He is a sweet old man. He is crystal clear with the concepts, because he probably taught JC himself... and his hearing is not exactly intact. But, take him if you can :).

Hes a sweet man, but gets off topic way to easy. He ends up talking about another subject like history more then he talks about math, but he thoroughly explains what your needed to know. He is fair with his grading and tries to help you. He only gives out a few quizzes, and very little homework, which is pretty easy anyway.

Take him! In high school I did poorly in precalc, but he made all concepts easy and gives reviews before exams which are just like the exams. He understands most students are taking math because they have to, therefore he is an easy grader. He tells cheesey jokes and repeats himself a lot, but very nice man! I highly recommend!

He's one of the cutest old men I've ever seen with his little sweater vests and such. The only problem is that he has NO idea what you're saying. Ever.

Absolutely the nicest man you'll ever meet, but I'm not 100% sure that I actually learned mathematics in this class. If you are looking to knock out a math credit, this is a perfect class for you. However, I took this class to prepare for calculus and I learned a lot more about etymology and theater than I did about math.

Professor Cohen is a wonderful teacher. I went into this class having almost no knowledge of math at all, and learned so much. He helped me with personal office hours and the like. Take Professor Cohen if you want to learn and have a Professor that really cares.

If your bad at math this is your man, lowest grade he will ever give is a C he says so. Talks about random things all class but worth it for the grade and credits. Great old man!!

Wonderful professor! Interesting guy with a great sense of humor that keeps class alert. Made math concepts I've always found difficult extremely easy and understandable. He was more than willing to set up out of class time to meet with me as well. Overall one of the best professors I've had at Towson. period.

He's a very sweet old man, but he doesn't listen to the questions that people ask because he will answer basically a whole different question and go off topic. He also gets sidtracked and takes a long time to do simple problems, but the class is easy. Take for a easy A!

He is so easy! you pretty much have to try and fail the class. he gives you so much extra credit, and even allows for you to re-take your tests if you do poorly. I highly recommend him for 119, one of the easiest professors i have had.

In calculus right now and deeply regretting taking this professor for pre-calculus. Easy class, but if you're looking to move forward in mathematics I would strongly advise against this professor.

Very nice teacher. I'm pretty sure I'll get an A. I find the class very easy only because I told Pre Calc in high school. He does stray from the topic easy. Nice man, maybe not the best teacher. I would not recommend if you have to take a higher level of math later.

very sweet old man. can be a little unclear with he lectures and tends to go off topics... i went in for math tutoring after class for a hour or so to clear up the lectures and that was fine for me. Tutoring really helped me. but he is a very sweet guy. if you really understand math this is a class for you!

Super easy A. There are three tests plus the final as your grade for the class. Homework is extra points and attendance is not mandatory. However if you struggle with math, he does not answer questions very clearly.

Cohen really is a sweet old man. overall an easy a, attendance isn't mandatory and homework is extra credit. not a bad class if you know your stuff but he often goes off topic and doesn't answer questions directly. in my opinion he may just be a little too old to be teaching, avoid him if you can.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. He doesn't answer questions, he takes an entire class to finish one problem, and his tests do not correspond with the material in class or on the study guides. He acts disappointed when you get something wrong, and then thinks it's your fault when it's his for NOT TEACHING.

I loved professor Cohen. He was the only one out of three, yes, three math 119 teachers that actually helped me learn the material. He wrote me a couple recommendations and I would take any other math class with him. I don't understand how you could dislike him!?!? If you go to his office hours it will make a world of a difference.

It would take all class to do one problem. He is very sweet, but very old and slow. He doesn't know how to use a calculator. Gets off topic a lot. It's an easy class if you're naturally good at math. He didn't teach half the things on the final. If you're good at math, easy to skip

Prof Cohen is a sweet old man who likes to see his students do well. However, with that being said, it is time for him to retire. To say he can barley hear is an understatement. Even when students in the first row would ask him questions he would not hear them clearly. You basically have to teach yourself from the textbook if you want to do well.

Prof Cohen is old and has trouble hearing, but he does know what he's doing when it comes to math. If you struggle with math I would pick another professor but if you know what you're doing it's an easy A. Review sheets are exactly like the tests but he won't really negotiate if he takes off points for something. HW is in the textbook

Prof. Cohen is a nice guy, but he's over the hill. He's hard of hearing; several times he would ask the same question repeatedly even though people were almost shouting the answer at him. He often makes mistakes copying down his examples, and takes the entire class period to do a single problem.

I'm not particularly great at math, and although Professor Cohen is older and can sometimes go off on tangents, he's very willing to help during office hours and even other times. He's more clear and helpful in those times, and saved me from dropping the course. He respects the students that actually show up as well.

He is honestly one of the best professors I have had. He is hard of hearing and tends to go off on tangents, but he ultimately does the job. Do the homeworks, show up, and actually try to learn. He gives a lot of extra credit so it will help with your grade. The class is not hard overall. He is such a sweetie! talk to him and try to get to know him

Prof Cohen is hard of hearing and goes off on many random rants, but other than that he's a great professor. He will always give you heads up when there is a test and he knows how to prepare you for exams. This is overall an extremely easy class, so you should get an A.
