Summer 2018 - You can tell Mary Corey wishes she was black as she walks around in her Rihanna Puma's using the N word every other sentence. Well that was in her class from Spring quarter. In this class she complained about the sensitive students who couldn't handle history (black people are getting called the N word and being shot almost everyday. This isn't just history, this is the present struggle of many Americans, and there are consequences to using words like this.) and then managed to refer to everything as "retarded," and complain about "trigger warnings" saying she does not believe in them for her classes despite the fact that two veterans with PTSD once ended up hospitalized from a book she forced them to read. Apart from that, her lectures make little sense and it really makes me wonder what this schools standards are. Pathetic. Mary Corey you've aged too badly to ever be black. Just accept it. You're the whitest person I've met in my life. If you need a history course take Teo Ruiz before he retires- he is a brilliant professor who fought for his education. Or take Nile Green whose passion is contagious and expertise shines through in his lectures. Or take Geoffrey Robinson whose lectures are more engrossing than any action movie I've ever watched and will make you want to join the peace corps tomorrow. Well maybe she's here to even things out a little bit because there's still some brilliant minds in this department.

Worst professor I've had at Ucla. Not only are her lectures all over the place and unorganized BUT after having a B+ after the midterm, she FAILED me on my final because she thought I took it too fast. I expected to get an A after taking the final (studied and was prepared) and when I saw a C+ as my overall grade I went in to speak to her thinking it was mistake. She basically mocked me and made me feel terrible claiming "she knows students like me" who just want to take the final and leave as quickly as possible. (PS. I had a 3.89 before her class) It was my second quarter ever at Ucla and it was traumatizing! I have never had this type of experience with any other professor before or since! I said avoid her classes if you can!
