wow!!! A very funny guy, always willing to help the student even after office hrs. I totally recommend it, Excellent professor.

Great professor. Highly recommend. Very smart, and funny in his own way. Does a very good job associating problems to real life stuff. Always willing to help you. Algrebra has always been a problem to me, his way of teaching helped me better understand the subject. You would want to have him as part of your circle of friends.

he is very nice

Easily one of the best teachers I've encountered at UMass. Presents material clearly and concisely. Seeks to help students in any way, yet encourages independent learning. Not for slackers, the apathetic, or those seeking an easy grade. Highly respectable.

The best professor ever. i'm totaly in love with him. Always there to help you wether its math or any other topic. if you attend all the lectures you will do good on the test. Since its stats your grade depends on how well you did relative to the class. So if you at first get low grades, dont worry he curves like crazy at the end.

If your a student who has a problem with doing math homework then this is defenetly not the class for you. Look foward to studying and if your expecting to pass his class with a good great then i'd suggest you meet him half way for it ;)

clear and consise

Felt he didn't do an adequate job teaching. He would pretty much just read out of the text book and didn't work enough practice problems. On the plus side the scale is huge and i though i was failing but had a C

very good at teaching, great sense of humor! makes any hard concept very easy to understand! with him math will be your favorite subject!

His surveying calculus class is like having a tutoring session in Calculus. He uses a variety of teaching and testing methods, which allows diverse students the opportunity to learn the material.

Very high energy and clear; his exams are somewhat difficult and require a lot of memorizing rather than learning. His choices for materials are very good and helpful. It is very obvious he is there to teach rather than lecture so if you put the time in you will do fine. Attendance is a must and do as much homework as you can.

Prof Cooper rocks! Crystal clear on explanation of concepts. Exams are similar to the problems he does on the board. Very easy to talk to, friendly, and actually cares about students' performance. Not an easy A, but this prof is highly recommended.

Excellent professor; very intelligent. I am not a great math student, but worked very hard, attended almost every class and managed to pass. www.justmathtutoring.com was a big help. Do your homework, don't get discouraged with low test scores and pray for your life!

Prof. Cooper is excellent! (I took Calc. 3 times with Prof. Roche, and always failed the 1st midterm. Well, not this time!) Cooper dissects the concepts and formulas, and explains them to you in simpler terms so you understand. He makes himself available outside of class for help. Pay attention in class, do homework regularly and you'll be fine.

The idea behind showing up to the classes is that you learn the key concepts from him. He'll do relatively easy problems on the board, but when it comes test time, don't assume those are what you're going to be tested on. That being said, his tests are insanely difficult, however the problems come right from the book. Tests are scaled.

Though the classes are easy, the tests are very hard. I took him the first time and dropped it because I thought I was failing. I took him the second time around and found that he was taking the problems directly from the book. There's no homework, but if you do the problems in the book on your own, you'll pass with an A. His scale is also insane.

He is a nice professor. He is very clear when teaching so much so that everything he is doing in class seem easy. Once it comes to the tests, THEY ARE HARD AND HE DOES USE TRICK PROBLEMS. This is unfair because students learn it one way and then he does not even ask the problems the way students learn it so a lot of people end up failing

He is an unfair grader. He takes off 2 points for every question you get wrong which translates into the possibility of receiving a negative score. Even though a lot of students in all of his classes are failing he isnt even offering some sort of extra credit assignment or anything,

Extremely available for students. He is even willing to spend large periods of time helping you in classes other than the one you are taking with him at the time. I also asked him to help me start choosing career paths and he sat down with me and mapped out all my options in great detail. Unbelievable teacher. Even better person.

Very helpful teacher as long as you utilize the office hours. You get out what you put in and it was a great learning experience.

Excellent professor! Professor Cooper is very dedicated, helpful and an outstanding professor. If you are willing to learn math very well, this is the professor to take.Thanks to Professor Cooper I have really learned advanced mathematics. I honestly fully recommend him to future students. He is an outstanding professor!

Prof. Cooper was the best math teacher I've ever had. As a student that struggles with any type of math, I was dreading taking the class. But Cooper's teaching style is to clarify & refine until everyone gets it. Its a very "no one left behind" approach. His tests are difficult & he's BIG on "trusting yourself". Just ask for help & you'll be fine!

he uses any means possible to make this subject relatable. Not only that he is available to students, even outside of office hours, he even offers to skype if needed.His exams are challenging but not rigged, I found some of the questions are similiar to the ones in the book. he grades pretty fairly.See him if you have trouble he is willing to help

Although I usually struggle with math, he really took the time to explain all the concepts in an understandable manner and made the course as easy as possible. If you go to the classes and study you will do well. And, he is ALWAYS available to give you help and answer questions!

The class was extremely interesting and the professor made it very easy to understand. I'm not a math person myself but I enjoyed the class and attended all the lectures. The exams were fair and he was willing to meet with everyone to discuss mistakes and problems. Overall impression of the professor was great.

Class lectures were good and easy to follow. Tests were difficult but fair since problems come directly from the textbook. Doing Homework problems is a MUST!!! Final Grade calculations are fair.

Prof Coop is easily the best professor at UMass. His course requires work, because it's not the easiest subject. However, his lectures are awesome, and he's always available to help! He's old school, which is great. His requirements are clear, and the grading very fair. You will get what you earn in this class, and have fun doing it!

Take this class. Seriously, Prof Coop's teaching style is engaging and clear. He breaks down his subject to make it easily understandable. If you want to learn the material and enjoy your semester, take this class. If you don't put any work into the class, don't expect to do great, but as long as you do the assignments, you'll do awesome!

Great teacher. Keeps it as interesting as he can...it's statistics. Fair grading. Just go to class and you will do fine. Test questions are straight from the book.

Teacher is an expert on the subject and shows a huge interest. Very willing to help students and explains all material extremely well. Go to class and do the 3 homework assignments and you shouldn?t have trouble with the tests. Recommend this teacher if you actually want to learn and understand what is going on. All around great guy.

Excellent instructor. Well prepared and organized for every lecture. Must use the textbook in addition to his lectures and continuously practice problems. He is a fair grader. Would definitely recommend.

Professor Cooper was always willing to take time out of his day to help answers any and all questions I had which was extremely helpful. Even though the class moved slow due to other students not trying as hard he still was always extremely professional and helpful in answering all questions.

Prof Cooper is an excellent teacher. He takes sufficient time to explain major problems in an understandable, interesting way.I liked that he motivates students that have trouble and offers help outside of the class e.g. for homework problems. With his excellent time management he provides the students with all they need for the final exam.

Professor Cooper runs a difficult curriculum but provides very clear and concise lectures. He makes himself available to all students off hours. Many students complain about his test being hard but that is because they haven?t taken the time to do the homework beforehand to make sure they really understand the processes. Great professor!

Professor Cooper was more than willing to help students outside of class or answer questions during class. He cared that his students understood the material. Real life examples were used in class and there was a thorough amount of review time for the final exam. High quality professor.

Course is challenging and demands a good amount of work, but Cooper's explanations during class and office hours help to make the material much easier to learn. Expect to do a decent amount of homework problems(more than just assigned homework) to make sure you are ready for the tests. I believe he graded on a curve for my class. Fair grader

the subject is challenging but the professor is very helpful and meets with students regularly to go over homework problems. dont slack off coz you will fall behind and have a hard time passing this course. the exam questions are similar to the assigned homework, so its helpful to attempt all the problems and have him check it during his office hrs

Prof Cooper is the man. I am a student who taken college algebra and pre-calc years before I took this class. the way he teaches the class is perfectly clear and concise and really allows someone who has rusty math skills to really catch up and regain skills. tests are hard but if you put the time in no problem

Great teacher. I attended every class, and the class was full throughout the semester (expect around holidays...), the lectures were clear and engaging, the test's questions came straight from the book and the Prof Coop offered extra study guides to prep for exams. He's easily one of the best teachers at UMB, you will not regret taking this class!

This guy is the best in the math department. His teaching style is entertaining and informative, exam questions come right from the text, and he is the most available prof out there for extra help. He prepares students for the exams really well. If you can, definitely take this class with Prof Coop!

Good prof. Always willing to help students when needed. Great guy

Every once in a while, you come across a teacher who you know you'll never forget. I loved taking his class, and not only is he incredibly clear, helpful and available, he's also incredibly entertaining. You'll definitely learn much, and retain the information. Highly recommended.

This is one of the greatest teacher's I've ever had. Prof Coop is easily approachable, crystal-clear and humorous. Students who don't like his style are slackers who expect to slink through classes and receive A's without earning them. Prof Coop teaches the material in a personable, fun way, and you will definitely learn a lot and enjoy it!

Great guy. Helpful if you take the time to seek him out. Scoring well in the class class requires a lot of practice. Exams are manageable if you do many practice problems. His grading is too scattered, and I did not understand his way of scaling. I never knew where I stood with my grade in the class; which can be uncomfortable for some students.

This is a complex class - but he makes the subject understandable. He frequently offers to explain where students stand, especially if they need help with pass/fail decisions, and is always available for extra help outside of class. Great professor, great class. You won't regret it!

Attendance not mandatory, but crucial. He goes very quick, you depend heavily on the book and homework. If you don't do the homework you will fail. Tests are fair but difficult. You lose points for wrong answers and no partial credit on work it's either right or wrong. He is always available for help, so get it and do the work.

The class is challenging. Attendance is not mandatory, but definitely crucial. He goes through the material quickly, but clearly. I highly recommend keeping up with the homework, you will likely not pass the tests without practicing the material. He is very available during office hours and extremely helpful to those who seek help.

You need to go to class for him, even though he doesn't check attendance. He goes through the stuff really fast, and you'll get lost if you don't go. Do his homework and go to his office hours, it will help you! He's very nice and helpful during office hours (if you can get over his stats students)

If you need to take 129, this is the professor to take it with. He is very clear, patient and available for help. The material isn't easy, but he breaks it down so that even my grandmother can understand it! If you go to class and pay a little attention, you'll do great! He will prep you really well for exams, so no reason to worry.

Great professor, solid class. I have taken calculus at another school, and taking it with Prof. Coop totally changed my outlook on math. He is clear, easy to understand, and highly approachable. His easily accessible office hours really help, and he prepares us really well for exams. Great teacher!

Hi there! I really enjoyed taking this class. The professor's lectures were fun and humorous, and despite often stressful material, I always looked forward to classes! You won't regret it!

Class was much easier than expected! I was so scared about this class, but right away, I could tell that the professor's lecture style would keep it do-able :) Turns out, I did just fine, and even had a good time! I'd take another class with him for sure.

Like OMG, proffessor cooper is like so awsome! I am like so totally bad at math, barely made it in 2 this clas and was super happy to get an A!!! If i can like get an A, u can 2!!! yay!!!

If you expect to take this class because you think it will be easy and the workload will be light think again. Professor Cooper requires hard work and attention to detail. Although he explains the concepts clearly the subject itself is difficult. If he sees that you are putting in the effort he will help you and you WILL be grateful for his help.

Best teacher award! Cooper is wonderful. He explains the material in a clear, easy to follow manner. He genuinely wants his class to succeed + is always available for assistance. The class does require a great deal of persistence as attention during lecture is mandatory for success as well as completion of homework assignments. But Coop is great!

Professor Coooop is a normal guy and easy to talk to. His class is challenging, but if you do the homework and take him up on his weekly extra credit your sure to do well.

I have never met a Professor who was so involved and willing to help his students. He really wants to get to know you and i felt important in his class. He stresses going to office hours, which is key to getting the grade you want.

Great at explaining material, but exams are extremely difficult & he doesn't give ANY partial credit. HW is 40 problems per section, collected at the end of the month, NO late exceptions. Encourages office hours, but very hard to receive help when so many students seek his help. If you're absolutely terrible with math, I would not recommend Cooper.

Excellent. Prof. Cooper is the most accessible professor at UMB, with frequent office hours and one-on-one appointments. The key is solving many practice problems. He gives extra points for solving quiz questions during office hours and for submitting homework. His exams aren’t difficult if you solve practice problems regularly. Great Prof!

This guy is awesome at teaching statistics and is extremely clear on the material he teaches. But just a warning the tests are worth 90% of your grade and hw is 10%. His exams are hard and the hw is around 30-40 questions per chapter for about 9 chapters every month which is collected by the end of the month....

He explains complicated material as clearly as he can. The material is still complicated. 90% of your grade is from three tests and one exam. The tests are very short like 4-5 questions; getting the entire answer correct is imperative. The textbook wasn't so helpful. Office hours are super crowded most of the time. Get tutoring.

Very good teacher and incredibly helpful. Go to office hours on Friday when there are fewer students seeking his help. The exam questions come straight from the book plus he does a good job telling you what material to study. If you really want to learn statistics and can invest the time to do so, he is the best.

Coop is the kind of professor who is always willing to go out of his way to help students. He doesn't give A's away, but he makes himself available to students unlike any other professor I have seen. He explains conceptual concepts clearly, and will do so in a manner of ways as to help students understand. It is evident that Coop likes teaching.

Best math professor I've ever encountered. It can be a difficult class-almost half dropped it-but Coop will stay after to help you, meet with you 100 times a semester, give you help with whatever you need. You learn the subject matter and he's an incredible guy. Never been prouder of a B in my life.

Very clear material and pushes the students to work hard.He also provides a lot of help in his office hours.But he is not an easy grader and does not give partial credit in the exams.

This is the best professor I have ever encountered at UMass Boston.If you want be inspired or motivated to achieve a greater goal in your life take statistics with Professor Cooper. Cares about student progress and is always eager to help you when you are struggling. I was so proud to earn a B+ in that class.

Pro Cooper is very willing to help students. His office hr is very long, but always crowded. He is very happy that u have questions to ask him. He has 3 tests, 20% per each. Final exam 30%. 10% hwk and participation.He has quiz on office hr that can add 2 more points each time if u get correct. If u want to learn sth,choose him!

very helpful professor, love to answer any questions that students have. Encourage students go to see him at office hour.

Best instructor I have worked with! Lectures are very engaging, and does an exceptional job of preparing students for exams. Holds himself accountable to students in a way that few instructors do, and really works to rebuild your confidence when you're struggling. UMB is lucky to have him - if you need a stats class, take this one!

Professor Cooper is one of the best professors! He genuinely wants his students to do well and goes out of his way to meet with students after class and help them with anything they have questions about. He always makes class interesting, has a great sense of humor and presents the material in a way that actually makes sense. Take his class!

He's a very good professor. He's helpful. His exams are easy. His home works are long but helpful.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND,CHALLENGES YOU.REQUIRED HW:5 PROBS FROM EACH SEC;NTBK CHECK 1 WK B4 EXAM.3 EXAMS&FINAL.FINAL IS CUMM.DOES NOT DROP LOWEST.EXAM ?S ARE FROM HW BUT ARE HARDER THAN CLASS PROBS.EXAMS HAVE A LARGE SCALE.VERY AVAILABLE TO STUs W/OFFICE HRS&EMAIL:VERY PATIENT AND HELPS W/HW.DO AS MANY HW PROBS AS POSSIBLE.YOU EARN THE GRADE YOU RECEIVE.

Professor Cooper is the best Professor at UMASS to take this course with. This class is very difficult, but if you do as he says you can make it through. I never worked so hard for a B-, but also was so proud of myself. You must attend class and do all the homework. Go to his office hours as much as you can.

Great professor! It's not an easy course, but he'll do everything he can to make sure you get through it successfully. Also, heads up... he may gchat you. Don't worry, you are not the only one! He just likes to have a good relationship with his students.

Great prof. I wasn't doing well at first and my work made it difficult to go to office hours. He contacted me on g-chat and g mail to help me learn stuff I missed. went out of his way to help.

He is a great professor. He makes the material extremely easy to understand and tries to use real life examples to assist learning.

Have had him for 2 semesters now and he is easily the best instructor I have worked with at UMB. Excellent classroom teaching, and extremely accessible outside the classroom as well. Clearly wants to see students succeed, and goes above and beyond in helping them. I would highly recommend this instructor for statistics or calculus!

Coop is hands down one of the MOST influential professors I have ever had. He goes WAY ABOVE and beyond for his students, esp if youbare willing to work hard. He cheered me on and was ALWAYS available when I needed help. Highly recommend him for stats!

Professor Cooper really cares about his students' success in this course. The class difficult; it moves quickly and involves lots of studying. Unless you're a genius, you HAVE to do the homework. But Cooper spends hours outside of class helping his students - he's a very nice and very dedicated guy.

Best Professor hands down. The class is not easy, but professor will try his best to help you. His teaching is very clear. He received PhD from Harvard and a very smart person. Very caring to his students. Take his course, because you don't want to waste your money and time to some other professors that don't know how to teach like Prof Cooper

I can only imagine what my life would be like if i met this teacher earlier on in my academic career. he is a Godsend for mathematics. i nvr thougt i would understand calc. he takes baby steps , so if math isnt your thing hes perfect. and hes funny. i would have a beer w/ him. hes a very understanding and nice.

One of the best Prof in this school

Professor Cooper is honestly one of the best math professor i have ever had. You will really learn and understand stats and if you show that you care he will do his best to make sure you understand so that you can get good grads. His exams are what he explains in class. And if you do the homework you will do good

Extremely hard grader. Course is kinda unbalanced. The former 2 tests is much harder than the final regarding to the workload and time for preparing. He is very clear though. But if you wanna get a decent grade from this course, better think twice. No matter how hard you work at the second half of the course, he will disappoint u w/ his grading.

Prof. Coop is one of the best math professors I have ever had! He really cares about his students and gives you the tools you need to succeed in class. He always prepares you for the tests and unlike other math professors he takes the time to help you understand the material! This class is not an easy A but You get what you put into it! Take coop!

Coop is hands down one of the best math professors I have ever had. Unlike most professors he takes the time to make sure you really understand the material! Coop gives you plenty of opportunities for points in the course as well as plenty of extra help when needed! I recommend coop as a professor! Work hard and you will get the grade you deserve!

This professor is great, he explains everything very clearly and if you still need more help outside of the classroom he has office hours available that are pretty accessible and very helpful. This course is a lot of work but I worked very hard and am proud with the grade I received because I know I did everything I could! He's very good!

Professor Cooper is great! This course is a lot of work and fairly difficult but he is very helpful and always available for extra help. I worked very hard for my final grade and I know I did everything I could to do my best with his help. He is a very good math teacher!

Coop is a diamond in the rough that is UMB. He's ridiculously smart, nice, and is pretty much always around for extra help. I would highly recommend going to his office hours if you're having difficulty with anything in his class. He pretty much smacks everyone else in the Math department hands-down. Take a class with him if you get the chance.

Such an inspiration. Not my strongest topic but with his help it was one of my favorite topics. Its important to do all homework and u go to office hrs. He challenges u with quizzes and is very generous with extra points. He makes math supper easy to understand. Take his class not only ull do well but you also will have his support no matter what.

Prof Coop is not only a great teacher but great person in general. It's difficult to fit in and get across clearly all the information that is to be taught in the course but Coop makes himself extremely accessible to his students and really truly wants to help all of his students-- offering various means of help and various times to get it.

He has undergraduate, law and economics degrees from Harvard and the best part--he is teaching at U Mass-Boston! His lectures are clear, interesting and engaging. I studied hard in Math 135 for my A grade and you will too. He doesn’t give gifts, but he is a fair grader and he will do everything he can to help you succeed.

GREAT GUY

Professor Coop is such a great guy. He is genuine and, helpful towards his students, always convincing them that they can succeed. Math is not my strongest subject, but I found Professor Cooper to be really helpful. He allowed students to show up at office hours and earn extra credit, and even gave extra credit for answering questions in class.

Best math teacher I've ever had. I'm not good at any math, but he made calculus bearable, but he doesn't pull any punches. He will take the time to walk you through any issues you have, even outside of work hours. I can't recommend him enough. If you have to take a math class, take it with Prof Cooper.

Professor Cooper is a great professor that is willing to offer his help to you even when you are not currently enrolled in one of his courses. He is an inspiring teacher whom believes in his students and shows it. It was a pleasure to be his student! The class is hard, but he does his best to break material down and make it as clear as possible!

I needed help finding out what class was appropriate for my program and Prof. Cooper went out of his way to help me. I had never even met the guy and he was willing to help.

I took math 125 on spring 2015, I was amazed by the professor. his teaching method is very clear and ez to catch on. he has certain office hours but always stay pass as long as there was a student. although my test grades weren't high, I was barely getting a C but he recognized my capabilities and pushed me, as a result, I aced the final completely

I took math 125 on spring 2015. The teaching method was very clear and ez understand. Though, he has certain office hours but willing to stay pass as long as there was a student. my test grades weren't high, I was barely passing but he recognized my capabilities and pushed me, I aced the final completely and brought my grade up an entire letter.

Most available teacher on campus! but he is so busy so many students go to his office hours. He is nice,clear,smart,and helpful. but his tests are tricky,hard, and always short answer, with tough partial credit. If you want to learn math, take him. But hardest C I ever worked for.

There is not enough space here to write all the good things that make Professor Cooper the best math teacher at UMB and possibly in the world. Invest in his course and you will be investing in yourself. He will teach, challenge, show, push and help you to be the best student you can be. Never give up & it will be worth it, I promise.

Good professor - Made sure content was understood and applied to material.

Dr. Cooper is simply amazing - gives clear explanations, will work with you as long as YOU show you are working hard too, gets to know students so he can give examples that are applicable instead of just tossing numbers around. Be punctual and actively engaged or you will be lost bc there is SO much info to cover.

Knowledgable, extremely patient, and receptive to student's learning processes. Really set the bar high! You can count on him to be available if you're willing to put the work in, so be sure to take full advantage of his office hours! Dr. Cooper truly cares about his students education and is passionate about sharing his expertise. Coop is the man!

Great Professor. Not only does he care about his students, he'll go above and beyond for those who need the help and ask for it. Always available before class to help you better understand the upcoming lecture.

Coop is the best math professor I have had at UMB. He really takes the time to explain material in class/ go over problems & is always available for extra help during office hours. We had 3 tests & final. I personally struggled in calc; he really helped me get through it by his encouragement, positive attitude& great teaching. I HIGHLY recommend!

Really great professor, lectures were at a fast pace but as long as you keep up with homework it's not bad. He's always asking if people have questions and is more than willing to try to explain himself in a better/different way. Tells you exactly what to expect for tests and the final. As long as you listen you'll get an A!

Professor Cooper is genuinely invested in helping students learn and succeed. His lectures help clarify the book material, and he's funny. Don't skip lecture and go to his office hours. I also recommend doing extra book problems. His test are fair, but you must do the work. He is always available to help. If you need to learn calc, take his class.

Professor Cooper is an amazing person; he is the best Mathematics professor I ever had. His teaching is extremely clear and he always comes with some easy ways to solve problems. He is always available; he is more than willing to help students in and outside the classroom. I will take another class with him if i have to.

Professor Cooper is one of the best math professors I have had. He is very clear in all lectures. He really wants to see all of his students do well. I would take another class from him any day!

Professor Cooper makes it very easy to actually LEARN statistics in his Math 125 course. He always makes sure to answer any questions and is easily accessible via email. Although his tests are tough, he is an excellent professor. If you just study, you will have no problem in his course.

Dr. Coop is easily one of the greatest professors i've ever had, and without a doubt the best math teacher at UMass Boston. His teaching style is extremely clear, and his classroom environment encourages students to ask questions. His office hours are also an extremely valuable resource for both additional help and career advice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

There's not enough room here for all the great things to say about Professor Cooper. He truly cares about his students, their ambitions/goals, and will tirelessly work with you so you reach those goals. He makes Calculus much less intimidating through his teaching style. If you have to take Calculus at UMB, take it with Coop, he's the real deal.

Prof. Coop is amazing! He's super fun & hilarious that you will totally forget you're in a calculus class! He makes math fun with his jokes & examples. Never met a math prof like him! You have to work for it though, it's not easy it's still calculus, and he's a tough grader, but as long as you work hard you'll easily achieve a great grade with him

The text and exam is so difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!

Professor Cooper is literally the best professor I have ever had. As long as you go to class and show that you care about your grade, he will do whatever he can to help you. Always responded to emails, and goes out of his way to help his students, so take advantage of his resources. Go to class because he makes the material clearer

Professor Cooper was an amazing professor. I had him for math 125 and I felt he went above and beyond when making sure everyone in the class knew exactly what was going on. He even dumbs things down or will go over things again that he knows students are most likely struggling with. The final isn't made by him and was pretty hard but doable.

Dr. Coop is one of the best Professors at Umass Boston. His teaching style is clear and he makes the material easier to absorb by carefully explaining the new information step by step. Even if you don't have a strong math background after taking this course with Dr. Coop you will feel more confident and math will be an enjoyable subject.

The most amazing professor you could ever get in your life! He is inspiring, caring and kind. He will never leave a student behind, he gives so much advices during class and outside of class even it doesn't relate to math. Take him and you will know what a dedicated professor looks like!

This Proff is the best math professor I've ever had. He is extremely interactive in his lectures. He encourages you to participate in class ( Best way to learn) by being approachable--Going above and beyond for all his students ( one on one tutoring with much understanding when you couldn't grasp it. Did not fault you for having difficulties..

Professor Cooper is a good lecturer, funny guy. Common Joke he gave ( buying Armani suits to explain consumer surplus and producer surplus ). Students should not rely only on office hours and lectures to make them do well. Practice math in the assigned math books watch YouTube videos link on syllabus. Do all the problems alone. Be confidants

The best. He will do anything to make sure you understand the material.

Best teacher I've ever had. Dr. Coop knows how to teach properly and actually cares about the success of his students. He's down to earth, realistic, and above all gives credit to anyone he sees put in the necessary effort. I avoided math at all costs until Dr. Coop showed me I had the determination to overcome and succeed.

If you don't think you can try your hardest, maybe that's your problem. Dr Coop is a very understanding and caring professor. If you can show him you tried your best by reaching to him when you need help or show him that you understand the materials, then you will do fine on his course. Math is something you need to practice over and over again.

Prof. Coop is the best math teacher I've ever had. He makes math relatable and removes any confusion, replacing it with confidence in solving problems. He is super qualified to teach what he does and I was lucky to get such a high level of education at UMass. Go to his office hours and do all the HW and quizzes and you will be all set

Great professor. Easy to talk to and offers a lot of help. Makes expectations of you clear. Makes clear of what's going to be on the exam!

Dr. Coop is one of the best professors I've had at UMass Boston. He is such a caring and respectful dude. He is very knowledgeable and humorous. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS and GET TO KNOW HIM!! He cares so much about his students success and has the most amount of office hours I've ever seen. Amazing professor and an amazing person. TAKE HIS CLASS! :)

Prof Coop is amazing. I am horrible at math and he teaches in a way anyone can understand. You have to work for your grade but he offers so much help to the point your grade is on your effort. I love him as a teacher, he is seriously incredible. I am awful at math and calculus was my favorite course this semester. I would recommend him to anyone.

He will make you earn your grade

Professor Cooper is an outstanding guy who is really trying to help each student understand statistics as fluidly as possible. He's also really cool and has great taste in TV. 10/10 great professor!

Prof. Coop is a great teacher. He helped me get over the fear of doing Calculus. It's not easy but he challenges you to practice on your own until you are confident with your answers. His lectures and examples will help you understand the material. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to challenge themselves. You won't be disappointed.

Prof Coop was one of the best professors I have had at UMB. He really cares about the success of his students and is always available to help in any way. He has open office hours (more hours than any prof I know) where he gives feedback and individual assistance to make sure that everyone in the class has an opportunity to work one-on-one with him

Amazing teacher. He really cares about the students and wants everyone to do well. He makes really hard concepts much easier to understand and he is always available outside of class. I would highly recommending going to his office hours frequently. Know how to do the practice tests and you'll be fine for the exams.

Professor Cooper is the best professor at UMass Boston. What other professor would stay hours after class to go over material you don't understand? Should get an award every year. This is a very tough class but, put in the effort as much as Coop and you are bound for success.

Avoided Calculus until my final semester of my senior year, and I'm glad I did. Coop cares more about educating his students than any other professor at UMB. He works his examples into real life scenarios which help you remember the processes and importance of them. You get what you put in, I feel like I truly earned my grade. Thanks Coop!

I've had four math professors prior to prof. Coop, and none were nearly as thorough / well-spoken and benevolent as him. Coop is easily the #1 math lecturer at UMB and one of the best you could have. I've never felt more confident in math concepts, much less calculus, than in his course. Coop's got more heart than most any professor in the field.

Prof. Coop is one of the best math professors at this school. He is very clear and spends a lot of his time outside of class with students who need it. He is extremely fair with grading and scaling, and gives extra credit. My grade was rose from a B going into the final to an A-. The final does provide a great opportunity to increase your grade.

Dr. Coop is the kind of professor, and one of the very few, who makes studying at UMass Boston worth it! If you take a class with him, you will gain knowledge, confidence and a lot more interest in math. Not only he is an amazing professor, but most importantly he is an amazing human being, who treats every students with respect and consideration.

Hands down the best Math professor ever! If Math is not your strong subject, or even if you enjoy it. He has a brilliant system in place to support students at all levels. You will need to show effort but if you do you will not be disappointed and you actually will learn the useful parts of Calculus as well as get the grade you need.

He doesn't take attendance, but skipping class would mean you'd have to do a lot of studying to catch up with the group .

Dr. Cooper is one of the best professors I've had at UMB. He was more than just a math teacher for me; he was a great mentor. I had a rough semester and missed class for many personal reasons, and he personally worked with me to get me back up to pace, even tutoring me for a standardized test. He's a valuable person and I would highly recommend him

Prof J. Cooper is great. If you want to pass a math class, take one of his classes. I've taken other math classes and he is one professor that will take his time to break down a problem for you to understand in class. If you're still having trouble, his office hours are great. Don't skip class because the notes you take in class are very important.

The professor is awesome and he really cares about the students. His lectures go at a slower pace so that everyone is able to understand the material. I highly recommend asking any questions if you dont understand the material. There is a website for practice tests for all 3 tests and the final. 100% take the practice tests to prepare for the test

Professor Coop is the best math teacher ever. I took Math 125 with him last semester and he was a great teacher. His lectures were really easy to understand Statistics which is mostly difficult. He also helped us with homework and also give you a second chance on quizzes to take a good grade. I very recommend to take a class with him.

One of the best professors at UMB. Passion for helping students learn the concepts. Excellent lectures and fair tests; prepares you well for the department-created final.

Professor Cooper significantly influenced my view on how to learn and he was the most entertaining, and professional College Instructors I have ever had. Respects his students, and helps them with everything he can. Show up to class, participate, and you will learn, enjoy, and pass with a good grade.

Professor Cooper is awesome. He genuinely cares about the success of his students and works really hard at making sure that every person understands the concepts he talks about. I struggle with math, but Professor Cooper helped me realize that maybe I am a math person after all. Really enjoyed this course, would definitely recommend to others.

It's a challenging class, no lie. Tests cover a wide range of chapters and formulas are 2 b remembered. There's a lot of hw, but breaking it down into sections & doing small pieces each night helps a lot. Prof Coop is available @ office hrs if u need help (I couldn't make it, but asked questions in class instead). I'm a freshman, doing well.

Prof. Coop was awesome. He was very helpful and offers a ton of extra cred opportunities and hes around a ton for office hours to help you out. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well. Although theres a decent amount of homework, its really helpful and majority of the reason why i did well in the class.

Cooper is one of the best professors I've ever had. He's intelligent, and he truly cares about working with you to get you the highest grade you can. That said, you can only make Calculus only so easy. It won't be a easy A, but Cooper will try to get you as close as possible. Lectures are super important- can't miss. Long exams, monthly HW check.

By far the most underappreciated math professor on campus. His office hours are offered two days a week before class and hes always available by email. This Professor will do EVERYTHING in his power to make sure you are helped, even staying extra time after class. He will notice your effort, so try hard and don't skip. Highly recommend to all. A++

My favorite professor ever. He is such a caring guy that helps as much as possible. I feel guilty that I didnt put my half of the work in and will probably fail. I accept that responsibility and if thats the case then I look forward to taking it with him again. Wonderful guy and incredibly funny too. Make it a point to take class with him.

Professor Cooper is very good at pacing himself in order for you to have complete notes, (unusual for math professors).Stats wasnt easy, but be sure to take advantage of his office hours(he will walk you through everything).He is a fair Professor who cares, and roots for you(just work hard).As arent impossible just put in work! Great Professor!!

Coop is the Man. I got a C+ but he is literally the best Math Prof I have ever had. He knows how to really explain the most difficult problem to the anyone. Stats is very tough, HW is due only 3 times but its 10 chapters with approx 150 questions due the day of each test. He scales the grades. Deff recommend if you're willing to at-least try to wrk

Statistics with Professor Cooper means putting in a lot of effort, but getting a lot out of it. Coop structures the class well, but it ramps up rather quickly in terms of difficulty, so be prepared for a sizeable workload. Professor Cooper makes himself available for anyone in need, something most professors just simply will not do.

Professor Cooper was an amazing professor! He taught clearly and his notes during lectures were very good, giving a lot of practice problems. He does give a lot of homework, so don't wait till the last minute! Definitely go to his office hours, he does practice problems that are very helpful for acing the exams and offers extra credit! Take him!!!

By far the best Calc teacher I ever had! This man takes the time out of his own day to make sure students fully understand the material. He uses the "grandma" method to dumb down material to ensure students comprehension. Take advantage of being present in class, office hours, and participation to receive the grade you deserve!

If you're taking Stats, take this guy, I don't care if you think you suck at math, just take him. The way he teaches isn't difficult to understand, as long as you attend all his classes and apply yourself. He's great with extra help and if you can't do his office hours, I'm sure he'll make time for you that fits your schedule, definitely recommend.

Dr. Cooper is such a great teacher. Its a tricky course but he does everything he can to get you through it. He is amazing at simplifying things and explaining them well, but even more than that he will do whatever he possibly can to help you.

Life-changing. One of those classes where you will want to show up and put in the work just by the sheer encouragement and inspiration oozing from this man. He is so friendly and genuinely cares about making that student to professor connection; so accessible from outside of class too. One of my favorite classes I've taken ever.

Math is very difficult, but Professor cooper make it as easy as he can! One of best professor i ever had, he care about you so much to help you out! Strongly recommend to take his class.

Dr Coop was great for me! You have to work for your grade, but he makes it easy to do that. I got an A on my first exam and didn't do so hot on my second. I made use of his office hours and he was so helpful! He gives exactly what you need for the exams in class and at office hours. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I doubt you will pass if you skip

Professor Cooper is an expert teacher. From the very first class, he ensures students understand the level of difficulty of the course and all you have to do to succeed. He genuinely cares about the success of his students and will always endeavor to help. For statistics, definitely take him because his expertise shows through his teaching.

great

The lecture was easy but you have to pay a lot of attention on the tests because the tests are 90% of the total grade. So its hard to get an A because you cannot make sure that you do very well on all the tests. And the percent of each tests is increasing: First: 15%.Second: 20%. Third :25%. Final exam: 30%. Homework+quiz+class participation: 10%

Dr. Cooper is a great professor who hows his stuff. The course is not easy but he really cares for his students and is willing to offer help outside of the class room. You just have to be willing to put in the work and seek his help. Youll do well if you show up and pay attention in his lectures because he explains all youll need to know for test

Dr. Cooper went above and beyond to help each of his students to succeed in the course. He had office hours before and after every class. During those office hours, he was committed to answering students' questions. He inspires you to achieve your best. I would highly recommend Dr. Cooper.

If you are a visual learner like me then you will enjoy how meticulous he is when it comes to lecturing and working out the problems. He is very clear and concise about the concepts that he is teaching. Do no hesitate to ask for help outside of class as his office hours are very useful and effective. You will be lucky to have him!

Dr. Cooper is one of the amazing professor and truly care about his students. He is always there if you need him anything at all he was there. He made calculus subject more interesting by incorporating real-life experiences!! Highly recommended!

This class can be a little tough for those who've never taken stats before. Cooper makes sure the students understand the material and he teaches it EXTREMELY well. You just have to show up to every class (yes. EVERY CLASS. Because if you miss one, you'll miss IMPORTANT stuff) and take good notes. He's there for his students. Focus, and you'll pass

Best math Professor,Practice practice follow along how he does the problems and youll pass the class

Professor Cooper is one the best all around professors at UMB. He teaches in a way that helps all students understand the content, and he is very willing to put in extra time to assist students so they can be successful, all you must do is put in the work. Gives practice exams very similar to in class exams and that is extremely helpful. Take him!

survey of calc is no joke! i am not a math guy so this class was very difficult for me, and you will definitely have to put in the extra work in order to pass this course. the final was a culmination of everything we learned throughout the semester so make sure you understand all the material. and NEVER be afraid to seek his help outside of clas

He's a funny but both a strict teacher. However, he teaches clearly. Just do your homework and it should be fine, especially the practice tests

Dr. Cooper is an all around excellent professor. He is caring, inspiring, helpful, understanding, funny, and knows his stuff. What makes him a 5/5 is his motto, "you pay me to teach you". He will explain a topic in a hundred different ways if it helps you understand it. I highly recommend any course with Dr. Cooper, a wonderful man to know!

Professor Cooper is an excellent Professor. Although he can come off as a little intimidating sometimes, he's very kind and respectful. This class isn't easy though. It can be difficult to understand some material at times, but he's always ready to help. (P.S. if you take his class GO TO OFFICE HOURS). Show up, do the work, and you'll learn a lot.

Professor Cooper is the greatest

-Not an easy course, not a very hard one -3 tests: short/ to the point, only 5 questions on tests that are from resources he provides you, rewarding those who do their homework/ attend class/ complete study guides -very helpful office hours, he cares about his students success and will help them to the best of his ability -a genuinely good dude

I have never done well in a math course before and this was definitely a difficult course, but Dr, Cooper really wants his students to succeed and will provide you with extra help during office hours. If you study hard, come to every class and ask for help you'll do well!

A great teacher that will help anyone who needs it. Works with students so that everyone understands the material.

#1 professor for MATH135 by far the best of the best. his instructions are clear and to the point you shouldnt get confused at all. I would sign up for his class if you see his name. Cause slots will fill up! A very caring professor. Easy to talk to him outside of class

Dr. Cooper is a no-nonsense professor. However, he will go above and beyond to see you succeed. Definitely make use of his office hours and attend his lectures. His passion for statistics kept me engaged during the semester!

Hes the best Statistics teacher youre ever gonna get at UMB! Hes very straightforward and always want you to succeed.

Dr. Cooper is amazing! He loves his subject and truly cares for his students and wants them all to succeed. His lectures are very interactive, he makes sure that everyone in his class understands the concepts. What helped me do well in his class were: going to the lectures, attending office hours and doing homework. With Dr. Coop Math is FUN!

Teaching style was precise, comprehensive and direct. Highly professional.

definitely a test heavy class but an A is achievable! make sure to go to office hours, if you put into the effort, it makes such a difference.

Professor Cooper is such a great teacher. He genuinely cares about his students and does everything to help. Try to go to office hours as much as possible. I struggled a lot learning the material and then went to office hours and Professor Cooper really helped me to understand the material better. It is not an easy class and you have to put in time

Professor Cooper is a great professor. You have to put in effort by going to office hours and participating by either answering questions or asking them but your efforts will not go unnoticed. If you want an honors grade you have to do practice problems from the book everyday because in this class practice really does make perfect!

Professor Cooper was extremely accessible and helpful during this course. I had a very difficult time in this class because it is definitely a difficult and time consuming course. I quickly realized how important it was to do practice problems and go to office hours. Professor Cooper is extremely helpful and responsive so getting help was easy!

I'm not a math person whatsoever but he made every topic so easy to understand. He truly cares about his students and their success. He always held office hours and encouraged students to go and even met with you outside office hours. If you're not the best at math pls take this professor he is the best and you will def pass and actually learn.

Cares for his students and genuinely wants everyone to learn. His lectures are great and easy to follow. He is never condescending when you ask somewhat of a silly question and always thoroughly explains it to you.

Dr. Cooper is the best. He genuinely cares about the progress of each of his students and encourages you to ask questions and come to his office hours. If you do go to his office hours, the course content becomes a lot easier to understand. He promotes a positive and welcoming atmosphere and his knowledge and passion for Statistics is exceptional.

Dr. Cooper is the best at UMB when it comes to math. I took him twice, and I didn't regret it. Dr. Cooper cares about his students and he is willing to do whatever he can to make you understand the class materials. He doesn't mind spending 3 hours in his office hours sessions to give every student a chance to ask questions. I highly recommend Dr. C

He is really good teacher and nice , help any student when student have question , and l will take this class again ��

A very good professor if you listen to the lecture you will learn. He also extends his hands asking if any student needs help asking each student if they understand the lecture. He also has sessions for students who don't understand the problems. Goes out of his way to help

I highly recommend Dr. Cooper, he was probably the best professor I have had so far at UMB. He cares so much about his students and offers a lot of support in office hours. His explanations are really clear and he goes to great lengths to make sure every student understands. Definitely recommend!

For me it took some time to adjust to Professor Cooper's class. Math is not my strong suit but overtime I started to understand the material better by preparing the right way. He also started to adjust his grading too and I really appreciate that. If you utilize the recourses available to you the right way, you'll get the grade you deserve.

Dr. Cooper gave one of the best class experiences I've had in my college career. His lectures are accessible and effective, and he always makes sure no one is falling behind in understanding the material. He gave great advice for increasing your chances of success in the class, like doings lots of problems in your weak areas. An excellent teacher.

His class was among one of the most accommodating I've had in a while. He put a great emphasis on asking questions, since he was aware of the course material's difficulty. When requested, he went over problems at great length and depth, even if it took up the rest of the class that day. Readings, homework, and tutoring definitely helped as well.

Loved the class. If you want to take a Stats class or have to take one, TAKE HIM. He will make you work for it, but will help you as much as he can. If you are in trouble talk to him. One main tip that he keeps mentioning is that DO THE HOMEWORK!

Calculus is not easy but Professor Cooper tries to articulate it in ways that are easier to understand. Definitely go to every class as each class goes through a lot of material. Tests were a lot more difficult than concepts taught during class, but not impossible. Put in the work if math isnt your strong suit bc its definitely not a crash course

As a Psych major, I knew Calc would be my toughest journey. I hoped for an understanding and helpful Professor, and Dr.Cooper was all that and more. He always explained the problems to me over and over, no matter how much I needed it and gave me encouragement that doing my best will pay off. I highly recommend Dr.Cooper, he is an awesome Professor!

Dr. Coop was a great professor, he definitely made me hate math a little less with his teaching. He always took the time during class to fully explain answers to questions anyone had, even if they were small asks. Super nice and caring, I'm so glad I got to take math with him instead of someone else.

He is a great professor! Good lectures. Simple thinking. A sports nerd which makes it 10x better. Office hours are easily accessible. 10/10

Very considerate professor, the best I've had this semester. Very helpful and stays beyond his posted office hours to make sure all of his students are keeping up with his lectures.

If I had to pick my favorite professor I have ever had it would definitely be professor cooper! There were times I struggled in this course but cooper never gave up on me and always encouraged me to keep going! If you take this course I recommend attending his office hours outside of class they help so much! I'm going to miss this professor!

A wonderful and warm mentor, knowing well what to ask, without overwhelming the load of life.

As a person, Dr. Cooper is great. When it comes to his class, it's hard if you don't go to his out-of-class hours. He does not give back your tests in class so if you want to see the questions you got wrong, you need to take the time to go after class. Your whole grade is also based on 4 tests with the option to drop one of them.

I highly recommend enrolling in his courses. Dr. Cooper is the best professor I have had here! He will go above and beyond to work with students who seek it and is a wonderful mentor. I am very grateful to have had him as a Survey of Calculus professor.

Cooper is fantastic. Quite a lot of the material is counterintuitive so if you want to do well, then be prepared to invest your time in attending office hours regularly, he is quite patient! Do this early on and not later into the semester. Only things is that I wish he made marks on tests for students to actually see what they did wrong.

He is a caring man, who loves to teach and who mastered to explain everything easily so everyone understands it at first. I loved him, he is very helpful, and would 100 percent take his class again.

He is caring, he explains the material as many times he has to make sure everyone understands it. He is accessible outside of class. He is the best professor at Umass.

From day one he was cracking jokes and incorporated them into his lectures. I hate math and can never focus but he broke the content down and explained it in very simple terms and created an environment you would want to attend. If you struggle with boring math classes and have trouble understanding I would highly suggest this class to help you.

My experience in statistics was a turning point in my academic career and I will forever be grateful. The care with which Dr. Coop teaches and the amount of time he invest outside of lecture for us to be successful was rare during my time on campus. ATTEND OFFICE HOURS

Professor Cooper is incredibly supportive and genuinely passionate about his job, which enhances the learning experience! Out of all the math classes I've taken, I can confidently say that I retained the most from this class, thanks to his effective teaching methods. Also, he provided a ton of practice material that will help you along the way.

A great professor overall, goes out of his way to help students in and out of class so long as you are willing to put in the work. his honesty can come of a little blunt but on the same coin he'll congratulate you on a job well done. Put in the work and he's one of the best math teacher out there.

Joseph cooper is an amazing professor. He is the best math professor, I have had at UMB. Professor Cooper breaks down all the material and explains everything in detail. He is available outside of class which makes it easier to get help, if needed.

He seems to be an excellent professor I was able to understand the material for my test in such little time, he breaks down the problems and makes sure you understand the why in the math problems, He breaks down all the small details and gave good feedback especially on the bad habit I have of not labeling things I wish I had him as my professor

He is very caring professor helping me with almost all my homework, quiz and exam. I am able to get a B+ on my precalculus thanks to him.

He is super easy to understand! Lectures with him pass by very fast and I actually learn the material. I would 100% recommend taking a math course with him.

Professor Cooper is such an amazing professor. He is a very outgoing individual, makes lecture fun, and breaks down the material for you in a way that anyone would be able to understand it. I highly recommend going to office hours, as he will even further explain the material. Definitely practice the problems, and you will pass.

Although the content can get difficult, the professor does a very good job in trying to make the lectures more easier to understand. Things that seemed extremely confusing he explains in a very comprehensive way. I highly recommend going to office hours if you have any questions or difficulties. Homeworks are due on the day of each test.

His teaching style is amazing for all students. I needed help reviewing a topic and he went out of his way to explain it in a way I understood and made sure I got it helping me through examples. He was very kind and easy to talk to.

The professor is great and very resourceful! He truly wants everyone to do well in his math courses. He closes the door 15 minutes after class starts in order to avoid class disruption and to enhance the learning experience.

Great professor. I wish his lectures were longer. My only criticism is he goes way too fast.

Overall stats is challenging and fast-paced, While attendance isn't mandatory, missing sessions can lead to falling behind. He is very accessible outside of class with generous office hours. He genuinely cares for his students and is committed to their success. I would HIGHLY recommend Professor Coopers stats class.

You can't succeed in his class without putting in thorough effort. Sometimes lectures are rushed, Prof. Cooper encourages questions by granting extra points. I attended most office hours and loved the challenge of this class, but it's heavy on the final (40%) with no midterm and 3 regular exams (15% each). Take this if you want to actually learn!

Prof. Cooper truly cares about his students, he even says it himself: he wants people to pass as much as they can. He might be the most accessible professor you might meet because he always has office hours! The course is a little bit challenging at times, relying a lot on 3 tests and a final so put in a lot of effort if you want to do well.

If you need to take a requirement involving Math 135, TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He is absolutely awesome, supports any and all questions, and teaches very thoroughly. He says time and time again how important asking questions is, and never talks down to anyone confused. He makes sure students leave his class knowing everything they need to know.

Professor Cooper was one of the kindest professors I have ever had. I visited his office hours almost every week which was got me through this class. I barely passed any high school math classes but with his help and encouragement I was able to pass stats. This class requires a lot of hard work, and studying but is doable.

Dr. Cooper is amazing. He truly cares about his student's success. Generous office hours - morning and afternoon. Gives clear feedback. He gives personal attention according to student's needs and their interests. Highly recommend!

So helpful- was doing work for another class and he came up to me and asked if he could help. Sat with me for 15 minutes so that I could understand the material I was working on even though he's not my professor. Lots of my friends have or had him and all say he's good and very helpful. Always see him around campus helping students!

Very humorous and wise professor, material was not difficult to grasp, and the knowledge stuck with me long after I took the course with Dr. Cooper. I recommend him as a professor to anyone taking Survey of Calculus or Statistics.

Dr. Cooper is one of the most dedicated and supportive instructors I have had. He truly cares about his students, takes time to ensure we understand the material, and offers extra help during office hours, especially before exams. He gives great feedback and even offers extra credit for attending office hours. I highly recommend Dr. Cooper.

Dr. Cooper is the BEST!! He has flexible office hours which is vital because if you are lost in lecture, go to his office hours, he will work with you one-one until you feel confident in doing the problems by yourself. Not lot of professors do that here. Math is hard, but having him gives you boost of confidence because he is so encouraging.

Professor is so helpful, helped me prepare for my exam even though he isn't my professor. I learned some key topics for my exam and understood them really well!!

You have to work to succeed. He can go fast in class, but it's just so we get through everything on time. Textbook is helpful and OFFICE HOURS are extremely helpful. He connects personally with students and makes you feel like an individual. An extremely kind and caring man + prof. Cooper's class challenged me and taught me well. He is outstanding

Math is not my strong suit, but Dr. Coopers teaching style and accessibility outside of class really helped in the long run. Sure the course itself can be tough-but just like every other class you need to put in the effort to do good. Seems like some of the poor reviews from Math125 are from freshmen who haven't been exposed to college classes yet.

The best professor at Umass Boston. He really cares for student. my grade is because I hate math.

Great professor really wants you to do well. Although attendance is not mandatory I STRONGLY advise going to all his lectures or you will miss out on important material. Exams are multiple choice and 10 questions each.

Even though the class is not mandatory, you should attend because his explanations make the material much easier to understand. He frequently checks in during lectures and explains concepts very simply, then immediately solves problems. Office hours are also very helpful, if you miss class, he gives you the review.

The best math professor at umass. I never thought id get an A in any math course, let alone calculus. His class lectures are really straight forward, promotes slowing down on difficult topics, and makes sure the class isn't left behind. Offers an optional test at the end of the semester, replacing your lowest exam score. He's got a sense of humor.
