people complain about this class, but its really not that bad. sometimes craig is a little confused, but oh well... he can be boring sometimes, but overall not too bad.
Very unorganized. I felt like I spent more time listening to him go on about his problems then I did learning about psychology.
Ok, his lectures are a bit dry, but overall...his tests arent hard, they come right from the notes and study guides. He isnt a bad teacher!
VERY BAD, EXTREMELY DISORGANIZED,NOT HELPFUL.Cooper although he tries is not very effective in teaching. Dances around questions and jumps around with the material alot. Tests are very wordy and can be confusing.
well first off all he is very disorganized. The class jumps around a lot. he spends a lot of time thinking what to say. the test are moderity hard. you must study and do the chapter reviews he gives you. the other handouts are useless. you can take him or leave him. if your looking for a easy a
NO, do not take him, he is disorganized and usually seems confused. He contradicts himself, and the tests questions are tricky and wordy. Grading system is not in favor of helping students.
His class doesnt help at all. Read the book or else.
He wasn't so bad. Nice guy, easy enough course. I thought tests were easy, as long as you read the assigned material. Reminds me a lot of the dog Brian from Family Guy.
The worst the college has to offer as a teacher. He spent 3 consecutive Monday nights (over 9 hours!) trying to discuss "Jack" & "Rose" (characters from Titanic) and why they were attracted to each other!!!For this I'm paying money to sit and fall asleep? I would think BCCC could find better teachers for their students. STAY AWAY FROM HIS COURSE!
Worst teacher in the school. He stutters and skips around all through class. He doesn't prepare you for the tests at all.
Terrible organization...He is VERY unhelpful when you have a question...
Absolutely horrible teacher. He stutters, doesn't make much sense and doesn't get you ready for the tests. It could be an interesting class but he ruins it. I spend the class periods reading the book and ignoring his mumbo jumbo nonsense. DON'T TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES!!!!!
Absolutely horrible. Worst class ever. You learn better staying at home reading the book. He disgusts me.
It was a Developmental Psych class that was based mostly on childhood and he hated children. He was weird and creeped me out. Would not recommend anyone take him.
Absolutely horrible!! You will learn nothing from him. I was excited to take the class but he ruined it. He doesn't make any sense and his tests are difficult. I can't imagine how he became a teacher. He is a waste of money. He is by far the worst teacher I've had at Bucks.
his avereage scores for tests in each class is between 63-65%. Doesnt follow book that you were made to buy. note taking is not good. Sometimes very confusing. Disorganized.
NOT ORGANIZED. MEAN AVERAGE OF CLASS TEST SCORES 63-65%. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU. HE IS A NICE MAN BUT BORING. DOESN'T FOLLOW BOOK THAT YOU WERE MADE TO BUY FOR CLASS.
He is the worst, DONT TAKE HIM. dont waste your time or money. BCCC should fire him.
googly brained - calls christianity a "fairy tale", disorganized
This guy was very unclear and taught in circles. Didn't know the answers to questions. The tests were very confusing and of course the students pay for him being a bad teacher. DO NOT TAKE HIM!
Mr Cooper is what a COLLEGE LEVEL professor should be. His assignments made you think and his tests were challenging. This is not the teacher's fault in any way.This is what he is supposed to do. He did make the class interesting in his own way and challenged those who were up to it. It's not fair or relevant to attack him on a personal level.
Mr Cooper was a great teacher. I had him as a Professor at Jefferson (his part time job) for (Developmental Psych) and I found him to be on the easier side of all of the professors at the university. He was fair and offered multiple oppertunities for extra credit. it bothers me to see immature people who failed an easy course trash sucha nice man
Mr. Cooper was a great teacher. I had him for both Intro to Psych and Developmental Psych at Jefferson. His classes were very informative and interesting. He was outstanding at generating class discussions. There were multiple chances for extra credit in both classes. Students should evaluate their efforts before pointing fingers at the teacher.
Mr. Cooper was an excellent teacher. I found his lectures informative and fun. He treated the class as adults and allowed the students to involve themselves in conversation about the lecture material. He was very accessible and very easy to approach and talk to. Mr. Cooper is an overall excellent teacher and I would highly recommend his class!
I also went to Jefferson and had Mr. Cooper. He was extreemly fair, offered extra credit, & was clear on what he expected. Class discussions were always on topic and interesting. If you can't handle a teacher like this, then don't expect to ever go to a real college. There is no reason for anyone to fail this course.
I had Mr.Cooper for psych 101 and developmental psych. The expectations for this class where clear. The class was alowed to dscuss topics related to the material being covered. I enjoyed this class and found it to be very informative.
The Worst teacher I have ever had. does not make any sense when he talks. dont take his class there are many better psych teahers at bucks.
I took Mr Cooper's Dev. Psych course this past spring @ Jeff. It was a requirment to complete my nursing degree but after taking this class I would probably have taken another one of his classes as an elective. He is smart & creative and sometimes deviates from the book but that is what makes him interesting and not a "cookie cutter" professor
Mr Cooper's class was interesting.He used various teaching tools during lecture that coincided with the chapters in the textbook.These tools were helpful at exam time.There weren't any surprises on the exams.He tested students on the information he went over in lecture.Cooper knows the material and he does an excellent job of explaining it.
Mr. Cooper was a very helpful teacher, and knew his subject well. I knew nothing of the subject whe i started the class, but he taught me alot. He always had a good attitude, and seemed intrested in how the students did in the class. I would recommend him to anyone.
a good teacher, I learned alot from him.
Cooper is no longer confusing. He is on point. He may be boring because he explains thing to death. I found his class very interesting(Social Psych). His examples really make the materail stick. He has a strange sense of humor you'll hate it or love it. He is nice as long as you do your part:come prepared, do H.W.,& always participate. He curves!
He has no idea what he is talking about.. I had straight A's in the last psychology course that i had taken and i couldn't grasp anything this man said... Whatever you do do not take his class if you can avoid it at any costs...
He's extremly intelligent & is harsh on stupid people. If you participate he'll help U. I have a 3.6 GPA & only earned a C+ He's a good teacher & there wasnt suprises but just huge amounts of info needed for the tests. You had to know each chapter word for word. I studied very hard but had trouble retaining the info. I loved him but class was hard.
Great teacher and very helpful if you just ask him. I had devp-psych and thought it was very useful what he taught. I would take his class again.
I took Developmental Psychology for my Associates nursing degree, and found it very helpful. It gave me a much better understanding of not only myself, but also of the wide range of patients that I will encounter. Mr. Cooper kept the class moving with intresting discussions, and always encouraged class participation. I recommend taking the class.
He is in to his work. Take good notes and buy the study guide and your guaranteed an A. He also loves his sweetie{his girlfiend}
Awesome...Professor and has a real niche for his work. Makes class interesting by incorporating his life into the lesson plan. He is a modern day " casanova" too!!
Mr.Cooper can be very dry, yet very entertaining. I really enjoyed his class. Do the study guides and take good notes and you'll be fine.
he doesnt teach.. he just talks.. i think he likes to hear his own voice.. all he talks about is his "girlfriend" and dancing.. hes a joke and needs to retire like tomorrow
horrible. try to get a different teacher...he blames the whole class for doing bad on the test and not him for his lack of teaching skills. if only one person passes it thats saying something about his teaching. i study and i still got a d on the tests. all he does is say umm uhh about six thousand times a class.... i guess you can nap in class!
Call me weird but I loved Craigers. I tried really hard to bond with him. He has the weirest sense of humor that most don't get. Its hard to tell if he's joking. He's so sacastic & smart. I worked my butt off in that class and could not earn an A.I got a B+ The class is really hard but I learned a lot. Every word he teaches is on the test
WORST! teacher i've ever had. He is very self centered, and does NOT teach. No matter how hard you work, unless he likes you, you will not do well
He was VERY thorough. Every word in his lecture was on the test. Tape the lectures. He has a weird sense of humor but I loved it. His class was tough but he taught me so much info that I got an 97% in a class at Temple because he taught me everything i needed to know. So his class was worth the price of two. Be on time, participate, & tape lectures
I love Craigers!!! He has the strangest sense of humor & extremly sarcastic. He is brillant. The class is difficult and unless you have a photographic memory an A will be hard to earn. Every word he says & every idea is on the exams. They are tough but no tricks. YOU MUST PARTICIPATE. He does favor people who particpate so get over it and speak up.
I have seriously never been more compelled to not come to school in my entire life. This teacher is so boring that it hurts.
Very confusing professor. Is this guy a real teacher? Avoid at all costs
I really liked this class, and thought he was surprisingly funny and nice. I do not understand why so many people did not enjoy his class. I highly recommend his class as long as your willing to put in the work.
I had many problems with this professor, Avoid his class. He was not helpful AT ALL. He was teaching at Strayer University, which has it's own book, but decided that he wanted to use his own book from Bucks. The class was in my opinion being taught as if we were graduate level students, and not at the 100 level that it was listed for.
Craig Cooper is by far the worst teacher I have ever encountered. He would tell the class countless times about how lonely and insecure he has become since his girlfriend had left him. It's no wonder why he has such a strong and almost creepy bias for female students. The man can't teach without his slides, avoid at all costs.
This is by far the worst teacher I have ever seen. He can't teach and he has an awkward love for female students. Avoid at all costs. This guy doesn't even read essays. He "skims them"
horrible teacher
This is the worst class I have ever take. AVOID, if this is the only option don't even bother. He does not teach well at all, the text book is horrible even if you try to learn straight from that, and he says you know practically every other word. Worst teacher I have ever had. He ruined what should have been a great class.
class was kind of boring so it was hard to pay close attention. psychology is my major and although i was interested in the material i felt like i had to teach myself. i tried really hard and studied a lot and i only got a C. there were some trick questions on the exams too. i don't recommend
He was very boring and unprepared most classes. He was always having "computer trouble" and failed to put certain things on canvas. He was also really vague about assignments and i was always confused. He's annoying
Had him for Psych-181 & Psych-200. Covers all material that is used on quizzes. Textbook not mandatory. No final exam. Very nice and funny guy. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Had him for developmental psych and social psych. Very nice guy. Willing to chat after class if you needed any help or had questions. All quizzes online. No final exams. Go to class, participate, and learn and you'll get an A. Highly recommended.
Awful. He has no structure to the class. In an online class I thought that he would actually lecture over the computer...NO. Everything is on your own.He barely gives any credit for at least doing the assignment. I haven't gotten full credit for a discussion board yet, but he never leaves comments or explains how to improve. No recommendation.
In my opinion I would not recommend Prof. Cooper. His comments on assignments are either not clear or sarcastic. Forget it if you need help he will not respond at all. I don't understand why he is allowed to teach social psychology when he has no clue of how to deal with people. I don't recommend Prof. Craig Cooper.
I would not recommend this professor. No structure to his class at all! He offers no feedback to help students excel, and he doesn't get back to you via email right away. Look into other psych professors.
Not a fan of this guy. Not very helpful and has a bad sense of humor. Only reads off power points and can be mean at times. I learned what I needed but it wasn't real fun.
This teacher was by far the worst teacher I have had during my college experience. He refuses to give you a full credit grade for any of his assignments and expects paper length discussion. He is rude and makes you feel as of you are stupid when he responded to questions about the assignments you may have. Do not take this teacher he is the worst!
Terrible teacher. Doesn't really zero in on what will be on the tests. Reads off power points, but the powerpoints don't cover all the important things that will be on the test. Do not take him
Good luck to anyone who takes him, i wish I read reviews prior. WORST teacher ever, worse than all my high school teachers. Does not cover any material, his canvas website is not updated so you are confused about everything. I wish my comp essay was on how terrible this guy is.
If you are interested in taking a course that you will learn a lot in, this is the one for you. Lots of material covered. The quizzes are hard, so are the assignments. Has a vast knowledge of the covered material. He definitely wont hold your hand, but will work with within reason. Over all a tough class but one that you could take alot away from
Cooper is great. You have to understand his humor, he's rather sarcastic, but he's absolutely willing to listen if you have a question, and even if there's a problem on a test - curves, dropping questions, etc. Do your reading, and go to class, otherwise you're going to have trouble. He's a bit strange, but I learned a lot, and laughed a lot, too.
Mr. Cooper is a fun teacher. He made me laugh. If you do the homework and read the slides you will do well. He gives lots of extra credit to help out. Test were all on line!!!
Worst teacher I have EVER had.I had him for Social Psychology. Didn't grade assignments until the end of the semester so you couldn't improve on assignments. He was unclear in assignments and sarcastic in comments. I was really looking forward to the class until I had him. I can't believe they let him keep teaching.DO NOT TAKE HIM!!
Teaches straight from the powerpoint, & if you ask him to explain something in further detail, he usually says he isn't really sure about the concept. Half the students in the class would be better qualified to teach than this guy. He makes condescending comments about us as students. Spare your sanity and don't take this class!!
I would highly suggest to not take any class this professor teaches. He is one of the worst teacher I've ever had and I wish I dropped his class when I had a chance. He is contradictory and unaware of what is going on in class. I have nothing positive to say about this professor.
I took this class online (spring), and I learned A TON. It is mostly text book based. There are weekly discussions, and there are quizzes for each chapter. It's hard to get a perfect score on discussions, but the course is an easy A if you do the reading and look over the powerpoints. He grades slowly, and there's only one final (optional) paper.
Took this as an interesting class. I found myself drowning in assignments that ask your opinion and him giving sarcastic responses and tells you that you haven't learned anything. can't do well on discussions. mostly weekend due dates, doesn't care if you work, automatic 0 for assignments so you fail. worst teacher ever.
The worst ever. Never ever take his classes :)
don't take his classes
I took social psychology online with Craig cooper- GREAT EXPERIENCE! His assignments really help student to understand the course agenda and textbook material. I found the workload very manageable, especially if you enjoy the content. Meet Craig for office hours! He is engaging, witty, and very willing to give guidance or discuss content! A+
Prof Cooper was a good guy, but was not a good professor in my opinion. He was very condescending towards us students and read right from power point without further explaining the concept. His tests are also online, and timed- only a little over a minute for each question and most of the questions are scenario based, Do not recommend.
Attendance was required or you wouldn't pass. Only talked about himself
This was my third time taking a psych class and he was by far the worst prof I've ever had. Just like everyone else has said all he does is teach off the powerpoints and legitimately sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about. He always seems nervous and doesn't want to be there. 10/10 would not recommend.
He is the worst of the worst.
A handful of 15-20 pt online quizzes, relatively easy if you study his power points, 3 exams, no homework. Funny and laid back, gives lots of extra credit and extensions on every assignment if you just ask :)
I would not suggest taking this professor. He gives a lot of work, grades hard, and is condescending in his feedback on assignments. If I would have read his reviews before the class I would not take him. The class itself isn't hard, the concepts and information is relatively easy. I just don't think cares at all about his students.
Hated that class
I shouldve dropped his class on the first day of the semester. Something in me could just tell he would be a horrible professor and I regret not going with my intuition. He reads directly from the powerpoint and sounds like he doesnt know what hes talk about. Quizzes/tests has nothing to do with what he taught us. Dont even waste your time.
Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT take any of his classes!!!!! Basically teaching yourself the material, tests always have random questions that have nothing to do with the material. If there is another prof available pick them, if he's the only prof then change ur major and take a different class.
I took Cooper online as an accelerated course for Summer I. The class was 6 weeks so it was very fast paced. There was a quiz every week but he provided a study guide along with a power point of all information needed. There were papers each week but if you read the material, they were easy! I would 100% recommend him to anyone! He was great!
He is by far the worst Professor Ive ever had. He schedules quizzes without even telling us on canvas. He grades everything as missing, takes forever to grade, and I feel like I am wasting my time. He has no idea what he is talking about, and shame on you if you have a question about his grading. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.
Horrible, do not take him!! He is rude and disrespectful and does not work with students at all. You basically teacher yourself the class. Do not recommend!!!
I was pretty excited to learn about psychology, but I dread going to all of his classes. He doesn't teach and if he does he's rambling and talking about his personal life. He used to give us a few days to take a test, but now we only have a day and an exam right after. You pretty much teach yourself. Such a waste of time
Prof Cooper was awful! He hardly teaches b/c most of the time he is talking about his own personal life or politics. He has went on long tangents about how terrible Trump is either every class or every other class. His time spent talking about politics took away from a lot of learning time, I felt his class was a waste of my time and education.
Horrible professor. I decided to take a chance despite seeing his rating. Big mistake. He constantly changes due dates, assignments, and calls for lock down browser in the middle of the semester. Seems unorganized to me. Papers aren't up to his expectations, then expect to fail it. Generally just a bad professor. Don't take him.
All of the negative reviews left me nervous for this class but Professor Cooper by far exceeded my expectations. It was an asynchronous class so there were no lectures aside from prerecorded ones. The modules were set up well and everything was direct. He was prompt in his grading and offered exceptional feedback.
I would have to say he is definitely very condescending. I am only half way through the semester and I am starting to fear he will only go downhill. He talks a lot about politics and himself but not too much about psychology. If you stay after class to ask a question, he is willing to answer it for you, if you listen to him ramble for 15-20 minutes
Cooper is a hard grader and sometimes gets distracted while lecturing, but he is a very kind person and clearly tries his best to be helpful to students and answer any questions.
his assignments are all online and through the textbook, they are quick and easy. check canvas often because some are due on weekends. Also, participate (it is graded). If you reach out with issues, he is very understanding. His tests are challenging but STUDY HIS SLIDES!!! You will do very well if you participate and STUDY THE SLIDES!!!
He sometimes is very disorganized, HOWEVER he knows the material (unlike some professors). The curriculum is NOT based off a textbook, he creates it. Discussions in class were great, if you read and took notes prior to class (which he tells to do). Lots of graded pre-class quizzes.
Overall, I had a great time in Professor Cooper's class. Sometimes, his lectures can be a bit dull, but the homework is easy. He also gives multiple opportunities for extra credit. The exams are worth a lot, but you can take the optional final exam to replace your lowest exam grade. He is a very interesting guy, as well.
The class has a challenging workload, but using resources like Unstuck study alongside studying the slides can help you succeed. The professor is sometimes condescending, but is willing to provide extra support if you engage.
Boring boring boring
This professor is strict when it comes to their grading. For the discussions i usually only got one chance to speak which ended up resulting in me getting low grades for that, ignoring the fact i have social anxiety. For the exams there was no proper way to prepare since I studied for weeks, only for most of the stuff to not be on them.
