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

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.

This professor's signature is the large quantity of homework, he gives no multiple choice tests, everything is problem solving on paper.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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!
