Mr. Cooper is a very easy teacher to pass. Guaranteed "A", assignments are easy to do. There's no final only a midterm and quizzes but not hard. The only problem he has is that he tends to have favortism and only pays attetion to the ones he likes. Other then that he is a pretty cool teacher.
Really easy...if he knows your trying he does everything in his power to give you an A!
really nice, REALLY EASY ....but that doesnt mean you can cruise the semester...do the work and show him you care and youll get your A ...easy easy easy
absolutely a lovely teacher. no complaints... except maybe a little too nice :P.
So easy! He is a nice, funny guy and very understanding. Some of the things we learned were helpful but most of everything we learned was common sense. Quizes can be a little tricky but you can use notes on index cards.
Great guy!, nice teacher, cool class. A lot of funn, not that much work, EEEEEAAAAASSSYYY A.. if you fail this class u just suck at life...
So far, he is the greatest professor i have been taught by. He is helpful, very understanding, easy-going, and just so insightful. I would recommend taking this class to anyone...especially with Mr. Cooper. Its easy, fun and can really make a difference in your everyday life...Check it out.
This teacher is really nice as long as you do your work.......very understanding....easy grading as long as you put effort.........attendance a must if u want to pass.......
Very easy class it is mostly common sense. Then again common sense isn't common to everyone so...take this class if you know negative effects of drugs, alcohol, not studying and other things that can effect school performance.
i thought he was very easy!he gives MANY chances 4 extra credit!the only thing is- hes big on atendance and following directions.but he lets u eat in class and he always tells u everything u need to kno beforehand!i personally think hes an easy A if u showup almost every day.he lets u kno if ur grade is low and gives u tons of chances 4 extr credt!
He is a really nice guy! just do the work and you'll get a really easy A! its like a high school class. note cards on quizs and midterm. NO FINAL. lots of extra credit. TAKE HIM HES TOTALLY WORTH IT.
Cooper is the best. he is straight forward and always willing to help a student out. I learned so much and continue to exercise the skills i learned in his class to help me study for exams. Easy "A" if you do the work (a lot of busy work) and show up to class.
HE IS THE BEST EVER(BEST IN EVERYTHING),EASY TO GET AN A, HE IS SO HELPFUL AND IF U WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE SOCIETY AND PEOPLE AROUND U JUST TAKE HIS CLASS....
Mr. Cooper does whatever he can to see his students succeed. His class is very fair and straightforward. SHOW UP and BE ON TIME! Do what work is asked of you and he will do everything he can on his part to make sure you get to a 4 year University. Highly recommended! The course work is easy and does not take much time to complete. GREAT teacher!!!
This teacher will help you find your goal and teach you how to be organized. His teaching method are excellent, he relates to everyone in class, very kind and intuitive. Great teacher!
He is a cool teacher. Sometimes talks a-lot. Tries to be funny, and only sometimes trully successful.The class isn't hard. Just do the reading, and take notes. If you don't take notes, I will tell you now, you are screwed. I would recommend anyone who wants to take this class, to take this teacher.
Thic class is probably the easiest class you are ever going to take in college! you get to use note cards on quizes and on tests and on the midterm. He gives no final. He is just a little strict about attendance and being quiet in class. He's very nice and you can talk to him about anything take him he's the best counseling teacher at sm!!!!!!
Mr. Cooper is a great professor. I highly recommend that you take this class sooner than later because it's helpful in designing your education plan, transferring, and financing college. He's very helpful and will work with you if you work hard and try. There is a little bit of homework but it's very easy. The class is helpful but only with Cooper!
good teacher and a good guy
I wish I had pages to write about how amazing Mr.C is. The motivation that he will inspire in you is unmeasurable. This man truly cares about his students, he is the coolest guy ever. Super nice and super easy. The techniques he teaches you are priceless when it comes to succeeding in College and the transfer process. TAKE HIM HE IS SIMPLY AMAZING
give respect, and in return you get respect. Good guy that wants to help you succeed.Very big on respect
Easy to get an "A" class. Very inspiring and helpful professor. He really cares about his students. Show up to class, do the work, and you'll get your A.
Super nice guy! Really cares about his students. Make sure to go to class he marks off 10 points for every missed lecture. Prof. Cooper truly cares about his students and will do whatever he can to help them succeed. Easy A but it's a TON of busy work. Very approachable teacher, very easy course that will help you become a better student.
He's awesome. Super nice and friendly. Does his best to make the class fun and interesting. Do all the work and come to class with a good attitude and he'll love you :)
Best couns 20 teacher at SMC. If you do choose to take this course I suggest taking him. Not only is the material he teaches helpful but he himself is very helpful in explain the tips and ideas of helping you get ahead in college. And do the note cards because he lets u use as many note cards on the test as you want.
Best professor that i've had thus far.

A very very helpful man who cares a lot about his students and wants you to get a good grade. come to class, turn in assignments, use notecards on quizzes, and do some extra credit if you're border line and you got an A+ forusure! TAKE HIM, TRUST!
cooppy coops. sick teacher. really knows his stuff and looks out for his students
Really good teacher who knows everything about how to succeed throughout College! Work load is a bit too much and dies down after the midterm, which is why I recommend to take him only for Fall or Spring, but overall, GREAT teacher! Was my favorite teacher in Fall, and wish that I could have him again, Cooper you rock!!!!!
Prof. Cooper, an amazing professor. He's fun, energetic, and easy. All you need to do in his class is keep up with work, try your hardest, and go to class. He really cares for his students. He's funny and if you talk to him he'll work with you. Thanks Coopmeister you're the BEST!!
Good teacher, makes assignments known before they are due. Lets people re-hand in every assignment to get full credit. Want an A? turn in all assignments on time and come to class. Easy easy easy, only long essays occasionally.

Mr.Cooper knows his thing. He teaches very neatly and understands what he is doing. I did not like the last day of class tooo much foood. For little boys and girls behave in his class or he will spank you.
Awesome Professor!! A lot of work in the class but its almost impossible not to get an A in the class! EASY A, Caring Professor, Great class overall. Thank you so much Professor Cooper!
Coopers really nice. theres a lot of work in the class, but its pretty easy. he lets you use notes on all the quizzes and midterm. most of the stuff on the tests are common sense, but you do need to buy and use the book. i would definitely take this class, especially if youre a new student at SMC.
Love Coop!!! Super chill professor and so nice! The class was easy as long as you do the work, the work itself is a breeze. Although the hw is also busywork (yuck)! So helpful and even if you don't take Cooper the class is great if your a new student and you plan to transfer to a four year college!!!
I seriously miss this guy and his class a lot. I looked forward to going to class and that's pretty rare. Like everyone else is saying, he's REALLY nice and very helpful. The class environment is pretty chill too which is nice. I really did learn a lot of vital information about transferring and how to be an overall better student. miss you Coop!
Cooper is really nice I took his class in Fall 2010. He doesn't give out a final. In test and quizzes you can use flashcards, and in the midterm. the class is pretty fun really enjoyed it. he explains every new assignment with clarity. Recommend to take this class and if possible take him as the professor, won't regret it.
Honestly, he's a down to earth guy. He actually motivate you to achieve more (which is a huge plus). Most important though you learn how to understand yourself better and understand how SMC works. He's a homie take him, you won't regret it = ).
super nice, down to earth cool teacher! easy grader you just have to work hard and put effort into it, fun easy projects. TAKE HIM!
TAKE HIM!
BASED COOPER
Cooper is the best professor Ive ever come across at SMC, he is the only reason I looked forward to coming to class and is actually hilarious and if every professor were like him maybe smc would be a more enjoyable experience,genuinely cares, super easy class, notes allowed on all, take him, he helped me organize my life!!
I enjoyed his class a lot! If it's your first term at smc highly recommend to take his class. You will have to do a lot of work, but it's not very hard and some of the assignments might be very interesting to do just for yourself.Plus all this info helps you in future academic success:)
best professor in the world. take him !
He is a really great teacher! Helpful and nice, I would definitley recommend! He allows you to use study cards on tests and lets you redo assignments so you can receive an A. Everyone MUST take him!
Best Teacher Ever, must take him(:
This guy is the best teacher ever. He lets you use study cards on all the quizzes, which are easy, & although there's no late hw accepted, on ALL major projects, if turned in on time,you can redo them. If you're serious about getting an A, do all your work and come everyday & it's your's. I wish there were more professors like him.
I took Mr.Cooper for Couns 20 and he is a great teacher. Out of all the teachers i've met in my life he has to be one of my all time favorites. He really cares for his students and is very helpful. If you ever need help or someone to talk to hes there. I would definitely take him again if i could but there are no more classes i could take with him.
SUCH A GREAT GREAT PROFESSOR AND FUNNY! MAKES CLASS FUN AND NOT SO BORING. YOU'LL GET AN A IF U DO ALL THE WORK!! ALWAYS ALLOWS U TO RE-DO WORK IF U DON'T GET A GOOD SCORE. MIDTERM EASY! JUST READ THE BOOK N U'LL B FINE. TAKE HIM!
Great teacher, took him for counseling 20. There's ALOT of work, but if you complete them all and turn it in on time you are guaranteed an A in the class forsure. Open note quizzes, re-do assignments if turned in on time, just easy easy easy! TAKE HIM!!!!
I love Coop! He is such a wonderful person and a great teacher to have. He has a great sense of humor and keeps you interested. The class is so easy if you just do your work. All he wants is effort. He is also a great person to come for advice. LOVE HIM!!!
Cooper is awesome, I enjoyed this class. It's a lot of work but it's easy, just gotta put in some effort. He lets you re-do assignments which is very helpful, and he is a cool funny dude. If you put in some genuine effort, you will easily get an A in this class, you also learn some helpful strategies as well.
Professor Cooper is great, I loved going to his class! He's very funny, which is always a plus! If you do the work, put in the effort, and participate from time to time you will get an A! I definitely recommend taking this professor, you won't regret it :)
Professor Cooper is one of the best teacher's at SMC. He is very helpful and cares about his students. He wants everyone to do well and have funny lectures. Read the book and keep up with the assignments and it'll be an easy A
Great Professor. Practically a quiz every week based on textbook, rarely on lecture notes. Allows notecards on tests. Two major projects, but always gives plenty of weeks to work on them. He is so chill, but is strict with attendance and punctuality!!! Easy way of getting an A, as long as you are responsible and keep up with reading. 70 pnts EC .
You’ll want to grab a beer with Mr. Cooper. He’s THAT good. Counseling 20 isn't a grad requirement, and actually has a LOT of work, but it’s mostly busywork. Do your homework, and make note-cards on the chapters. Quizzes usually are open note; you can use only notecards though. “Final Exam” is not that bad, just review. Take Cooper!
Well, most of what he taught was common sense. However he did have his shining moments. I went from a good high school student to a great college student. He follows his syllabus which is great and he is awesome. Differently recommend him. I wish he taught other courses like English, social science, psychology because he is that great of a teacher
The class is an easy-A busywork class designed to teach freshmen how college works. If you take this class, make sure to take it with Cooper! He knows what he teaches and makes sure the important stuff (like financial aid) is clear. It's super easy to get an A, and you learn a lot in the process, even if some of it is common sense.
Recommend this class. The professor is really cool and funny. He wants to give the most A's and the class is easy. I've gotten A, B, C, & mayb D on a test yet scored an A. Final is pretty much questions from readings on textbook / previous test questions. Gives extra credit & 3 major assignments. But they're pretty easy. You can get the A!
I'm soo glad I had counseling with Cooper. Take him! You will not regret it. He's a stickler for rules so follow them. Attendance is mandatory. LOTS of paper used so get used to it and DO THE READING. He instilled motivation and confidence for the future for me. He REALLY cares about his students and job. Will definitely remember all he taught me.
Daniel Cooper is an amazing professor!I highly recommend every college student take this course even if your not a freshman.This class will help you become a master student.There is a lot of flashcard making/textbook reading/writing assignments, however DO THEM ALL! Do Extra credit!You will learn valuable tools to success in this class.
He is a really great Prof. Has a lot of work, time consuming but easy. Also lets a five crash if you plan on crashing.
Great professor! Really engaged with the class. He's laid back but still somewhat strict. If you can take a class with this professor, you definitely should.
Professor cooper is just too awesome! There is no way you will fail his class unless you don't do anything, he cares about his students and his always willing to help. He is so much fun! I recommend you take his class! You will learn a lot of skills for college in this class, he makes them see as fun and important!
Mr. Cooper is such a good teacher. He is so funny. He makes it so that the class is fun and enjoyable. I wish that i had him for all my classes. He rely cares about his students and wants them to do good. I would recommend him too any student. :-)
Daniel Cooper helped me make a transformation from high school student to college student. The projects he makes you do are totally easy. He connects with his students and gives extra credit. The group work we do was awesome. He made a lasting impression on us! Take Cooper he is there to help you, make you laugh and listen to any problems you have!
Mr. Cooper is a great Professor. He gives plenty of assignments in this class but he is super crystal clear about WHAT he wants and HOW he wants it done. He definitely has his favorite's in the class and is very obvious about it. (you will understand what I mean once you take this class). I learned a lot. Fun class!
Best Professor EVER!! Just do ALL Assignments and you will be golden!
This is a easy class to pass if you show up and do the work. A lot of assignments are due at the beginning of the semester but towards the end you are work free. He is very helpful and willing to help at all times.
I absolutely love cooper. He is so great, and so friendly. He is always there for you, and you can talk to him about anything. I passed his class with 30 points over what I needed. He is an amazing teacher, just show up everyday and do the work. Super easy A! Just do everything. he lets you re-do assignments!
GREAT PROFESSOR PROBABLY THE BEST AT SMC. THE HOMEWORK HE GIVES ARE SUPER FUN TO DO AND THE CLASS IS NEVER BORING. HE CAN RELATE TO YOU AS IF HE WERE A STUDENT HIMSELF. I ENCOURAGE EVERY FRESHMAN TO TAKE COOPER. YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST. JUST DO THE WORK AND SHOW UP TO CLASS AND YOU WILL GET A SOLD A I GUARANTEE IT!!
One of the best professors I've ever had the pleasure to have and learn from. The class itself is great, Professor Cooper definitely knows how to keep the class entertained and is always willing to help. Highly recommend!
GREAT PROFESSOR. FUNNY AND RELATES TO HIS STUDENTS. ASSIGNMENTS ARE SUPER FUN AND WILL GET YOU READY FOR COLLEGE. BEST PROFESSOR AT SMC. YOU WILL LEARN A LOT. EASY A I GUARANTEE IT.
He is one of the best professors at smc. He is very kind and very helpful. he gives a lot of assignments at the beginning of the semester but if you do them you are gonna to pass the class and he gives an opportunity to redo the assignments. There many quizzes but they are all from the textbook. He also gives a midterm but there is no final
I took Professor Cooper for counseling 20 during the summer 2015. I really enjoyed his class you feel you to know him better when he shares his family stories in class. He is a easy A!!!! I would recommend him to anybody who is planning to take this course. Just do all of your homework and show up for class because he gives you points for that :)
I took him in the summer and he is a really easy teacher! Just do the hw and reading (study) and is an easy A! Great guy too really helps throughout the semester.
Best teacher ever that's all i can say. EASY A!!!
Best counseling teacher out there! he is funny and easy. definitely get him you wont regret it!
Really cool guy, take him for counseling. You won't regret it.
Cooper is the coolest guy ever. Attendance is EVERYTHING. Don't take the class if you don't intend on showing up/being on time. Overall, he's a funny guy who genuinely wants his students to succeed. Very good with giving help, extra credit, redos. EASY class. If you don't pass this class you must genuinely not care. Best professor ever!
Best professor ever. Just take his class, you won't regret it. Attendance is everything.
cooper was seriously the best. He genuinely cares about his students, he loves to talk about his family. He also hands out easy homework and easy projects. easy A if you come to class everyday and do the work.

Not a boring class at all I'm so happy I take his class
great professor! truly easy to understand. do all the hw and take all the test and you can pass the class. he also offers extra credit
Great guy, 100% the most genuine professor you can take, he clearly cares about teaching his students and it's honestly the easiest A you can get if you do the work. Offers so much extra credit you can get 100 points above an A if you wanted to. You really just have to occasionaly read a chapter from the book show up to class and thats all it is.
Cooper is a cool guy. He is very much aware of the problems that his minority students face and makes accommodations for them (not like easier grading if that's what you think). I already knew most of what he taught (took class b/c of EOP), but he made it worthwhile with his funny sense of humor and occasional current events. Take him :)
Textbook is required. Weekly reading and lecture note taking. Plenty of extra credit available. A few projects throughout the semester.
Honestly, one of the best professors at SMC. He will do anything he can to help you, but of course you need to show him you are trying and keep up with all assignments. He will do what he can to help you succeed. Could be a bit time consuming if you are taking a full load. Took him for Winter 2017. Thanks for everything professor Cooper!
One of the only teachers I will write a review for. He is such a nice person that actually cares for students. He wants you to pass but you do need to put in your work. If you put in the effort you will always get a good grade. Don't miss class and go on time. Honestly my favorite teacher at SMC so far
Textbook is requiered. Best professor ever. Take him!
He's a very great teacher and very understanding. He will help u do the best in class and also hates phones. But overall I'd take again very good open minded teacher he respects everyone who respects him.
In professor cooper's class, you will always get at least one good laugh throughout the class. He is understanding and will reach out to you to give any feedback if you need it. As long as you attend class, participate and do the few homework assignments and tests, you will be glad you took the class!
Professor Coop is the man! Take notes and complete every assignment and you will get your A! Offers extra credit to make up for low scores.. Will spark something in your brain at multiple points during this course. I would take it again..
If you're looking for a counseling 20 class to take, then Daniel Cooper the right guy. He's very approachable and understanding. His goal is for you to pass the class. Just show up and put in the effort. Believe me it's an easy A.
Cooper is the best Couneling professor you could possibly ever have. The lectures are the best and will make you think on life and how to integrate it into yours. Many many extra credit opportunities to get an A in the class.
an amazing professor! really cares about all his students and is willing to help w/ anything they need. all you need to do is show up on time for every class and put effort in your work. really an amazing professor and great class if youre a first time student or need a gpa booster lol

Youll learn a lot in his class and will thoroughly enjoy it because he keeps you engaged. Its a really fun easy going class.

Being a counselor himself he knows a lot of valuable information.
Mr. Cooper is the best teacher Ive had at SMC so far. His class is really easy as long as you turn in the work. He cares about his students, plus hes super funny.

Great professor! Hilarious, caring for his students and ensures everyone passes with an A. Always has extra credit for students who need to bump up their grade.

Professor Coop is hands down the most HILARIOUS and BEST professor I've had!! I would DEFINITELY take his class again! He really cares about student's success and gets to know them as a friend. He made class fun and interesting, and it made me actually look forward to going to class. If you don't show up, you won't really pass, easy class.
Professor Cooper is the best. Although I took this class over the summer it was a great class to take going into community college. Make sure to attend class. Quizzes are lecture based. Read the textbook. Gives great resources to use through out community college. Easy class to follow.
Professor Cooper is a great teacher 100% recommend him. His work is pretty easy and understandable. Gives feedback on assignments.

He gives great feedback and really wants everyone to pass. He gives such good tips and information and after his class i feel much more prepared for college. Winter 20
Amazing Professor. Meet so many great people in his class and he makes the class fun.
loved professor cooper. super nice and funny. his class material is super useful. if you do the assignments, guaranteed to know the material on quizzes and tests. highly recommended
The most amazing professor for this class you will find, he is simply the best, just do the assignments and you will get an A, that's all there really is to it. His lectures are great, when he talks you just know he's a professor who truly cares for his students. Bless him. Look no further this is a must take, you won't regret it!
Best Professor Ever!
Thinking about taking Counseling 20, take it with Professor Cooper, I've learned a little more about myself and where I'm headed in the future. No matter what the assignment is, he'll always help you. There are very few teachers like him that actually care about you and motivates their students to do well not only in class but in the future.
Very helpful and kind.
Amazing professor !! No complaints at all. Super easy A ! Lets you use flash card for tests but not on the final
Professor Cooper was an amazing teacher! He was available for office hours, gave helpful feedback, and allowed redos for assignments. His lectures were captivating. He has a good heart and makes class enjoyable!
He may be good, but he's very strict on photography (which is plagiarism and prohibits us from doing it), phone usage and side conservations. Also, he claims taking Pol. Science is required which concerns. For the rest of it, sometimes he makes us laugh about his past years.
Professor Cooper is extremely kind! He will thoroughly review the assignments and prepare you for everything he assigns in his class. If you are thorough with your assignments and your diligence is seen through your work he will give you extra points and those extra points go a long way if you are continuously submitting quality work.
If you're looking to have fun while being educated you've found the right professor, super kind and understanding I'm happy to have experienced Professor Cooper as a teacher!
Professor Cooper is the most considerate and caring educator that I've ever met. He is humorous and friendly, and above all, he wants to see ALL of his students succeed. Highly recommend taking his class! I almost wish I had failed just so I could retake this course with him.
Professor Cooper is the GOAT. He is one of the nicest, most caring people I have ever met. He always talks about how much he loves his job which in turn makes him more motivated to teach and more motivated for us to learn. His lessons are important for not only college, but for the rest of your life. Take him for the best class ever.
Professor Cooper is by far my favorite professor at SMC. He is so helpful and genuinely wants you to succeed, not just in his class but in all of your future endeavors. If youre looking to take COUNS 20, you NEED to do it with him!!!!
I highly recommend students taking Counseling 20 with Cooper! Such a great professor, an understatement. He shows that he really cares about students and the materials he teaches. He's funny, helpful, and reliable. Answers emails, and definitely made this class a fun experience. Participation does matter and even offers extra credit!
He's like whatever, but he sure is a tough grader. Prohibits photography (even for study guide prior midterm exams which is very important). Furthermore, he's a good professor.
Mr. Cooper is by far my favorite teacher at Santa Monica since I started that college. He was very understanding about things. So I recommend anyone taking his class.
If you want the tools to succeed in your college career and become the best student that you can possibly become, take Professor Cooper's class.

Professor Cooper is such a caring and enthusiastic teacher. You can tell he really enjoys his job and wants the best for his students. I took his Counseling 20 summer course. As long as you do your homework and do decent on the quizzes, you will get a good grade in the class. He is a kind and funny teacher that I think everyone would enjoy.
I loved prof.cooper he was very sweet to everyone and caring i took his class fall 2022 he helped a lot but he does call on you sometimes out of nowhere to see if you are paying attention. his tests are super easy he basically gives you the answers you just need to study.
Very simple and an easy A class if you turn in all assignments and hw, gives quiz answers in class and allows to use flashcards, very caring and tries to make lectures enjoyable, pretty strict about no phones and technology, highly recommend if you need a ge course completion
Took his class on Zoom, but he still makes an effort to help students as much as possible! The class isn't too difficult and it's much more about learning and helping yourself become a better student, major projects also aren't too bad, and he usually offers office hours for support on them if you're unsure and have questions.
Prof Cooper was a perfect professor to start off SMC with. Super nice and understanding, doesn't give too much work and the work given was very helpful for my future.
I highly recommend taking Couns 20 for the first semester to have an overall view of the college path. It's an easy A class. Professor Cooper allows you to use study cards in quizzes (not midterm) and lets you redo any homework and assignments for full credit. Tons of extra credit. Love his class so much.
Took online, great professor, cares about students. Work was average amount but all helpful for yourself. Really helpful class to get informed for college.
Professor Cooper's class was both fun and informative, with lectures that are easy to follow. This is perfect for college newbies or anyone seeking guidance on academic success and overall well-being. He is not only kind, humorous, but effective at communicating. Professor Cooper, you have earned my 5 star rating. Highly recommend to everyone!!
This professor is not a good one. He claims it's illegal to take pictures of essential topics.
Very caring professor with lots of funny stories to tell! Mainly everything is done on paper, he allows flashcards on tests. He always has good advice if you need guidance for your future and can talk to him about anything, his work is easy and provides a free textbook for the tests that you NEED to read. Easy A.
Professor Cooper makes this class fun and informative. Lectures are easy to follow, and participation is encouraged with extra credit opportunities. Unstuck AI is a great study tool alongside the textbook. Highly recommend for a smooth college experience.
As long as you do all of the work, it's an easy A. A lot of his assignments/quizzes are short and easy. He lets you redo assignments and gives so many extra credit opportunities. He will definitely teach you a lot of useful techniques and advice to get through college, so this class is highly recommended.
This professor is in my opinion a great counseling teacher. He gives good advice and feedback and he let you do redo which is great because he also shows what's your mistake
He's a very chill professor who cares about the success of your future. He teaches through lectures which aren't too heavy but be prepared to take notes! It's essentially the center of his entire class. While there are several major assignments, they all revolve around exploring your interests and, ultimately, self-discovery.
Professor Cooper is awesome. He is funny and caring. Free textbook. A good amount of homework but it is not hard. Take many notes! Lots of useful information is taught. Show up take notes and keep up with the homework and you will get an A. Wonderful professor and class!
Professor Cooper is a great professor with interesting and engaging lectures. There are four major assignments, reading quizzes, and a midterm exam. He allows you to redo assignments if you don't earn a high grade and offers plenty of extra credit. He genuinely cares about his students and wants you to succeed. I highly recommend Professor Cooper!
