If I could rate 0 I would. Took her for Feminist Novels and didn't know my grade until Week 10-11 aka Finals Week. She played favorites with those who attended office hours and did not question her ever. She was really rude and nasty in her grading, humiliated us on the daily. Worst professor literally ever. Honestly hope UCR takes action.

Professor Tyler should not be a professor. I have never struggled so much in one class nor have I hated a professor more. She grades so harshly and confusingly that by the end of it I don't even know my final grade nor how to amend my mistakes. She does not care about her students and it shows in how unaccessible she is. Do not take her!!!!

I would suggest staying away from any courses with this professor. She is very unorganized, patronizing, and very unprofessional in meeting deadlines. Each time I participated in this class, she has always nitpicked at my responses and made me feel horrible. Navigating this class and her off-topic stories during lectures are overall frustrating.

Comment:

She is the absolute worst professor I have ever taken. She did not grade one single assignment until the last week before finals week. When we finally did receive this ONE assignment back, it was PARTLY graded. She is not accessible at all and is painfully unorganized. I have no idea how she is a professor at a university. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

Would not take again or recommend to anyone. Professor Tyler was the most disorganized professor I have ever had. She would go off on tangents and never discuss the actual readings she was assigning. She always made excuses for not grading our assignments and didn't grade our midterm until week 10 when nobody could do anything about it.

WORST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE COLLEGE CAREER. The main issue is the grading and assignment aspects. She does not finish grading anything and when she does its half done. She just clocked out teaching this class and when she was emailed, she said "she had a lot going on". OKAY?! SO DO WE? if you can't grade assignments, don't assign them.

I took CAT's class 6 yrs ago. She's the most difficult professor I've had. At the time, I thought she was unreasonably cruel in her grading principles. I quote "This is not a college-level paper. The writing is very weak" but I realize it was me not putting in the effort. She's made a lasting impression on me as I enter mid-career well into 6 figs.

Honestly worst professor I have taken. I went into my final barely knowing my grade for the class as she lagged with grading. Very unclear on her expectations and critiqued students work with by unnecessarily saying youre trying too hard to sound smart. Took her nearly 1 month to grade the midterms and again several weeks for the final.

Takes forever to grade. I went into the final not knowing my grade (every day, she would show up to class making excuses as to why she hadn't graded it in weeks), and she made the final harder to "help" her grade it faster... Is extremely condescending in feedback, and is outright rude to students. Don't take this class if you don't need it.

Worst experience I've ever had. I've never rated a professor, but I had to rate this one. We only had two assignments: the midterm and the final. The midterm was graded at the same time as the final, meaning I didn't know my grade until I couldn't do anything about it. Lecture heavy, attendance mattered, worked hard and failed. AVOID THIS TEACHER.

I would never willingly take this professor again. Disorganized. Tangent-laden. Verbose. These are the words I would use to describe my experience in this class. Class would start late, and it would always go over by 3 or 4 minutes. I did not receive my midterm grade until the last day of finals week! Do not recommend.

Awful professor! She was unprepared and unorganized and made up stupid excuses. I dont recommend you take her in any class. She assigns reading and talks about irrelevant stuff. She gave a pop quiz cuz people weren't coming and was laughing and smiling at the classes b/c of her pleasure in our struggle. Goes off tangents and is very condescending.

Professor Tyler is a pretty dry person in general. But all of her exams are take home, she is a hard grader on essays and exams because she wants specific things in her paper/tests. Tests consist of short answer and essay questions. She takes a long time to grade and we don't know our grade until the last few weeks of the quarter.

Very unorganized and late to almost every lecture. She found something to yell at us about every lecture and her grading is very vague and unclear. Her website is also really complicated and unnecessarily overwhelming. She gets mad when she gets asked questions bc we should know the answer. Expects too much for a undergraduate breadth course.

She has a reputation for being hard, but she's not GPA breaking at all. Here's the thing: just go to her office hours, read through her essay guides, and read all the assigned material and answer the questions. Also, don't be mad if she doesn't grade right away. If you do the work, you should know what you'll be getting!

grades arbitrarily and has an illogical system for determining final grades. I asked her a few days before the quarter ended what my grade so far was and she had absolutely no idea. she also goes off on tangents and barely teaches, and when students ask her how they can improve papers she offers little and vague feedback while being visibly annoyed

Warning. Don't take her class. Constantly talked down to her students. Expected doctorate level work in a lower division English class. Tough grader and had a complicated grading system for no reason. Hardly followed the syllabus. Spent 2-3 class periods on author's bio/maybe a hot second on the actually story content. don't recommend
