Cohen an approachable person outside of the classroom. However, it is her teaching style inside the classroom that turns students off. She pulls marks out of thin air and marks very hard, especially for a first year course. In class she asks questions and when students answer she almost always corrects them. Do not take her class!

Comment:
As an Upper year student taking this first year class, the amount of reading she gives is impossible. Unrealistic to finish all the readings while taking other classes. Her lectures don't seem to have much structure. Unsure what's important while she lectures. Looks for a specific answer for very broad questions which is difficult for first years.

Comment:
Libby has the knowledge, expertise and skill required to teach higher level university courses. However, her arrogance and complete lack of social skills in terms of treating other human beings with respect was absent when I took her 3rd year course. Do not take her class unless you are able to stomach the constant and un-necessitated criticism.

Comment:
Libby Cohen is one of York's best professors. She gives a heavy workload and can seem tough, but she's also one of the few profs who really tries to TEACH students. If you take her advice, you will improve as a learner and essayist. She's been around long enough that she has a BS detector. Try hard and show interest and she will respond in kind.

Comment:
I found this course rather boring and the prof. uninvolved with her students. It would have been nice if when you emailed or asked her a direct question about the course that she wouldn't pass it off to the T.A. I don't recommend this course if you want a prof. that engages students.

Comment:
I found her tone of voice and expression to be extremely boring & dreadful. Oh and for the final exam she never told us the structure of the exam and when asked, she didn't even tell us whether it would include 1st & 2nd term material or just 2nd term. This goes to show how helpful she is! She just left us in the dark! B****!

Comment:
A very educated woman, but clearly has an agenda. Her personal views seep into her presentation of history, and her choice of what to include and what to leave out are indications of her sympathies and condemnations. Found her cold and unapproachable.
