young, smart, three exams: mc, terms, essay........some website based essays........lot of work in five weeks but good class

Pretty good teacher overall. Very helpful with questions and assignments were clearly given. This class wasn't too hard, but it wasn't a breezy walk in the park either.

Great teacher. Took him for summer. We read one book, wrote 4 1 page website evaulation, and 3 exams. Very helpful, very easy, very clear.

A truly great teacher! Brand new so he really challenges you but enthusiasm motivates students interest in History!

A truly great teacher! Just started teaching so he really challenges you but enthusiasm motivates students interest in History!

Very good teacher, he really likes to get to know his students and what they think. The reading is a bit lengthy, but his tests are reasonable. MC, essay, and short answer. He grades fairly and you'll end up getting a better grade than you think if you just put in the effort. Best history class ever.

I took him this summer and I enjoyed it. I got an A in the class. Just study the test review sheet he gives you and do the weekly website evaluations (which are easy) and it's a easy A. He's nice and knows what he's teaching. I definitely recommend for you to take him.

Amazing Teacher and is very helpful. Organized and does not go off topic, likes when students participate in lectures. Reading is a must because he likes discussions over the readings. Gives out reviews before tests which are EXTREMELY helpful. Does like to assign weekly assignments and does offer extra credit.

Gotta love him! He's one of the best professors I ever have! I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Good teacher, he takes interest in his students. He does give you a lot of reading and essay writings, but he grades in our favor as long there is a good effort taken by our part. I really enjoyed taking this class with him. The lectures were fun and doing the extra credit was enjoyable.

Awesome teacher, 4 tests (including the final which is only over the last section, not the whole class) and 1 paper, that it for the whole course. He gives great reviews for the test. Take this guy if you want an A, and light work load.

Ffriendly person. Class participation necessary. VERY HEAVY WORKLOAD. Especially because I have 3 other classes. I have to read chapters from the main book, 2 extra books, and these separate readings. Definitely not an easy A because on the tests, there's so much you have to memorize. You have to know the 5 Ws with 80 terms, plus the readings etc.

Super super easy teacher please take him !! he works with you and grades fair Take him.

Nice, professional, and knowledgeable professor. His lectures are entertaining. There are three tests, including final, an essay, and you get graded for participation. He chooses on people randomly, but doesn't embarrass. Tests are not easy tho. Three parts: vocab, quotes, and essays. He assigns readings weekly. Not an easy A, but you really learn

Excellent teacher! he is very intelligent and professional. You do have to read a lot but if you do so you will have an easy A. Participation in class counts 20%. He ask mostly about your opinions so no answer is right or wrong. He is one of the best teachers I had, so far, at HCC. You will learn a lot.

Dr.Cox is an awesome teacher! Listen and participate in class and you will already have a good grade in 20% of the class. If you take good notes and listen then you can just study off of them and get a good grade on the test! Took in the summer session I in 2014 and did fairly well. Extra credit is available!

Honestly he is the best professor I've ever had, just read what he assigns and you'll do fine

He is one of the most incredible professors i've ever had. If to take into account that i was not interested in history at all and all i could say about history was leave the past in the past, he changed my view about it to 180 degrees. His lectures are very interesting, due to the reason that he truly loves what he is doing.

I'm not usually impressed by a history class by any means, but he made it easy and clear to understand and to follow. I have a new found interest, took him for both Hist1301 and 02 A's in both. Work is required but wont feel like it

Great professor and AMAZING speaker! He speaks so clearly and fluently and doesn't even look at any notes! He clearly knows what he's talking about and speaks in a way that's easy to understand. Tests are a little tough, lots of vocab. Just read the chapters and you should be ok. DO GOOD ON THE ESSAYS AND READ THEIR BOOKS. -Seriously.

Since I've been in college this professor is one of the BEST i ever had he speaks very very clearly, he knows whats he is talking about, lectures are amazing, he makes it interesting, Great Proff, if you do NOT like to read do NOT take this Class & a lots of Vocabs. i had an amazing time learning how AMERICA killed everybody for their own benefits

There are 3 tests and 3 essays (4 page double spaced). He drops the worst grade. Final is not comprehensive. The textbook is a must have because the tests are based on the vocab from the textbooks. The essays are from book readings, which he provides for free online. His lectures aren't long and he asks questions. Helpful, Respectful, and Dedicated

This professor is amazing, i always blame it on the beard. His lectures are not boring like other, he engages the class and the only bad thing about it is that the students do not read in order to keep the lecture and conversation going. I took him for both history classes, my class schedule was based on his class, I did not want to miss it. READ!

Dr. Cox is an AMAZING professor. He is VERY knowledgable, and EXTREMELY helpful. However, his class was tough. Hardest class I have ever taken. Insane work load; I nearly dropped the class. But he was determined that I stay, and was by my side to help me. He is an Exceptional human being. If you can handle pressure, take him. Lots of reading!

Professor Cox is an extremely nice person. I knew he was going to make history enjoyable just by reading his syllabus. I took the class during a 5 week summer course. There is 4 tests and 2 papers, both over novels, so be ready to be on top of your reading and studying. I did not study for one test and still made a 75. I definitely recommend him!!!

To be honest, history is my weakest subject; however, Mr. Cox makes you understand, not just memorize the terms. I took him for a 5-week course this summer. My summer class consisted of 4 tests and 2 essays; he will drop the lowest grade that you have, so keep that in mind. I will gladly take him for History 1302!

He is great!!! His lectures are wonderful!! He gets the class involved keeps it interesting! A couple of reading assignments with essays that follow they're lengthy readings but you have a while to read them plus they're good stories. Do the reviews and you'll pass the exam! Kinda need the book to do the reviews so its Mandatory to have the book.

Awesome Professor I would take him again He knows History very well Take him for History

The best professor ever I wish he could teach all my other subjects!!! Uses book. Take notes and pay attention to what he says in class. 4Tests 3Essays 3Extra Credit Very Easy Very Fun

Would definitely recommend him. Never been a fan of history but he actually made it enjoyable. Study the reviews & key terms in the book and it's hard not to get an A or B. Attendance isn't mandatory but you'll miss a lot. He's very helpful & wants to see you succeed, also gives extra credit. NO FINAL. Take him!!!

Though I hate history this class wasn't bad like I thought it would be! He made history interesting! We did have to read a lot though. 3 essays 1 research paper that's it. But he does expect good stuff. I will take for 1302! No textbook just a book of stories. Or you can find them online.

At first the class may sound and seem overwhelming but it's a great class and straight to the point. You can jump ahead on the syllabus and if you have any questions he will help you and stay connected. Be prepared to read

If you don't like to read then don't take this class. You are required to read a book with 6 autobiographies. You will have to write 3 essays and 1 research paper that is 8 pgs. If you don't like to read then this class isn't for you. I passed the class with a C and i did not read them through. I skimmed through the reading and did essays last min.

Professor Cox is very clear in what he expects from your work. 3 easy essays from one book you have to read and one 8page paper. No midterm or final. Only skimmed through the ebook readings to use for the book essays. Does expect little participation from his students. Would take again.

highly recommend. easy grader, no tests, just papers. whole term you work on a research paper. gives interesting readings you have to cite, so try to stay on track. always lets you know when the discussions are about the book a day before. willing to help. talks the whole class, can be a bit boring. try to talk a lot!

Best teacher ever, writes essays, but amazing lectures. Highly recommended.

I took him for Hist 1301 during the Fall 2016 semester. He's a respectful individual and is very knowledgeable about US history. He gives interesting lectures. His exams were difficult, but he gives chances for extra credit. The answers for all his quizzes are online so that helps too. He makes you work hard/study for your grade.

Professor Cox has been the best history professor! Although there is a lot of reading, the course material is very interesting and easy to read. Fair grader.

Professor Cox is great. Yes there is reading and pop quizzes but he makes it clear how grading is done. NOT BORING AT ALL! Time seems to fly once the discussion starts plus participating helps. He makes it interesting by keeping the class involved by asking questions etc. I definitely recommend prof. Cox I learned a lot and so would you.

Dr. Cox is a caring, intelligent, and a respectful professor. Although there are quite a lot of reading assignments, he is always willing to help or explain any questions. We had four exams that covers four chapters per exam, a book review and quizzes. He also drops the ten lowest quiz grades. He is very understanding and patient. Would take again!

I knew this class would have a lot to read but never imagine it will be that much! 30-40 pages in one book, another 2 chapters from other book and 1 chapter from a really boring history research book about a Native Americans tribe every week. 30 questions quiz multiple choice every Sunday. 1 essay per chapter, so 4 essays per month and 1 book revie

Best college proffessor. Makes you feel important and like you matter. If you show that you're trying he notices. He's a great teacher and he's funny!

Took him online as full semester class & loved it! I'd like to comment that although the papers due were long & required reading, it's pretty easy if you simply manage your time and all. Plus his grading was not as rough! I feel as if you put a bit of effort he'll notice and have empathy for your grade. Extra plus, he gave extra credit opportunity!

Great professor. Grades consist of weekly quizzes which are fairly easy if you do the reading and five papers including one major research paper that counts as your final. Reading material is interesting and relevant. Responds to emails quickly. Gives some extra credit opportunities towards the end of the semester.

OMG, the greatest, love him, wish he taught all my classes.

He is a good professor and will give constructive criticisms on each of your work. He will not tolerate plagiarism, if you are planning to copy or paraphrase from online then pls don't take him, he will give you a 0 for plagiarism. If you are ready to read and write and actually do your work then you will do fine and will get an A.

i passed this class with an A without even trying. I would bring my laptop and watch netflix and not even pay attention to the lectures. The key to passing this class is to pay attention to the lectures that he gives in class about the books because if you dont read (Like me) it helps out a lot!

I would 100% recommend you to take this class, you'll read a lot but there aren't any tests. we had 4 essays on different readings and one research paper that was due in parents throughout the semester so it wasn't bad. you don't have to buy the books since you can find them online, he usually gives 85's, I didn't read two books(aka my grade)

The best, best, best! Love him, great class. Wish he taught all my classes.

A great professor if you are an actual history major. I would've done better if I turned in my essays on time but I had no motivation cause I hate history. There 4 essays over our readings (that I never read, he always gave a well detailed summary in class so I just skimmed the reading for quotes), and our term essay were the assignments.

He's awesome. He knows his stuff, one of smartest teachers I ever had. Really expects us to read and work so we learn. It's reading/writing focused, not quizzes and tests. Some love that, some hate that, but he will work hard to make you a better writer.

I really enjoyed this professor. I took him for my summer class, History 1301, and your grades really depend on you. I work full time and had other summer classes, yet I found this class to be by far the easiest. The book reports that 'killed' everyone its bs. Just skim the book for useful quotes and use prior knowledge on history and it's easy.

I actually took this class two times as I got a D on the first attempt (although this was more of a fault on my side). The 2nd time I took it was during the 5 week summer session, and OMG that was intense as hell as the essays were TOUGH with very little time at all. The lectures were very engaging though as he speaks to us directly and articulate.

This class was incredibly difficult as he has very rigid grading criteria for the essays and book reports he assigns. However, I will say that even though the class was grueling, the amount of essays and reports I wrote in this class SIGNIFICANTLY helped my writing skills, so I thank him for that. Another good thing is there are no tests at all!

I have never been this engaged within a history class. His lectures are straight forward. Pay attention and you will be surprised about the amount of material you are capable to retain. While grades are based off of essays, do not understimate the essays. Yes you have to do a lot of reading! Welcome to college. Overall, Professor Cox is amazing!

Awesome Professor in HCC. Delivers 200% efforts in his class and no tests/exams. Lectures are amazing and interesting. Highly recommended and will join for another class. Attendance benefits.

There is a lot of reading and papers. No test, just papers. Listen in class your most likely going to be using his lectures in papers and especially your research paper. If you need help just ask him, he'll try his best to help you.

I took him for a summer online 5 wk course and did not read the free online textbook he provided, but got a high B in his class. You do have to try, and a few papers are 1000+ words, but if you hate reading like I do, you might be able to pass this without reading as long as you can write well. All assignments were written assignments.

I took him for the regular term. He was straight forward about what he wanted. The lectures were great. However, they were not related to the essays, which came from the readings assignments (some long af) Not books needed so thats a plus. Very caring and gave us a great advice at the end of the semester. I totally recommend on taking him!

I took Professor Cox in the Spring. His lectures are amazing but he does not test on them. There aren't any tests at all. You are, however, required to reach 3 books and write reviews on them. I found the books better than textbook reading. There is also a 10 page paper due as the final. If you start early, this is easy! I recommend this prof.

Great history teacher! Was super friendly and made funny jokes here and there throughout the semester. Super accessible outside of class through his email and is very open-minded. We didnt have any exams for this class, only essays. They were based on the books assigned and it was easy because he would go over an analysis of each in class!

You will have to read, there are usually 4 essay papers in a 16 week class. I started 1301 without knowing citations at all. HE WILL WALK YOU THROUGH IT, just talk to him. Professor C is the most open minded prof I have come across, he really cares about his students and makes it V easy to pass his class, 20% is just attendance n participation.

1302 had a lot of reading, he goes over the books in class. 1 major paper on a topic of your choice, he helps u through every step. Caring, incredibly knowledgeable, straight forward and genuine. I would take this prof for any and all classes he teaches if they were my requirements. Brilliant professor, anyone who says otherwise didnt try at ALL.

This class is easy. You dont have to read the history book or takes tests. You just read the books he assigns (theyre easy & u can listen to them on audio) and write 4 1000 word essays. Probably the easiest class Ive ever had, just write your essays

Super easy class w no tests just essays! Write them in Chicago style, properly cite, and you can never fail. There are books to purchase in the class and you should buy them!! His discussions are funny, he's honest, and open minded.

this was my first time taking an online class honestly all you have to do is do the work and participate and youll get an easy A. He gives 4 essays and doesnt grade then heavily he also gives feedback. There are weekly discussions and if you do them youll be guaranteed to pass.

He gives great feedback on papers. Answers emails in Canvas immediately. Great books on slavery and Texas war. You cannot write the papers if you don't do the reading, so the complainers below are probably just lazy people who skipped the reading and wrote bad papers. Read, write, get an A or B.

Graded by 5 things. 4 essays & discussions. There are 2 chapter books, you need to really read to write your essays. He responds back to messages in a timely manner. He really makes you work for your grade. Although, I took him in a 5-wk course along w/ other courses.

4 essays, 2 discussions per wk, no final. You only need 2 chapter books to read in order to write your essays. Responds to messages quickly, he is very understanding. Makes you work for your grade. The only con was the reading load was very heavy, took him in a summer 8-wk course. Fair, unbiased grading. He taught me how to properly cite!

He literally only gave us 5 papers, a paper for each week since I took him in the summer. Literally was so easy. I just read what he told us to read and wrote the papers and he was an easy grader. Very easy A

4 essays and easy assignments. His essays were pretty easy to get and A on if you read the textbook. You don't even need to read the whole textbook, but read the parts that your essay is focused on.

Read a lot, 4-5 essays. Just follow instructions and you're going to be fine. His lectures and discussions are the best. Def knows what he's talking about, but also wants students to be engaged.

This professor is very good. He loves his job. He teaches with his passion. 3 books needed but you can find them all on the internet, do not need to buy them. There are 4 exams all essays. That's it! Very easy to pass. His grad was so easy. Anyways, easy A

Professor Cox only has 5 grades to put in: Four papers, and Participation. As long as you participate in class a lot and do well on the papers, you will do great. You do not have to read everything from the books, he gives you in each essay prompt which sections to read. No exams. The papers are the exams itself. Really great Professor.

Four essay exams, 1k words. no other assignments. lectures were very engaging and fun. If you're a strong writer I'd recommend it. Don't skip class! He grades participation.
