Not bad. Gave good feedback on drafts and papers, but was very rude in emails. Made me feel like I shouldn't email her for questions.

I have taken 5 english courses at mun in the past ands this was by far the worst. It seems impossible to achieve higher than a 70 and when she hands back essays with comments from her included it feels as though she's calling you stupid. Avoid if possible

2000 is not an easy course but Dr C made it manageable. The discussion was work but an easy way to build up marks. Im doing a second course with her next semester.

Comment:

Dr. Colbert is a good prof but a bit of an oddity. She was engaged and knowledgeable throughout the duration of the semester. 30% of the semester's grades come from discussion posts so it is very possible to get an A if you put in the work. I found I disagreed with some of Dr. Colbert's feedback on my essays, but it was not a major problem.

Found her classes difficult. After taking a few with her I'm finally self-defeated and will avoid in the future. VERY discussion heavy. Worth 30% of the grade, and you have to post a minimum of three substantial posts weekly. A tough grader as well.

I took Dr. Colbert for English 1090 and absolutely loved her class! The books she chose to teach about are very interesting and made it enjoyable to write about! She gives great feedback especially if you go to her office hours. She made me love English class again after hating it in high school! She wants you to succeed!!

Dr. Colbert is simply AMAZING! She's very clear about what she expects from you, and is always willing to read a rough draft or help you out! She truly wants you to succeed! She's a prof who understands that you have other courses, so books are usually read in class unless asked otherwise. Honestly, she is just such a great english prof!

I cant recommend Dr. Colbert enough. In high school I hated English but Dr. Colbert made me love it again! The course material is interesting and there isnt that many assignments. She reads the books in class but doesnt post all the notes online. Shes wants you to do well and as long as you talk to her or go to her office, she will help you.

Funny and nice but can get snappy if you dont understand something. Email her questions instead of asking in class she gets impatient.
