General ed genetics(upper div)...she is a first time teacher. She started with too high expectations, but she has mellowed A LOT (xtra cred, better study guides, etc). She is nice; she just had to learn. Class is still a challenge, but passable. Don't listen to the whining freshmen in other comments-she is worth taking. Intelligent and fair.

She was a tuff teacher and she did expect a lot out of you but towards the end she cut everyone some slack. She gave extra credit everyday and she did curve the tests a little and she curved the overall grade for everyone. She did expect a lot out of you but it is not impossible to pass.

Very Difficult Class. LOTS to memorize. Must devote time to class. School Board made her curve our grades. Most of class dropped. Go to her office hours and email her as much as possible. know the information inside and out and you'll be fine.

Cooper is a good teacher but she does have high expectations. You need to read the chapter and be in class for the lecture to understand it. The class is not impossible! Just be ready to study. Don't slack off and you'll be fine. She's actually really nice and funny. I had her in my bio lab too. There both passable!

She is a good teacher. I took her six week summer course, which covered 26 chapters and I recieved an A. You have to go to class and take notes, if something is on the test that she did not cover in notes she will tell you. She graded our class test on a curve so that is like a free handout. You need to go to her for help. I would take her again.

She is not a bad professor. Shes a fair tester, nice and funny. People often rate her bad just cuz they didn't study. Class is a challenge, but an A is definitely within reach if u keep up. College isn't meant to be a walk in the park after all.

Most people don't like her but she's actually a very good teacher. She knows what she's talking about. She is actually nice and funny. Most students that dont like her are ones who dont study or try. She doesnt take attendance but you miss so much info if you dont go. I've taken her for 2 semester and am taking her for a 3rd one next semester! :)

Not a science guy, but I was able to pull out an A in her class by attending every class and taking good notes. You have to study for this class, but she is by far the only professor that makes it possible to do well in this course. Her grading criteria is fair, and she gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit.

Dr. Cooper may be one of the best teachers I've ever had! She's fantastic at explaining difficult concepts, and if you go in her office hours, she'll do anything to help you study better. Science is a hard subject, period. Dr. Cooper will put in just as much effort as you will when it comes to your grade, but you HAVE to put in the effort

Yes, her class is hard, but this is college! Dr Cooper is a great professor. She's available during office hours to help and she's more than willing to clarify difficult concepts. You just have to be willing to put forth the effort. Also, if you still write down all the words on a ppt, then you haven't developed your note taking skills enough

I don't usually follow these ratings because professors that don't require a lot of work usually get higher ratings (regardless of their teaching skills). But when I saw Dr. Cooper's was so low I had to comment. She's a great teacher! She's so knowledgable and is very good at explaining things so you can understand them. She's a fantastic professor

she is a great teacher! she will not give out easy A's and if that is your expectation as a science major then reconsider your degree. She is very organized, thorough, and helpful. Her lecture exams were fairly easy, lab practicals are hard! But nothing unexpected. Anyone that left a bad rating most likely failed her class due to their own laziness

Her test's are hard, but if you actively listen to her during lecture, you'll get the A. She's really sweet and approachable and extremely smart. She loves people who work hard and have a curious mind. She's one of the best teachers at this CSU Stanislaus. However, if your lazy, get yourself out of the class. This is class is for learning.

I took Intro to Genetics with Dr. Cooper and I have to admit that at first, I did not like her class. But at throughout the semester, I realized she is such a sweetheart and definitely wants her students to succeed. I took her for Evolution, as well. Yes her classes are a lot of work, a lot dedication required but she is more than happy to help :)

Take her classes if you want to learn! Dr. Cooper is one of the best professors the university has! Her teaching style is very conceptual, and she really turns you into experts. Her exams test your knowledge and primarily come from Powerpoints, and it helps to skim the chapters before and after she teaches the material.

Dr. Cooper is an awesome professor! She is tough but she makes this class interesting! You will learn so much from her and she keeps the class entertaining with her jokes! You do have to study but hey its college not high school.

Dr. Cooper is an extremely knowledgeable teacher; she presents material very well and can be very engaging in lecture. However, she has a problem with the boys. She absolutely favors them. If you aren't one of her favorites, expect half credit on many assignments. She is absolutely brutal. The grade you get doesn't reflect what you learn in class.

As an instructor she follows the rules and is fair to everyone Which I admire. She is funny and easy to talk to and her lectures always have me wanting more! like most science courses it's difficult but do able!

I took human physiology over the summer (6 weeks). The course needs to be your life in such a short time span. I'm a CSU Fresno Dietetics student, but decided to take the course back home in Turlock. Dr. Cooper is hands down THE BEST science teacher I have ever had. She is clear, concise, and teaches with enthusiasm. She is absolutely hilarious.

Her exams are tough, but she is fair and willing to help. There is a poster presentation at the end of the semester.

The lectures were long. Attendance in class is necessary because she will not post her lecture slides online, I would advise staying two weeks ahead of her online modules to be prepared for weekly quizzes. There is a group project at the end of the semester. All that aside, she is very helpful, and willing to help, if you put in the work.

Dr. Cooper is an excellent professor. I admit I did find her intimidating at first, but she's willing to help if you take the time to visit during her office hours. There are quizzes every week, an in-class essay question, and a group project at the end of the semester. Put in the effort and you'll pass easily.

Class overall was not that hard. Weekly online quizzes that were fairly easy. Last week involves an in-class essay that was challenging if you are unsure of the material. Final was a group project which can be difficult. Fun class with a fun instructor. Would take again

Dr. Cooper is a great teacher, this class was very tough but not impossible to ace if you studied. The tests were really really tough, expect A LOT of writing outside of class. I enjoyed this class overall, you will leave with a greater knowledge of population genetics :)

Professor Cooper knows her stuff. I had her for Pop Gen and she explains everything very well and what she goes over in class will be on the tests. Make sure you record her lectures and show up everyday or you will not pass.

Prof Cooper is a very intelligent professor that wants to help students learn more than just surface information. Her humor can be a bit surprising and her teaching style may be off-putting (you do most of the learning outside of class) but the group work did help reinforce the material. Attendance is mandatory. Daily quiz and iClickers.

She is hilarious! Super engaging! I heard a lot of scary things before taking this class but it was great! She expects you to understand the material, but she is very upfront and honest about her expectations. Do your work, listen to her lectures, and you will be just fine!

I know a lot of people struggle in this class n blame her for it, but from my experience she's a really good professor, its just that you have to pay attention to her lectures more than the class notes. Record her lectures, pay attention in class, and then listen to the recordings n take notes from those n you should be good. U can pass this class.

Cooper undoubtedly is a tough professor. But she absolutely knows how to teach, and she lectures very well and clear. She requires nothing but the best from her students; many do not rise to the challenge.. She gives you the tools and advice to succeed in her class. Trust her, do her study method!!

I'm almost done with my BS in Exercise Science and this is definitely the hardest lab course I've taken. She will ask super specific questions on the weekly quizzes, but nothing that she doesn't present. If you follow along you will do fine. She expects a lot, but is very fair. She can be a bit undermining, but she means the best.

Took her class during the pandemic. Attendance is mandatory. I appreciate the way she ran the class. At first it seemed like a bit much, but in reality it works well. Each day you answer a few questions based on the learning content through an app, and some days there are quizzes. There are also a handful of simple journal entries you must write.

Prof. Cooper is my favorite professor ever. No textbook, easy participation points. Makes things really easy to understand. respond to emails asap. if you don't get an A its because you literally didn't try, She explains concept super clearly.
