Dont get discourage the first week of class. His test is show your work test, not multiple choice. Which is how I like to take math test. He responds to you if you have questions also.
Great Professor! He knows the material and is always prepared for class. He will answer any questions and his office is open at anytime.
Very very interesting teacher, he makes class fun
it really sucks, he does not show any problems besides what is on the book and asks questions that are not in the material
He knows the material very well and is always prepared for class. He encourages students to learn and participate. Also, he is open to questions, comments, and help. I highly recommend him as any math professor! The best math professor at MDC.
for stats he is the best teacher for the job. however the material is what makes the class difficult.
He was a good professor that made it eaiser to pass his class he makes his information pretty eaisy to understand.
If you find Algebra hard then dont take his class. You will tend to fail because he is very touch on his Algebra kids. He wants to see ALL work done for the answer. Oh and his exams last 2 days... its a hard class
All I need to day is WHAT???? Thats all he every says. We keep count for every class and he has said it up to 160+ times in only an hour. How can you understand what he's saying when he keeps saying WHAT!!!!
Buy the answer book for the txt, study at the lab or with someone, and you'll be ok. The class can be time consuming for ppl. who are not good at math.
Prof. Cobham is one of the most helpful and patient professors of all. I never thought I would be interested in stats.
Very hard to understand a word that comes out of his mouth. On top of that he moves on to the next chapters about two weeks before you have your exam for the previous chapters so the class can become overwhelming. Dont take this class if you go to school full time and work full time because you will fail. Lots of homework too.
I liked his class. It was very easy. Even though he taught the class straight from the book he explains the work clearly, and if you need additional help his office is always open
Dr. Cobham is a professor who is willing to work with you. If you do the very best you can he will definitely help you out. He says "what" a lot but other than that he is ok. He does give a good amount of homework sometimes...but he gives you credit for what you do.
This is not an easy course as his exams last 2 days!!! If you complete all your homework then you should be able to pass. He gives you extra credit and also curves exams.
I <3 Dr. Cobham! He's very nice and is always willing to help. Though his class may be a tad boring and he assigns 50 million pages of homework (mild exaggeration), I TOTALLY reccomend you taking him.
Doctor Cobham is a great professor. He is fair, reasonable, and is not as hard as people say. He is awesome. Such a cutie! What a teddy bear!
If his class grade was based on tests I would've faileed, but he gives points for other work and thats why i like him, because he knows the class is hard. I passed!!!!! Yaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Cobham is a really great professor who really cares about his students. The exams are challenging, but you are also graded on attendance, participation, homework, essay project. If you try your best and do all your work, you will have no problem passing this class. If you love math, he is the best! He is a big teddy bear!!!
This professor's signature is the large quantity of homework, he gives no multiple choice tests, everything is problem solving on paper. He tries to teach as much as he can by the hour, and so has little time for explanations. expect to use textbook alot. Attendance is important. He does gives you a nice curb for each test.
I Love Taking Cobhams Class. He takes him time to make sure every student understands what he/she is doing. He does give a lot of homework and doesn't collect it until the test, but trust me... it helps to get it done right away. If you don't do the homework, you will fail the tests.
I have him for Statistics, and he's a good teacher. I've heard about his thick accent, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Go to every class, take good notes, and study a lot. He assigns a lot of homework, so don't fall behind with it, and you should be good. Tests are kind of hard and long.
Dr. Cobham is by far the best mathematics educator I have EVER had. I took him for 2 semesters and wish he taught the other math courses that I need to take. He does have an accent, but not hard to understand. He gives LOTS of homework, but if you really want to learn he is the professor to take. Great sense of humor, too! I highly recommend him.
WONDERFUL professor!!! he is aMAZING !! super helpful!! best by far, i took the devil himself Mr.DAGOBERTO MAGANA before taking Dr.Cobham, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! he actually cares about his students! GREAT professor!! TAKE HIM!!
Do not listen to any morons that talk negative about this professor. Those same morons are the lazy pricks that are expecting freebies.
DOCTOR Cobham is a great educator. He really goes out of his way to help the students that show effort. I like him so much I have currently taking a second class with him. Definitely recommend him!
He was grand! He will makes math pleasurable, I didn?t believe that it was probable. Great professor I would take him a million times!!!!!
He is such a nice teacher! He cares about his students...he does give a lot of homework but at least he gives you odd numbers so you have the answers in the back of the text book...If you miss a test you can take it another day and if you don't finish all the homework you can turn it in later.
I cannot find words to describe this Professor. A helpful, kind MASTER TEACHER who cares about every student. For me the word for him is PERFECT. Take his class you won't regret it
This Professor cares about his students, he always has office hours to see him for help. He is very respectful. He knows his material well and explains it clearly.
Really helpful.
This class was very easy! I didn't do any of the hw and still passed with an A. He is a great professor. Only 3 test the whole semester and he curves them. Hw optional for extra points. I strongly recommend this professor.
He is such an awesome professor. I had him for MAT0020. He is very easy to follow. Also he does assign a lot of homework but it is worth it I believe.
Dr. Cobham is a good professor. I got an A in the class. I recommend him.
This professor is SUPER easy. If you wan to rally grasp math and make an A you MUST choose him!!!!
horrible teacher teaches the exact examples in the book and doesnt break the problem down for you to fully understand the work. gives too much homework and on top of that you have to do my math lab aside from the homework he assigns from the book. reason i passed his class is because of his multiple choice test i got a B because i thought myself.
My first Math professor and honestly my favorite. I do recommend him. As long as you pay attention, you're fine. Cares about his students who care to work.
Easy clas to pass as long as you sow up
Very patient professor. Definitely knows his stuff. His tests are exactly what he teaches you in class. Not easy material but if you bust your chops and study a few hours a week and attend class, you should be fine.
Love this professor. He really knows his stuff. He also makes learning whatever kind of math he's teaching very easy and useful. He shows shortcuts and equations that are verhelpful and easy to remember! You want an A and to pass, TAKE HIM!!
FRACTIONS ARE YOUR FRIENDS! He is an amazing professor, really helpful and fair grader. A bit hard to understand (accent) but overall great professor!
AMAZING PROFESSOR! I am horrible at math and he breaks down the problems! He makes it easy to pass the class. He does assign a lot of HW but its kinda optional and helps you boost your grade up
Very nice and funny but kinda overwhelming. He tests you on material he never went over because he says we should already know that. He also a signs alot of homework. And he teaches you other chapters when you still haven't even been tested on the first chapters he already taught so it can be confusing. But hw, presentations, and mathlab helps.
Great professor never been good in math but he explains everything step by step
He has a bit of an accent but that doesn't really hinder the lectures. He gives sooooo much extra credit on tests. every test he added 15 points to it. Also if you do the homework its plus 5 more points. The class itself is extremely easy, stuff most of us learned in elementary school.
Great Professor, I took him for MGF1106 online, he gives you three chances to do the quizzes, extends due dates, adds 15 points to your quizzes, curves your midterm and adds 10 points to final with one simple and quick extra credit, Quizes are simple and homework is done on MyLab, fast responding and communicative and informative to students.
No midterm, final only; 8 discussions, 6 tests, no extra credits. Mastering assignments are easy, but huge volume- make sure start doing it right in the beginning of the semester, do not post pond. Professor is helpful, always answers e-mails immediately. Did not purchase a book, only pass code for mastering assignments.
First time taking a class online and I love it. He is very understanding with his deadlines, giving you plenty of time to learn the material. The class won't be hard if you study and open your book to learn your material. He also replies to emails fast and he's very nice.
I took the blended course which worked out for my schedule. Class was once a week and the rest online. For someone who isn't good at math, I wouldn't recommend this professor because the assignments are done online. There was someone to help in the class but if you need intensive tutoring, you're better off with an interactive professor.
Dr. Cobham is great! The subject itself isn't the easiest, but he surely tries helping you out throughout the entire semester. Gives extra credit!! You are sure to pass his course if you put some effort into it. Highly recommend him!!
Let me start by saying I have NEVER passed a math class in y life the first time around. I do not know why I decided to take him online but it was the best decision ever! He gives ALOT of hw but you have unlimited tries so you can do it over and over until you learn. He is so nice, and ready to help. I barely tried my best and passed with an A!
If you think you're not a math person and wont be able to take it online, I suggest you reconsider. I've taken all my math courses online and passed them. This professor is extremely helpful, he always sends reminders to his students for due dates, and responds to his email quickly.
Professor Cobham is very helpful & constantly reminds his students of upcoming due dates & participation in discussion board is a must in this course.
I couldn't ask for more. It's online so it's self taught but the good thing is that he is always online to help. He respondes quick to emails, he helps you out by giving you extra credit in exams. The material isn't difficult at all, but you do need to be organized with time to find before the due dates. Take him you don't regret it!
Dr. Cobham is very nice. I took his MAT1033 class online, so I did not have much experience with his lecture style. However, he makes success easy. He allows for bonus points if you show your work, and also with attendance. If you struggle with math, you may have a better experience with Dr. Cobham. You might not use the e-book. I was fine.
All the work is done on Aleks so the professor is only there to assist you with signing up for it at the beginning. As far as him teaching you math, that isn't available. But the online course is very easy and you pass as long as you finish it. You won't make a bad choice by taking him. He gives practice tests which is more like a cheat sheet!
He didn't teach a single thing bc the whole course was done online through ALEKS. He just overlooked everyones grades. It was divided by 5 modules, with an in class test for each one. He allows you to take the practice tests and if you get a 70% or higher, he'll change your actual test grade to a 70% if u didn't do so good. This was so hlpfl 4 me
Take him! He cares about his students, bottom line. He wants everyone to get a B or higher in his class and he lets you retake tests up to 2x. I have extreme test anxiety and I suck at math so that saved my grade a lot. Don't be late turning in work and don't miss an online exam or he will drop you. I took this class online. TAKE HIM!!!
great proffesor i am horrible at math but he made it easy to understand really cares about you understanding the material and very understanding i wish he taught all math courses
Honestly, the class was pretty easy overall. All the work is done on Aleks and he doesn't really teach. He's there to just overlook and supervise when you are in the math lab. Honestly, it is so easy to cheat in his class on your phone. He does do notebook checks but barely skims through just to see that youre doing some thing.
This teacher is a gem. If you arent a math oriented person or if math isnt for you THIS IS THE PROF THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE. His grading is super lenient and always has a curve for his test. All that you have to do is make sure you turn in the homework on time, do decent on tests and you'll pass forsure. I didn't put in much effort and still passed
BEST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD I AM HORRIBLE AT MATH LIKE SUPER BAD AT IT AND I DIDN'T THINK I WILL PASS MATH CLASS BUT HE MADE IT EASY TO UNDERSTAND LOTS OF HOMEWORK BUT STILL SUPER EASY I WISH I COULD TAKE ALL MY MATH CLASSES WITH HIM. I RECEIVED A B IN HIS CLASS BUT FOR HOW BAD I AM AT MATH I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY. TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT
He's a really nice professor. The class is basically all computer work. He curves every test by ALOT. If you fail a test he lets you take a practice test as many times as you'd like to pass. Very willing to help out. Wants everyone to pass.
I took online, the homework is due at the end of the semester, midterm & final are proctored exams (like 25 questions), 5 quizzes (20 questions + you have 3 attempts), 4 discussion posts, he gives out extra credit if you do the end of semester survey. Extra points are added to almost all quizzes, midterm & final. 10 out of 10 recommend taking him!
This professor is amazing, he curves quizzes and tests, his tests aren't that hard to begin with. he responds emails very fast, and is willing to help. the only way to fail this class is by not trying. best math professor ever!
Took this class online, was afraid at first because its math but he is very caring and helpful.
Very nice professor, the class was very easy. He curves tests grades as long as you show your work and is always willing to help and talk to you.
Literally so easy! The whole class is basically online and its easy work. Our tests are online as well in class. Attendance does matter because he will drop you if you dont show up more than 3 times. Overall an Easy A
Math is not my strongest subject but I managed to pass this class with an A. The class is all done through ALEKS. There is 5 modules and 5 quizzes; no midterm or final. You must show up to class because after 3 absences he will drop you. Class is easy as long as you get your work done.
The class is all online, you just have to show up. After 3 absences he'll drop you. Even if you miss one class without letting him know, but he'll still give you a chance. Textbook isn't needed just the code to ALEKS. There's 5 modules. After each module theres an exam. You don't have to finish the modules, but its very helpful, refreshing even.
The quizzes are a big part of your grade but they're easy if you do the homework on Pearson. He also gives you 3 attempts at them in order to get the best grade possible. There's homework but only a few and he gives you a long time to do them. He also gives extra credit for taking the midterm and final on the first days.
This is an online class done through ALEKS. Class was mandatory but once a week. You had to complete the assignments by the end of the semester. This is a self-taught class but he will help you if needed. Test are done in class but super easy to do. If you struggle with math TAKE HIM! You will pass with a good grade as long as you get the work done
I have difficulty learning math, but this professor is literally the BEST. It was a blended class and that kind of scared me but he is great and helps a lot. you wont regret taking his class!!
Best professor , i took 1033 my first semester and it was 8 week it was Extremely fast and we had test every other week , the teacher wasnt that great so i failed It . Professor cobham made this class so easy . Hes nice and very understanding , theres no way you can fail his class , unless you do no work and dont show up .
If you need help, ask lots of questions and you need someone to actively teach you, this is not the teacher for you. However, if you're able to learn all on your own, take this class. It's all online and if you fail a test, he makes you retake until you have a 70%. He doesn't teach you how to solve anything, but the work isn't insanely hard.
Dr. Cobham is the best professor I've had by far, he helped me understand the work. He really cares about his students, he's willing to help you at any time. He responds to all your emails. The material is clear and simple, I encourage everyone to take his class. He's the bomb. Follow the syllabus and do all of your work, you'll pass his class.
Best math class i've taken online! he didn't give a cRAzy amount of work, he always had the calendar updated, & he gives you ALOT ALOT of chances to raise your grade if its low!, he's very attentive & encouraging with his students, he sends emails as reminders! . This is my personal experience but i definitely think its worth taking his class!!!
My absolute favorite professor! First time I took online classes and I was a bit scared since you dont see your professors face to face. He is very caring, will do his best so you understand and pass the class, but you have to do your part, just do your homework, study and you will pass this class easy!
Awesome professor, passed my class with flying colors!!! Very easy and nice.
He is very generous when it comes to grading your exams.
Very Understanding gives a lot of help and chances
Took 2 classes with him. I am the one who barely understands basic math, I failed the algebra 1 test in high school 4x. His class is SO easy. All the homework is online while the tests are in class (On Aleks) but dont worry u WILL pass it. He does notebook check, doesnt expect too much. Gives many chances, TAKE HIM! No lectures but youll be fine
I loved professor Cobham! Cares a lot about his students, & is always willing to help. Gives multiple chances for quizzes/tests, & discussions help so much with your grade. Gives small extra credit opportunities but they help so much! Very clear with grading, & super sweet & respectful. Reminds you when assignments are due & everything. TAKE HIM!
So I was skeptical of taking an online math and wow... He actually cares about his students, and wants them to succeed. I was surprised he would remind you of things that were do, cares and allows multiple attempts on assignments. He gives great feedback and since math is hard for me Im surprised I passed. Great guy 10/10. He is a GEM!
He's great took him spring2o2o online.. I missed a quiz and he literally called me to hurry and take it or he'd have to drop me, which he didn't have to do. He gives you 3 tries on the quizzes but DONT take the third try unless its really needed because even if you got a 90 on the last try he'll only give you a 70.
Absolutely take this Professor! Professor Cobham is very clear about what to expect from the course-he emails lots of reminders too. There are 6 tests, 6 hw assignments and discussions. Lets you retake tests 2x until you receive a passing grade. Gives study guides for each test including midterm and final. Gives extra credit to help your grade.
Hes a good teacher. The work is on ALEKS and it gives clear instruction but if you dont understand then hell give you even more assisstance. The tests are based on the modules that he gives and its not hard if you do the work. He is respectful and understand him.
Took this professor through MDC Online. His work is easy to understand and he is easily accessible through email. 6 tests and a midterm. Test 5 & 6 proctored and the midterm is proctored too. Hw is on pearson my stat lab.
Best math classes I've ever taken, was an EASY A. Highly recommend this teacher/class over ANY others!
Take him! Even though you have to read in order to understand (doesn't explain anything), you have two weeks to work on each lesson at your own pace. Only one quiz and one discussion board per lesson. He always adds extra points to quizzes.
I took this professor in Spring 2021. He's so caring unlike other professors; he gives you extra points and sends reminders. I would definitely take this class again! :)
This professor is so amazing. I took him in the spring and because he decided to drop my two lowest grades I received an A. The online homework can sometimes be difficult, but make sure to use the examples they help A LOT. Additionally, there is no final only a mid-term, which is the same as the study guide, only difference is the numbers.
All the work is done via Aleks. Not sure why we had the professor. There was no lecture or teaching. Show up online and then work on your Aleks pie. If you have been out of school for a while, good luck. The extra credit is simple. There is a test every other week. Hopefully future math classes have more teaching and not just starring at a screen
Online class. HW on mymathlab, total 6, ranging from 25-75 questions with 2 weeks each to work on, late submission deducts points. Quizzes (6) due same day as HW. Proctored midterm, no final. Requires long, detailed discussions posts with examples (7). Got to pace yourself with the work and you should get an A.
All of the work is online. This is basically a self learning class so If you like having someone teach you then don't take this class. The professor didn't teach at all. He just told us when to have the work done. Take notes and show your work in your binder because at the end he has you take pictures of all your notes and email them to him.
Honestly may have been the easiest and most nonchalant class I have ever taken. Professor makes the assignments we have to do very clear and answers emails. Also gives study guides to each test that he gives. 10/10 take it.
Doesn't care about his students. crazy grading scale meant to fail the students. Test are back to back giving little to no time to actually study. homework doesn't even matter on the grading scale. If you suck at taking tests or exams don't take this class.
Listen, Professor Cobham seems to be a nice person, I'm sure he's a good person, but the man does NOT teach. You're on Aleks teaching yourself everything, and sure, some of the explanations are helpful, but majority of them aren't. It feels as if you are set for failure, if you understand a topic, then good, if not? My condolences to you.
This professor is literally an angel sent from above. He will do everything in his power to help you understand anything and not let you fail this class. I really do wish there were more human beings like him in this world. Please I do encourage you to take him. It was a pleasure being one of his students.
Definitely recommend him! He gives out study guides for quizzes, including midterm. He cares about his students! He makes everything clear in the syllabus. Very easy class (:
this class was incredibly easy.... the professor doesn't really teach or anything but it's fine because you can do the work all on your own at your house. I also knew someone who took his class and aced it really easily by cheating the entire time. I took it and it was pretty simple especially when you can just review the work and study on your own
Took class with this professor because I read reviews saying he provides a study guide for quizzes. THERE ARE NO STUDY GUIDES .Math is my worst subject & I really needed all the help I could get. Professor answers emails but the content of this class is super difficult. Most of the concepts were ones I've never seen before & you teach yourself.
There is a heavy work load with back to back tests, and no time to prepare. you have to take 30 pages of notes which you cant use for exams, so you have to rmr several complex formulas, you are set up to fail, all things considered he is not lenient whatsoever. He does not lecture at all for a complex class like this. Srsly dont do it in person xox
Coming from a student who is not that good at math, Professor Cobham was a great professor. 6 quizzes, 6 homework assignments and a proctored midterm. Will take him again for my second math credit. BEST MATH PROFESSOR EVER!!
I am terrible with Math and I end up with an A. You'll need to do your work on time, but that's it. Everything is very clear and organized. Won't give you a hard time.
Very sweet professor. This class is fairly simple although there is a lot of assignments. If you make sure they dont pile up you'll be fine. He gives you the dates for each quiz during class and you have to be come to class to take them. 1 quiz a week + the online work that requires you to take notes which will be graded
WORST PROFESSOR EVER! HE DOES NOT TEACH AT ALL WHICH MAKES NO SENSE AS TO WHY WE NEED TO SEE HIM IN PERSON IF HE DOES NOTHING TO HELP STUDENTS. I HONESTLY BELIVE HE LEAVES HIS OWN REVIEWS BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY SOMEONE WOULD THINK THIS CLASS IS "EASY" HE SETS HIS STUDENTS UP FOR FAILURE, ALEK MAKE NO SENSE WHAT SO EVER! DO NOT TAKE CLASS
Hes Good if you wanna cheat, really easy to cheat on his tests. Attendance is mandatory tho, and he doesnt teach nothing (so not your professor if you wanna learn) but if you just need to pass with an A, that's easy.
definitely recommend for this course! super easy, super fast, just be on top of ur work and ur guaranteed a good grade. also midterm and final were cake and short
Took this class with Professor Cobham - he makes math super manageable, even for those who struggle. The assignments are clear, and Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for quiz prep.
I would not recommend taking this professor at all !!!!! Especially if it's online this class makes no sense and you also he is very strict with his grading. You don't get no chances if a work is late if it's late you get an immediate withdrawal. He assigns so many homework the videos that we have to watch don't even make sense. Tests are proctored
Cobham's class isn't the EASIEST but it also isn't HARD. He doesn't teach you, you have to teach yourself everything via ALEKS. It didn't take much effort to find the right answers and the testing environment was pretty relaxed. Attendance is extremely MANDATORY, if you miss 1 class, he'll kick you out unless you email him prior. He can be strict!
