He is a great teacher take good notes and you will make an A.
Gives you the powerpoints from which the tests come from. Easy to follow and doesn't drag on. Multiple choice tests, need I say more. Very friendly and easy to approach.
Well prepared professor who knows his stuff. Tests are not tricky. Lectures are interesting & tests come directly from lectures. You do not have to buy text book if you print out PP presentations from web site. Really nice guy!
Best teacher I have ever had. Very nice and helpful. Study for test and you will make an A.
Dr. Cox is a great Prof. He treats his students with respect. He is one of the few Prof. that does not treat you like you are still in high school. He is VERY intelligent. Best Prof. I have had thus far. Highly recommended.
Dr. Cox is a great prof. He treats you with respect and he is always ready to help. Study his powerpoint slides and you will do fine. He is one of the best prof. at GPC
Dr. Cox is the best prof I have ever had. He ACUTALLY teaches you the info. As long as you study his material you will do just fine.
Dr. Cox ROCKS! He teaches and tests directly from PP slides, is willing to help with any questions, and is extremely respectful and helpful. Only complaint is that I found him difficult to hear during lectures; his voice can be somewhat "soft spoken". Sit upfront.
Dr. Cox is one of the best at GPC. He puts a lot of effort into his class (notes on Powerpoint, updates on Webct) so that you can get an A in micro. even if you were nervous about taking micro. He understands the material is hard and applies the material in a way that you can succeed! You still ha
Great teacher! The best science teacher I have ever had! Very helpful and considerate! Really appreciates teaching!
DrC is one of the most respectful, helpful, clear instructors I have ever taken. He really wants his students to do well. He knows how to convey a complex science course into understandable info for the averg student. His ppts are also helpful tools in learning. Take DrC, he's ONE of a GREAT KIND!!
He is wonderful! Don't even think twice. If you can take him- take him! You need to study, but if you really study hard and keep up- you will be rewarded with a good test grade. He is so fair and extremely helpful! One of the best I have ever taken! HIGHLY recommended!
Dr. Cox was the best Prof. I've ever had - and I've been around a LONG time. He really cares about his students, and having everyone learn the material. If you try and do study, you can succeed in his class. I wish all teachers were as compassionate as he is.
Excellent teacher! Makes micro understandable for everyone.Be sure to take his Lab also.
Excellent!
DrC is the best professor I've had at GPC! He is so helpful, considerate & respectful. He tests from his PP & material on CT. It's still a tough class but you will be successful if you put the effort into studying & ask him any ?s you don't understand. He's great & does his part in trying to get you prepared for later classes.
He is a really good teacher. All of his tests do come from his powerpoints; I didn't even buy the book for his class. He is also a good lab teacher. I would definitely reccomend him.
Dr. Cox made this class very interesting and easy! He is very clear and he know his stuff. You can print out his power point slides. The book is not necessary, but if you find your self as much into it as I did you should buy it. Dr. Cox is # 1 !!!
If teaching style has anything to do with hottness Dr.C is hot to trot. Micro is not easy but he gives all the necessary tools to make an A. Its up to you to use them!!
He gives you all the tools to do well in his class and if you are going into the medical field you will appreciate his teaching style.
u r crazy if you don't take this man. no 1 better than him. i wish he taught everything!!!!
Actually works for the CDC and has some good stories to tell.
DR. COX IS AWESOME!!! HE IS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS THAT I HAVE EVER HAD! HOWEVER, HE IS NOT AN EASY "A". YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK IN HIS CLASS TO GET AN A. DR. COX MAKES THIS CLASS SO MUCH FUN & HE REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF!!!
It's a hard class, but there is NO better teacher for it. Dr Cox is one of the BEST teachers I've ever had. He gives you a CD on the 1st day of class that contains all the material you will need to get an A, including test practice, so STUDY IT! Also read the summaries and answer the questions from the chapters in the book to prepare for the tests.
Difficult class, however with his CD and the book to fill in the gaps,plus your hard work...automatic A. His tests would be very hard except he gives lots of bonus questions. He also writes terrific letters of recommendation. What are you waiting for? Great guy!!
Dr Cox is a great professor! I had a great time in his class and appreciated his genuine concern for me and my classmates. He always answered questions willingly, never made you feel stupid and is a very fair instructor. I have recomended him to every one I know needing micro. He goes above and beyond to help you do well. Gives every on a CD w ppt!
Dr. Cox is one of those professors who really wants you to get an "A". He is extremely helpful and talks to you in your level. I was scare of microbiology before the semester, but he has made the semester rather enjoyable. I wish I had him for all of other calsses.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Class is hard but he gives you everything you need to pass class & lab with a good grade. I actually received an 11.5 on my lab notebook and was blown away. Very fair and knows his stuff. You have to earn the grade and you cannot fail unless you just refuse to study.
microbiology and the lab rocked!!
I had Dr.Cox for Microbiology last Spring...he is the best teacher I have had yet! He really makes the material clear enough so you can enjoy the class and actually like what you are learning. He is super helpful and is always willing to talk to you when you need help understanding anything. Everyone should take his class.. he's awesome!!!!!!!
Dr. Cox was my favorite professor at GPC.He is very knowledgable of the subject matter and is able to get his points across in a way that makes it very easy for students to understand.Also,he was always open to any questions,vey approachable and never belittled any of the students as some doctors/professors like to do.Try to get Dr. Cox if possible
Hands down best professor I have ever had! Hard subject, but he is so helpful and gives you everyhting you need to pass the class. Thank you Dr. Cox!
Dr. Cox is my favorite teacher at GPC. Micro is a hard class and he made it so easy to understand. I would highly recommend taking Dr. Cox if you want to do good in micro!!! He is extremely helpful and VERY knowledgeable. I wish all teachers were like him!!
If you have to take Micro 1913 request him for Lab and Lecture. He's the most helpful teacher I've ever met.Gives students a CD with a lot of helpful material. If you study his material you will walk away with an A!
Excellent teacher.I had him for Spring '08. Should be awarded "best teacher of the year". Take his class and lab. He is the one of the BEST scholar of GPC. Makes learning easy and fun. Every teacher should learn from him and his teaching style.
I love Dr.Cox. He is the best teacher in the world. I recommend him to you all.. take him, he is such a smart and incredible person. He is extra helpful and very patient with his students. You'll learn a lot in his class..take him, take him, take him...I love you Dr.Cox you are the best
I really enjoyed Dr. Cox micro class. He made you want to learn more. Give you a lot of info but include stories to make it stick with you. I would recommend him to anyone. He is willing to explain things in more details after class if you don't understand.
Wonderful Instructor and funny. A Mac geek that made learning Microbilogy seem easy with high-tech illustrations. Treats everyone with respect and drws you to attend every class. I learnt alot and my interest in Microbilogy peaked..
Dr. Cox is very sweet and understanding aswell as a great proffessor! If you are willing to acctually learn what Microbiology is all about take Dr. Cox. He also teaches from his personal job experience making the class more realistic, applicable to real life.
Dr. Cox is an amazing teacher. I was really nervous about taking microbiology thinking that it might be a killer. While the class was difficult, he made me want to learn more and read everything that I could get my hands on. My only regret was that I did not get to take his lecture class. TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY!!!!!!!!!!
This is an instructor who enjoys the subject as well as assisting his students to succeed in their future endeavors. He does not throw any surprises and he actually made this class fun to attend even though the material was hard to study. Also had for lab-awesome instructor.
I had Dr. Cox for Microbiology lecture and lab. He worked harder than any other professor I've had to help us master the material. He is the best professor I have ever had.
Dr. Cox is hands down THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's smart and knows how to teach and connect to real life. He's sweet and understanding. He's Funny and makes the class interesting. Even though I didn't have him for lecture I still watched his online videos and they helped me out on my online class a WHOLE LOT!Take him! You'll Love him!
I was very apprehensive about microbiology, but Dr. Cox made it really very easy to learn and very interesting. He's really very helpful with his handouts and live podcasts of the lectures. Great guy!!!!!!!!!
He is one of the best. He gave us all the tools we needed to get good grades. If you don't make it in his class, you can't blame him.
Dr. Cox is great. I dreaded the thought of taking this class, especially during the summer, but it was not bad at all. Dr. Cox provides you with everything needed to be successful and tells you exactly what you need to know. You can't ask for any more than that.
Great class! Dr. Cox is a very good teacher.
He is one of the best teachers at any school. He truly cares about his student's success. In addition he is the most patient man I have ever met. Study and put in some effort and you will be fine. If you need his help he is more than willing to provide it. Long story short if you get the chance to take him do so without doubt, hesitation, etc.
Dr Cox is the best professor ever!!!! He really cares about his students and gives you many extra resources to help you understand the material. I would encourage anyone to take his class, I learned an enormous amount of material in his class and had a great time doing it!
Dr. David Cox was a wonderful professor. I recommend him to anyone that is serious about learning and want to have fun doing it. His classes are wonderful and I made A'S in the lab and lecture; However, I had to work hard and put in the extra effort to learn and do well. Dr. Cox's is one of the best professors at perimeter.
First, I must admit, this is a challenging subject, but Dr. Cox made it manageable. I would recommend him to anyone who is challenged by Microbiology. He is the best at what he does and his high level of knowledge about diseases you will learn alot that will help you in nursing school. Be prepared to work hard, study and you will do well.
Dr Cox is Amazing! The material is very interesting and be prepared to study hard. Learn it and do NOT memorize the material. Pace your self and MASTER all the review HIGH POINTS. look to understand WHY and HOW ect... Strongly recommended!! I "earned" A; not easy.
He is a graet and helpful rofessor. He willing to help you at anytime you need help. I really recommend you to take him. Plus, his website very helful and easy to understand. You will love this teacher forever.
Dr. Cox is a wonderful teacher! He is definitely a hard act to follow. All teachers can learn a lot from him, simply because he generally cares about all of his students. I highly reccommend him. 5 stars! He is wonderful!
Dr. Cox is a clearly someone who is interested in what he teaches to his students. He has a great wealth of knowledge that he is enthusiastic about. His tests are very fair. His lectures are never boring since he is always caught up on the latest technology. I would definitely recommend HIS course to others (as opposed to other professors).
Dr. Cox is one of the most passionate teachers I've ever had. I chose to take both his lecture and Lab classes. He gives you EVERYTHING that you need to succeed. If you fail, you didn't try. If you ask, he will answer. I didn't buy the book for lecture, but only do that if you are extremely disciplined to study the slides and work your butt off.
Dr. Cox is an awesome professor! I gor an A in the lecture and lab during the SUMMER! The summer @ GPC is only 8 weeks, but he was so patient and he gave us all we needed to know through is online notes (with voice-over)! Dr. Cox is friendly, caring and very experienced knowledgeable in his field. Only wish he taught A&P as well! :)
Prof. David Cox is a great guy and a wonderful teacher.He has a great passion for technology and he incorporates that in his class unlike other professors who would not dare.His notes are on powerpoint with audio and you can easily upload them to ur Itunes. Study,his exam will be a breeze.Loves his students and always ready to help.Take him pls!
He is an excellent professor that I've never met before. I strongly recommend to take his class. I wish he teaches more biology classes. I've learned a lot.
Dr. Cox is incredible! His notes are amazing, and he takes so much time with each student. He is so dedicated to his students and his notes and references are so helpful. He is the best professor and I strongly recommend taking him!!
if you go by his online notes you don't need the book. All tests has lots of bonus ?'s, and he even sometimes curve. Attendance is mandatory until the midterm. You can't fail unless you just don't care.
Dr. Cox is amazing. He is very helpful and easy going. He gives you the slides,the practice tests and the videos to make everything easier. As long as you study his notes and listen to his videos, you will do just fine. The lab is hard, but he explains everything and he give some extra points on EACH test ( lecture & lab). Take him, he is the best!
Excellent professor...You will not find anyone more knowledgable. Added bonus..he's a very nice man that cares about his students. Material and course is not for the faint hearted...it requires a LOT of study. He will give you everything needed for success, the grade depends on your effort.
Simply the best! He gives you everything you need to succeed. If you do not do well in his class, then it is totally your fault. Like I said, Dr. Cox is the best Micro teacher ever!
Dr.C is truly a student advocate. His organization and striaght-forwardness was extremely helpful, and appreciated. However, what separates him from the rest is his ability to put you (the student) in a position to succeed beyond his course.
Best Prof I ever had. He gives you all you need to succeed but you have to do the work. Extremely organized and fair. Frankly, he is the best!
Ok, all you rate my professor lovers. I am one of those students that does not like to rate professors, but I just had to for this one. There is not enought room on this little comment area to describe how wonderful Dr. Cox is. He is kind, caring, patient and so on. Please, if you have to take micro take Dr. Cox while he is still teaching.
DrC is THE BEST Professor if you are considering a medical career. He provides all of the materials for you to make an "A" in the class. 6 exams which are MC. IS a possibility for two of your lowest grades to be dropped if you score "higher" in two other tests. Willing to work with you. Score 88..he bumps to 90. Thankfully, also curves! ;) Go4deGol
awesome teacher he gives you his own website so you do not have to buy a book. if you miss a class you can catch up on his website. 7 test but only 5 count towards your grade. you can email him anytime even midnite and he will get back to you PROMPTLY. i got an A. u will learn alot && if u do all his high points for his test you will get an A,lab t
He is an awesome instructor, very knowledgeable. Book is not needed. You will have plenty of information for the test on his website and print outs. Take him together with the lab. Drops lowest test, sometimes curves, test are multiple choice. He is very a very nice person. Take him
professor Cox makes learning fun. he provides us with a lot of study material which makes it better to grasp the concepts of what we need to know. he makes time to help us with whatever we need help with.
Best teacher that I have ever taken from gpc. Listening and studying his notes will give you a high grade. No surprises on test. Take him for lab/lecture. Dr. Cox makes it so interesting that you will want to go to class. He is soooooo helpful. I hope to get more teachers like him when I go to nursing school. TOTALLY AWESOME! HE IS THE BEST!
OMG!! Best Micro Teacher and great person! In order to get a good grade, read his notes, ask questions if needed and listen in class. Took him for lab and his test are not hard. Dr. Cox makes you want to attend class. I hope to get more teachers like him once I attend nursing school. There should be more teachers and people like him. He is GREAT!!
Dr. Cox is a great & very knowledgeable professor. He is very pleasant to talk to & is always ready to help. He provides lots of useful material in addition to his lecture notes & study guides that will help you get an A. He will also meet with you if you need extra help. Take both his lab & lecture he is the best.
OMG! Dr. C is the best organized professor by far. He is very detailed with his assignments. Everything is laid out for you. He is very patient, soft spoken and answers every question, regardless. It's a lot of work, but he makes it worth it. If you want to pass Microbiology, take Dr. C. You will definitely pass his class. Trust, this is your guy.
The best Professor ever. Learned a lot in this class. Very Organized and answers every question.
Wow, what a great professor. I really enjoyed his lecture, he's very organized, clear, and helpful. Learned a lot from his class - highly recommended.
Dr Cox is the best ever. If is classes are full, please wait til next semester, it's worth it!
Dr Cox is amazing. he really cares that you do well and gives you so many opportunities to do so. he is very clear, organized, and helpful. i love to see professors care about their students because sometimes you don't see that anymore. i recommend him 1000 times! thank you dr c for everything you taught us! will miss you!
Dr. Cox is the BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! His passion is to prepare his students to succeed and he provides every opportunity to make that happen. He is fun, encouraging and very supportive!. You can leave your lame excuse at the door because there is no room for that in his class! He is Absolutely the Best GPC has!!! And so cool too!!!!
Dr. Cox is THE BEST! I waited to have a slot in his class for several weeks during registration, well worth it. He knows what he teaches and he is NOT like other GPC teachers who just read off a slide. GOOD GUY!!!!!!!!! Great Class!!
He is the best professor ever. very passionate about bacteria ;) , an organized, straightforward, humorous guy. I would recommend him to any pre-nursing students.
Dr. Cox is an outstanding professor who is organized, clear and thorough. He knows his pathogens as he is a microbiologist at CDC who works on syphilis. I have a lot of respect for his willingness and genuine interest in teaching students and making them excited about microbiology. He uses real life examples to illustrate concepts.Thanks so much
Dr. Cox is a fabulous professor. Since he works at the CDC he gives a unique prospective on Microbiology. He provides a ton of online powerpoints, slides, tabels, and study questions. He gives his students all the tools to succeed and even makes it fun. Dr. Cox really cares about his students and I highly recommend taking his class!
Dr. Cox is an extremely talented and knowledgable professor. His experience at the CDC makes him the perfect micro teacher, and he really cares about your education. I took this class in the Fall of 2009 unfortunately my father passed away right before midterms and I missed a lot of time. Dr. Cox was understanding and allowed me to make up work.
His tests ran the gambit from easy to difficult depending on the material covered. He is a more than fair grader. Highly Recommended
Dr. Cox is thorough, organized and very much interested in the material that he teaches: microbiology. He uses graphics, brief videos to bring microscopic pathogens to life. It's great having a prof who loves technology and also is a real, working microbiologist. If you like microbiology or need to take the class, take it with him at GPC.
Dr.C is the best professor i have had at GPC. He provides you with a website with more than enough helpful info from ppts slides and videos that you can download on your ipod. This makes it fun to learn and as a result you get better grades. He is easy going and is an Apple fanatic :) He's truly the best and you will never have a problem with him.
Dr. C is the best at what he does; he is very informative, helpful and kind. He provides numerous ways to study for tests these include videos that can be downloaded onto your ipod (convenient) etc. He is very approchable and with out reluctance answers your questions. Wish he taught other classes, would take him again. I highly recommended him!
Dr. Cox is an extraordinary professor. He is very knowledgeable,supportive, with wonderful sense of humour.His website is an excellent study tool and provides the students with countless information-powerpoints, tables, quizzes, and more. Dr. Cox was the coolest instructor I have ever had (counting my professors back in my country).
I highly recommend Dr. Cox because he is always willing to work with his students. He is extremely knowledgable and loves what he does. Thanks Dr. C!
His class is interesting and he helps you as much as you need it! Really like this Professor!
Dr. Cox is an excellent professor. He truly cares about his students, is profoundly knowledgeable in the biological field and will always go the extra mile for students. Dr. C exemplifies what a great educator should be.
I would definitely recommend Dr Cox. He knows his Stuff and also makes it interesting to learn. He gives you the opportunity to drop two of your grades... can't beat that! He has a nice personality and is approachable for any help you might need. His classes fills up quickly so hurry up!
Dr. Cox is one of the most brilliant and compassionate professors I've ever encountered. His classes are not the easiest, but he gives you all of the tools necessary to be successful. You must do the work, but you will learn things that will carry you in your career and a lifetime. He made Micro an enjoyable learning experience.
I highly recommend Dr. Cox for any Biology course you might need to take! I had him for Micro and would take him again in a heartbeat. He is very low key, sweet, funny, fair, prepared, and by far the smartest professor I have ever had!! He makes all of the tools available for you to be successful if take advantage of them. He is very approachable!
Dr. Cox is a very nice teacher and you will learn a lot from his class. You have to study but you can make an A or a high B easily. I took him for Lec. and Lab and got an A, plus I was so sick the whole time. Take him if you want to do good. Study his PPT's for the test. I miss him.
Dr. Cox is an awesome professor. I took him for lab and it was a great experience. He explains clearly and he really wants that his students understand the experiments. Plus, he is very nice and sweet just like a real Santa :). A big hoorayyyy for him :)
It shows that Dr. Cox loves what he does as he successfully and incessantly works to make Microbiology as hassle free as possible for students to an extent that NOT taking his course results in higher coursework with any other professor. He is knowledgeable, helpful, nice, and very clean funny. TAKE HIM; you will love him as a person and professor.
Make no mistake you have to work for an A,but it is worth it!.Dr.Cox wants you to do well but you have to put in the work.Not a easy A but you will get something out of this class that STAYS with YOU!
Dr. Cox is such a great instructor. He is very passionate and knowledgeable in all aspects of microbiology. He is available for help at all times and wants you to understand the subject matter. He is so organized with all of his power points and self-quizzes at your fingertips on his website. If you do the work you will pass with flying colors.
Definitely one of the best professors I've ever had! I enjoyed going to class and Dr. Cox does everything in his power to not only help his students but to keep the lectures interesting as well. Go to class, use the study guides, put in the work and you should do well! Anyone who takes his class/lab is in for a treat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!! :)
Dr.Cox, is one of the best professors GPC has. He is very helpful, when you email him, he is very quick to respond.Micro biology is not easy but when you sturdy the slides, and all the available material he gives you can make an A. you never forget what he taught because it was very thorough. He will be greatly Missed.
Mr. Cox is a great teacher! I really enjoyed his class. He is very knowledgeable in the subject. He is very willing to give any help you may need. He really cares about his students. Very sweet man. Extremely quick to respond to emails! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
LOVED DR COX!!! Teaches at Tyler Junior College in Texas as of Fall 2013. I had him for Microbiology. Great man. Very helpful. Easy A IF YOU put in the effort. Gives you what you need to succeed. Very sweet man. Worked for the CDC so he has many interesting stories. Loved going to class.
Dr. Cox was an incredible instructor. He went out of his way to give resources to help students. If you pay attention in class and do the unit reviews you will do very well in the class. He is very approachable and willing to help in any way he can. Wonderful class experience.
Dr cox is willing to bend over backwards for his students. He makes it to where you will have an A if you do EVERYTHING he says. He doesn't lecture very well but his notes and handouts are all you need to learn the material. I never went to class and made an A. Be prepared to READ ALOT.
