Comment:

The coolest woman I have ever met. My favorite class I have taken and she told the class that I had done the best analytic paper she had ever seen. Still liked her before she said that. She also kicked a girl out of class the week before finals so that was pretty hard core.

She is really funny and entertaining and very smart but a bit unorganized. I liked her style and how she made me think

Loved her! She is one of the best, it not the best professor I have ever had in college. Learned a lot and her accomplishments and excessive knowledge in her field are a true inspiration to any aspiring college student!

Comment:

Check out her CV. Her achievements blow away those of the average Westminster faculty member in terms of research, publications, leadership positions, and accolades. Too many "WC" faculty haven't achieved anything substantial in academia beyond their own dissertations. We need more Cottlers to infuse credibility into this institution!

Comment:

The best teacher ever. She makes history interesting and will teach you all you could want to know IF YOU are willing. Ignorant students think her digressions are narcissistic, when in fact she does it to give the class an entertaining break from lecture, and are often relevant. If you are lazy, don't bother. Quit college while you're at it.

The Doc was my advisor. What an amazing woman. Just do what she asks and follow the instructions. I would have not made it through without her as my advisor!

If you are not in school to learn, you may not like Ms. Cottler; but, if you are here to soak up the classes, you will get alot out of her classes. She expects nothing but the best from the students.

Comment:

One of the best prof. at Westmini! Her classes are fun and easy and you learn alot about history from SOURCE MATERIALS, like where the History Text books get their history! Her life stories are awsome (I.e.: waking up one day and realizing that she wanted to become the leading historian on Soul music!) Take from "DOC!"

Comment:

She was one of my fav. teachers. Yea she strayed from the subject from time to time but it made class better. I learned alot and she always kept it interesting. people say that they didnt learn that is their own fault there was actually a few books required and alot of required text reading from the book.

Comment:

She thought she was so cool, and while I learned some info, it was nothing useful. She also accused the whole class of sexism for no reason whatsoever on an exam. Our class hated her because of her attitude. Many of us left the program over her. If she still teaches, tell them to retire her or send her to teaching 101 again.

Cottler is a great professor. She tells stories about herself yes, but it's a welcome break from long boring lectures like most classes. Still, even woth her deviations, I learned a lot from her lectures.

Comment:

Well, she was full of herself and was very harsh on the class. She would be a decent professor if she was nicer though. O yea, she picks favorites too- careful! Not to mention she deleted me from the class (due to her puter skills) and I had to get through red tape to fix it!

She may be a stoner and tell a lot of stoner stories about San Francisco and may even write with chalk on the walls and even may have a disregard for the Bolsheviks, but I really liked her - and she liked my paper!

Comment:

Students better read their materials because they are not going to get much out of her lectures. She should remember the subject is "history," but not Cottler History. Save the autobiography for another day and focus on the task at hand.
