Great teacher. Very hands on and always tries to make lectures and lessons exciting. Highly recommend her.

She's a really nice professor: she gives a lot of homework(like a project once a week) but it helps you for the midterm and final. She always tries to make class interesting and really helpful. If you really want to learn about Operations Management!

very nice teacher, her class is very interesting

One of the nicest and most helpful teachers at depaul. there are a lotta projects and sometmes they're just too long. the exam problems mite be treaky, so watch out for that!

She is so darn nice, but her class is boring. Its so hard to follow what she is talking about sometimes. The exams are not hard because she is AN EASY GRADER! She gives hmwk every week that you will probably dislike becuase they take so long to complete.

One of the best professors I have ever had! She always supports concepts through group activities and while there is alot of homework it really does prepare you for the exams, which most people do really well on. Take her if you can.

If you do bad in this class, it's your fault. She is the best mgt teacher I ever had! If you do HW (even though they are long), you will get an A in this class. Her tests are a replica of the HW. She explains everything and makes class fun and interesting

One of the best professors yet! She explains concepts very well and keeps class interesting. There is quite a bit of homework, but it helps- if you know the homework you know the exams (she also gives an excellent review)Take her if you can!

She explains things pretty well and tries to make class fun with pleanty of activities. You'll never get out of class early, but you'll learn alot. just listen and take notes and do the hw and you'll do fine. you don't need to read the book if you come

nice teacher

the activities that you'll do in class are fun and are very relevant to the material. the homework takes some time, but cook makes learning the material as enjoyable as it can possibly be.

Im so sick of her long assignments every week. Her midterm and final arent too bad but can be hard. She demands so much compared to some other MGT teachers. watch out and be prepared to work hard. shes not leniant with anything.

She is a great teacher- I truly learned in here class, and she is very helpful. Just go up to her in the office hours and show her your assignment- she will tell you what you did wrong! Our group got 500/500 on all the assignments!

Great professor, my only regret for taking this class is that I bought the book when you really don't need to, if you go to class and pay attention you'll be fine, her exams are identical to her assignments, if you know how to do the assignments you'll be fine on the exams

I highly recommend her. You will actually learn a lot! She keeps classes interesting with a lot of hands on, fun, in-class exercises. There are 7 group assignments. Only 2 of them were pretty lengthy. Otherwise, they were fine. Know the assigments and the exams will be fine. She offers lots of extra credit towards homework. Great professor!!!

Awesome...Awesome...Awesome...she will help you understand material and master technical skills that you need in real life. You work AND enjoy the fruits of your labor. Very fair and gives partial credit. RECOMMENDED!!

I cannot say enough nice things about Professor Cook. This woman is not only a phenomenal teacher, but she keeps the class interesting (even in the summer) and she will do everything in her power to help you as long as you'll help yourself. Exams are a little bit tough, but if you listen in class, you should be fine.

You have to take Cook for this class. She is the sweetest professor at Depaul. She loves her students all of them. Class was easy as hell, its all excel! Take her:)

great teacher, great classes. She is very nice, and class was very pleasant.

Easy Class, just a so borring. Too much emphasis on Baldrige Award. Didn't teach you much more than what was taught in MGT502.

The professor is knowledgeable in the subject but assigns TOO much group work and picks favorites. I understand teachers doing that in H.S. but this is college........

Take this professor. She breaks everything down into simple terms. I thought I would hate this class but she made it interesting. Her tests are lengthy but if you listen in class and do the homework, you'll be fine. She is an awesome professor and she will help you in whatever way she can. She cares about her students.

She was a great teacher. I learned a lot. There is a lot of work, but working in groups helps. Plus she makes class fun. Midterm and Final are long but be in class and do the assignments and youre golden.

Too much work. There are six group assignments/projects which take roughly 5 hrs for each one. She is very nice and helpful but be prepared to work your butt off. Not recommeneded, other professors for this class have so much less work and i ended up with the same grade as my friends and yet i worked to much.

no no no, way too much work. 6 group assignments that take at least 5 hrs each. hard midterm and final

Too much work if you have other classes and work at the same time.

Dr. Cook is a great professor! Had the class on Saturdays. She makes the class alot of fun and interesting. There is alot of work but then again graduate school is more demanding. Read the lecture notes and you should be ok with the exams and homework

Prof Cook is extreamly nice but her exams are assignments are very hard. Not an easy class.

Prof Cook is an excellent professor who runs a very professional and respectful class. The tests and homework were not easy, but it's doable. She's also a very fair grader. And she provided snacks for every class.

Prof. Cook is awesome! I really enjoy her class! She makes it interesting and fun, and she has changed the course so there isn't as much group work! I like this class much more than MGT300. Take her if you can! She's great! :)

Good prof for MGT502, and I hear there are a lot of bad ones for this. Her classes are well-structured, and work load is reasonable. I learned a lot from her class. Highly recommended.

Not a hard class. The online exercises prepare you for a lot of the exam and you have unlimited tries on them, and the study guides will help you with the rest. Class was sometimes boring, but she tries to use the iClicker and activities to keep you interested

She's a great professor and the class itself is pretty easy. 2 exams (very fair, focus on lecture) and online reworkable exercises. She's always willing to help students, and no group work! Definately recommended.

The final was crazy hard. Even though she gave us a study guide, most of the problems on the final were not even close. Theres no HW, and all she does is read from the slides, so you have no idea what is really important and what is bs. She has good communication skills but is a bad teacher. Try someone else if you can...

Very good professor, highly recommended. We fell behind & missed a few chapters at the end but learned a lot from what we covered. In-class activities are great to learn from; iclickers made it easy to participate; only used textbook for hw; lots of groupwork - be prepared. Only minus was the length of time it took to receive grades on assignments.

Classroom is not required, but recommended. Not alot of work required just make sure you can work with your group since most of homework is group work. Paper is time consuming, but you can atleast apply it to your company which makes it interesting.

SHE IS A VERY NICE AND CALM TEACHER. IF YOUR WILLING TO LEARN YOU WILL ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS. READILY AVAILABLE ONLINE AND DURING OFFICE HRS. ATTEMPT HWK PROBS EVEN IF U DONT UNDERSTAND SHE LIKES TO C THE EFFORT. MUST DO HWK AND U WILL GET AN A ON THE TEST.. GUARANTEED. DOES NOT TOLERATE CHEATERS. LOOK INTERESTED IN CLASS U WILL ACHIEVE GREATLY

I never bought the book and managed to not only learn a ton from her, but also earn an A in the class. If you put effort there, you will get a B....if you actually try you will get an A without the book. She gives you powerpoints for every chapter. Tough but great teacher! If you are willing to do the work she will teach you!

Great class, online work. But easy as long as you keep up with the class and work.

She is such a wonderful professor. She reminds me of Helen Hunt when she talks. Very helpful and very responsive to questions. She made us grad students teach a part of the class through real world experience. I highly recommend

Hands down the best available. Excellent use of MyOmLab, and very responsive and clear. If you can get into her class (which fills up the first day) she is worth taking without doubt.

Professor Cook genuinely wants every student to pass. She explains the subject clearly and gives plenty of in-class examples. Her "exams" (which is the midterm and final) are not hard - as long as you do the assignments and study. If you want to learn something, then this is the class. It's an easy A if you keep you with the work and attend class.

Professor Cook was one of the best professors I had at DePaul. Her lectures at times were boring and hard to follow but everything she taught could be applied to the real world. Homework is easy points so DO it. Midterm and Final are easy if you study. There's no surprises just go over your notes. You don't really need the book.

She is amazing. I leaned very useful management skills with her. I learned more business stats with her than in the business stats class! The online hw really helps! totally recommend her! Plus she is super nice!

Overall, Professor Cook was one of the best professors that I have had at DePaul. She was always clear and concise and made sure that we knew what was going to be on the midterm and final. She has engaging in class activities but heavily relies on power points. She is a fan of the iClicker and takes attendance. Don't buy the book; it's not needed.

Her midterm is too long for the time she allows and she knows it, yet she won't change it. Book is not necessary to get an A but you need the online code, which is almost as expensive. Sometimes she wastes time on useless activities of guessing numbers and telling us the point 3 days later. Overall it wasn't a bad class- requirement outta way.

Professor Cook has been one of the best professors I have had at DePaul. I had her for MGT 301 and ICS 395. She is very clear when explaining the material in class and gives you powerpoints, she is a fair grader, and a fun teacher. Lectures are sometimes long but when there is an activity or competition involved you love it.

I took it for summer school. The professor is very nice. There were online homework, midterm, and a final. The homework was confusing and complicated, it makes you work on it. The midterm was okay if you study for the homework. However, the final is way harder than you think. Some of the question is confusing with the wording and it is very hard.

Professor Cook was amazing. She's really there for you and makes the material easy to understand. Gives you the exact things you need to study for the midterm, final, and online homework. Class is mandatory for your participation. Classes were fun and interesting. Some group in-class activities. Provided extra credit. Would definitely take again.

This capstone class was the business simulation. You work in teams competing against the other teams in the class simulating a real business. Professor Cook made it fun by encouraging the competition, calling out successes and mistakes by the teams, and giving advice as an outside "consultant". She really made the simulation fun.

The BEST online professor I have ever had! Due dates, assignments, and requirements stated very clearly. Provided a calendar of the whole course so you could plan ahead. Sent emails reminding about the due dates for each upcoming week. Material was explained very well, and she offered a lot of help on the harder topics. Replied to emails quickly.

She is very communicative of what to expect, sending email updates and putting it on at the beginning of class. She tried her best to make her classes interactive and fun. Of all the professors in our MBA program, she cared the most for us, our journey, and how the program would be beneficial in our professional lives. Analytical yet kind.

She was funny, interactive and quite clear on what you would need in order to do well in your Capstone. She speaks through a lot of the classes, but if you actually listen to her in this class, you will have the hints you need to do well in the actual Capstone module. She passes out treats and pokes fun at your cohorts- but she is laughing with us

Professor Cook is one of the best professors I have had at DePaul. She makes the due dates very clear and is very helpful if you ever get confused. She is very understanding and responds back to emails quickly. I would 100% recommend taking her class.

She's a great professor that makes content understandable. The math is easy but the conceptual stuff can get hard so study her powerpoints. She is really helpful and offers extra credit. Don't buy the book because her powerpoints and lectures cover everything.

She's a really great professor and wants you to succeed. She posts all her lectures online which are very helpful if you don't understand a concept. Don't buy the package with the online textbook because she gives you everything you need to study for the test. Also gives helpful study guides for the exams and EC throughout the course.

The master herself! A lot of lectures, very engaging, and mylabs hw. The exams are hard, but she goes through practice questions before the exam (pay attention to those)

Lori was awesome! The class is more equation based which was totally unexpected, but it wasn't too bad. There are 2 exams, participation, hw/simulations due every week, and she offered several extra credit opportunities. You definitely don't want to miss class because the material is difficult to teach yourself. Fun in class activities as well

Top notch. Dr. Cook is fantastic person and educator. She expresses enormous passion for teaching and for the subject matter presented. Her positive attitude and energy help keep part-time night school students engaged after a long day, which can be challenging. Equally important, Dr. Cook knows her stuff. You'll learn a lot interacting with her.

A real gem. She gives real-life examples so material is easy to understand. Weekly chapter quizzes, a few simulations, a few discussion boards, one interview project. Do the work, it's an easy A.

Professor Cook is the best! She is really organized and send reminders every week about whats due or overdue. If you get behind its on you! Because she cares about her students a lot and is willing to work with you through the class. The class is not hard, theres just a lot easy calculations and she gives you plenty of time on quizzes.

Professor Cook is wonderful! Her grading criteria is straight forward. DO the work and you will succeed. She wants you to do well in her class so if you have any questions or concerns, just email her and she will respond within 24 hours (or even less)! Communication is key. And yes, you have to purchase the book to do the labs, quiz & simulations.

This class is much more time consuming than I expected going in. Certain MyLabsPlus assignments had so many parts and took so unbelievably long that it was very frustrating. Overall, the class isnt too hard, but make sure you set aside time to do the HW/Quizzes. Shes really easy to reach over email and gives timely responses.

She is one of the best professors I had. She is understanding, is very knowledgeable, and knows how to explain difficult things and make them easy. In addition, she is hilarious and kept my 7-hour class entertained the whole time. She mixes games with real-life examples. I would take her again and again for every class.

Professor Cook prioritized only essential parts from the readings/chapters so we could get the most out of the course. The assignments, quizzes and simulations were of mixed difficulty, which made the course feel like a quality course which was surprising given everything is online. The final interview project is straightforward and interesting.

Everything you want in a professor. Take her with no doubt.

There's lots of homework in MyOMLab, but it's not too bad. The lectures are straightforward. Assignments and simulations have unlimited attempts. There's some extra credit too. Also, there are a couple of things due each week (usually an assignment, a quiz and a simulation) making it easier to get a good grade in the end.

Professor Cook is detailed and breaks down all the info you need to keep up with the class. She is easy to communicate. She is very responsive to emails. She is very helpful when running into challenges with the coursework. The coursework is a bit heavy, but it's expected from mgt 301. She keeps you updated on your grade thru the quarter.

Heavy coursework but Professor is easy to communicate with. She is helpful in keeping you updated on your grade. If you need help, she will help you. There is a lot of coursework to keep up with but the professor will help you stay on track.

Super accommodating and understanding. I took this class as a three week intermission course. Overwhelming amounts of work in that time(as to be expected) but she makes the effort to extend due dates and be flexible. I would take her again in-person.

She is a great professor. The class has assignments, quizzes, and simulations online. Just pay attention and you will clear all of them with 100 points. No midterm or final. Pretty chill class, attendance is a must as it carries 90 points.

Her lectures are long but she does a really good job of making the calculations very simple to understand. There is a lot of work (maybe 6-7 hours per week) but it is easy if you watched the lectures, and having some stats and Excel knowledge is a plus. Due dates and grading criteria are abundantly clear.

Honestly, she is one of the best professors I have taken. Her lectures are very easy to understand and she makes every lecture every fun with games that make the class soooo easy to understand. I recommend her 100%.

I took this course async. The Pearson mylab is easy to use and you get unlimited attempts on homework and simulations with access to a video lesson or written explanations. Prof does a great job of sending out due date reminders and even made a final grade calculator spreadsheet so you always know what your grade is. I definitely recommend!

She is really kind and understanding. However, as an asynchronous class, it was very strange that we had to work in groups and create fundraisers/service projects. It was a bit of an inconvenience considering I chose async for the purpose of my busy schedule. But the work was easy and straightforward, and no exams!

Professor Cook is amazing and I learned so much in this class. The whole class is essentially working with a team and working on a project where you raise awareness or money for a non-profit of your choice. As long as you find a good and dedicated team you will be fine. No midterm or final, mainly graded on project deliverables and weekly quiz.

Professor Cook deftly lectures (teaches) complex and important financial concepts. Professor Cook's syllabus is comprehensive, precisely detailing what's necessary to grasp the information and reach an ideal grade outcome. The information is not simple; fortunately, she is an able guide through the challenge. The ideal Masters program professor.

Prof Cook is one of the best MGT professors at DePaul. She was so understanding and always willing to help when you needed it. She did a bunch of in-class activities that made class engaging and actually enjoyable. Workload was light. TAKE HER CLASS!!!

Dr. Lori Cook is an amazing professor, She's. caring and fair, Her lectures are easy to follow and she gives a lot of class activities that help you to understand all the concepts and practice. Take her class!!

This is definitely one of the best classes I've taken in person at DePaul. It was genuinely interesting and the professor explains things really good!

This class was a great, hands-on way to explore leadership. The charity project was fun, helpful for my resume, and gave me clarity on my career goals. The teacher's genuine desire for us to understand made the class what it was. She is incredibly supportive of anyone who puts in effort, asks questions, and cares about anything. Don't be a zombie
