He is sort of funny and his class is really easy. He puts all the notes on Hawknet and reviews before the tests. The only bad thing is he only has a midterm and a Final so if you screw up your done. But there is also a paper (1500 words) that is a Gordon Rule requirement. But other than that the class is really easy and fun cuz he teaches it well.
He's really laid back when it comes to his teaching. He's up to date with the times and doesn't read right out of the textbook. He does everything by powerpoint and posts the slides on hawknet. His lectures are very helpful when it comes to his midterm and final. He reviews before the tests as well and basically tells you what is on the test.
Really Down to earth. Very imformative. Explains everything in great detail. Textbook is not required. Can get a little bit off topic but it does have to do with the lectures. You can follow with the powerpoint print outs. Tests actually make sense! I loved this class!!!
Good professor; speaks well; interesting lectures. Assignments and test are relatively easy, and he is very accommodating to student needs. Would strongly recommend for anyone needing a liberal arts credit, or to anyone interested in sociology.
Best teacher I ever had, kept it fun and interesting. Very clear and helpful. Thank you.
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD! Seriously, he is amazing. There is noooo way you can fail his class. There are only 2 tests during the semester so make sure you study and you'll be fine. (mid-term and final) He makes all his lectures fun and very clear. He's just GREAT!!! I am going to recommend him to all my friends. TAKE HIM!! :)
I took him for sociology over the summer and he is amazing. It's no doubt an easy class to pass! Everything is done by powerpoint, and he tells you exactly what you need to know for the 2 tests. You don't need the textbook at all so don't bother buying it! I would deffinatly take him again if he taught more!
he is an awesome professor. his only tests are very easy and he tells you exactly what to study. i would take him again in a heart beat and will recommand him to everyone.
Had him over the summer and passed his cass with flying colors. He is vry funy and makes class entertaining. i iked his class a lot and would take it agan in a heart beat
Professir Cole is a veryinteresting teacher. His class is fun and he keeps his class completely engaged in the discussions. No textbook needed, he prepares you for your exams. You have 2 tests and 3 essays. I honestly dont know how you could get less than an A in this class.
I took his class over the summer and we had 2 test and 3 500 word essays to do. Every thing was done on power point, as long as you went to class and did the essays there is no way to fail this class. The class before the midterm and final he goes over the test and tells you what you need to know. This class is almost fail proof.
AWESOME! Relates subject material to real life. Great exam reviews, very helpful, makes himself very accessible for questions. Great guy!Take him!!
The class was fun and interesting, and he cares about the subject matter and how you understand it rather than petty homework assignments. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone, especially if you are interested in sociology. The two exams (mid term/final) are easy as long as you attend his very straightforward review the class before.
I will aways use ratemyprofessor.com from now on, what a great first experience!
THANKS
I wish more teachers were like this one.
Professor Cole is a great teacher. He makes the class enjoyable. I was never bored in his class. He reviews everyhting that will be one the test and gives you multiple choices on the topics you can write about. I highly recommend him, plus he is easy on the eyes and funny too!
He's a great professor! Makes the subject really interesting and he's funny! Take him, he's awesome :) A+ ALL THE WAY !!
Mike keeps his classes interesting. Definately knows his subject well and is a very effective speaker. Creates an atmosphere where learning is done through interaction in the class...not by reading the text like a drone! Great professor and a good guy.
Great teacher! Very funny!!
You should take this teacher. Very funny and easy.
He is an amazing teacher. He has a great sense of humor. Teaches straight off of power point. Easy A.
THE BEST PROFFESSOR I HAD. MR COLE ROCKS.
Great guy, full of humour but not laughing during your text.
Very helpful and he wants you to succeed. Funny and he makes the class very humerous and interesting
GREATEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! HE IS HILARIOUS AND MAKES CLASS INTERESTING, NOT A SINGLE BORING MOMENT IN HIS CLASS. HE LETS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE EXAMS. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO PASS AND NOT BE BORED. : )
Cool guy. Interesting class. You wont need the book at all. There is no homework. Just 3 short essays due by the end of semester. Easy multiple choice exams that he reviews and lets you know exactly what you should know.
If Sociology is your Major, then take this professor. He is extremely funny and his slides provide Crystal Clear information. I used my knowledge against USF SYG students and beat them. 3 essays and 2 easy tests. YOU DONT NEED THE BOOK!!! He is a Sociology Major with tons of life experience. Easy A. Thanks Prof Cole > Cesar
Fantastic teacher. I had a good time in his class. Also, He really makes the class interesting
Awesome teacher! Not only did I learn a lot but I also looked forward to class every week. Made lectures fun and intresting. I would highly reconmend taking HIS class if your a Sociology major or doing your Nursing pre-reqs at HCC.
Great Great professor one of the best! Understanding, easy, and fun. It's a relief from stress type of class. I would advise take this class with a hard class so you can balance both without being stressed. Again great class and professor.
show up he'll get you in and out with a passing grade in the class
Fun class, not your typical professor. Can be shocking at times - in a good way! Doesn't use the book so you won't want to miss class. Gives good reviews for mid-term and final. Don't take Sociology from anyone else!
Thank God for Mr. Cole! He made my life easier this semester by being direct and clear about what he wanted. NO TRICKS! He is quirky, but allows students to be themselves!! Wish I had him for every class.
Mr. Cole is a good teacher who makes the class interesting and fun. He has a good sense of humor. You need to go to class, but its an easy A. Good reviews before mid-term and finals so you know exactly what to study. Highly recommend this professor.
Easy A, good teacher, don't need to buy book, makes things easy to understand and learning fun. choose from over 100 topics & write 3 essays due end of semester, midterm and final, good test reviews. Recommend going to test review days if missed any days prior. Have recommended to everyone already.
He is funny. You will actually remember what he teaches because he makes it interesting. not strict at all. and you do not need to buy the textbook
I agree with the fact that he is funny and you will remember things because he makes it fun!! :D
Great teacher, informative and funny at the same time. Relates class material to everyday life which makes it easier to remember. Would recommend to anyone.
BEST CLASS EVER.
Loveeeee him; I strongly recommend him and easy A. Two exam and 3 questions 500 words essay. no need to purchase the book.
Cool & easy proff.Lectures are all powerpoint.Do all 3 essays.He provides review for mid-term & final.And you will pass w/ A.Great teacher.
Hilarious guy, tries to be relatable & doesn't mind if you text or eat in class. I wish more professors were like him.
Great class.
Wonderful. Easy! Awesome!
Wonderful. Easy! Awesome!
Fun Class
I agree w/ everyone else. Great teacher who really cares.
this professor is amazing. I highly recommend him.
This guy is amazing. Before taking this class I thought sociology was going to be a pain, but Mr Cole is hilarious. He's very charismatic & easy to pay attention to. He is direct with what he wants you to know, & is very knowledgeable of his field. His outlines for tests are great to study, & he doesn't kill you with homework. I learned alot. Take.
Awesome teacher. He jokes with the class and lightens up the material. If you study for and hour on the two exams you'll get an A.Wish I would had taken him sooner.
Great teacher! Professor Cole is funny and he makes Sociology very easy to comprehend. I definitely recommend him!
One of the best teachers at HCC. Very happy that I took him and you will be too.
FANTASTIC instructor! Really made the class interesting and has a great sense of humor. So glad I took this class I definitely recommend him as a teacher!!
Professor Cole is a awesome instructor. He likes to crack jokes which made class more interesting. The learning material was very easy to comprehend and remember.He does reviews for exams.There were NO surprises on the exam. Would recommend his class to anyone!!7
If you cannot pull an A in this class then you may want to consider wearing a helmet at all times. Class is interesting and Mr. Cole keeps it entertaining.
Follw his notes and you will do fine. Makes class fun & interesting
The best professor EVER!!!!! Wish he could taught another class!!! If you take him, you won't regret it.
He was sooo awesome I really enjoyed his class. Mr.Cole is really funny doesn't care if you text during class and I never even wanted to miss. GREAT TEACHER!!!
Prof Cole was awesome, if you can't pass this class then you should think about quitting school. He keeps you laughing through the class and is very approachable. Take this class, you won't regret it
Omg, Professor Cole, is the bomb! His class is very interesting
Seriously easy class. You don't have to show up to know the material, but he will randomly give bonus points if you do. He will literally tell you what slides are on the exam and give you everything you need on the slides. Absolutely do not need a text book. I've taken two classes with him. Awesome professor.
FANTASTIC teacher! He made Sociology an interesting class rather than a boring lecture. Easy opportunity to make an A. Take his class...you won't regret it!!!
This has been the best class so far in my college career, he is an amazing teacher, he will keep you laughing the entire semester. He makes the class very interesting, and fun to go to. Take him you will not regret it!
He is a nice guy. The lectures usually seem to go off on tangents but he gives you all the slides that will be on the test. Only thing That I wasnt crazy about is there are only two tests in the class. For poor test takers like myself, this was difficukt
Such a great teacher! His class is a stress free environment. He's also a funny teacher. Textbook was never used, there are two exams and 3 essays you have to do the whole semester. The best part is that he tells you what's going to be on the exam!
The class was a amazing. His teaching methods are different but they work. He tells jokes so you remember it better, and he doesnt use a bunch of boring slides.
Awesome Professor! i would take him again. I made an A in his class, he makes it stress free. He is clear on the materieal. He goes by powerpoints so no text book is required. i enjoyed my class because he a fun teacher. i highley recommend him to take.
Will keep you laughing the entire class time.. He is very helpful and wants to make sure you succeed. He makes class fun to sit in
Awesome professor! He is very entertaining and I had so much fun in his class. One of the few good professors that I had at Brandon campus. TAKE HIM!
Take this class and thank me later.
Great Teacher! Very fun class and he's really nice. No book necessary and he lets you turn in the essays by the end of the semester! I had a very enjoyable time in his class and would recommend his class to anyone needing the credit!
Loved this professor! Even after moving to Tampa I'm looking for a way to fit his Marriage and Family course in to my schedule and Ill drive out to Brandon for it. He made going to class fun and was really funny and unfiltered which made the class enjoyable. Take this class if you're an adult and want to be treated like one. He's the best.
He is the best professor I've ever taken. Book is Not needed and attendance is not required. There are only 2 tests,MIDTERM AND FINAL and they are exactly from the power points, SO IF YOU STUDY YOU WILL GET AN A. 3 essays really easy.If you want AN "A" TAKE HIS CLASS.
I drove to the Brandon campus from Tampa twice a week all Summer to take Marriage and Family with him after I had him for Sociology last year. If you need to get Sociology out of the way for your AA, it will be the single greatest mistake of your life if you don't take him. I wish he taught more classes, Id drive to Brandon every term.
This class is super easy and the professor is super helpful. There are 3 "essays" that you choose from a list of questions. He doesn't have a word count or special requirements for the essays. You take a midterm and final but he reviews EXACTLY what you need to know. Slideshows are made available online to print out for notes. Great class to take.
He is hilarious. We were always laughing and I found myself wanting to come to class (imagine that?). He tells a lot of stories about real-life events & material so you can easily tie it back into sociology. I managed to snag an A! Please take his class, you will not regret it. He's pretty cute too, but shhhh.
Cole is such an easy grader and he basically tells you exactly what is on the tests. All you have to do is make sure you write the three essays and show up for the reviews & two tests and you've pretty much got an A. Foolproof.
He takes attendance, but, for the most part, if you just print the PowerPoints and show up the class before the test, he'll review everything that will actually be on test. Gives two tests and three papers, but the papers are only because he has to.
Professor Cole is pretty good. You don't need the book, but you can get it if you want. Pretty straight forward. Reviews before test and tells you what he's looking for. Overall a great class. I highly recommend taking the class.
Very easy class. The grade was a midterm, final, and three easy writing assignments. Attending class was helpful but not necessary. Print out power points and bring on the day before an exam: he will go over everything that will be on the test - ATTEND THIS DAY! If you memorize and study all the slide, you're golden.
I will be taking another class from Mr. Cole. He makes coming to class fun. He makes you want to participate. His lectures help you meet the other students in your class, whereas other classes you never know any one.
He is a great teacher. You will definately learn from him. His class is only 2 tests which he tells you what to study for and three easy essays. My only critique is that he speaks low so sit upfront :) otherwise a great teacher
Easy class, and he is a great teacher. Discussions are interesting. He tells you exactly what will be on the test, and they are based on the power points from the lectures. He does post them online. I did not purchase the book for this class.
2 tests no book needed great teacher and a very easy class! pay attention and show up on review days and you will do fine.
Mr. Cole was great. His class was very entertaining. He made Sociology a fun and easy to understand subject. Your grade is based on three essays and two exams. He reviews the material before the exam. As long as you study what he goes over and turn in your essays you will pass!!! I definitely recommend him for any classes he's teaching.
One of the better teachers i have ever taken. Cares about his students. I took his night classes and he was great at understanding if you come late due to work.
Best professor out there! Super hilarious and my 3 hour night class once a week ended up being 1 hour. Attendance wasn't mandatory but I went just because of how great he was, both comical and he really knew his stuff too. The class before exam go to class and he gives the material for what the questions are, got an A both times. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I would take any class this man teaches! No homework except 3 essays that are all due at the end of the term. Gives extra credit on midterm and final exam. Hilarious man and you are free to speak your mind about anything he talks!
I wish prof Cole taught more classes. If you don't pass his class, something is really wrong. No homework, just 2 exams and he will tell you EXACTLY what will be on them the day before for review. He is very open-minded and hilarious! Don't even second guess it-take Prof Cole if you want to pass.
Best teacher I've taken so far. He doesn't pressure you when it comes to turning in the essays. He's very funny and real cool. I'm telling you don't hesitate to take him!!! There are 3 essays to be turned in and they are super easy. There are 2 tests a midterm and a final. Thats everything that has to be done for that class... Take him!!
Cole is the best teacher I've ever had. He is hilarious and makes his lectures count. The 3 hour class takes a maximum of 1 and a half hour at best. His grading is only the Mid-term, the final, and three essays that you get a 100% for if you just turn them in. TAKE HIS CLASS!
His class was very simple. He sends you a power point containing the semester's lectures prior to 1st class. There are only 5 grades for the class- a mid-term, final & 3- 500 word essays. His lectures are entertaining because he is hilarious. He does a final review the week prior, telling you everything that will be on the test. Easy A!
If you are a hands on learner this isn't the class for you. each class he will go over slides . The review will be slides and you will need to take notes of what will be on the test. SO DONT MISS REVIEW DAY.
Professor Cole is a great professor, understanding, good lectures, overall great proffesor.
If you can take him for any class, do yourself a favor and do it. You will get out early every class. He will tell you what to study and to take pictures of it. That will be the test. You don't need to take notes. He has a few papers but show effort in them and you will receive credit. Show up on review days. Interesting class, he's a cool guy.
Keeps you engaged ! Really enjoy the lectures.
Professor Cole was very laid back. He made sure class was out quickly each night in order to watch the football games. The class was so easy that you didn't have to pay attention to the lectures to understand. He tells you exactly what will be on the midterm and final. As long as you study that you'll receive an easy A, along with extra credit.
This class is the easiest class you can take. Professor gives weekly lectures and has class discussions throughout. Make sure you come for the review days and final!
Super chill prof. Materials made available in files on Canvas. His lectures are easy to follow and he encourages class discussion. Show up for review days and study for the midterm and final, and write the paper, and there's no way you won't pass. Plus, the course is great material.
teaches to his opinion and agrees with his opinion only. 2 exams and a final paper for government are the only grades. his political viewpoint made it very difficult to feel confident with my paper given my belief was the opposite.
Best professor! Easy going. Take his class:)
Hes so funny, his lectures are the best, you wont regret taking this class. Hes also really easy when it comes to grading
TAKE HIS CLASS. I took his 7pm class, and it was never longer the an 1 or 1 1/2. There is only a Mid-term, Final exam and essay for grades ! He tells you what you need to know and dont during the PP he review the class Before your midterm and finals. Hes a very cool laid back teacher easy to approach. All you have to do is show up for class
Mr. cole wasnt a bad professor Hes actually really nice but his grading styles were terrible and he gives no work the only assignments you have are the Gordon rule assignment a midterm and a final exam and your also graded on attendance, but because these are your only grades if you miss a day or fail an exam your grade will suffer!!!
Gives a few assignments & tells u if you messed up on something what it is he is looking for and allows u to fix it. He wants you to explain in your own words/opinion but seems to be very harsh on it. He has graded 2 assignments & im almost at a B. Thankfully he lets you resubmit assignments. Wouldnt say its one of those breeze through easy classes
Mr. Cole had amazing lectures. He allowed us to resubmit our assignments. He grades assignments fairly off of the presentations he provides. His lectures are straightforward and engaging. I would retake him for sure. The textbook he provides is very interesting, as well.
Lectures are important for homework.
