He has no idea what he is teaching, constantly confussing the class&never clearing defining what we should expect from the class starting fr. day one. The material isn't hard at all, yet he himself makes it ridiculously hard on the tests. &then makes up some non-sense grading system to make up for everyone failing. Stay away fr. any of his classes!
He is the Worst Professor everrr!!....Please do yoruself a favor and Do NOT take his class!!...Very difficult Presonality....
An excellent professor, concerned about his students, knows his subjects and works hard to encourage the best. His tests are hard, and he expects you to read and take notes. If you do not do well, it is because you did not work. Lazy students or those use to "getting over" will not do well. Take his classes!
An excellent professor. Knows what he is doing, likes the subject, is interested in his students. He is very upfront and does not like games. Class was not only fun we all learned so much from him.
Prof. Cosme was awesome!! He was funny, inventive and he spoke to us about real life and not just what the book said. He gave us great examples and used his own personal experiences to help us understand. Attendance is major with him and you have to get used to the hand cramps from the notes but he was great! I def want to take another class of his
He is a very interesting guy! Very inspiring personal stories he shared. Just pay attention, take notes (you will take A LOT), and do your work and you will be fine. He is easy going, just don't BS him. We didnt need a book for his psych of personality summer 1 class. Not sure about any other class of his. But he is cool!
He is hilarious! he's such a great teacher if i ever don't understand something he will explain it better and give examples i can relate to which makes it all easier he's very easy going but doesn't take**** so don't think you can just fly by and do nothing.
great! justen listen to him and you'll do great, take part in class too
prof.cosme was a great.Had him for a winter class.He was really funny and always showing us movies and stuff to help us more. Only had four tests that were take home,but he was really strict on attendance and tardiness.
He is hilarious makes class fun.For those who did not like him I think they just did not do anything. The test are not easy but not brutally hard either. the week of class I wondered what he was talking about but when I opened the book I saw that he was explaining everything. I was worried cuz I saw no book in front of him. He is the best.
i really loved his class!! when it comes to attendance he is very strict. he allows 3 abscences and after the third a grade level is dropped, therefor if you are bad with attendance i would not take him but i think once you go youll want to keep going!!
this guy is a joke. he expects his students to have perfect attendance, meanwhile he himself has canceled four classes so far this semester (three consecutive - that's one full class week!), and we aren't even at the halfway mark. i don't give a g-d if he's sick, there should be a substitute if he plans to miss this much. avoid this Prof, trust me.
Absolutly the best proffessor I've ever had. Keeps things interesting and engaging even when the subject is not. He is great. (dont text in his class)
Really good Prof., through and attempts to relate to students. Make sure to do your work, obviously. Show up on time: he gets really picky when it comes to attendance!
I, at first, thought he was great. He does have a good teaching style. However, he is absolutley ignorant when referring to mental illness. If you want a bias and uneducated veiw on mental illness he right for you. Otherwise don't take him!!
He is an excellent professor. He's is very strict with attendance though. If you are bad with attendance he may not be the prof for you. However he makes class very interesting and actually makes me want to come to class.
Prof. Cosme had to be the worst professor I had this semester. I got an A, C+, A, B, and an A on the final and he gave me a C in the class. I never missed a class, yet he missed 6, we had like 2 weeks off. He picks favorites so suck up to him and you will do fine, besides that good luck because he is tough.
He is a horrible teacher! Immature students may think he is funny but they mistaken it for being unprofessional and ignorant!!! The whole semester we learned more about him and his personal life than the actual subjects! They are veryo inappropriate topics to! such as his wife's body and etc. He does not respect women! he also picks favorites!Avoid
Prof. cosme seems to be great at first,trust me I did the work. Exam grade 100, papers B, and C+. Did my work, gave me a D for the class. Told me I asked inappropriate questions and was disruptive during class. I told him he must have me confused with another classmate. He hates women. I swear on it, he hates when his students do well I guess.
As a woman and psych major I found Prof. Cosme to be an outstanding professor, but he is tough. I was in two of his classes last semester and they were excellent even though he became ill with pneumonia. The negative feedback is without merit, take his class and you will see.
My second best favorite professor in my entire college life. He's amazingg!!!! Take him! I took him during the summer and he had 4 exams/all take home. NO FINAL! And he helps you out if you have any questions. Easy A!! Just pay attention in class and write down his notes, you'll be fine! TAKE HIM!
Professor Cosme was my favorite teacher so far in my college career. He made the subject fun and interesting and was the best Psychology teacher I?ve ever had. I took his class twice and got an A in both. If you listen to his directions you will get an A, the work load is light and easy if you pay attention and there is no final! I learned a lot!
Good Teacher! Helpful, interesting and fun. At first I was not sure if I was going to like him but by the end of the semester he was one of my favorites!
I took him for a summer online class, the work isn't too hard a min. of 350 word paper in APA format due aprox. every 3 days. I got an A for my final avg but I honestly didn't care much for him personally. It feels like his whole goal is to teach students APA writing not nearly anything psychology. He is a very hard criticizer and is a cocky person
This professor is very difficult, I didnt miss more than one class, and I still recieved a D+. His exams are extremely difficult, and he picks favorites in the class. Deff would not reccomend anyone to take him. If you miss class alot, he drops your grade instantly...beware
with the take home quizzes and test. Also for parents is very understanding to your needs if you have to stay home with child. Work was pretty straight forward.
took this as on-line course in summer. you need to be able to write papers and follow directions in order to do well- no tests, only papers. He is fair, but very tough. by the time you finish the papers, you have an excellent understanding of each chapter & how to write in APA format. excellent professor. demanding course work. highly recommend.
Do not take this class. I wasted my money. I had to withdraw because he would not help me and I needed help. It was an online summer course and it was extremely time consuming. I am a mother of 2 young kids and it ruined our summer. He is ignorant and unprofessional. He didnt care if we learned anything about psych., he just wanted papers.
I dont recommend this teacher. Maybe he is different in class than he is online. When ever you ask a question, you get a rude response. I understand he must receive numerous emails about stupid questions but that what we pay him for. I've asked a question before and all he said was look at the syllabus. It obviously wasn't in the syllabus if asked
This was an online course on lifespan development - there was an APA paper due every week which was annoying, but if you stay on top of your work you'll be fine. He seems like he can get very pissed at students who don't submit/ask foolish questions but if you're not among them, he'll be very helpful. All in all not easy, but I would recommend him.
Very good professor, he grades fairly, I got almost 98, 97, 84, lowest79 out of 100pts, my grade was an A. So, guys if you don't like to write or don't follow instructions and due date...loll, you are in trouble. After all, it's an easy fun course, & he doesn?t require final exam for students with average of 80/100. Good luck.
i pass the online class with him but he gave me a hard time because i never knew what he wanted on the pappers. No helpful, and i did not learn,i did email him a lot of times and he just replayed to me twice.
Cosme is the best professor at UCC. He makes the class very interesting and you will receive alot of knowledge. He grades fairly and makes everything crystal clear for everyone to understand. He creates a manageable workload and insists that you particpate. Show interest and pay attention and you'll pass!
Professor Cosme is hilarious. I like that he enjoys relating Psychology to his life and son that and who he won't pass up telling you about. He is willing to answer any question that you have. Very sarcastic though. I mean, so am I so it bothers me none. He knows what he's talking about. Definitely gotta read the book though.
Very difficult. He isn't clear when explaining theories. His voice is dreary and monotone so it's hard to focus. It's hard to apply his lessons to life. He'll often get sidetracked completely losing me. Beware.
he is a great professor, so glad i took him. he is really good and its an easy class if you do the work. he is super nice and really cares about the student and wants you to do good. and believes that you can do good! would for sure take him again.
This professor was amazing. I looked forward to coming to class. He made things clear and emphasized major theories. His tests are hard, but if you study its easy. I would love to have him again!
He is a hard professor and he is very real with his students, but he is great. He offered help to the entire class several times for papers. He really knows what he's talking about. He barely looks at his notes when he speaks. He makes class interesting and engaging. I enjoyed it a lot. It wasn't easy, but do what you're told, and you'll be fine.
he just plays movies everyday that aren't very relevant to the class. he likes to show how confident he is. he's annoying as hell and his tests are bs. he barely teaches.
Amazing! I learned so much, Prof Cosme would give you a review every week that you had to find the answers by reading the textbook. His quizzes were online straight from the review!!Easy A if you do the work
Professor Cosme made PSY 206 absurdly easy(not complaining). Heavy textbook use for tests, but he made prepping for them a breeze, and was generous grading on papers, too. He is a confident man and was proud of his accomplishments, but also really funny in lecture and seemed genuinely interested in seeing students succeed. CAVEAT: LEARN ANGEL USE!
Love the class and the way that it's taught. When I first took the class I thought that it was just things about the way we behave but I learn that its so much more. Professor Cosme was always there' when needed and always willing to answer questions and give examples.
Good professor. Easy class if work is done. When you need to get in contact with him, he won't answer your emails but will send a million other general emails. If he doesn't answer sometimes he'll point you out in front of the whole class.
He is a great teacher. I got an 100% in his class as a final grade. In order to stay ahead in his class you have to be Angel friendly, and make sure you take notes in his class.
very responsive to emails, very concerned about his students, is strict about deadlines and student, very fair
I like made taking the class whole lot more easier, very explanatory of you miss classes you wont pass help you to understand a lot better knows more outside of the book and writing notes is a must otherwise you'll be lost
This is my second time taking Cosme, and this is my second A with him. The online class was easy as long as you take it seriously. He gives 9 quizzes throughout the semester, and two of those quizzes he gives you a 100. I received an 90% on my final research paper, and he gave the people that submitted the paper an extra 10 points towards the grade
Recently took Cosme's class and got an A. He is a very simple prof with no funny business. Allowed students to give feedback on what we thought we were learning, and was genuinely interested in what people had to say. Overall a very fair class and fair prof, and can be very lenient. Would take again.
Prof Cosme is complicated. He's a tough critic for homework, exams, etc and when you respectfully ask him something, he expects you to answer your own question. Take another Prof Instructor because he's not specific on his requirements.
This professor is tough, no slacking.
Professor Cosme is critical and judgmental. He is overboard sarcastic.
This professor is excellent. He takes the time to make sure every student is doing well with his class, and he knows his subject extremely well
Heed my warning, he is a TERRIBLE teacher. He is extremely rude and makes it very uncomfortable to ask questions for clarification. Also, there is no structure to his notes, he just scribbles on the board and stands there talking for hours. He is by far the worst teacher I ever had. Dont say I did not warn you!! By the way, I got an A.
Took this class to get a better grade in psych and out of all my psyche professors, he was the hardest. Give a lot of homework that takes a lot of time to do. Course feels like it's designed against the student. MUST FOLLOW THE SYLLABUS!. I'm a bio major and i found this class taking time away from major classes. His custom book was expensive too.
Can't really say much, Makes class interesting. Sometimes he may not make sense but that is what asking questions is for. Makes subject very interesting, tries to make everyone feel comfortable. May be tough on certain areas but does give opportunities and chances to pass the class. Very lenient. Class wasn't too difficult.
Prof cosme is by far the best psychology prof , I have ever taken. He provides adequate feedback in a timely fashion and helps to the best of his availabilty. I would definitely take him again!
He is DEFINITELY not going to deviate from whatever his syllabus says. Book is expensive for no reason, ALWAYS uses current edition, even if the previous edition came out two days ago. He is extremely sarcastic and rambles. If you are an overachiever and a brown nose, maybe he will work for you. Good Luck don't say i didn't warn you
Professor Cosme is one of the worst professors I ever had in UCC. He failed to give adequate information about his assignments on the syllabus to students. He doesn't like it when you ask questions and when you do he is often rude and not clear about his answers. He talks too much but not enough on information you need. Would not take him again.
Recently took Cosme, and i enjoyed his class. I didnt participate much, or at all, but got an A. He gives extra credit and the tests are easy enough. He even let my class take a test online which makes it easier. We had one test that was open booknote, which was nice. He can ramble which is pretty annoying and his voice is monotone so u can sleep
I received communications from him every day and he also sends video messages with examples that are helpful. He also reminds students and he reviews our work and gave each of us feedback that was helpful He gave us a learning exam, each student earned 100. Overall a great professor, he expects adults students to study to learn.
Professor Cosme reviews our work and gave each of us feedback that was helpful He gave us a learning exam, each student earned 100. Overall a great professor, he expects adults students to read, study, participate and to ask questions. He sticks to the syllabus and he is clear about this from the first day of class. He is very fair.
Excellent Professor. Very knowledgeable. Gives examples, sometimes from his own life. Encourages participation in class and questions about chapters. Prepare yourself to read and write, which is great, because motivates us to learn how to become critical thinkers. I will be looking for more classes from Professor Cosme.
professor is straight forward with his instructions. He expects his assignments to be completed. He is fair grader . There is no in between with him. If you do your class work and follow his instructions you will recieve a good grade, with some rewarding throw in credits if your work is not completed you will pay for it. believe me its not hard.
Professor Cosme will push you to do better, specifically in terms of writing skills. If you don't cite or write well- don't take him. He doesn't tolerate sloppy work, so proofread it, you lazies! I never studied for his tests, spent about an hour a week on homework, took it online- got an A and a recommendation for the Honors Society from him..
Took Cosme just recently, and i can say he was the hardest professor i had so far. His lectures are good. He is very nice. The one thing that bothered me most was how he ordered students to do so much work when really it isnt about quantity. Every week students must type seven pages minimum which is time consuming. Wish this class was better
My 1st time taking the online course. Prof. Cosme has high responsibility and always be in touch with student! Be prepare to get the book ready and compatible using a CANVAS. There are a lot of reading, critical thinking, home works but also an optional extra credits which is a big help to increase the ability for your final research paper / Best!
So happy to know that Cosme will be my professor once again. He's such a likeable teacher who wants to see all his students reach for success in school, especially in the psychology field.
Very tough teacher with good values. Wants you to not just do homework but understand it.
Great psych teacher ever!!! He guides you the entire step of the way throughout the semester. His class goes exactly as stated in his syllabus. If you email his, his responses are prompt and explained thoroughly. His main goal is for his students to understand and succeed in his course. Professor Cosme is tough, but understanding at the same time.
No games, no funny business with cosme. If you slack off one bit it'll be your loss. The man is hard on attendance, so come to every class.
Horrible teacher. Only talks about his son in class and doesn't remember half of the things he talks about. Very rude and not a caring person. Don't take him. You'll regret it.
He's honestly very rude and not a professor I learned anything from. He talks about his son in almost every single class. The attitude level is extremely high. I wouldn't recommend taking him because he makes your blood pressure boil half of the time.
He is a good professor! If English isn't your native language, this class will be difficult. Even though my native language is Spanish, I passed this class with A.
He's the worst professor ever . All he talked about was his son and how he raised his son by hisself . He's a show off about how he got his degree . He very rude and has a smart mouth . I literally had to withdrawl from class .
I didn't mind the work load as I'm use to it. My issue with this professor is the way he ridicules students, his unprofessionalism, and his lack of respect for students. I had an A in his class towards the end of the semester, until I uploaded an assignment incorrectly. He gave me an F and when I asked about it he was disgusting and extremely rude.
he has no time for accommodations but he has many excuses for himself. he's sarcastic and rude. i've heard he's been teaching for years and is really old. i dont care. every year there's new students so he has to consider new situations. drop his class if you can. it was not worth it for me at all to have dealt with this man for the whole sem.
I liked the class. I had him and he was an easy teacher. Yes he may be difficult but, he fit the scary first year teacher standard. He was rude but, he said how he would be the first week. He did not do anything too bad. Just do not be late and take notes and he wont have a problem with you. Be prepared for tough homework, you will need the book!
A LOT OF ASSIGNMENT trust me his class is stressful . I had no time for my other classes because i put much effort on his assignment .Infant i couldn't breath till i took my finals SMH .He will tell you my homeworks is like slices of pizza if you miss one slide, count that you missed the whole pizza LOL which reflects to his homework GOOD LUCK
Amazing Professor!!! He is clear on what is expected of you. The homework Assignments are explained thoroughly and your given a grading rubric. He is a tell like it is professor which is what i liked most about him. As long as you follow instructions on assignments and come to class you will pass. He has no patience for irresponsible students.
he can be very sarcastic and grades harshly. if you miss more than two assignments for the whole course you will have to try really hard to get your grade up to pass the class.
I don't understand why people hate professor Cosme so much. If you do what you're supposed to do, you will pass with flying colors. Just be prepared for a lot of papers and don't miss more than 3 classes. I would definitely take him again. HES NOT A BAD PROFESSOR, very knowledgeable in what he is doing.
As personalities go he fit the mold for what he was teaching. Took Psych Personality with him and he definitely made the class enjoyable although we did work for our grades you get what you give ya know!
This is the most egocentric professor I have ever had. When this course was supposed to be nice and interesting, it became the worst course of my semester. believe me this professor is terrible!
I enjoy psychology but his attitude killed the course for me. He began to get too personal for example, very mean comments to students that were un necessary and it felt more like a dad lecturing us than a professor teaching. He was also very conceded, all the lessons seem to revolve around his life and this wasn't helpful.
most people say this he is horrible and tough. my experience with his online class is the complete opposite. Yes, he's tough, makes you work for your grade but upside is, that you actually learn and he is always willing to help. So if you're lazy and want a easy grade this is not the class for you. I give him an A+ and would take his class again
He's a very good teacher always asking you if you have any questions or concerns he gives you alot of time to do his assignments so people who complain bout his work load is lazy . i would take him again for sure
im mad bc of how hard and personal he takes everything
Best professor ever . if you really want an A take this professor. He knows how to explain very well and he give lots of jokes when giving examples on topics which makes the class even more interesting .Please take this professor if u want to get a good grade.
He is an amazing professor that brings out the best in his students. He's always willing to help in whatever way he can to make you understand the material. Best professor I've had. I wish he was teaching every course I have to take
Way too much hw
He is an amazing professor, with a lot of wisdom , he play no games he take what he teaches serious but at the end you will thank him he's very understanding you can talk to him about everything and wont be judged
He very respectful and helpful.
I love cosme he has a lot of interesting facts and he did give a lot of assignments when I did psy204 which was lifespan but when I did psy102 it was like d easiest class to take. The goal is to know how techniques and the way he wants things done and u would be good . Be smart
I know Professor Cosme does not check this at all but if he ever does I want him to know this class help me enforce discipline in myself where it was needed. I was going through a hard time that whole semester with my boyfriend having to drop out of his college and my father getting laid off. Doing his assignments reminded me to move forward.
Professor Cosme is a amazing instructor. He helps his students and encourages them to be better every week. He cares for his students he teaches you discipline and how to follow instructions. I highly recommend you taking this class with him you will learn a lot. He has so much experience that will guide you very well.
he's great professor who thaught his student and care about each of his student. he is excellent and he guide each student to be suceeed in this class.
One of the most welcoming professors Ive had. He makes class fun and interesting. Hes very knowledgeable in psychology. Can
Just do alot of work to guarantee an A there are little to no test and for me since I had an A I didn't have to take the final.
Honestly the class isnt very hard for an online class on canvas, you do a response to a chapter every Saturday night&then you have the mid-term&then the final. The only thing that makes the class hard is that he requires attendance... for an online class Monday-Friday. Points are deducted despite canvas not always having correct data.
When I would write a paper he would take off points because I missed a comma or a period or a space. When he takes points off papers, he takes off by 5. So one comma missed? -5 points. One space? Now you got -10, your average is crippled, and theres is nothing you can do about it. Other than that, hes a great prof with pretty simple hw
Just come to class, and listen to his feedback on the homework, also watch the video he posts, they are interesting.
This professor has been absolutely amazing. Very considerate but doesn't take bs, tough grader but of course it's for the better. By far the best professor I've had. Gives great feedback from assignments. To say I started his class with a D and ended up passing with an A.
Terrible professor. All he does is talk about his son, and he also assigns heavy. I was given an F for a paper that was handed in before the due date and met all the requirements, but still recieved an F because it was handed in the same day when i was given a week to do it. If he is reading this, I hope you know that you are a terrible professor.
