Loved his class... He's a very good professor!
Makes class interseting but he is the biggest dork
easy class. Could be dry and boring at times. Thorough coverage of info. I learned alot
He was cool
I had this guy years and years ago. Loved him enough to still remember his name. Great class and grgeat professor. He encouraged us to broaden our thought process, something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Great professor. Class gets boring sometimes, but he makes the topics interesting. Easy A as long as you do the minimum work he asks of you.
Good class, helpful professor
easy B if you need an elective but for serious moralists and thinkers class is woefully inadequate
He is a great professor. I learned more in one semester in this course, then I did in my entire life. I loved the work and the material we covered. He deserves honors for his teaching.
Cohens' crtitcal thinking class was very helpful in helping the student discover flaws in his/her thinking. Not only is Cohen the smartest person I have ever met , he is also one of the most helpful .
Dr. Cohen is awsome. He TRIES to joke about everything which makes class relaxing and fun. I worked a little and got a high A. He's a cool guy and an absolute genius - he knows everything about everything.
O wow...This class is easy...every athletes dream! :) Take him..I skipped class like every other day studied for 10 min before the test and I got a B...He is a very goofy guy..makes it fun...("you no good S.O.B") :)
Very interesting class. I took it online so there was very little interaction. Assigns work that gets you to question your ethical beliefs, takes some time to analyze and think about your answers but there is only 1 assignment a week and 1 easy term paper. Pretty easy on grading and provides study guide for exams.
I thought this class was really boring, but it had its good days. We spent lots of time on the things he wanted to talk about and didn't get to what I was interested in. Class wasn't bad and it was easy, and Cohen is a nice guy and is highly intelligent.
I took Into. to Ethics via the internet and the class was pretty easy; however, there was a lot of assignments to turn in on a weekly basis. Dr. Cohen is a good instructor.
EXTREMELY easy... awesome teacher, great lectures and keeps you entertained. TAKE HIM!
I took this class online and it was a breeze! I thought it would be hard, but really it is common sense. The test was so easy! If you just read and do the Questions for Analysis that he tells you to do, you will do great. One major thing you have to do to get an A is to answer the exact question on his study guides! The test comes straight from it!
He was a nice teacher, very boring though, his exams are not tricky at all, just participate in class and study his online study guides, he requires 350 words a week in beleif scan essays, one 1000 word term paper, and a 350 word summary of what you've learned throughout the semester.
VERY EASY CLASS. THIS PROFESSOR KNOWS HIS STUFF. VERY INTERESTING SUBJECT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS FOR AN EASY A.
I took his online ethics class and really enjoyed it. There are two big assignments, a 800 word paper, a midterm and a final. He also gives chances for extra credit through online debates As long as you do the assignments and participate its not a hard class. He also is very good at promptly returning emails if you have questions, and posting grade
I took his online creative thinking class. Not difficult, just alot of writing. He writes all the books and even made the software so there is no fooling him. As long as you do all the assignments and study for the midterm and final you will be ok. Great class for an easy online Humanities. Nice guy also, very prompt returning emails and grades
Dr. Cohen is awesome!
I took his online ethics.. This guy keeps you busy week after week. His tests aren't hard, but his study guide requires you to disect the chapter. Not hard, but never again. Its an ethics class, and I really think he graded me low because we disagreed on opinions...it's an ethics class dude!
Great teacher! Recommend him for an easy A!
I had him for PHI 1103 and he is such a great instructor. For the very first time, i couldn't really get it, Guess it's because I'd missed a few classes then after i ended up nailing his two other exams. Really if you do come to classes and understand the material, read the pages he assigned you before the test and you'll do just fine.
This is ethics so heavy on theory, be prepared to bring your book to every class. Not the most brilliant of lectures, tests are multiple choice but difficult. You must pay attention and read the books. Since it is a required course for the degree there is no choice so be sure to read the material.
Class is easier IN THE CLASSROOM, rather than as an online course. I ended up getting an A in the course online, the Study guides that he gives you for the final and midterm ARE THE EXACT QUESTIONS ON THE TEST!!! just make sure you study the review sheet and you will get an A, I wouldn't do it as an ONLINE class if I could do it again...
This is an easy class; however, the required book is full of gramatical/publishing errors. It just so happens that the author is Elliot Cohen himself, and the book store will not buy back this piece of crap. My book is in perfect condition, and the CD was never used.Anyone taking this class will be forced to buy a new book! Kiss $55 goodbye--SCAM!
Dr. Cohen is brilliant and his books remain helpful to me in life after class. Super easy class. Adorably nerdy guy. I wasn't able to turn anything in on time and I still got an A in the class.
He is very clear, very conscise. If you do the reading and the study guide you will bank a great grade. do the writing assignments and don't fake them and you will do good.
Dr. Cohen's class is really easy. I got a B in it.. the study questions are exactly whats on the test. the 2 papers are okay too i guess, although it does take a lot of time.. i took online.. pretty cool guy
He has a lot of real world experience and makes it known throughout the class. You are tested on articles that are written by him . He rarely goes over or even talks about what you will be tested on in the class. He will spend all class ranting about a topic that should only take 5 min and has nothing to do with what you should be learning.
This class is interesting. I took it online and you use the book often. The big writing assignment was a lot of work, but it was manageable. My opinion on the topic I choose and Dr. Cohen's opinion on it were different but I still got a good grade on it. So don't listen to people who say he gives bad grades if you don't agree with him. He's nice.
Dr.Cohen is a very smart man in which I learned alot from. His class is VERY interesting. He is also VERY helpful and you can tell he has a passion for teaching. I would highly recommend him!!! His tests are fair and there is not to much busy work in his class which is great!
i took his class online and i was super excited about it. he doesn't talk pretty much at all but expects your homework when its due. all of his homework is from the books HE wrote which is kinda pompous; they were semi-difficult to understand. his tests are straight from his books, so DO YOUR HOMEWORK or you'll fail.
Somewhat repetetive, but smart guy. He tries to liven things up. Definitely is active in teaching not passive.
Took on line, reccommended if u r self disciplined. This class really makes u think, a lot. It was pretty stressful but if u put the HOURS in and show that you've really worked for ur answers, u will get an A. The two tests were easy as long as u put the time in to do the study guide. Prof Cohen was fairly good about getting back through email.
Dr. Cohen is a very approachable and kind professor. He really wants his students to learn and think. He is non-judgemental, and extremely bright. I would take more classes of his if I could, I really got so much out of his classes. He's an amazing guy, and very compassionate and understanding.
Took this as a Summer I Online course. Three diff textbooks required. LOTS of written work/exercises. I submitted 6,000+words, but I may have been the extreme. (I did get an A though). As much as I cursed the written work, it absolutely prepared me for the tests. He provides very helpful study guides, follow them and you'll pass without problem.
I am taking his online class, and I am really enjoying it. There's a lot of reading & casebook assignments(6000 total minimum words), but the topics are interesting. I would recommend this class but make sure you have plenty of time to dedicate to it. Only problem I have is he literally takes weeks to reply to emails: You're truly on your own.
Taking him for Ethics in Hum Serv. I think its a pretty hard class, hard tests, but he is a really nice guy and really tries to help you understand. A lot of memorizing and studying required for class. Do not really love the subject, but he is really smart in the subject so If I had to take it, I'd take him.
Dr. Cohen is BRILLIANT!!! Listen closely and you will not only learn the material but, you will also learn about yourself. You will cheat yourself if you take him online. His class is a face to face must!! I wish I had him for more classes!
He can be boring! But he is a good teacher! He can be a little hard to understand sometimes but he will help you if you ask! He knows what he is talking about! Wrote the books himself! I learned a lot in this class! He also talks monotone most of the time. So listen up or you'll be falling asleep in class lol.
Mr.Cohen is a great teacher, I was afraid I would fail since I missed like 7 classes but he passed me with a C. He lets you make up all work and tests up to last day and the only work was 1 essay, 1 summary per wk and 3 hilarious exams (he's very witty & funny).If you respond to a question in class be prepared for a 10 minute conversation though.
he is one of the smartest teachers on this campus and also the kindest and the best. i enjoyed all of his classes and even though it was easy i still learned alot because of his great personality and he actually cares!!!!!
He's a little boring. But he allows for interesting topics in the class and he makes it easy for you to pass. The actuall class discussion were the most interesting parts.
i took his online class. only two tests, but a lot of casebook work, which is mostly your opinion on different scenarios. he gives study guides for both tests and if you read what they tell you to read, the tests are super easy.
Heavy work load on assignments that seem to go unnoticed, however I think they are intended to compensate for taking the class online. Concentrate on the term paper, and final exam study guide, to get a decent grade.
Great teacher know the study guides and do the essays go to majority of his classes and you'll do great very smart and makes learning the material easy!
I took Professor Cohen for an online philosophy course and enjoyed it very much. He makes it easy to understand the material and is helpful if you need it. Do the study guides and you'll have an easy A.
Awesome,really gets students thinking for self. Most of this class is spent in discussions about moral values. enjoyed going to class.
I did not understand anything he taught. He made it complicated. I am happy that it is over!!
He was a very fair and kind teacher. He had a delightful sense of humor and I enjoyed his class. The only suggestion that I would offer would be to eliminate all talking when he is teaching. He has given me a wealth of information and I am grateful. I highly recommend Dr.Cohen as a teacher.
Horrible class, this professor assigns a tremendous amount of homework, but does not grade it before the exam covering it--so there is no feedback from the homework. Prepare to read three poorly written books for this class
I would have fared better taking this class in person, rather than online. The writing assignments are numerous, but they compel you to explore your thought processes. This teacher gives a beast of a test, but is very kind and will go out of his way to be helpful. If you sign up for this class, be ready to work! Not an easy A, but valuable.
Took this in summer, wrote over 11,300 words and spent huge amounts of time researching. Nice guy, responded fast to email. Didn't grade anything until after finals, so had no idea how I was doing or where I needed improvement. Requires 3 books which he wrote that were kind of redundant. Got an A but it was NOT easy, you'll definitely work for it.
Good online class but get ready to work! Because between the exercises and the reading oh and the belief scan its pretty tough but it is do-able! If you need to take a humanities class this is an ok pick but I def liked his ethics class better.. it takes him about a day to email you back but as the chair of a department thats pretty fast!
This class was horrible. The only text are written by the teacher, and they are not easy to follow--using lots of non-"industry" terminology. There were hundreds of required homework problems, but only were minimally credited. The tests are poorly written. The instructor required turning homework in on a holiday(not allowed to turn in early).
Funny guy. Teaches well. Lectures can be a little boring but all you have to do is ask a question concerning the topic and life will spark in the discussion. Exams are fairly easy if you study. Study guides are excellent-tells you everything you need to know. Be prepared to read the book. Nice guy, willing to help, and of course, ethical.
Took this course online for summer one. There's a midterm, a final, and one paper. There are class discussions you can complete throughout the course for extra credit. Make sure you take the time needed to fill out and memorize everything on the study guides. The exams are directly based from these guides. Interesting class.
Took this class during the summer and it was way better than I expected. He responds to emails quickly and is helpful. There's only two tests: a midterm and final,(multiple choice) and one report to do. Cohen provides study guides which definitely is helpful for the test.
The teacher is helpful but quick to be judgmental and borderline rude. The use of 3 books and a website all written or designed by him is rather pompous. The books are poorly written with grammatical and spelling errors. And the website is shoddy at best. This course may be better in person but I would try to take it with a different instructor.
I took this course online (dual enrollment. Dr. Cohen answers emials in a timely manner and really makes you think, even about the simpliest questions you have. I thought his course was thought provoking and I did not think he was judgemental at all. Do the study guides for the exams(midterm/final) and the discussion posts. I'd take him again.
I took this class to complete my humanities credits, it was a little interesting, but it was more difficult online than it would have been in a classroom. I am walking away with a B after putting hours of work into the class. Never met the teacher, or communicated with him.
This class was super boring!! I would've rather chewed glass. I think this class would've been more interesting had I taken it in person instead of online. I passed with a B and I only read 2 chapters all semester. Cohen is one of the fastest email repliers...(repliers? is that a word?. He even replies on the weekends! Love teachers that ck emails.
Took this course online. It's a very helpful class, but expect a lot of reading and exercises. I passed the class with A, but I really had to stay on top of things and work hard to do well and learn. Just do your work and you should be fine. There is a mid-term paper and two exams. Good luck!
Took this course online and received an A. It's an interesting course but have put a lot of hours if you want to do well in the course. Lots of reading and exercises.
Excellent course.
The book is mandatory, and its dreadful. Tests are easy if you follow the study guide. Most of the study guide can be looked up online and get enough of a summary to understand vs reading that horrible textbook. Did not figure out study guide till second test. The two exams are your ONLY grade. USE THE STUDY GUIDE!
the teacher is very quick with his email. he will answer any question regarding the work. it is pretty straight forward. there is a lot of writing. only a midterm and a final. you will receive a study guide before the test. take test at the W bldg. make sure 2 study for the test. the questions on the study guide are exactly what is on the test.
This class was a drag. His lectures are somewhat interesting and engaging although it seemed like every class he repeated the same general ideas...very boring, uninteresting. Study for the few tests and do the simple online assignments and you will get an A.
I can use one word to describe this class: BORING. He is monotone and tries to make it funny but I didnt think his jokes were that funny. Ethics in Human Services is mandatory if you are in the human services major, so bring your laptop and tablet to keep yourself awake. If you study his study guides, you should make an A or B in his class.
Took this course in the spring. Class was not difficult at all. 3 multiple choice exams and one essay. Everything that's discussed in class is on the test and he goes over each topic thoroughly. Used the book more as a reference. Great instructor who knows his stuff, has written tons of books, and is a big player in this field. I've learned a lot!
I really enjoyed this class and the material choice for the class. It was easy reading except for Plato to Derrida. Communication w/in reasonable time. Testing was on the material read and discussed making test questions familiar unlike other classes that make you wonder if you were even in class for that lesson. I Recommend this online class.
Not an easy class. Book is mandatory. First half seemed to be only about what he has written. Term paper was great. Boosted my grade hugely! Took during summer and was paced decently. Just TONS of reading that you have to do. But he gives a GREAT study guide for the tests.
Cohen is fast with emails. I didn't have a problem getting an A. Just read what is assigned, turn in papers when due, and study the guide he gives you. He sets you up to succeed if you do the work!
Dr. Cohen answered all my emails in less than one day. I did a lot of writing and reading but the biggest concern is just formatting the paper correctly. Study guides are awesome as they coincide perfectly with the text. If you read what he assigns you will get a good grade.
Dr. Cohen is very into philosophy and for anyone who isn't then the class is boring. Attendance is mandatory so just show up, even if you daydream. The books are "mandatory to read" but I passed with an A without reading them. There's 1 paper, 3 tests, and extra credit. The tests mirror the study guide so there's no reason not to get an A.
Signed up for Professor Cohen for HUS2500 Online for the Summer 1 semester and it was great. He gives a clear syllabus that has dates that he put in for you to stay caught up while reading the chapters, his exams are from his study guides, and hes a very helpful professor. If you study, do the discussion posts, and read the chapters you will pass.
One quiz worth 10 percent of grade, two exams, discussion boards and one paper. Quiz is an easy A. Gives clear outline for midterm and final, but they are still hard and both are proctored. Discussion boards are given every week but not too bad. The paper is 1000 words. Lots of reading!
Great instructor. Just show up, pay attention and put your two cents in on some class discussions and you should do ok. Books were required but don't think I opened them much, even though he would assign readings from them, still got an A.
took this as a gen ed humanities class. i took this class online and it was extremely easy. there are 3 tests, 1 quiz, and a paper. i did poorly on the first test but that's my own fault. he posts study guides for each test DEFINITELY study those! tests are completely based off them. final is not cumulative. should be an easy A for most people!!!
Professor Cohen was great! He laid everything out for you and always made himself available when needed. I would definitely take him again!
This was a VERY easy class. Easy A! The catch is, you have to sit through long boring lectures. He types all class notes into Word and then before a test he posts the file on blackboard. There was a paper and a few very easy tests (as long as you paid attention) Also, what's on the study guide, is what's on the test!
Hard to read textbook you must buy. Difficult tests. Not helpful study guide. Hope you do well but you have to read a lot.
DO NOT TAKE!! Class lacks structure, no outline of when tests will occur or anything of that matter. The "syllabus" was just a list of internet links. He spent most of the classes discussing unrelated topics, randomly assigned tests. Study guides SUCKED!! Too broad, makes no sense. The class consists of a couple tests and a paper.
Dr. Cohen is great! Hes very insightful and has a brilliant brain. The class is easy, just show up and read the book.
If you are a person that is good at self taught work than this is the class for you. I however, need a bit more participation available for me and this is the first online class that was not like that. I am not the strongest reader and i wish i had known this class is like 99% reading on your own. Literally that, discussions, and the final paper...
Loved this class! 3 exams, 1 VERY EASY quiz, and 1 paper to do (does not have to be in essay format). Exams are super easy as long as you do the study guide. Participation matters only if you're trying to get extra credit for doing the discussion boards. Otherwise, I would totally recommend this class!
Everything is from the textbook he wrote himself. I recommend getting the textbook online thru kindle so you're able to search the book for terms on the study guide. Really easy concepts, very passionate guy- a good class to fulfill the AA humanities requirement.
took online ethics class and the class itself wasnt hard but like any other online course it is self taught. He gives you a schedule and reading assignments and the rest is up to you. You must buy the text book or you will not pass the course. (this saved my life) As long as you do your readings you will pass.
Mr. Cohen is generally a straightforward professor. Read the book material, take notes, pass the 3 - 4 tests, do the essay and it's an "easy A." He is very passionate about the subject of ethics and its theories, probably due to the fact that he's well known publisher. The class discussions can be interesting depending who's in the class.
Dr. Cohen is the best professor. his class is super easy with 1 paper & 3 tests that he literally goes through before handing it out. he's super passionate and knowledgeable about the subject matter he teaches as well as being super successful and decorated through many published books and scholarly articles. I wish every class could be like his!
Dr Cohen was a great professor. He explains material in class but does recommend you read text for more information, which is expected. Test are from material he covers in class, does put up class notes and gives study guides with what will be on exam. I am taking him again for another subject next semester.
I took the class online. I loved the book because it was easy to read not like typical texts books. He & his wife wrote it. Study guides were on point. Just read & study your study guide & you will do great. He responds to email quickly too.
Dr. Cohen is very insightful. One case study was due, provides study guides for exams, which were extremely helpful. Pretty easy course, discussions were in class which provided all of us to interact with one another. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cohen.
One of the best professors I have taken. One paper 2 tests. He offers study guides that mirror the exams EXACTLY. Extremely, extremely caring and accepting of mistakes. Responds to emails quickly. Highly recommend.
Great professor! Really enjoyed his philosophical practices class. Id highly recommend him to anyone who needs humanities, just enjoys philosophy in general. Very fair, and understanding. Will definitely be taking more of his classes!
Mr. Cohen was one of the best teachers I've had in a while. He is willing to help the best way that he can. He gives you extra credit oppurtunities. Going to class is mandatory because sometimes he gives you group projects to do in class. He tells you exactly what you need to know on the exams. Listen to his lectures and you'll do great.
easy A as long as you go to class and take down exactly what he writes on the board. He gives out study guides and its exactly like the test Hes really sweet and kind and as long as u talk to him or let him know why your late or why u had to leave early he will understand Only one quiz and four tests and one final
Dr. Cohen was a good choice for ethics in healthcare. There is One case study due midway through the semester which helps boost your garde. He provides study guides for exams which were just like the tests and goes over them before the test. If you show up to class and put in a little effort this class is an easy A. would 100% recommend Dr. Cohen.
Maybe it was the fact that I happened to be in a very vocal class, but every class was discussion based and interesting. He's incredibly understanding and caring and I strongly encourage people to take this class. Absolutely loved you Professor Cohen!
Professor Cohen was a great teacher for my class! We had one syllabus quiz which was super easy, one paper, & 3 exams including the final. He gives out study guides the week before class, and he's super easy to talk to if you have any questions, and helps you out! Just show a bit of interest & respect and study the guides & you'll pass no problem!
Professor Cohen is honestly the best instructor I have ever had. He has inspired me to achieve more than I ever felt I could reach. Without him I wouldn't have taken an interest in ethics.
Professor Cohen is great. You do have to buy his book because that's where his assignments are from. Very intelligent. Before every test he did a review which was helpful and his tests are easy if you study. Would definitely take again. Doesn't leave any hw except for his case study assignments which are cake.
I don't really do these but I have to inform the people. Easy A class but his lectures are kinda boring. There long but this man loves his subject and he's an amazing teacher. The study guides are super useful. Just pay attention and guaranteed A
Professor Cohen is the best professor you could take for ethics! Very passionate about the subject and does well at explaining everything in a way that is easier to understand. He is nice and easy to talk to and asks lots of questions to students in class to get their point of view. Gives a good study guide for tests just pay attention in class.
I took Dr. Cohen's course online, and I really enjoyed it. I did have to get in touch with him at one point, and he got right back to me. His discussion boards were interesting and his tests followed his study guides. I would definitely take a course with him again.
This was an easy class to take online, however, the grading criteria was not clear at all. On the syllabus there was a clear understanding of what needed to be read and by when, but nothing on the grading criteria. You take 3 test and do a case study each week. So far he has not graded the case studies and I am not too entirely sure that he will.
Great teacher if you're needing a Humanities class easy A!!!! the only book needed is the rational therapy book. Also, 2 tests 1 midterm proctored and 1 final which is not proctored, and 1 essay. Gives a study guide a week before the test which mirrors his own tests and the study guides are on Quizlet both the midterm and final already filled out.
Extremely good teacher, genuinely cares if his students are learning the material and will go into as much detail as needed, communicates his points extremely well. Also his study guides are EXACTLY like the tests it is impossible to fail.
Great class actually enjoyed going
Dr. Cohen was a great professor, he actually wrote the textbook and is passionate about his work, He is very knowledgable and he records his study guide reviews before tests, and always sends an alert before an assignment is due. He gives average amounts of assignments, pretty easy. I'd definitely take another class with Dr. Cohen
Dr. Elliot is an amazing professor. He is well respected in his field. Coursework is only discussion posts every week, and only 2 exams are provided along with a term paper. Need to read the material on the book provided for the class as he asks questions and discuss with students. Once again, amazing and kind professor.
Great textbook, something to hold on to for future references. Do the discussions to the best of your ability and study for the test! (all the answers are in the book) Easy A
Dr. Cohen helped me with everything I need. My name is Spencer Kristich and I'm honored to have taken his class. He has a sense of humor. You have 3 exams, weekly discussion posts, and a case study paper. He got back to me with in minutes cause I needed to contact him once and gave me more time. Very empathetic teacher!
