Read the book and review all the notes you take. Go to class everyday because extra credit is offered every now and then.

Wonderful teacher, expects students to act like adults. Answers your cell phone in class, so turn them off. Best off if you can get in a small class.

She is a different person to say the least. If you stay on her good side you will have not problems in her class. It is easy to get an A in her classes as long as you go to class. She can be rather strange though. You need to be patient.

her tests are difficult but she will make time in her schedule to help you with any problems you are having in the class. i actually ended up liking her.

First of all, I am really suprised that people think Dr. Cook's class is hard. Its definately not a no brainer class. However, if you read the chapters and study the notes you should make A's and B's. I think she is a good teacher.

She covers lots of material but she is always willing to help and explain. Wants students to take things seriously and to learn and work hard. If you go to class and study you will be fine. Don't be afraid of her she is nice and very helpful.

Be prepared to read, read and read. She's hard but if you read you will be her favorite and therefore get a "B". No A's in this class my friends.

Dr. Cook is one of the only legal studies teachers that actually makes you learn the law. She's not easy but you will walk away feeling like you actually accomplishmed something

If you take notes, study them, you can easily earn an A in her classes. Introduce yourself and get to know her, don't pay attention to the bad ratings, she's a fun professor. One of the best at UCF. You will learn.

She is a wonderful teacher. Very interesting and makes you want to learn. Although the class can be a challange she will encourage you to do your best in every aspect. Be prepared to read and take notes and you will leave satisfied.

She is rather simple. She does require you attend class. Opened minded when it comes to exams. If her co workers are having test she will postpone her own. She curves in the end so you do even better then you think.

Good teacher,but her material is hard as hell. Be social and talk to her but realize she's a real estate nazi-everything she says about real estate is true, agree with her and you'll be fine. Don't goto her for advising, research on your own and make your own plan, cause she'll keep u at UCF forever

Surprised by all the bad ratings...The material is diffucult, but that's not her fault. She makes it as interesting and easy as she can. She curves tests and postpones them if another professor is giving one; Will learn a lot in this class

Ok,so she's always right, get over it and suck up, its worth it. Go to her office hours or stay after class so she know's your face. I had her for Property,Torts,and Im in Capstone now. I got a B in Torts only because I didnt do the extra credit and I got an A in Property. It's not that bad,if you take good notes you dont even have to read the book

Prof. Cook will only expect the best out of students. The reason she might seem hard is because she expects the most out of you, she does her best to relate the material in class to real life situations. She is not easy but she will be willing to work with those students who need help in class.

Dr. Cook is great! If you go to class,and read you will do fine. Her tests are not easy, that's the way college is supposed to be, if it was easy everyone would do it! You will learn a lot in any class you take with her. Also, she is a very caring advisor!

Dr. Cook is a great professor, her tests are hard but you will do fine if you go to her classes and do the end of chapter reviews and learn her vocab make sure you memorize her in class notes!! The best part is she curves her tests.

The tests are hard but if you go to class, read, and take notes you'll do. Everyone that ****es and complains are those who don't do anything and expect an easy A. She's great in-class and makes the material engaging. Also an excellent advisor

She's a fair teacher. Basically read the book and the notes and you'll do fine on her tests. She goes over notes pretty quickly but they are a lot easier to understand than the book. She gives a little curve that really helps in the end.

Best teacher ever!! Totally recommend her!!!

If you fail this class you're an idiot. Her tests are hard but she teaches very well. If you just go to class you will pass her tests with an A or B.

Honestly guys, she is one of the best professors in our department! She teaches very well, its not her fault that you do not memorize her notes and read the book! Make sure you go to every class i do not recommend to even miss one because you miss out on a lot! Pay attention to when she emphasizes on a certain topic. I'll definetly recommend her fo

Dr. Cook is a very good prof., a little unorganized at times but you will def. learn alot from her. Her tests are not easy but its not bc she makes it difficult its bc Torts is not easy. Go 2 every class listen to what she says, take good notes + study the book and you will do good in this class. She curves tests alittle. I got an A, so can you.

I've had Dr. Cook for four classes and have gotten A's easily in all of them. The people who say you are going to fail are looking to do no work and get an A. Honestly, she is very organized, is extremly intelligent and helpful, and gives plenty of notice on assingments and tests. She'll review tests before they happen too and tell you everything.

She is hard but a good professor, think about it you are in college now! A little crazy at times but it helps you understand!!!

She's an amazing teacher, but requires your full attention. I've learned more from her class than anyother. If you go to class Copy down every word she REPEATS, and make flashcards you will pass. If you have low dedication... i reccommend taking another teacher.

Although I got a C in her class, I deserved it. I didn't work or study as hard as i shoudl have. She will stay after class to help answer your questions and while its silly she relates funny stories to the material to make it easier to remember. Be prepared, this is not a class you just sit there and get an A.

she's a really good teacher, but you must attend class, review before class and write down everything she says twice and you'll get an A

Great teacher, those who said she is hard is just lazy. I took her for Capstone and she is really helpful in and out of class. She really does want to help you, just a tough teacher at times. I'd really recommend her, she's tough because she wants to get the most out of you.

Going to class and taking notes will help a lot, but in my case, I understood the material better by reading on my own. Overall a good teacher who remains available to her students and care about their success.

Dr. Cook is very helpful but you MUST go to class and not goof off. Write down everything she says and Study or you'll be lost. Its best to get into a study group before exams. She gives some extra credit and curves almost every exam. Not a class for slackers.. if you want to do well, you will.

Had her for property and she wasn't as bad as everyone says. She repeats the things that appear on the test most of the time. Have to go to class, for random quizzes which i think are just for attendance. You dont always have to read the book, but it helps. Take good notes and you probably dont have to read the book. Taking her for torts now.

Really wasn't all that bad of a class, you do have to read though or you will not get an A...I haven't tried in the class really at all and I will prolly get a B

The class was easy, you do keep busy though. She is a very nice lady. The only thing I didn't like about the class was the big-government/communist ideals being pushed down our throats. If your a liberal or a big government person you will love this class. Me, personally I believe in following the U.S. Constitution, not the U.N.

I really didn't like this class. I feel I learned quite a bit though. I got a B and I did not try that hard. I never read when you should. I also missed nearly every pop-quiz and failed the one or two I did take that are at the start of class in the morning. Tests are kinda hard but you can cram and she does curve a lil.Take her only if you must.

If you plan on continuing your legal education, take her. She's not only my professor for Torts, but I'm taking her for Property as well, and she's my advisor. I listen to what she says, read what she says to read, and take what she says to take? Why? 1)She practiced law2)She knows her stuff 3) She tests you on what she wants you to know. Go figure

great educator/ advisor

She is a decent professor. Test only cover 2 chapters at time, there are 6. She gives extra credit, curves the test grades, and repeats important concepts about 3 times. There's not much more you can ask for. Reading the book helps but you can pass without it.

I took her for property and got a B. if you're going to law school you absolutely have to take her. one piece of advise, do not under any circumstances get on her bad side. she holds a grudge and she will make your life very difficult if you piss her off

I took Dr. Cook's property class in summer and it was a DRAG but she is really funny! I took her again the following fall for torts and it was a bit more tolerable. She has a good personality and is really helpful. Take her if you're good at starting off on your own and can tune out boring lectures but still learn from the book.

I took Dr. Cook for both Torts and Property at the same time. The material can be difficult at times so it is VERY important to go to class. I enjoyed both of her classes and received A's in both. You HAVE to read the book and notes to understand the material. Contrary to belief, you can get A's in her class if you work hard for them like I did.

I took Dr Cook for property and got a B Never have I worked harder for a B in my life She is a great teacher If you miss class find the notes asap there are a lot of them and if you fall behind you are in big trouble DON'T get on her bad side because she will make an example out of you her tests are not hard but she will not listen to corrections

I took Dr. Cook 3 years ago for Torts and Property. I can honestly say that no other teacher prepared me for law school more than Dr. Cook.

Dr. Cook is great. Yes her classes are tough, but you come out learning a lot, and she is always able to answer any questions. If you get anything lower than a B, then you are doing something wrong. Go to Dr. Cook, and she will help you with anything you need. Make sure you read the chapters. You cannot get by without reading!

This class is NOT as hard as i heard it was going to be. Just simply go to class and take good notes and study. The tests are straightforward and there are opportunities for extra credit. If i could get an A, anyone can.

Kathy Cook is very textbook and prepares you for her property law exams by way of NOTES, notes and more, NOTES! Don't buy the book, just read florida RE law statutes and then her notes. She didnt like me on a personal level bc I didnt goto class much but..Still got an A, & understood everything easily. You can easily pass the florida agent exam NP

Dr. Cook is "talked" about as being a hard teacher but she's really not. Attend class, pay attention and you will do fine! She wants students who care and if you dont' then neither will she. She's awesome for capstone. Its been really interesting. You have assignments but she gives you ample time to do them. Pretty easy!

DON'T MISS CLASS. she will not send out notes. There is a lot of textbook to notes combination. She will tell you whats on the test REALLY QUICKLY, the class before the test at the very end. So you NEED to be in class day before test. Plus you need to buy an app for $40 membership because she has quizzes and takes attendance every class.

Straight forward and nice lady. Goes over tons of material so take very good notes and study a little each day. It's a tough subject but she tries to make it easy. Not an easy A but doable with a lot of studying. This subject would be hard with anyone. She is a great professor. I am taking two more classes with her.

This is my second class with Dr. Cook and I do not regret it. I learned a lot in Capstone and she gives great feedback with an opportunity to correct you work. There is a midterm and final (which are both take home) and a simple research project and presentation. If you go to class and do the work, you are guaranteed an A.

Have questions? ALWAYS ASK!!!! Professor Cook does not have a problem answering questions! I loved taking her for property (not like I had a choice), but I enjoyed the class. Notes from the powerpoint and the book will be your guiding light! you can also visit her during office hours to clear up any confusion. BE ON TIME TO CLASS!!!

Professor Cook is an awesome lecturer, knows her stuff very well and is interesting. Tests are based on her lectures in class, top hat, and the book, and are usually 40-50 questions. You have to study, this isn't an easy A. She really loves hard working students, she definitely lets you know. Taking again for Property.

I LOVE her! Her classes aren't easy but we're here to learn and you'll learn more than most classes you've ever taken. If you put in the work you will get an A no doubt. Just read the book, go to class, and take good notes. She is EXTREMELY helpful when applying to law school and with internships so get on her good side! Taking her for the 3rd time

I love Dr. Cook! Be prepared for a challenge but absolutely worth it! She provides extra credit and is always available to speak with. She genuinely cares about all of her student!
