AMAZING teacher! So helpful and very clear about what he wants. He is very concerned about preparing you for the "C" Test. Papers are pretty easy. Funny, makes the class fun. Read what you need to; pay attention in class and you'll do fine. I highly recommend him!

he's pretty legit! very good teacher real easy going and the thing hes real tough on is commas! haha

I highly recommend taking Dr. Cooper. He's extremely nice, and funny. Ask questions and he'll be more than happy to help you out. Wants you to excel as long as you do your part. Show up to class, read the assignments, and participate, and you'll do great!

Great class, great teacher. He is really into video games like fallout, chat him up sometime about it. Very lenient essay grader, 10 total papers though.

Great teacher that helps a lot. He does a great job of preparing you for the final tests.

As long as you turn in your papers on time, he gives you the chance to earn an A. Nice guy, willing to talk over any problems, really wants his students to pass.

GREAT PROFESSOR! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM!

Cool guy, very honest, gives back papers quickly. Like you to be on time,its an easy A if you turn in your papers on time. Good class. Not hardcore about grammar but will point it out.

While he can be a great teacher there is several things that are very frustrating. I feel that this teacher can be rather rude and will just talk over his students a lot of the time. The classroom environment just feels awful, I honestly never want to go into the class. He can have good moments though and can be pretty funny.

Dr. Cooper is awesome! He really knows what he's talking about and he's passionate about it. He was very interested in helping his students succeed. He won't give you a grade you haven't earned, but he gives everyone an equal chance. He really helped me feel confident about my writing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Dr. P Cooper is an amazing teacher. I was not looking forward to taking English 1302, but after the class I felt confident in my writing and interpreting the information from the textbook. This summer I took three classes and each class had a paper requirement. I made A's on all my papers. I owe it all to Dr. P Cooper for pushing me to succeed.

Dr. Cooper is so helpful that he helps the students to get the confidence in writing, and most importantly, he is so knowledgeable. he can write an essay in 15 mins!! He is an amazing professor. The best best best professor I have ever had. Dont miss him. He is the best in the world.

Dr. Cooper is an interesting character. He came across as pompous at first but turned out to be a nice guy. Very no nonsense and to the point. I found his teaching method to be quite effective. You could tell he wanted all his students to succeed. I was dreading 1301 but actually ended up enjoying it. Take his class.

I've taken him for 1301 and 1302. He's a little strange and loves to give his opinions about everything. His classes are super easy just as long as you READ the HW. He is always early and very strict on attendance but his assignments are simple just as long as you take notes on want he expects. This dude is worth taking.

He's the best teacher that I've ever had. He's very understanding and helpful with all of the assignments. All of his instructions are clear and all of his grading policies are easy and manageable as long as you do your work. HE'S NOT RUDE, he's monotone and friendly. I'm taking his class for 1302. I highly recommend him.

I can't speak for anyone else, but Dr. Cooper has only ever been helpful and nice to me. He is polite and encouraging to me when I email him, and he is the same way to me and everyone else in my class. I have seen him act surprised now and then when someone just totally blows off the reading homework or whatever, but not mean or anything.

At first you sort of wonder why it's different from any other English class you've ever seen before, but as the time goes, you start to understand why he teaches it the way he does, and you also really notice your skills improving. All you have to do is get the textbooks, show up every day, and do the work on time, that's all. He's a good teacher.

I think I might make an A in Dr. Cooper's class, since I only have two absences and no late papers. For me personally, the class is pretty easy, though some people wouldn't say the same. All that's important is to never turn a paper in late, and always ask him if you have a question. He never gets mad about you asking questions, no matter how many.

Professor Cooper is an excellent teacher can be hard on you but knows you have potential and makes you work for your grade. Be ready to read and go to class! Not hard class, just have to get work done if you really want an A.

Actually, I thought Cooper was pretty patient with all the students in my class. Some of them really slacked off and didn't try and you could tell he hated the idea that they were probably gonna fail. As for the pacing, it's easy for me to say considering the grade I got, but a lot of people needed those deadlines as near the end as they could get

Not great at English? Cooper will teach you. (2 others from class agreed.) Already great? Then take Cooper, it's easy. I got a B only because my job gave me no time to get the A. ACC makes 1301 so all the big grading stuff comes at the end, but that's their fault, not Cooper's. He makes it as easy as he can, and he lets you choose your topics.

Great teacher. I thought I was okay at writing, but I'm better now that I'm done with his 1301. Helpful in person, and helpful over email. Class is easy if you get your work done on time (or better yet early) and just try to read the reading homework. You should take Cooper for English, recommend very much to anyone willing to improve themselves.

He lays out EXACTLY what you need to do in the syllabus. Got A's in comp1&2. Before I failed english once and withdrew another time. From day one he has you write a short analysis over an assigned reading and each one is exactly like the c test and each paper assigned. Do the readings and papers when assigned and you'll get an A. EMAIL him!

Professor Cooper always encourages us to talk or give our opinion, even if it doesn't agree with his. I was surprised to see people on here not like him, but maybe they just didn't like the grade they earned. I wish I could take him for 1302! My friend and I like how he keeps us awake-- he's a good teacher.

I am a student from Africa. This professor was my favorite ever so far. Yes he kept us awake at 7:30 in the morning! Just what we needed. He was always joking or in a funny mood. He was serious about teaching us but he pushed us to figure things out for ourselves in class, he guided us to the answers. Great teacher, take him.

I WISH I could have taken Cooper for another class. I liked Cooper's class but that was last semester. I have different teacher THIS semester who is a NIGHTMARE compared to Cooper. Cooper has a good attitude and wants to help you. I wish ALL teachers at ACC were just like him but they aren't. Cooper also gave good feedback UNLIKE MY TEACHER NOW.

I felt when I went into this class that I was a pretty good writer already. I would think that anybody would improve some just from all the practice writing, and that goes for me too. But on top of that, I'd say this class improved my critical thinking skills, and that's at least as important for college and the future. I liked the class.

Just do all the essays on time and show up on time every day and you're good. I would recommend this professor to others. He worked with me a lot about what my papers were going to be about and I saw him doing the same with other people too, especially if they needed help asked for help. He will answer the same question over and over and not mind

Great English Professor. Takes time to make sure you understand all instructions. Wish more professors were like him. He is always willing to answer any amount of questions, in class or during his office hours or over email, and he's quick to answer email. He's fine with helping you whether you don't need much help, or a lot, or in-between.

Had Cooper a year ago. Lots of bad stuff going on in my life then, which made me get a C in his class--my fault. I just tried to take 1301 again, for my GPA. OMG now know how lucky I was getting Cooper, the professor I had this summer was so bad, if you fell behind she made it practically impossible to pass, I dropped just in time. Cooper is great!

He complemented me on my arguments in my final research paper, so yes, he does read the content of what you write. People who think othrwise must not be following directions. When he says have 4 sources and annotate yr works cited, I dont know why people turn in papers with 3 sources and dont annotate! Cooper's a good, and very clear, professor.

I'm taking his ENGL2 class because I thought he was a great teacher and I enjoyed his teaching style. He only gives feedback on a passing paper if you ask him, and is fair with the criticism he gives. If you can back up a point on your paper he disagrees with, he allows it. He understands not everyone writes the same. Great first college experience

English 1301 is what I took from Mr. Cooper. It's been 20+ years since I've been in school so I was very nervous but he was very patient, understanding and always willing to help! If you come to class, write he papers he asks, you will get an A. Great professor!!

Mr. Cooper was a great teacher, he was clear on what he expected from you and as long as you stay on task, it shouldn't be too difficult. Expect to read short stories and write several papers throughout the semester.

Cooper is a great guy once he opens up to the class. He has a very scary sarcasm at times but you'll see he has a great soft side. He sets VERY clear guidelines and is open to your response as long as you have reasoning behind it. Put in the effort in his essays and you will pass the class easily with a high grade.

He's intense, and fast at first, slows down as the class goes (except the grading, he still gets papers back quickly the whole time). A few folks seem annoyed because he enforces rules like no food in the classroom and no using your phone in the classroom (just go out in the hall if you need to use it), but I wasn't annoyed, I had an awesome time

Dr Cooper is awesome, I find his sarcasm towards students with issues to be hilarious. He talks the hard game on the first day, but he is reasonable. Make sure you so up and do what he says for his assignments, it is not hard at all.

Yeah I think him being all rules-based the first day is just to make sure everyone takes him and the class seriously. I personally find him amusing, but NOT sarcastic at all. Actually he always says exactly what he means. In fact he'll speak in really long sentences sometimes trying to find a way to say things without hurting anyone's feelings.

I like how fast he gets back on email, one of my professors last semester took more than a week if she got back to me at all. Cooper's attitude was also the best of any of my professors last semester. He didn't mind lots and lots of questions. I wish he was teaching more classes besides 1301.

Being late only hurts your grade if you do it a LOT. Also being absent you can be absent three times and nothing bad happens, it is only if you miss two weeks of class or more that your absences might start affecting your grade. I can understand that, one of my other teachers said she'd drop us if we missed that much not that I did. So it's fair.

At first, Dr. Cooper may seem like a real hard a*s, but youll warm up to him. He is absolutely brilliant and cares a lot about his work. He will help you if you are struggling with your papers or any of the course content. He is extremely fair. Do your work and youll Make an A.

Comp 1 with Cooper was an easy A. His teaching style wasn't my favorite because he responds very bluntly to students and wouldn't explain concepts very well. Though he works with you to make sure you get a good grade on your papers and he prepares you for the C test. As long as you show up to class and do the work, you'll make a good grade.

He doesnt put any grades until the last day of the semester. In this class you will write 5 essays.

Professor Cooper is a amazing professor. Cooper makes it clear what he wants out of your papers, and is willing to give plenty of feedback on what you need to improve on. He is very willing to work with his students, and is very easy to get a hold of outside of class, and responds very quickly! I enjoyed his class and would recommend taking him!

Dr. P. Cooper was amazing! He made my first college class a great experience. If you do your everyday reading (very short stories) you will do great!! He tells you exactly how he wants your papers, and is a very fair grader. You will write five papers and you will learn from each one of them. I hope to have Dr. Cooper for a future class.

I am almost done with his Fall 2020 1301 course. The official time is that it starts at 7:30 am, but it's asynchronous which means there are no required live meetings. He was still nice enough to hold a few, though hardly anyone showed up. Thankfully it was all typed so instead of sitting through the recording, I could just read the words on screen

I passed with an A! I feel so grateful. Mr. Cooper got back to me often and fast this semester. He was the best of all my professors at doing that. He said in a letter near the start that he would push us to do the best work we were able to do and he did. I am surprised that I feel grateful for that, but I do. I can tell how I improved.

The class was easy. You read excerpts from your textbook every week. Sometimes he would have a zoom to discuss or have you send response to question regarding the excerpts. The essays are easy if you plan ahead and turn in on time. He's very goos at giving advice to fix your essay. Overall good class and good prof.

Cooper is a great guy. You'll see he has a great soft side when you get to know him. He sets VERY clear guidelines and is open to your response as long as you have reasoning behind it. Put in the effort in his essays and you will pass the class easily with a high grade. All you have to do is read, write, and ask questions (maybe not in that order).

Cooper just wants us to pass-- if we do the work and follow directions. I didn't have a set of working speakers, so I was so relieved when he typed a lot of stuff during class meetings. I don't know if that's something he did because of the possibility of people not being able to hear him, but it sure helped me a lot.

He was a pretty good professor. He gives really good feedback and does his best to make sure each student passes. He is also very strict regarding turning things in on time, so I would not recommend for those of you who like to procrastinate.

Gets back faster on email than my other professors. Cooper has a good attitude, wants to help. He is patient, never rude. I noticed there are two coopers that teach english, maybe some people are confusing them because this Cooper is great.

Cooper is very forgiving about everything being late except the final drafts of the papers. Even then, a late paper is only worth 1 letter-grade reduction (not per day or per week, but AT ALL). As long as you don't turn in three late papers, you can do well-- and even if you do, you can still pass the class...

Preston Cooper is one of the nicest professors I have ever had at ACC! His style of teaching is a little different than most professors, which makes him stand out from the crowd. He will give very necessary and clear instructions and/or feedback for your papers. He cares about the mental well-being of his students, and often checks in with us.

very informative, heavy on feedback.

Professor Cooper was a really nice teacher to have. Very fast grader, responded to emails quickly, and overall, wanted you to pass. If you cared and put some effort into his class, it would be an easy A. Overall outstanding professor.

Professor Cooper is the best! He takes the time to proof read every essay before turning it in (some professors would not care to do such things). Although there were 5 essays, they weren't that bad honestly and professor Cooper always responds to emails in a timely manner. I wish I could take him for COMP2

Very clear instructions on essays also understanding if you make mistakes and easy to talk to and nice.

Don't turn in final drafts of papers late especially not 3 times. And be real sure not to space on the deadline for the final exam. BUT as long as you don't mess up those things he's pretty easy. Even with a lot of late papers though you can still pass (with a C) if you turn it all in in time. If you start having problems email him immediately!

We did some class exercises (mostly to get us ready for one of the papers), but more than that he helped us with our papers during class-- lots of him helping us with sources and to come up with topics and thesis sentences and stuff. I wouldn't say it was easy but he helped us a lot. Good teacher, gets back to you fast, gives good feedback.

I don't see why Professor Cooper doesn't have a 5 on this site. He is helpful and walks you through everything and is VERY patient. I mean you do have to try but he will explain things as many times as you need him to if you just ask, and it is not all that hard, or that is how it was to me.

Nice guy. Very positive attitude. Showed his face every single day on camera, but didn't make us have to turn our cameras on if we didn't want to. You do need to buy the one textbook. I bought mine as an ebook. You don't use it at first but starting with paper 3 you have to look at it alot, if you are doing things right anyway.

Came here to leave a review for professor Cooper and was surprised to see his page. Him having so many 5s was not surprising but other things were. If you even try to do the work he helps you write each paper as much as you need. He does everything but come up with topics for you and sometimes he even does that. Cooper is great.

Professor doesn't lecture often because he spends a lot more time helping us with our papers. The reason he's typing is he's helping each of us over Blackboard individually. Or he would be if everyone asked for help. It's obvious that some people just expect him to I don't know what instead of answering individual questions.

Not surprised to see that Cooper has a 5 on this site. Everything about him has a vibe of wanting to help. I have personally seen him explain something 3 times in row. The same question asked by 3 different students when the last 2 were not paying attention. And he just repeats the answer! Maybe tries saying it in a different way! So patient.

The ratings system on this site is messed up. Looks like Prof. Cooper had a 5 on here a couple weeks ago but that now even though nothing else has changed it's under 5. Well he sure deserves a 5. His assignments aren't easy but they aren't hard either. The main point is that he helps you as much as you need or ask for. Not a jerk like some at ACC.

You write 5 papers and you do some exercises in class that help you with the 4th paper. 3 or more late papers will hurt you bad but 1 or 2 will not hurt you so bad. To me it seems like the biggest thing is to not have any papers missing at the end of the semester so that you make sure you can take the departmental exam on time. That is fair.

Professor Cooper's class was good. He grades pretty fast and replies to emails fast compared to other professors. He wants you to pass. All you have to do is do the work. Good professor.

Professor Cooper really helped me with my paper. He takes the time to help with proofreading but also how to get started (after you get a topic approved). The 5 essays, aren't bad if you read and follow instructions. Professor Cooper always responds to emails in a timely manner. I wish I could take him for COMP 2.

Agree, very clear instructions on essays also understanding if you make mistakes and easy to talk to and nice.

Don't turn in final drafts of papers late, especially not 3 times. And make sure you turn the departmental exam in before the deadline. BUT as long as you don't mess up those things he's pretty easy. Even with a lot of late papers though you can still pass (with a C) if you turn it all in in time. If you start having problems email him immediately!

Easy class, but he can be rude at times.

I don't see why Professor Cooper doesn't have a 5 on this site. He is helpful and walks you through everything and is VERY patient and nice! I don't know what anyone could complain about.

Mr. Cooper is amazing. His class is all about writing and if you do just what he teaches you, you'll get an A easily. His only day off used to be on Friday, other than that you can contact him any time even on weekend. He responds to your email fast and gives really good feedback for your papers too. He also gives you chances to revise your papers.

5 essay, nothing else. He gives you feedback on the rough draft so you can make corrections. If you don't receive an A on the paper you can redo it for a better grade. Turn in the essay in time and you'll do just fine.

Professor Cooper's ENGL1301 class is a straightforward writing course. While the essays can be tough, he provides clear guidance and is very helpful if you engage with the material. Unstuck AI was a game-changer for essay prep. Overall, an engaging class with a fair workload.

His attitude is fine. Good really. People are always coming in late and asking the same questions over and over again. Surprised he's so patient tbh. It's not that he's arrogant it's that he's the professor teaching the class. Oh and he hates AI so don't ever use it for his class at all.

My favorite teacher this semester. I got an A. Not a hard grader you just have to follow instructions and do what he says. He doesn't ask for anything hard. We wrote about technology which was more interesting than I expected.

He helps all of us with our papers. Helps each of us over Zoom individually or he would be if everyone asked for help. Some people just don't bother to ask him for help with papers I guess. A lot of times the answer you want is already in the syllabus or the handout though.

Professor Cooper's 1302 class was about analyzing short stories. He tells you exactly how he wants you to write them. It might have been harder but it wasn't because he helped every step of the way. The other person was right though saying don't use AI at all. I don't think it would have helped anyway because of the way he wants the papers to be.

I took this class over the summer. We had to write 7 papers and they were all based on short stories in the textbook. He gave good feedback after turning in rough drafts, basically an easy A.

What I just realized today is that the secret is to just talk to him. Like I private messaged him on Zoom today and he just typed a bunch of stuff. Somehow he's kind of intense? And he seems intimidating but he's actually not. You just have to talk to him and ask him questions or wahtever. I think most people don't realize that.

If you have trouble this professor will help you. The important thing if you want the best grade possible is just to do your best to turn in all your papers on time and to not put things off. Based on the comments he made to the class at the end it sounds like the one thing he can't help with is if you miss the important deadlines at the end.
