Awesome teacher.

super!! awesome, nobody like him. All you have to do is go to class, and you will learn,have fun and be amazed of everything he says.
Very Boring
he is the bomb!sports fan. gets you into history. i hated history till i got his class.
He is amazing. He has so much knowledge and so much passion that you will be in total awww! Take any of his classes no matter what you think of history classes in the past...you'll be back for more!
Great teacher! I had him for AMH2020 and he was excellent!
best history teacher you will EVER have. it doesnt matter how much you like history. it'll be like going to the movies for free 3 times a week.
excellent teacher very intelligent knows what he's talking about, just brilliant,very interesting never a dull moment
Very descriptive, very intellegent. Awesome class, makes you look forward to the next class every time! I wish I could re-take the class over and over and over and over, I should stop now, You get my drift. Highly recommended!!!!!!!
Super Intelligent, great professor! It is as if he's met the important historical figures. He is so passionate about his craft, He gets you excited and leaves you wanting more info! One of the best teachers I've had in this school
He is great. I always thought history was boring but with him, i find it interesting. He makes me look forward to go to his class.
History was actually interesting with him... but you have to go to class in order to pass it because you have to take notes.
Great professor!!! He brings history to life and makes you want to go to class and learn. Only you hav eto write notes.
He is amazing...He makes u want to just go to class and listen to him, the only thing is that u have to wirte notes but his class is totally worth the writing.
best history teacher you will ever have, makes history interesting, you just need to take notes, no essays or research works. very recomneded
The best history teacher ever! His lectures are capturing and seems as if he was actually there and is just telling a story. The textbook isn't even necessary, just listen to his lectures and you'll do fine. He is wonderful & hot for an old man!
VERY GOOD TEACHER, his lectures are very interesting, and the only thing you have to do is take notes.
This is just about the hottest old man on the planet. His lectures were so captivating and powerful.... and he is just telling the facts. Listening to him was all you really need to pass the class. Take good notes and you got the A in your hands.
The worse teacher I have ever had!! His tests are not multiple choice, all he does is sit in a chair and lecture, you have to write your life away in that class, there are only 2 tests so if you fail one you are screwed!!!
his class is hard! the test are fill in the blank, he isn't helpful doesn't tell you what chapters to read out of the book. don't take him if you don't like history if you do then take him his a good story teller
Ok first off im critcing these two losers that went off and dare to speak badly of the prof. All you have to do in his class is pay attention, his tests are SOLELY ON HIS LECTURES!you are granteed an A if you go to class, and listen! ITS COLLEGE HELLO!
I think he is one of the best teachers left in MDC. You dont need a book to pass the class. you just take notes. His lectures are the best. You wont get a better history teacher than him in all MDC.
his an okay teacher his test are alittle hard.there are only 2 exams but, a final which is optional and which can help your grade. don't take him in the summer its alot to take in!
The absolute best teacher I have ever had!!!
This is the BEST History teacher!!! What sounds like a boring class becomes interesting with this man. He lays off assignments and relies on his great storytelling skills.
The most influential teacher I have had. Exellent professor, would recommend to all! This class will encourage you to learn and is very exciting (especially for a class)...
I'm sorry but for whoever didn't pass this class or thought it was hard is in fact a slacker. Kos is with out doubt a great teacher. The best i've had at this college. Pay attention to his stories and you will pass, if you don't, there's something wrong with you.
He is the best professor in the entire college. Makes you interested in the subject of history and its like your sitting in a movie theater the entire time. The best part is that you dont even have to buy a book and he definitely knows his stuff
No Comments
Very knowledgeable. Ivy League material. AWESOME!
Mr. Cox is an Excellent Professor, not only because he's great teaching but also, dedicated to his job. I was in his class when his only son passed away, he kept teaching our class, for him it didn't matter how much pain he felt at that moment, the most important for him was to Teach. HE'S THE BEST
This guy is a guru at story telling. Really gets into it, knows his stuff very well. Just dont take him in the summer to much crap to remember although he does let you have 1 page full of notes to help out.
He is an amazing teacher! You don't need a book, just make sure to take good notes and pay attention (which isn't hard to do because he's a great story teller.)
GREAT hiSTORY TELLER! amazing class! take good notes and youll be ready for his exams. EXELENTE!!
best story teller you will ever meet,take a class with him. You will not regret it.
He really knows his stuff. DEFINITELY take this class with Cox! He makes you laugh, he sparks your interest (and I know b/c I hate history, but I enjoyed it with him), and he's a good looking man, considering his age.
Great Professor
He's the best! I love his class. Great story teller. He makes the class interesting.
Can anyone explain to me WHY he is SO great ? He's OK, but I don't get what makes him so superb. He tells stories all right, but please, aren't you going a little overboard???
Very good teacher. I dont even notice that I'm in his class for an hour and 15 mins cause he tells his story so great that time flies. Even lets you have breaks!! Good teacher, just know your material.
I took world history and american history with him and both classes were amazing. He's probably the best professor I have had. He really knows his stuff and you can tell when he lectures that he really loves teaching.
the best story teller and he definetly will keep you intrested and wnating to go to school for those of which it is a challenge to go to school every day
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had!!!! Great guy!!!
HE IS GOD OF ALL HISTORY PROFESSORS. He is easy and his class is very interesting. If only all profs were like him , it would make college more fun. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!YOU MUST TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Very good teacher. Speaks excellent and even though he lectures all his classes, you never get bored (unless you dislike history and maybe not even then. Let's you take one page of notes for his tests. Believe me if you study you will pass.
God Bless this man.. We need more teachers like him that can make your life easier.. Where are they when you need them.
One of the best teachers I have ever taken. His lectures were great and you really get alot out of them... He is also very down to Earth and makes you enjoy being in his class.
AMAZING! He brings Caesar back for class. He doesn't just tell history, history lives in him. It's a first hand account. We watch as each person comes to life. And after class I stop by his office to learn about life.
Amazing, two thumb up, captures your minds and places you back into history. It's unbelieveable that scholars like Dr. Cox are still around. The best professor in the whole MDC Colleges.
THIS IS THE GREATEST TEACHER EVER!! He has such a passion for what he teaches. His lectures are extremely entertaining. I don't really like History, but I was very interested in his lectures.
great teacher
If you must take a history Cox is the professor to take it with I have been in classes that are full and midway throuh semester they empty out not Cox the classes are so full and stay full if your late you will have to sit on the floor best professor ever
He is a Fantastic professor, I totally love him he is amazing and easy, but is the way he teaches that capture you back in time and you feel as I you were there watching history enfold in front of you eyes. Professor Cox you are the best of the best. i ALSO TOOK amh2020
I don't have words to express about this teacher. He is extraordinary, fantastic, amazing, I LOVE YOU!!!! Mr. Cox.
IF YOU NORMALLY HAVE A HARD TIME WITH HISTORY THIS IS THAT MAN TO GO TO!!!!! HE IS THE BEST TEAHCER I HAVE HAD AT MDC. YOU MUST TAKE THIS CLASS.
I HAD NEVER MET SOMEBODY WHO LOVED WHAT THEY DID FOR A LIVING UNTIL I MET PROFESSOR COX. IF YOU WANT TO REALLY LEARN HISTORY I SUGGEST YOU TAKE HIM, YOU ARE MISSING A LOT IF YOU DON'T TAKE HIM. DR. COX IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IN MIAMI DADE COLLEGE.
I have to say he wasa great professor, he didn't use the book..acutally he told us not to buy it. He lectured off the top of his head but it was fun and accurate. He only does a midtern and a final and you can bring in a cheat sheet (1pg worth) to the test. I hate history with a passion and I learned so much and it was interesting.
Good teacher, not the best attitude or views but very passionate.
OHH MY GOD!!! I love this guy, Dr. Cox is the best teacher in this school, we need more teachers that have such a passion for teaching... He saved us so much money but not purchasing the text book, trust me take him you'll see why ppl take this class...
Extraordinary- Amazing! The best story teller I have ever encountered. He made history fun and interesting...He definitely knows his material. He's really a cutie too!!!!!The most fun I have had at school thus far. Best of the teachers!
This professor makes the class fun and interesting. He is a very good professor. Before I took the class, I didn't like history.
He is probably one of the best teachers at Dade!
easy as highschool history and he is VERY animated
WOW THIS GUY IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD. IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND TAKING HIS CLASS JUST GO FOR ONE DAY AND YOU WILL SEE HOW THIS PROFESSOR IS THE BEST ONE THAT YOU WILL EVER HAVE!! HE IS GREAT!! AND HE IS SO POLITE! :)
Best teacher i ever had, and i am an engineering student...lol. If i could i would take more classes with him.
Excellent lectures. Teaches history as if he lived, and talks about historical figures as if he knew them. Simple, direct tests. Selects quality texts. The best MDC has to offer.
Every class is a performance, and its great. Always interested.
Iyf you want to go back into time the take a class with him. Extremely passionate and if you don't like history you will after you take his class. I highly recomend him
This is the best teacher i ever had... if you didnt like history before you will like it after taking him. tests are multiple choice and a few open answer, but you can have a page of notes. take notes during class cause you have to turn that in at the end of the semester. best teacher at MDC. you wont regret taking his class!! <3
awesome lectures DETAILS
Unbelievable!!!Without a shadow of a doubt the best proffesor i've ever had. Even if your not in his class go and listen to the lectures, they will blow your mind and make you feel as if you were right there with Achilles, Hector, Leonidas it's amazing I truly recommend this class.
one of the best teachersss in miami dade, awesome lectures!
the best teacher i ever had...she should run for government office
Need I say more? Cox is a great professor. To date, the best class(es) I've taken. Lots of note taking, although he most of the time says... “Don’t write; this is for free.” What a character, funny guy too. Attend class, and let this storyteller bedazzle you.
The reviews are true, he is a good teacher His lecture are like having to sit through great war films. Huge amount of note-taking, though, but he does tell you what and what not to write. Has some funny jokes every now and then too. You will have a better appreciation of history after just a few classes. HIGHLY recommended.
Best teacher ever.
This is the best professor ever!!! I hated history until I took his class. There is lots of notes, but sometimes he just gives info for free. His class made me feel as if I was part of that history. He is extremely passionate about the subject and someway somehow he transmits his feelings to his students. I have never had better professor than him.
i HATE history but loved his class. However, he only sits and talks so take good notes. AWESOME professor. Take him
This is the best teacher.. he sits down and knows history so well its like telling you a story. you get into these stories and you do take alot of notes but he lets you use them in the tests. hes great i love history after he taught me.
THE BEST HISTORY TEACHER YOU WILL EVER HAVE!!!He has such a passion for the subject and he knows his stuff. take notes and review for the test and ur good to go.. dont takew the test for granted tho..make sure u know names. ;)im taking him next term for woh 2012 :) SEE YA NEXT TERM!!!
Probably one of the best teachers I have ever had. He defintely knows the subject material, and will even discuss some lesser known topics that people have trouble on more clearly. PLus, he lets you use notes on a test. He is probably the ebst teacher you could have for history.
Im almost done with school and in all 4 years, he has been my favorit. I usually hate history, but I actually took 2 of them just because I wanted to take another class with him. It feels like your dad or grandfather telling you bed time stories. He has a passion for what he teaches. A wonderful guy all around.
the best teacher at dade...you will learn alot...he also let you use notes on the test so take real good notes and you will get an A in the calss...
He is the best professor in this state! He truly knows what he is talking about and he brings the stories to life. I could never stay awake in any history class but I can't get enough of this one. I fully recommend him if you want to learn in the best way possible.
Awesome teacher. He presents everything clearly, he cares about the progress of his students, and will do whatever he can to help you pass. I took 2 classes with him and they were both easy A's. As long as you take good notes or bring a recorder, then you'll have no problems in his class.
great person, and an excellent teacher
This man is a great teacher. He is very nice and all but do not be fooled by him. He is very impatient and not very understanding at times. Make sure you have all your notes ready for the test and do well or it might reflect on your grade.
The greatest teacher EVER!!! He is very understanding, extremely easygoing and quite possibly the best lecturer. His tests come straight from your notes (which he lets you use). I don’t see how anyone can fail his class.
His class is farely simple, but instead of making us write 2000 words for course, he decided it would be better at 16,000 words for the 6 week course! i disagreed and tried to tell him. he basicly said get out. *******! my recommendation, drop this class.
By far the best teacher EVER. His lectures draw you in to the point where if you catch yourself, you'll see the rest of the class just staring at him in awe, completely forgetting to take notes. He really knows his stuff and is a master at captivating his audience. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Dr. Cox is the Greatest Teacher I have ever come across, He is clear helpful and genuine, he allows you to turn in your notes instead of writing any papers, he then adds the notes grade to your final exam for extra credit he even allows a sheet of notes on all exams
if you can take this teacher do it... absoloutley phenomenal...tellls the best stories of all time great jokes and you actually learn the material...easy A...if you fail this class leave MDC
BRILLIANT!! HE is elegant, classy and interesting. You are allowed to use the notes you take in class for all his tests. If you want a easy A and you are a good note taker - TAKE THIS CLASS. You turn in your notes at the end of class for points instead of a research paper. Material is easy. Alot of note taking, but to your advantage. He is AWESOME
he really know what he is talking about and you could tell he loves history which makes the lecture very interesting and enjoyable to hear. his test are not hard if attend class and take note you'll do fine.
BRILLIANT!!!! Mr. Cox is funny, intelligent, classy and very passionate about history. He definitely knows history very well which made his class very interesting. If anyone is interested in History then you should definitely consider in taking his class. As long as you take really good notes and study you are guaranteed to pass his class with an A
This professor is amazing! I am still in his class this semester and I am really enjoying it! I have never liked History, but I am suddenly so interested. This professor is funny and makes the class interesting. He's also a pleasure to look at! LOL
He is a very smart man, knows everything from memory. You dont need the book for this class. Just make sure you attend class and take all the notes. I hardly ever went to class and got an A.
He's awesome! I've taken ISS and AMH with him, and I'm signed up for both WOH...he takes you back in time, makes jokes, gives cool facts.One of the best teachers ever!!!
Take note, easy A.
Dr. Cox is the BEST professor you will ever take. I was those type of lazy students in high school, however this professor is extremely intellectual with overall history. Humorous all the time--> he imitates all the Historians perfcetly and has no room for error! YOU MUST TAKE DR. COX'S CLASS BEFORE YOU GRADUATE!! :)
AWESOME TEACHER! Loved it. he just knows history like the back of his hand. He got me so in to class one day i almost cried, he always leaves you wanting more. he teaches class like if he was telling a story. i will never forget him!
Take this professor. He is really good, he always has a story to tell. His classes are not boring @ ALL. He does not require for you to be in class, but is good to attend b/c all the notes that you take in class will be on the test. You do not need to buy a book with him. I totally recomend him! that is an easy A.
very nice, funny and smart man. the only thing is that his tests are a bit hard, but if u go to class everyday and take notes, you should be fine. if u have to take a history class, take him! i'd take him again.
best professor ever!!! i love him!! he makes history interesting.
Took him several semesters back, but I must echo the sentiments of the other posts. This professor is awesome. He makes the subject even more interesting than it already is. His lectures are like stories and he's always willing to give his individual time to students. One of the best professors at the college, by far.
Interesting just to listen to. Very easy tests. Everything on the tests comes straight from the notes that you take in class, so don't miss any classes.
really good teacher . there is no way you can fail if you show up and take the notes. he is the best.
As advertized in the school newspaper, this professor is the best I've seen in a long time. He come from an old school of competent teaching, enthusiasm for his work, and a true love of his work. A Southern gentleman and a scholar, he brings the best out of his students without us even relizing it.
Best Professor Ever!!! Easy class and he keeps it extremely interesting
This class is for student who wish to ever go to a decent school. You are not catered for. You come to class, take notes, read and study and you get an A. I got an A and I was not the only one but everyone who did damn well earned it. One of my favorite professor of all time. I wish I will be half as cool as he is when I am his age.
NO way you can fail this class. Just go in everyday and take notes. Tests are not that hard. Great joker and story teller. You will not get bored in this class. Greatest teacher and actually KNOWS how to teach! Highly recommend. A+++++++
He is a gentleman and a scholar! I never had a professor who had a mastery of words when discussing a certain topic. He draws you in with imagry and allows your imagination to teach, along with unique Southern tone and knowledge.
This is by far the best teacher that I have ever had. There is no homework and only he only gives out 2 tests. If you take good notes, you should do fine on his exams. He lectures the whole semester but he tells history like a story. This guy knows his stuff! I definately recommend him!!
AMAZING!! Smartest and most knowledgable person I have ever encountered, I didnt ask but he had to have studied in Harvard or something like that, a gentleman, a sensitive, passionate, funny , caring human being! He loves his wife,history, tobbacco! You will be so into this class it'll scare you, plus he's funny and a gentleman!! A+++++

BRILLIANT! Passionate! HUMBLE! The perfect GENTLEMAN!! Clear, funny, kind, EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE and WITTY!!! He reenacts history and brings it to life! RECOMMEND!!!!!
Aweaome teacher if you go to class and listen to 1/10 of what he says you will pass
No Comments
Best professor ever! Even if you don't like history you will love his class!
A GOD AMONG MEN. I had him three times and my only regret is not taking him more. TAKE HIS CLASS BEFORE HE RETIRES! I not only learned A LOT about history, but I became a better person. I also recommend you to chat with him outside of class time. He is absolutely fascinating and always had me mesmerized.
Hands Down the Most Inspiring, and interesting class/teacher I have ever taken, Easy if u take notes and somewhat study for test, Ive take all his classes wish he offered more.
The man has class and teaches with a dignify manner. He makes you live history. You will enjoy this class, must take all your history classes with this man! (Applause) He is one in a BILLION!!
I feel honored to have had Prof. Cox for my history class. He is great, teaches with passion and makes you understand.... This professor is a PLUS! :)
Listening to this man is like having the most vivid images of history played over in your mind like a movie. I wished he had given more quizzes/tests for more evened out grading.
best professor BY FAR that i've ever had. changed my collegiate perspective. left a mark...
I LOVE THIS GUY....Best teacher i have ever had in my life, he made me smile everytime i went to school and had his class. i would fail his class only to hear him teach again. MUST TAKE!!! NOW!!! Interesting, Awesome a true scholar. made me realize how interesting is history
The best history teacher i've had in my entire life. Crystal clear, passionate, but please DONT talk while he is doing his amazing story-like lessons. Not only will he get mad but I assure you the rest of the class will glare at you! TAKE HIM you wont regert it
His name should be in the bible! He is God! Probably one of the most amazing people I have ever encountered..take him!
The most amazing and intelligent teacher I have ever had in my life! He will inspire you, make you laugh and he will make you cry! he is amazing! Take his class!! u will not regret it. I have enormous respect for this man, I hope one day I can be just half as good as he is. Genius.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriosuly get his class!
I hate history, but he really made the class interesting. He only gives 2 tests & no quizzes. Make sure to be in class to write down notes. I only missed 1 of his classes and I missed it. Everyone in class (20+) were always wide awake and listening to his wonderful way of teaching. He really makes class NOT boring at all!
I HATE HISTORY! But Dr. Cox makes you feel like if you were in that era, like he knew all those people. He has met quite a few of them and he makes History into a lovely tale. This is his last year here, so take him, especially if do not like history. The book is not required, I put that attendance is mandatory because you need to hear his lectures
Your grade is based on only 2 test and the notes you take so listen carefully. You will love him. TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM!!!!
Great guy, best professor ever. Very passionate about history and teaching,I really loved his class, if you pay attention and take lots of notes, will pass with an A. Take him he is amazing, his calss will make you a better person.
I was never a big fan of history, as a matter of fact, I hated history. After taking this class, however, I saw history as much more than just boring useless facts, it became an actual interesting story. This man teaches with such passion for this subject that you can't help, but love every minute of it. Take him. He's great!
this professor is terrible. all he does is lecture and asks that you write everything he says and at the time of the exam he barely asks questions related to the notes you take. He's full of himself and is not helpful at all. Don't take this professor I don't understand how he can have such great reviews.
As a child, I loved to hear bed time stories. With Dr. Cox, you never want the bed time story to end. you always want to know what happens next. He teaches with passion.
He might be a good story teller to some people. Just try memorized everything he says while taking other classes. You need build extra capacity in your head to memorize every detail. There is no write what you think is important. Just copy every second of what he says in your notebook.
Anyone who has something bad to say about him does not know how to listen. If you are the kind of person who learns by reading the text book, not through lectures, do not take him you will most likely fail. His class was pretty easy, and he had very intresting stories. His exams were open notes, and straight from his lecture.
There are very few people I meet in my life who I believe are one of a kind. This guy is one of them. You are an absoloute fool to not take any class he teaches. The guy is like a prophet, but not the holier than thou type, the extremly interesting and knowledgable type
AMAZING.
Awesome!!! Teaches history like you were there! No papers,just take notes to turn in at end of semester, a mid-term and a final. Highly recommended!!!
This class is extreamly difficult. If you do not want to ruin your GPA DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. You are expected to memorize every word he says and nothing he says is related to the book. I have no clue why he has good reviews I was fooled by the reviews and took the course. It was a horrible decision. I am used to getting A's in all my classes but
This class is extreamly difficult. If you do not want to ruin your GPA DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. You are expected to memorize every word he says and nothing he says is related to the book.I am used to getting A's in all my classes but I got an F for him. He only gives 2 tests all semester
People that are giving bad ratings to Dr. Cox are the ones that expect to have an A without doing anything. This is my second class with him, and will be honest you have to be in class, pay attention, and take good notes. He allow you to have a whole page full of notes for the test. Don't miss the opportunity to have a good teacher and gentleman.
Prof. Cox is what I call a "trap" my friends. History is a difficult subject I know but it is even more difficult when the instructor intimidates the students with unpredictable reactions. But maybe is because he is too old to deal with 30 students in a single class room. Hope you don't make the same mistake I did. Well I dropped his class on time.
I took a world history class in my second semester of college. At first we had another professor, but she was fired, and then he taught the class. The difference was amazing. This is one class you will remember for the rest of your life. EXPECT TO LEARN SOMETHING, if you are not willing to learn, don't even bother. He is GREAT
Wow. I learned a lot in this class. Prof. Cox is a wonderful speaker and will keep you very interested. I took the Summer A class. For 3.5 hours twice a week I was wide awake the whole time. Do not miss a class. As long as you take detailed notes and listen carefully you'll be fine. Tests based mostly on notes,still buy the book. Not a hard class.
Great speaker...definately helped when it came to tests (2-midterm & end of term test but u have an optional final in case u need to boost ur grade). He also gives extra points 4 note taking.I say take in summer cause it means less notes and details so i fit all my info on the front page of the paper he let us use for the test. Got an A!
Attendance isnt mandatory but i put it is cause you need to go to every class and get the notes or at least get it from someone or his assistant Flynn will burn you a cd of Cox's speeches if u ask. My class got lucky because he let his final be a take home test because he couldnt finish all he wanted to say in summer A(ran out of time). Got 100%!
He is all aboul lecturing. if you can take GOOD NOTES YOU WILL PASS. HE also has some guy who comes to class and helpd you with questions. If you miss a lecture he will give it to you in a cd format so you can listen to it. COX is nice and straight to the point. I got an 85 in his class (summer term).
Professor Cox is a very interesting teacher. He explains things like if he was telling you a story..how the person looked like, things that they went through, in other words, it's INTERESTING. I learned soooo much in his class, and he's a true gentlemen. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE GOOD NOTES, and don't miss class.
People who rate Prof.Cox bad are usually D-average kids who fail b/c they cannot BEAR the 2 tests, no reading and no HW(so much work!!)But seriously, amazing teacher I k people who take his classes SEVERAL times since they like so much his style.Extremely entertaining lectures!Take notes writing names.No dates! our class was all As&Bs.
This professor is HORRIBLE! and his assistant,Flynn needs to get a life. He gives 2 tests and expect for u to memorize them. Only half of his lecture is on his tests. I'm still disappointed. Because he told me I passed and when I saw my final grade I failed.
The best teacher ever, I have taken 2 classes with him and so far 2 A's, all you need is to take notes and you will pass the class with an A.
His lectures transport you to another world, hes very passionate about history which makes his classes amazing. He structures his lectures in a way which is very easy to write notes from which is ALL you need in his class to pass.
This professor is AMAZING. His lectures are so much fun! He is so passionate! I would take any other History class with him. Take good notes on names, countrys, and dates. Hes such a gentleman too! I totally loved him!
He loves to hear himself talk. I know ALOT about history and he does put in his own point of view when talking about events. It was an easy class.
VERY GOOD PROFESSOR. You will never be bored in his class there is a lot of note taking but you can record his lecture. I thought the class was going to be borning but the way he explains himself makes you feel like if you were there. Whoever says he is not good basically failed his class...
Professor Cox is so far the best professor I've taken in college!! His class is very interesting and I like how he makes it like a story. His tone of voice keeps you awake and you can tell by the way he talks he loves what he does and he cares for his students!! Take him if you really wanna learn!!!
Mr. Cox is a great professor. I have been taking him since I started college. I have taken every history course I need with him. It is definitely story telling and you must be focused when your attending class. You take lots of notes...but you learn! All bad reviews he recieves, are from students who expect to pass with out trying! He is worth it!
HE IS THE BEST .....VERY GOOD TEACHER A+++
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! In high school, I hated history. It was one of my worst subjects. His class inspired me to not only earn an "A," but also, enjoy the subject. Take him while you can. He's about to retire!
Hes awesome!!! his class is amazing and he is amazing. He is always telling his students stories, he is very passionate about what he teaches. Take him for a class youll love it AND YOU WILL WANT to take another class with him again .. He is the best professor in miami dade infact he is the best teacher in he world!!! A+++++++
Good teacher be ready to listen carefully!
Class a little boring but great professor!
Ok now i know he has a chili pepper and all, and some people here believe he is an outstanding professor, but in all honesty if you dont respond well to lectures and no powerpoints, or handouts then this is the class for u. I didnt like him at all because there was no book or anything. Sorry and im not a D/F student either. 3.8 G.P.A my friends.
His tests are easy, don't miss a day, study from the notes you take from his lectures and he is really funny and passionate about what he teaches. Great and funny guy.
interesting lectures feels like you're watching a movie. 2 tests plus an optional final he lets you use on sheet of handwritten notes on every test but still study HARD!! take lots of notes because he puts really random things on his tests...don't take if you just want an easy A.
what can i say, arguably the best professor at dade. i wish he taught every subject! he really shares his love and passion for history. very down to earth. 2 tests, thats it. do yourself a favor and take him
He is a nice professor. Very knowledgable and into his lectures. He does not use a book or powerpoints for the lectures. This class is based on the notes you take in his class so you have to go to every class. But he is very sweet and lectures in a way that makes you interested in the subject.
AWESOME TEACHER. The class is like sitting there and watching a documentary about government in the history channel. You wont miss a class. 2 tests and optional final. Curves test according to class, no book required!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! NO ONE IN THAT CLASS DAREd TO FALL ASLEEP! HE IS JUST THAT GOOD!!! I mean we are talking about a history class and no one falls asleeps? That has to ring a bell in your mind! THE GUY IS GREEEEAAAAT! AND NO BOoK NEEDED!!!
Amazing professor. A pity he is retiring and this will be his last semester. If you can take any of his classes. I got an easy A and was witness of a first-class teaching.
Simply an amazing teacher and wonderfully wise, interesting man. He's professional, wise, knows his stuff, and commands respect. Take good notes and you'll do great.
Great teacher! Has very interesting lectures, and is very easy to understand. He is pretty funny and very much down to earth. If you take good notes and attend class you should have no problem passing the class. He even gives a curve on the tests. h
An extremely good teacher. No book required, I passed by just taking notes from his lectures. The 2 tests I took were extremely easy; he allowed our class to use one page (front and back) on test days. He even curves the tests. His lectures are interesting and narrated (his tone of voice changes appropriately, based on the scenario).
Smart, Interesting, Sweet, Honest, Straight to the point, & Fair. **study for exams bc he is a bit tricky. No book required. if you are not a good note taker don't take this class.
GREAT PROFESSOR! I recommend him to anyone! Even if history isn't your forte he makes the class interesting, he is funny and you learn a lot! Attendance isn't required (but recommended) , No book needed, & No homework! He teaches solely on his lectures so take notes, & tells you whats going to be on exam - 2 exams Midterm & Final Great Prof!!
He is a geat professor.You "MUST TAKE NOTES" if you do not then listen to everthing he saids because t wil be on the testin total there were only two test and the final optional.The only bad ting is that he dosent say what to study exactly so i didnt do o good on the test but he stil gave me a C.
best teacher i have ever had.i'm not the best note taker and he is all lectures, i also had no intrest in the course, but he mad this class so intresting that i would look forward to going to class and gettig to know what he would talk about that day. no book, allows recording of lectures. don't miss class cause exame basses 100% on notes.
AMAZING! The Best professor by far! You learn so much and you do half the work most teachers make you do. I never really studied just skimmed by notes a day before exams because his lectures were so good they stuck with me! I mean he made me memorize even dates without even trying he's just that good. The man is a genius and incredibly sweet!
A true gentleman! Best professor in Miami. changed my outlook on education and is a true inspiration.
First college prof i have. its sad to see such a great man leave. Hope that half of the prof i encounter are true teachers as himself. He really cared for students to grasp the true concept through intresting lecturers. required to listen and take notes.
The BEST HISTORY PROFESSOR IN ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA..THIS MAN IS WHAT ALL HISTORY PROFESSOR SHOULD STRIVE FOR..HE CAN PUT ANY FIU HISTORY PROFESSOR TO SHAME
Once in a lifetime professor. Dr. Cox changed my life, for the better. Great professor, best I've ever had. A true gentleman & a genuine scholar. I cannot wait for him to finish his books.
God Bless Him.
This is exactly the kind of teacher I was hoping to have when I went back to school, and I look forward to his classes every day. I'm constantly learning new and interesting things and, most importantly, it all seems to stick. I'm of a mind to sign up for another class taught by him even if I don't need the credits for my degree. He's that good.
He tells history like a story. Just sits there and talks. No textbook needed. Just take notes on EVERY word he says - except when he says not to write. SO DON'T! 2 tests. Just study everything. You realize that you remember the stories 'cause he told it that way. Very nice, funny guy. Highly recommend him.
Guys, is Dr. Cox still teaching?! This guy is fantastic!!!! I was his student 5 years ago. Read and watch any material he recomends or mentions!!! He should be teaching at Yale or something..
This professor is by far the best professor i've ever had at miami dade. You must pay attention to what he says and take notes he will tell you not to write and when to write stuff down, tests were open notes one sheet front page only on all the tests. Passed with an "A", amazing professor take him!!!
BEST TEACHER AT MDC !!!
great class,great teacher
hes only gives 2 test and book review only gives 5 points dont recommend doing it for extra credit. test fill in the blank1 or 2 ltipl choice have to writ everything he says and on the test he puts the least important stuff i didnt thinks would be important but was. dont recommend him.
Absolutely the best professor I ever had. Extremely knowledgeable about his subject. If you take good notes you will do well
nice southern gentleman, hes a good story teller but if you dont have the attention span nor the good note writing skill then dont take him. he knows his stuff but he might test you on a quote he randomly said on a lecture that can leave you confused on the test.
This class changed my life! Charles Cox is the best professor @MDC. I looked forward to the lectures and the class isn't the least bit boring. Note taking is essential if you want to do well on the tests. Honestly, you are lucky if you get to take a class with him.
Amazing professor! Recites history like he's reading a story book (and he doesn't read from anything, all memorized). Took this class summer A and got an A. Make sure to take good notes and the material is interesting so it is easy to study! The best.
Absolutely amazing!You can record his lectures or listen to them online,which is nice in case you missed something. Take notes and do the study guide,but if you paid attention tests shouldn't be too difficult.Such a gentleman and the best storyteller ever.Everyone in my class was paying attention, not 1 person on their phones the entire time.
Dr. Cox has to be one of the best professors at MDC. This man is not only an amazing professor but also a brilliant scholar and intellectual! You are lucky to get a class with him.
The best history professor that I ever met. He knows history from foot to head. His classes are very interesting and he is also very cultured. It was awesome to take this class with him.
The best professor I have had in my life!So easy to pay attention and take notes. He makes the classes so interesting that you always look forward to them. For the test you don't even need to study just read your notes, since everything is already crystal clean on your mind. He made me change my perspective towards history classes. Take the class!!
The best teacher that I ever took. He has the most interesting voice. You won't regret taking him at all. You don't need the book. You just need to pay attention and take some notes. During tests you are allow to bring a piece of paper with all the information you will need for it.
best teacher ever!!!! we he starts talking its like you're watching a movie from how much detail he gives. there have been several time that i ask my self if he has been living since the dawn of man because he speaks about events and people as if he has lived through them and met the people. there will be a lot of notes but its easy and worth it!!!
Advice: Take notes on countries, quotes, people and of course battles and wars. He's a great teacher but you need to take notes, mostly on what I just said because it's two tests and an optional final. He will tell you all about the lives of Bismarck and Napoleon and others but you mainly need to know who they were and what they did to make history
Brilliant professor. He would finish lecture with a cliffhanger so had to come back! Did a lecture on the history of Baseball! Did not lecture on the obvious events (Pearl Harbor)but what happened before & after. I loved it so much, I taped it! lol
This man changed my whole aspect on History. He changed my life for the better. The class was interesting and for being a 10:25AM class i woke everyday dying to go to class He is the most respectful, knowledgeable and caring professor in all of miami dade Take Notes!! but it all story format so you won't forget anything at all Highly Recommended
I have an Oxford University graduate friend who still says that Dr. Cox is the greatest professor he has ever been taught by. I personally experienced this for both WOH classes. Dr. Cox's knowledge is endless, his passion contagious, and his character honorable. He is like the grandfather you have dreamed of. If you take his class, come expecting.
This man is the most honorable man you'll ever meet. By far my favorite and best professor. He really cares about YOU and wants you to do well in the course. Listening to his lectures is like sitting around a fireplace with your grandfather who's telling you his war stories. TAKE HIM! RESPECT HIM!
The Doctor definitely knows his history! He's a classy, charming gentleman in a bow-tie (usually) who is the exact picture of what a professor should look like. The lectures are AWESOME! He tells about people in history as if they were his best friends (right down to their personality) and describes the battles as if he were there. Outstanding.
Great prof. Earned a B in the class. You do not need a book but you need to attend class and take notes or you wont pass his class. His lectures are given in the form of a story which makes it interesting.. also no powerpoints. He gives 2 exams. make sure you write down ALL Quotes and know who said them. Specific events and their dates and people
There were only two tests (mostly fill-in-the-blank) and an optional final. Best to take notes, even of the quotes. Thankfully passed with an A.
I took this class three years ago. He really just wants you to know the story of what happened. He tells each story from memory as if it were bedtime story. Beautiful and interesting! Plus he sends you audio notes. You won't regret it! I still remember him dearly.
Well, He give lectures from memory, sometimes start talking something and continues talking about her wife. smell terrible like a cigarette that burns my nose. no material to read, confusing and no planning the classes. I read a lot about world history I can guide myself in class and understand what is the topic he pretended to teach.
Professor Cox is without a doubt the greatest professor I've had the privilege of studying under. He really is the grandfather you wish you had. Don't take him if you're looking for an easy A, take him if you actually want to learn history. Take notes as well.
For me, Dr. Cox is the most interesting teachers Ive ever had the privilege of being in their company. Entertaining and makes it easy to grasp history.
Professor Cox is a great history professor. His lectures are always informative and interesting. He truly wants his students to learn and do well in the course. He is knowledgeable and kind.
