This class is not too bad if you just pay attention ... and it's hard not to. Mmm, mmm those cowboy boots really do it for me!

Dr. Cook does a very good job in relating the material to things in which you can relate to yourself. He definitely knows what he is talking about, and does a great job of making sure you have the resources to pass the class with a good grade if you apply yourself.

This professor must really enjoy his job. He makes the subject very interesting through his power point and his detailed discussions. He will give you examples of real life issues which help wih remembering the material. He gives great practice exams and detailed learning objectives. What can I say he is a great teacher.

soft spoken, precious man. he is middle aged and you can tell that he is passionate about psychology and understanding humans and also seems like he is a great dad. he provided power points and practice tests that made his class very feasible. some of the practice test questions are on the test! so pay attention to those! great guy :)

really good professor he knows his stuff. gives a lot of pop quizes though he does that so people wont ditch class then adds them all up for a test grade at the end of the semester. just dont mess up and take him at 8:00 in the morning like i did!

He was such a great teacher, even at 8 in the morning he was easy to understand and made things interesting. He really cares about you. And if you deserve a good grade, youll get it.

great

Great professor who really knows his stuff. Its also very helpful that he relates each and every piece of material to a real-life situation or event. If you stay on task, you'll get a good grade in this class.

Personality theories is kind of hard at times but he is a good teacher.

One of the best teachers I have ever had.

I really enjoyed this class. Its not an easy class. He describes it, intro to psych was math, personality theories is algebra. Hes very a very interesting person to talk to.

I love Dr. Cook - he is an awesome teacher and person.

Good teacher, a little dull but if you're interested in the subjects it's not too bad.

Although his teaching style is slightly dry, his personality in the office is absolutely brilliant. He will always help you if you show the potential that you want to pass his class with a certain grade. Many extra credit opportunities are given throughout the course, especially on the exams because they are so abstract. I had a great time with him

Dr. Cook is one of the greatest professor that I ever had. He know what hes talking about, hes funny, and he loves teaching personality theories. His class is easy and so is the test, if you pay attention in his class. He is extremely helpful, he gives you MANY opportunities to make up exams and assignments, which 99% of professors doesn't do.

Awesome class. Just do the test objectives and you can make an A on every test.

He is very easy, just study the vocab throughout the chapter and over look the practice tests he gives at the beginning of the year and you'll pass easily. No homework. Just two projects that you have all semester to do. EASY A.

Easy to understand, fair standards/expectations kept class interesting. Plenty of time to do the 2 assigned projects (don't be late), no other homework (only reading the book & reviewing the practice exams). Attend class, listen, take notes/highlight text, review the prac. exams and get an A. Offered extra credit project if you are so inclined.

Really good proffesor. Kinda dry sense of humor but a good teacher. Just listen to him in class and study the handouts before the test and it should be easy A.

Very easy and very very organized. As long as you do the work you will pass.

easy class,except for lots of homework that takes forever to do.

Very easy course. There is a lot of homework but it is easy. Cook makes this fast track course fly by pretty quick. As long as you attend class and do the homework should be a easy A.

Dr. Cook is an awesome instructor! Had him for Psych Statstics and explained the material real well and made sure we understood. Has tests in testing center and open book! Can retake the tests and takes the best grade! Some of his powerpoints didn't match up with what he had but didn't use them anyway. You do need to go to class to keep up with the material and Does grade on attendance!

Dr Cook is a great professor. He is very clear on what he expects you to know. Uses practice handouts during classtime, and reviews the process to complete the problems from start to finish. Open book exams in the test center, and option to retake if needed. Couldn't have been any better!

Dr Cook is a very nice man, and an excellent teacher. If you do poorly in his class it is your own fault, because Dr. Cook will give you every opportunity to succeed.

He is great, probably the best teacher I have ever had. He really explains thing to be sure you understand.

Really nice guy. He gave everyone all semester a chance to retake every exam. Also, he gave an extra 4 points on all exams, if you took an exam in class the day it was assigned. Easy "A" take him if you can.

Dr. Cook is an amazing instructor and is willing to help if you ask.

He's a very nice prof. He's also very helpful and understandable. Psychology is not my favorite, but I still got an A

THis guy is great! He is a realist, understands that people have a life outside of college and gives his students realistic expectations. So helpful and prob a lil too helpful hahaha. He has a lot of funny stories and can relate almost anything into something that everyone will understand. highly recommend this one!

he is the best

I don't care what class you have him for, he is amazing! He is helpful, understanding, and thorough! I wish he taught everything!! Take him!!

I took Dr. Cook's Personality Theories class. What an amazing prof!!! He teaches the class in a relaxed atmosphere and simplifies everything so his students understand the material. He has great humor and excellent manner. I could not recommend him enough!!

I took his personality theories class and it totally rocked! the test can be a little hard but his class is so much fun! he rocks and is very helpful!

I will just continue on with all of the wonderful things to say about Professor Cook! He is fabulous! He teaches in such a calm atmosphere and relates well to his students. He seems to get along well with everyone! Take this Prof whenever you can!!

Loved this professor. Very helpful. A lot of paper work in his class but prepares you for the test. Definitely would recommend!

Dr. Cook was very clear and thorough. He told you what he was going to do the first day of class and he did it! He was honest and funny and very professional. Would highly recommend.

Dr. Cook provides a solid lecture style of teaching. Great for a survey class. Most of the grade comes from online homework and quizzes, and the in-class tests. He allows for one attempt to retake each test. He gives some examples from his previous clinical psychologist experience. Not a good choice for an 8am class as it does get boring.

Fantastic teacher. Very funny. I had him for Personality Theories and enjoyed his class. He ties in his life stories. Test are off his power points. You will need the book though because of his chapter assignments. Overall, my favorite teacher this semester.

Very helpful and very easy if you come to class and do the work!!! Had him for Ethics and personality!!!! I would tk him for any psychology classes, he knows what he is teaching, and enjoys what he teaches!!!! Thank you Dr. Cook keep up the great work!!! Oh yes, the ties are great!!! :) Serrano.

Professor Cook is one of those professors that goes out of his way to make sure students understand the material, he explained the material in a way that wasn't too "technical" waving in funny movies or pics to help you remember the information! Would take his class again!

Awesome Professor

Best professor ever!!!

Good Course. Textbook mandatory for 'connect' assignments. Attendance not required for A. Exams and other grades based off connect assignments; Dr. Cook teaches outside the scope of exams. Interesting and enjoyable class. Easy A.

He's very organized, skilled in his field and helpful. He's understanding of his students and clear about what he expects from you.Your grade is based off of Connect homework from the textbook, which is EXTREMELY important. He does give opportunities for bonus, lectures from a power point, emphasizing the things you need to know for each exam.

Very good teacher, it should be easy to make a good grade if you attend lectures every day and study. He teaches well and explains any questions, and offers ways to improve your grade. Great teacher

Teacher was great in all areas. Easy to make an A if you go to class and listen. Does a great job of explaining concepts, clarifying and answering questions. In class group assingments are effective while being easy. Includes personal anecdotes about his life and understanding of concepts which really helps to understand and remember material.

I enjoyed this class because it gave a great overview of psychology. It seemed to hit a lot of the high points and gave those that are continuing on in psychology a great foundation.

Good Course. Not that hard. Well organized. Covered a lot of material.

Dr. Cook is a great professor. He's clear about what he wants up front and has the patience of a saint. He understands that life gets in the way sometimes too. You'll use the text a lot, as each chapter has objectives tacked onto it, but if you do them they really help studying for the tests. I would absolutely sign up for another of his classes!

He understands the students needs in class.

Professor was well-prepared & knowledgable of all subject material. From first to last day he maintained an interest and enthusiasm for his job and students. As with all instructors, I would challenge him to stay on schedule with the syllabus so the last module isn't rushed. A great instructor overall. Fair & fun.

Well organized. Covered a lot of material.

Dr. Cook was very knowledgable on all material covered and provided a clear understanding of the material needed for being successful in this course.

Dr. Cook is a great teacher. I learned the material quite well from his lectures. I wish he would have enforced a more strict attendance policy for other students, but it's not his fault they are lame. Did not read the textbook once after the 2nd out of 5 exams. Still got an A

Wonderful class, interesting material, the professor is very knowledgable about the subject.

Dr. Cook is a very good professor. This class is enriching to ones' self, educational, and leaves room to explore. A must have class for all.

You definitely need the book for this class! There are weekly learning objectives over the chapter you're studying straight out of the book. As long as you attend class, participate in discussion, & study the learning objectives you should have no problem passing! I really enjoyed this course and the professor. Some extra credit available too!

Definitely need textbook! I did not listen much in class, but still got an A. You'll be spending a lot of time on the homework and the online quizzes. He gives plenty extra credit, even for on-time attendance. He is helpful on informing grades. Very organized teacher. Tests exactly like quiz and homework questions.

Made this class easy and has interesting lectures. Easy A

He has examples of everything he talks about in lecture and is very considerate with extra credit. He made this class easy and makes the material easy to understand.

Great professor! Very upfront about what needs to be done. Explains everything in a way that you can understand! As long as you keep up with the online homework and study you'll do great.

Professor Cook is a really good professor and I would highly recommend this class. It is super easy and an easy A. Cook does a very good job at explaining material and he gives a good amount of extra credit. I think his class is extremely easy and I don't even really have an interest in psychology.

Had Dr. Cook for personality theories. Wonderful and knowledgeable professor. Clear, concise, and VERY ORGANIZED. He followed his syllabus precisely and made sure students were on track and up to date with EVERYTHING. If I could take Dr. Cook again for another class I most definitely would.

Dr.Cook seems to know everything about everything. He is a creative person, and an amazing psy resource due to his background and career history. His requirements for the course are clearly laid out and easy to follow. If you read the text you will do well in the class. Also, in comparison to another class from him, this class was far more relaxed.

Dr cook , is a very organized person , with his rich background you can understand easy the materiel, do you homework and quizes, and you will get an easy A, i really appreciate his class and i recommend it for future student, he is #1 at OCCC

Professor Cook is an awesome instructor. Very clear with his course intentions. Follows his syllabus very accurately. Be sure to study the outlines and do the LO's for the chapters selected. Follow the guidelines and you should do very well in the his class

Professor Cook is an awesome instructor. Very clear with his course intentions. Follows his syllabus very precisely. Be sure to study the outlines and do the LO's for the chapters selected. Follow the guidelines and you should do very well in the his class

Great professor. He knows is materials and explains everything a lot better than the book. His tests were basically vocab definitions/scenarios. Some questions were based off of hw and quiz questions. There is at least 50 pts of extra credit. He will work with you if you need to reschedule a missed hw or quiz due date. Super EASY A.

Dr. Cook was a phenomenal teacher! I understood his lectures 100%, and found it very easy to stay interested in class. As long as you follow his syllabus guidelines, it will be VERY easy to make an A! I would recommend this professor for anyone. I truly enjoyed his class.

His teaching is based on years of experience in psychology, so you get more than what is on the powerpoint and in the book. If you have questions about the class or psychology in general, he is available and eager to help. Interested in you as a student learning and enjoying psychology. I wish I could take another class with him.

I am a foreign language person. I mean that I do not know lots of words especially expressions in particular courses in English. I explain his method of teaching, and you decide. I got A and I liked his class because he used examples and videos, so remembering definitions and expessions was so easy. (Use his class, do not miss a real teacher)

Taught with many examples from 20+ yrs working in psychology. Answered questions knowledgeably and in an easy to understand manner. Interested in student success. Made lectures fun, great humor and videos. Seemed busy, but available for office hours if needed. Little email contact but gave everything to succeed in class so no outside contact needed

Book work due every week (it's a good cushion for your grade so do it!) Gives extra credit. Tests every couple weeks. Prof prints off PowerPoint slides for you to use at your disposal. Quirky sense of humor. Keeps it interesting (for the most part).

Incredibly organized! Lots of opportunities to make easy points. All tests available to be re-done if grade is not satisfactory.

Can't speak highly enough of this professor. The homework is online and it's not hard AT ALL, just take the time to do it. The tests aren't too bad, and I thought his lectures were always about as interesting as he could make them. He's understanding and extremely helpful.

Dr. Bruce Cook is an excellent professor. He is very understanding of students who need time to adjust to his class and knows that people have work and other classes they are dealing with. Lectures are amazing and he gives great real-world examples of different aspects and situations that involve behavior and mental processes.

He gives you notes to his slides and he lectures from his slides all hour. Occasionally it gets long and drags out. Teaches well. Easy A.

Professor Cook is an amazing professor. His lectures are also very useful. The class is set up in such a way that if you do the work and follow his criteria you'll get an A in the class. Do the extra credit paper and stay on top of the homework, it doesn't take too much time. If you don't get an A or B in this it's literally because you didn't try.

Prof Cook is very clear in the expectations from the first day of class. He gives extra credit opportunity, AND on more than one occasion he allowed for extra time to complete homework. He also allowed for a retake of all tests, if you wanted to improve your score. If you fail this class, you didn't try.

Professor Cook was an excellent Intro to Psychology instructor. He has worked in the field for many years prior to teaching, so he demonstrates an extensive amount of knowledge and has many examples to share over the course material. I was glad to have taken his class and I can't wait to take him for other psychology courses.

He is a good teacher, but sometimes takes forever to explain one thing... I am fine with the reading; however, I just wish he'd give us objectives for the test. I mean I studied all sections, thinking, all the materials were needed, but only a few sections were referred to on the test. I understood from reading, but I wish he had given specifics.

Amazing professor, truly wants you to pass with an A and gives you ALL the opportunities to get it. This is college, so don't expect that you can slack and pass. The homework is ESSENTIAL to your grade; skip a few, and you will get a B or lower. Homework are completion grades, tests are easier than the homework (retakes allowed), know the vocab.

He teaches so well that you don't need a book...

I had Cook for my first college class as a junior in high school and it was defiantly worth it! He gives great examples and makes the material easier to understand. His tests are extremely easy if you read the book. My favorite professor so far!!!!! Defiantly a great choice to take his class

Dr. Cook did an excellent job of making this course interesting. He always provided lots of concrete examples that really brought these abstract principles to life. Over an eight week class he also took several hours out of his personal time to converse with me. I can't wait to take more of his classes!

Dr. Cook is full of knowledge and I wouldn't mind having him as a professor again.

Took as an 8wk course. You'll need the book, current version not necessary. Skim the book, know the power points and it's an easy A. DO the connect quizzes, it's easy points. Uses the whole time to lecture but he makes it interesting. Extra credit paper can be done but pay attention and you shouldn't need to do it.

Dr. Cook is a great professor! Psychology is a bit of a challenging class so don't expect it to be easy, but it's not hard either. He does a good job at explaining things, if you study and do the homework you should make an A. He give some extra credit but not much.

Mr. Cook was probably by far the best professor I had in my entire college career in OCCC! His lectures were very easy to listen to and he explained things in a way you understood the material. His tests are somewhat hard, but will help you prepare for them. He gives out activities which are an easy 100 and extra credit. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!

I really enjoyed this class and loved his lectures. If you do your online homework, come to class, and pay attention the you should have no problem. He even gives extra credit which is nice.

He's kind of strict when he makes a rule for his class for not doing this and that in his class, but he just want students to focus on materials. He cares to students when a part of students do not do assignment on Connect. His slide is very interesting. Give the third attempt quiz. Overall, if you fail in class, it's your fault.

Dr. Cook is a fantastic professor. His class is a lecture/test format with very little homework. The tests in this class are NOT hard as long as you listen intently to the lectures and complete the homework assignments. If you are planning to become a future mental health practitioner, I would almost label his classes as "mandatory".

Wow!!, Dr cook is the best professor i have ever taken OU and OCCC. He explains things with so much knowledge and makes things interesting. It thought taking this class at a community college would be dumn but i was wrong. His leatures allow you to be prepared for exams which are multiple choice. Recommend to all people. Online HW helps. 10/10!

Dr. Cook's intro to psychology is a must if you have to take it. He gives several applications to daily life instead of just definitions right out of the book so it's easier to learn. He cares about his students. He does take attendance but with him you wouldn't want to miss a lecture. There's quite a bit of work but it's interesting and easy.

Dr. Cook is interesting and is well qualified to teach. I highly suggest taking any of his classes offered. His lectures are engaging and easily understood for students. I enjoyed the class

Dr. Cook is an exceptional professor. He demonstrated his ability to communicate by teaching the course material in a way that amplified our understanding as students by using personal experience and hypothetical situation. His system of grading is upfront and simple. He also sets an example by acting responsibly throughout the semester.

Dr. Cook is probably one of the best professors on campus. Awesome lectures, had class from 8:00 am to 10:30 am and he was able to keep the auditory interested in the topic. He has a real life experience (was counseling), so it make it more interesting. Papers-no , HWs Qzzs online, test do hw and go to lecture get A, extra credit- yes.

Dr. Cook is an amazing to have! During his lectures he give many different examples to get the point across. If you do not understand something while he is teaching, he is more than willing to explain this topic to you so that you can go home prepared for your homework. This professor is very good at getting back to you in a timely manner also.

Thus far, Dr. Cook is quite an intelligent and understanding professor. He can't be any more forgiving than letting you retake exams. Not only that, he let everyone make up work from the past two units. Lectures are great and he goes beyond to show what is more than likely going to be on a test as well as give many elaborations on key concepts.

Great class and professor. Tests are difficult so get ready to study!!! He knows his stuff and expects you to also

My favorite professor! He is very understanding and is easy but teaches very well! His exams aren't too difficult but you'll need to study! He hands out PowerPoint notes! No need to read a lot

he is an amazing teacher . i learned a ton from his class.

This class is an easy A. For only having the class 1 time a week there is a lot of reading and questions you must answer every week.

Professor Cook was a fantastic teacher. his lectures are amazing and clear. Be prepared to read the textbook!

I took his class a year ago. He is funny, kept me interested in learning.

This is truly one of the best classes I've ever taken! Lectures were long, but not boring at all. I never dreaded going!

Hes a good professor. Do the homework though, it will kill your grade if you dont.

He is an absolutely amazing professor! He gives examples he's had in life and even brings visuals to help us remember. He is a great communicator and makes sure you have everything you need to pass, including printing out the entire powerpoint to have. He gives out two versions of exams so if you fail once you can try again. I love his class!

Dr. Cook is a great Professor. Taking Personality Theories with him is a great choice for Psych Majors, his lectures are easy to follow, he gives you a handout for each unit, and his tests are pretty easy. You can learn a lot from him.

He was really funny and I liked him a lot. HE DOES NOT HAVE A FINAL EXAM!!!!

Dr Cook is a funny guy! I really enjoyed his class. Make sure to read the book and stay on top of assignments. Test were pretty easy and you can retake them. Scholarly paper was pretty easy. I really enjoyed Dr Cook and his class. My only complaint is that I wish the powerpoints were available online.

Theres always one professor that stands out to me every semester and this semester it was Dr. Cook! He gives great examples when explaining something so its way easier to understand. I would definitely take his class again. Just be sure to do all your connect and STUDY, thats the best guarantee to passing this class.

Cook is an amazing professor who really cares about his students. I had him as an instructor in the summer - 2 1/2 hour lectures - but he managed to keep my attention the entire time! He makes his lectures interesting, relatable, and very easy to understand. If you have even the slightest chance to take him, DO IT!

Professor Cook is very passionate about psychology and it certainly shows. He is a clinical psychologist, he has sat on state boards, and he gives the best lectures I've ever had the pleasure to attend. So good in fact, that he's inspired me to pursue a career geared towards psychology! If you want an A just do the homework and pay attention!

He is very organized and practical. Honestly he is my favorite teacher so far. Ive taken two of his classes so far. They aren't super easy classes but he is so organized you know exactly what to expect. You'll learn a lot from him especially if your a Psych or Social work major

Professor Cook is a great teacher. Homework assignments due every week on the chapter you read every week. Quizzes every beginning of class. It's a easy A if you do the material. I got a high B because, I missed assignments and was too lazy to turn them in. The material is interesting and worth it to learn! Awesome class. Definitely take Pro. Cook.

Professor Cook's class has been one of my favorites so far, if not my absolute favorite. The stuff you read about will make you think really hard and I love that they're things you wouldn't think about unless prompted. There was a good amount of work that needed to be done, but it was all very easy to do and helped make the tests easy. 10/10!!!!

I took the hybrid class and Dr. Cook was a great professor and his lectures made learning the content very easy. The only reason I give him a 4 out of 5 is because one time I emailed him for help and he just never responded. However I still got an A in the class so no hard feelings.

I did an 8-week hybrid class with Dr. Cook he is a fantastic Professor; I 100% recommend him. He is very good at communicating, setting expectations, and providing you with the tools to succeed. If you pay attention, participate in class, and do the required reading you'll be fine. He's very informative so make sure to take notes or record classes.

Prof. Cook was a really good teacher, psychology was a very interesting material to learn, and he made it fun to learn about. I took this class as an 8 week and I was veryyy time consuming, since there is a lot of material cover. Still, he made a schedule that helped the class remember due dates, and assignments. Don't be shy to ask questions!

Show up, do the 100% completion homework, don't blow the webcam exam. Easy A. First prof. I've learned ware more from his model than the tired click it and forget it homework they make every faculty use. Lectures are great. Shares his powerpoints. Treats the awkward incest stuff maturely and injects the right amount of funny to take the edge off.

Prof. Cook is a great instructor who makes psychology engaging. The class has a lot of material, but he provides helpful tools like a schedule to stay on track. Definitely use unstuck study alongside the textbook for effective study prep.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He is awesome and intelligent. He was or is on the board of psychology so he actually knows the process for being a psychologist. Super nice and funny just definitely take his class for intro to psych!!
