Easy class, makes it a lot of fun, and actually a pretty cool guy.
Awesome Teacher, really down to earth and laid back. He is one of those teachers that will go the extra mile to help you out.

he's an awesome teacher. the tests are easy if you reread the powerpoint slides he runs off. he's very helpful and is willing to help you out if you miss a day of class or don't understand an assignment.
this was definately a good class to have at 8am. he's a funny guy.
Cobb is a very nice teacher, and is always willing to help you. Unfortunately, he usually goes the full class period.
Cobb is the man. He's the coolest teacher, hands down, that I've had at Moraine Valley. He doesn't care about attendance, but class is so enjoyable that it doesn't matter anyway. He's helpful and funny and really, really nice. Take him!
He's a nice guy who tries to make a rather boring subject enjoyable. His multiple choice tests weren't that bad and the paper was pretty easy. He doesn't take attendance and if you need help or have questions, he will take the time for you.
Mr. Cobb is awesome.I highly recommend him to anyone. He made the class very enjoyable even when I was having a rough day. He conducts a lot of class discussions which are fun because you get to hear the whole classes opinions. He's also very funny especially w/ his southern accent.
LOVE COBB!!!
Really good teacher, it was always a pleasure to go to his class. He makes the class fun and interesting, and prepares you very well for the exams.
Hes tests were hard and they go over a lot with no study guide and hardly any review. I never recieved a paper I needed for the class and he kept forgetting to give, and I needed it so I had to go to his office on my day off of school to get it! Hes unorganized.
cool as hell and a funny guy. Gives a review the class before test but like all casses you need to study but exams are not too hard.
awesome teacher. kentucky accent rocks!!!
Hes a real nice guy from kentucky. the lectures are long but real informative and fun...a lot of laughs...only get graded on 3 things...2 tests and a paper...the tests are not that bad if u just study a little...but not bad at all!
Mr. Cobb is one of those teachers who makes you want to go to class. He is very informative and uses very detailed yet interesting slides in his powerpoints. The only negative comment is that almost every class is a powerpoint presentation, so he doesn't like to mix it up, but he is fun.
He's a great professor and makes going to class fun. He's friendly and loves what he does. He's defiantly my favorite professor at Moraine!
Cobb is a good guy! His class is easy, he explains everything well. Almost every class is a powerpoint. He prints out the powerpoints, but there is some note taking required. His tests are easy as long as you study a little for them. Most of the test questions come from the packets.
The most fun a class can possibly be. We laughed everyday for 10-15 mins. Mostly lectures. Offers EC. 2Tests,1Paper,1Final, rareHW. He knows his field. Very nice, like to watch ebaums world.com videos with the class. He has some good, funny stories and lectures.
cobb is a great teacher, he loves his job. The class is basically easy, you get out of it what you put in.
Cobb rocks! The tests are fair and he is always there for his students. He makes class enjoyable and he is easy to learn from. This is a teacher you definetly want to take.
He kicked bootay. He's the best teacher and you just have the most fun in that class. I always tried not to miss a day.
Cobb is an awesome teacher! He knows exactly what he is talking about, and he made class very enjoyable...there were a lot of laughs, & at the same time, serious discussions. cobb is the best teacher for sociology!! don't take anyone else!
Excellent teacher and interesting class. Not many grades, so just make sure to study for the tests.
I HAD COBB FOR SUMMER SCHOOL AND I WISH I WOULD OF TAKEN HIM DURING A REGULAR SEMESTER. HE WAS REALLY COOL AND INTERESTING, I ACTUALLY DIDN'T MIND GOING TO SUMMER SCHOOL. IF YOU WANT AN EASY AND FUN SOCIOLOGY TEACHER I RECOMMEND COBB!!
No Comments
Cobb was a great guy, and he had some great movies. If anyone has him they should ask to see the Jessco White Dancin' Outlaw video.
Cobb is the man. Everything he brings to class is relevant and fun to talk about. Accessable and easy to talk to. If ur looking to take a soc class, take Cobb!
He is awesome! A very good teacher and I always look forward to going to his class.
He was a great teacher! We only had two papers, & no homework like ever. I always looked forward to going to his class! ALways had good discussions.
great teacher! super easy... 2 easy tests, 3 extra credits... and a paper are the only assignments all semester. i love this teacher and i would take him again for sure!! take him guys--hes fabulous!!!!
Best teacher I've had at this school
He is amazing i love the guy! He is halarious and an awesome teacher to go with.. A little tough on the tests but there are only 4 or 5 and a paper so do good and u will be fine! over all awesome teacher i loved him.
Very simple and easy to understand class. Just 2 tests and a paper towards the end of semester. Tests based mostly on notes, if you read the book you might get 2 or 3 extra questions right on the test. Overall, pretty funny and class didn't seem to drag at all.
Mr. Cobb is one of the best teachers at Moraine. He is extremely intelligent and really gets you thinking on topics of today's society. Tests are easy as long as you look through the packets beforehand.
I would reccommend Cobb to anybody interested in taking a sociology course. You'll do nothing but laugh and learn.
Interesting class with lots of funny discussions. Study the packets well, and then the 3 tests will not be that hard. You also need to write one paper.
maybe he's a good teacher but he's a horrible online teacher.. i think he needs a few lesson's on how to work a computer!.
Cobb is AWESOME! I truly believe that I've learned more from him this semester than any of my other teachers! He doesn't give homework because his class is just THAT GOOD! You actually WANT TO BE THERE! He's really nice and funny, and his cute southern accent doesn't hurt either!
I absolutely love this class, he is one of the best teachers I've ever had at moraine. You take a lot of note, but if you print out the handouts, it cuts out a lot of the note taking. His class is the only one that I actually feel bad for missing and look forward to going to. Not to mention he has a nice accent and is really funny
awesome teacher! funny, showed 40 year old virgin in class! never gives homework. No attendence policy either
He's good. All the lectures are easy to understand and everything you need to know for the tests - he gives you. No homework and he doesn't care about attendance, but if you miss, you will miss the notes. He did show many 'topic related' clips from youtube.com including Dane Cook, Chappelle's show, and people breaking each other's arms. He is FU
Cobb is very easy and he makes the class fun. He has a southern accent which makes his jokes funnier!!! He is down to earth!! He does not give out any assignments...only 1 paper at the end of the semester about someone you know....just 3 tests and thats it....I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER!!!! if u want to have fun!!
For starters he is sooo cute. I loved his class and I was very upset when it ended. You actually learn from him. He loves teaching and it shows. He's easy going, fun and down to earth. He teaches because he wants to help student not screw them over like most teachers. You have a few tests and a paper, TAKE RICKY COBB!!!
Anyone who leaves a negative comment about Cobb is a complete idiot!!! He is the best teacher I ever had, he's funny and his lectures are not boring like other teachers are. I wish I could take him every semester, but I already took all the classes that he offered. I highly recommend him, TAKE HIM you wont regret it!!!
Great teacher. Tries to get students involved with teaching. Easy Tests. DO NOT BUY BOOK!
He was a great teacher. Loved his method of teaching. His test were hard so you do have to study the notes. He never uses the book so don't waste your money.
Cobb is hilarious! Dont be mistaken though....his tests are pretty hard. They are mult choice. We only had 3 tests in the class so you NEED to do good on the tests. There is extra credit options but they are random so better hope you were in class the day he gives them. Great teacher!!
He is seriously the best teacher ever i actually enjoy going to class hes one of the few teachers that keep his students awake and makes jokes here and there that are supper funny.
This class was super easy and fun for the most part...he is obsessed with youtube and will look up just about anything...There are only 3 tests and a final and the test aren't too bad as long as you study his powerpoints!
He is the best teacher. He is very thorough and helpful. Funny accent and good stories to tell. He makes sociology worth learning and the assignments are fun too. He likes to google info and make learning fun. Does not treat you like a kid
Cobb is the best teacher in the history of the planet! I took him for Soc101 and 204. He is the nicest guy in the world. He makes class fun and interesting. You don't need the book at all. Tests are easy as long as you look over the powerpoints beforehand. No homework ever! This is a teacher who really knows how to teach. I never leanred more!
A fun funny guy that makes you want to show up for class. He is very kind and I will never forget having him as on of my teachers. I recommend him to everyone I know going to the school. Great stories and an understanding guy if things come up!
GREAT TEACHER..VERY FUNNY EASY TO UNDERSTAND..WE DIDNT EVEN NEED THE TEXTBOOK ALL WE NEEDED WAS HIS POWERPOINT NOTES AND THATS IT..I REALLY RECOMMEND HIM..EASY AND A FUNNY TEACHER
Cobbs a really good teacher. Very easy going/hilarious. im suprised hes not on comedy TV The only thing i would say is DONT even buy the book. Its never used.literally. the class consists of power points and lecture. DEF recommended
He is extremely funny and nice. The main thing i look for when I'm on this website is if the teacher is easy and if they make attendance mandatory and he does not! Except you'll WANT to go to his class...I loved it! Recommended 100%
Very cool and easy teacher! his tests are some what tricky but he is VERY helpful and understanding!! FUN class.. only 2exams, a final and a short paper!! Some extra credit but you have to be there on the day he gives it out!!! over all easy class!
Cobb is the cream of the academic crop. I wish i could have had this guy every semester.
Cobb is my favorite teacher of all time! Great guy and makes it crystal clear to understand. He lectures everyday but hes hilarious and its not boring.
Hes such a cool teacher and can realte well to the students to keep them interested.
A for awesome I took family and marriage with him and he mind this rather boring subject fun...attendance was not mandatory but I liked the class so much I never missed it....
He is one of the best!!!! Class was so interesting and fun. He is a nice guy and teaches well. His tests are not easy, but if you take good notes, you'll be fine. Highly recommend- you learn a lot and have fun at the same time.
he is bad ass!!! the coolest teacher ever, his class is pretty easy and he makes it fun, i definatelly recommend him there is nothing mean or wrong about him!!!
Soc 101 with Mr. Cobb is the most entertaining class I've so far taken. There are two tests, a final, and a paper. Tests are over the notes but ask very specific questions so memorize the notes to the best of your ability. Attendance isn't mandatory and the class is interesting. I highly recomend.
COBB is HAWWWWWWWT. Best thing to come out of Kentucky.
Cobb is great at guiding discussions. We made MVCC history for being the first "Sex & Gender"! Non-talkers will have a hard time since class participation is 25% of our grade. Girls, *cough* women, out numbered the guys. WARNING: almost every discussion turned into an anti-male discussion. THANKS BARBARA - thank god you're back at the east coast
WARNING: almost every discussion turned into an anti-male discussion. I'm a guy, and it was horrible. On the bright side girls *cough*, women, outnumbered the guys. Non-talkers will have a hard time since class participation is 25% of our grade. Cobb is great at guiding discussions.
BEST TEACHER EVER.VERY FAIR AND HIS STORIES AND ACCENT IS HILARIOUS. HE WILL TELL YOU UP FRONT WHAT TO EXPECT, WHICH IS NOT TOO MUCH. TAKE HIM AND YOU WILL WANT TO COME TO CLASS. DON'T BE INTROVERT(SHY) CLASS PARTICIPATION 25% OF YOUR GRADE. THIS IS COLLEGE TIME TO COME OUT OF THE SHELL
Mr. Cobb is like Kentucky Fried Chicken........cuz he is just 'mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm good' !!!!!!!! =]]]
I took this class online and it was very easy. There isn't that much work. You have to post on the discussion board a lot but he is very helpful when in need of clarification. I definitely recommend taking him for SOC101.
Cobb is awesome hes from horse cave, TEN. don't miss more than 4 classes don't worry its not hard cuz he makes class awesome. you don't need a book he has slides on black board that you fill in class. he started everyday with a you tube video. the only thing you need to do is study for his tests they are not hard and not easy just study!!!!
He is hands down the best teacher at Moraine. He is very helpful and understanding and gets involved a lot with forums and debates. I loved taking his class and it was online so I can imagine how much more fun it would have been to take in person. DO take Mr. Cobb.
Mr.Cobb is an amazing teacher. He's simply the best! Class attendance always very high because he's so entertaining and interesting. He makes you feel so comfortable in class. You are always in a good mood after one of his classes! HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. COBB!
AMAZING TEACHER!!! DEFINITELY TAKE HIM IF YOU GET thE CHANCE! EASY, FUN, and CLEAR! BEST EXPERIENCE EVER
Very easy class. Attendance is mandatory, but everyone comes to class because it's fun. Three tests (including the final), and two easy papers (one is madatory extra credit). Take notes, study the notes, skim the book, you should get an A. If you don't, you're stupid.
Cobb is fantastic. His classes are worth fighting to get in. Only problem? He says you need to buy the book when you don't. That's the only complaint I have because Cobb is simply fantastic!
Mr. Cobb is a great teacher. He is down to earth and is fair. His test are straight forward but he makes the class material stick in your head easier. Although classes are mandatory they are still fun he tries his best to make is interesting. Highly recommended teacher.
Highly recommend this teacher! he is awesome! no test all we did was watch movies and discuss them. class was always interesting. Mr.Cobb is funny and very laid back. easy A just show up and participate
Best class ever! No tests, just watched movies and discussed them. Cobb is very laid back and open. I actually looked forward to this class. I strongly suggest taking him
I love his class so much. As much as study hard, he accepts my work. His lecture was extremely interesting and funny!
Really FUNNY! Easy class. Didnt like madatory attendace. The test were a little weird..they were mult choice and more than once answer could be correct, so u chose best answer. That was really confusing. Any other hmwrk was easy
Very funny and interesting teacher. Class is easy if you study the notes taken in class. There was 2 tests, 1 paper, and 1 assignment, and he offered extra credit once.
Ricky Cobb could be a stand-up comedian. His lectures are laced with hilarious quotes which make the course material more memorable. He manages somehow to be both entertaining and highly competent and organized- a rare combination of traits in teachers, I daresay.
Awesome teacher! He does a great job giving you what is needed on tests, he lectures well, he is very understanding and helpful, and he is a very funny teacher. He does a great job over all and I would definitely take him again.
Mr. Cobb is awesome. His class has minimal assignments. He grades super easy. We watch a on of movies, and basically just have discussions in class about things that are actually interesting. He's hilarious and so nice. Definitely loved this class.
I took this class online and it was something i recommend! He is a very nice teacher and everything online is very clear on what you need to do! Definitely a good class :_)
Mr cobb is the best teacher at moraine valley. i had him for soc 101 and now taking soc 215 with him again because he is such a great teacher. very interesting class discussions. watch great movies and then write a 2 page reaction paper on the movie or article. Great class. I love coming to his class 2 times a wk for an hr and 15 mins.Best stories.
BEST TEACHER EVER. so sweet and has a great sense of humor, always says something funny to say
I took his online class. I did not like it, I got an A only because I read that book and studied. He has no power points/notes basically you must read and understand every chapter to do well on weekly quizzes and midterm and Final. And does not offer extra credit. I heard he was great if you take him on campus.
TAKE THIS CLASS! he's probably the best teacher at Moraine! he's super helpful and makes learning actually worth it! everytime I'd leave that classroom my stomach would hurt from laughing so hard! he's great! totally worth it! :)
This professor is awesome and his class is good. No test but about 10 papers to write about movie or article very laid back. Attendance is a necessity can be absent 4x and you must participate in discussion. Which is so easy to do because the topics are good. Take this class it fun.
By far the best and most interesting class ever, i love the class discussions and all the papers are opinion based!!!
One of the greatest teachers i have ever had. Very understanding, and keeps class amused. i can honestly say i have never met any teacher like him.
He's not as good as people make him out to be, and he's not NICE!!
Very clear. Very easy. Every week all you had to do was read the chapter, do a couple discussion questions with 2 responses to others and 10 true/false quiz. SUPER EASY online course. My first one and it was so easy. Recommend it online. It actually got me interested in the subject too.
I took this class Hybrid style. it was really easy, you get earn 40 points easily if you do the discussion board every week and 10 T/F quizzes every week were easy also. There was 1 paper, but the paper is basically analyzing someones life. Take this professor and you'll enjoy the class and get a good grade! (That's if you take it the Hybrid Way)
I understand why people like him, I just didn't. Easy A though.
I took ricky twice when I was at moraine because of how great he made class, this was one class I actually looked forward to coming to. TAKE HIM FOR ANY CLASS and youll love it.
I took him online and it was great. You have to read the chapters he assigns and you will do awesome on the quizzes. The discussion board postings are actually really fun topics and are more opinion based so you can't be wrong. Take him, he was crystal clear on everything! Great teacher!
Good teacher. Wants to see his students pass. Very funny and keeps his class and lectures interesting. No homework but you have to study for tests if you want to pass. Always willing to help if you need it. Don't need the book although it's recommended I didn't buy it and did fine. Overall fun class but suggest you study.
He's super enthusiastic when teaching, won't bore you for one second. I took the hybrid class which is only meeting once a week for an hour. He was amazing. You have a quiz once a week on a chapter and have to participate in discussion.
All you have to do is response papers which are two pages long, double-spaced, and two questions for a group discussion. You just have to show up and give your opinion on something. He gave me extra credit a couple times, because he likes my papers so I ended up with a 105% in the class. We watch movies and read articles. Super funny and nice!!!
Super fun and enjoyable. Easy class. I took a hybrid and he's really great with getting back to you soon.
Very funny teacher, I liked him as a person. However his tests are tough and he doesn't give study guides so be prepared to read and read and read for hours.
The worst teacher I have taken here. The tests were way too hard. He's really obnoxious. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE GUY IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GRADE!
Cobb is smart, funny, and a great teacher! Nice guy too. You have to study to get a good grade, but the exams are fair. Take this class to learn, laugh, and THINK!
I love Cobb, but the class layout is a lot different than what i'm used to. one day we'll watch a movie then we have to write a response paper and then the next class we have a discussion on the movie/topic. the discussions are fun though, it's just different. it's nice because there's no tests either but you do have to give a presentation.
Probably my favorite teacher, definitely top 3. Makes the laugh everyday. He tries to make the class as fun as possible.
Prof Cobb's personality makes the class great. One downside is he does not post on blackboard if class is cancelled so if you go home for break make a friend that stays on campus. Powerpoint's are crucial to tests but the online quizzes you use your textbook. Overall great teacher and great person.
Ricky Cobb is a wonderful professor, you will enjoy his lecture and it really is informative.. he's very respectful and funny. If you do your assignments and read well for exams, you will be very happy with him.. I feel lucky that I took this subject with him and I encouraged my friends to take it with him. Don't forget you need the book to read.
Ricky Cobb is Dope! you don't need a text book for this class, you don't take tests, all you do in his class is watch movies and write reaction papers which are 2 pages. Take this class if you need more electives he is just that good! Also, class discussions are the best because he listens to every ones opinions and relates to his students.
He's a really good guy, he's funny but don't take him if you get offended easily. Would take his class again.
very laid back and chill. we had 10 reaction papers on the movies we watched and articles we read. and even one that was just anything that we wanted to write about related to the class.(because he never put up the article) we would have class discussions on the movies. cancelled class a couple times. very easy class. one of the funnier teachers
Amazing teacher and class. You have 10 reaction papers, and a presentation. All you basically do is watch movies and write 2-page papers on them. Participation is also a huge part of the grade, so make sure you speak during the class discussions. Cobb is a hilarious guys, and I would take him again.
Took this class online over summer and it was a pretty easy and self explanatory. The hardest part was the sociological perspective paper, which even then wasn't that bad. Do your assignments on time, keep up with discussion boards, and this class will be a breeze.
Great teacher.. REALLY REALLY FUNNY. Super aware of what's up and Hip. Ask him about baseball and his book. You da best Ricky
Very knowledgeable and very nice person. It was pleasure to listen his lectures. He makes you really interested to what he is talking about. Did I say that he is very nice person already?
Super cool guy, attendance is mandatory, but like you don't wanna miss any of his classes, because they don't feel like class. It's cool though, because you do learn stuff. His tests are decently tough, but study and you're golden. Crude humor, and sometimes offensive so if you don't have tough skin and dry humor then I honestly would not recommend
The class consisted mostly of watching movies and having discussions.
has amazing interactive lectures. 4 tests + sociology paper for the final. one of the most laid back teachers at MVCC. if you want an easy A-B definitely take Ricky!! you won't regret it. the ONLY downside is that you don't review for the test, he just says study bold terms but its self explanatory
He's funny and you will love taking this class as hybrid in summer! Three weeks/ meet once a week. So easy! Tests are open book on line he gives you three days to take it. Don't waste a whole semester on this class! I would take another class with him if I could.
Best online class EVER. Great guy, very understanding. TAKE HIM!!!
Awesome teacher, hilarious, very laid back. My class was the 3 week hybrid over the summer, 1 day a week, 9am-2pm. Was not boring spending my day there, so if you have the opportunity, take SOC-101-350 over the 3-week May-June period. For this specific class there was only three exams and a paper, plus some extra credit if youre able to remind him.
He is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had. I took 3 classes with him and he is extremely passionate about the topics. The class is not hard to get an A because there is minimal work and he is a easy grader. I have never recommended a teacher as much as I recommend him.
Ricky Cobb uses his classroom to practice his stand up comedy routine. Sometimes he is funny and interesting, other times the class is terribly boring. His class is death by powerpoints and conversations about himself. The class itself is easy as long as you study and show up for class.
Cobb is the best. Great class. Funny guy and cares about his students!
Mr. Cobb was a great teacher and an easy A. I took his soc 101 hybrid course and it was very simple. The class time was fun and prepared you for the quizzes and exams (taken online). Great teacher and would, probably will take again
In this class the only graded assignments are 2 exams, the final, and 1 essay. The lectures are easy to follow along with but he does go off topic for a bit. There is a textbook that is required because he doesnt go over everything and text book things are on the exams. The class is easy as long as you read and do well on the exams.
He is a good teacher, and would have very great conversatioons when we were in class. if II had one recommendation however, id sayy not to take his online or hybrid classes. I took a hybrid class (which is online and in person). you can tell he cared less about us. hed upload tests late, and hed leave early in our once a week classes.
Professor Cobb had me in tears every class- laughing tears. This guy is HILARIOUS, and loves applying everyday situations to topics discussed in class. Grades based on 3 exams and a paper. Doesn't take attendance after the 3rd week. Doesn't provide study guides for exams. Exams 80% notes and 20% textbook material. Such a cool professor, TAKE HIM!
awesome
Awesome teacher. Offers extra credit.. listen his lectures attentiveyans you gonna pass with A
Cobb is an amazing Professor, I've taken several of his classes and even though I've transferred now I would definitely take a class here with him again. He makes sociology fun and you learn a lot. If you show up and you make an effort you will pass. He's super understanding and really funny.
HE IS THE BEST. Only about 6 grades in the gradebook for this class so as long as you do good on the ONE PAPER and FEW TESTS you should get an easy A-. He loves joking with us and always tells the best funniest stories. If you want a laid back and easy going teacher THEN HES THE BEST. Overall had so much fun in the class and the material was fun:)
Cobb is a good guy and a decent professor at best. I dont understand the hype he gets because he is not that great of a teacher and the class is just alright. He gave me a unfair grade on my final presentation that he never explained his reasoning behind it. Would not take again.
Cobb is the best prof at MVCC. Great guy, very fair. HILARIOUS!!
Great professor as long as you do the work and study you will pass.
Online classes can be a hassle if you can't manage your time. Mr. Cobb makes taking an online class extremely easy.
He is literally the best teacher ever. His soc 101 class has about 4 or 5 tests which you really do need to study for. He's hilarious, it's made me take two more of his classes, social problems and sex and gender. Those two classes you mostly watch movies and write your reactions on them, and you'll do one presentation. Classes count as geneds!
Honestly such a great teacher. Hes super funny and super understanding. 10/10 would take again.
Honestly, we just watched movies and wrote reaction papers to those movies for my sociology of sex and gender with him. SUPER easy grader and so hilarious! The papers were all super informal. Really understanding and respectful. No tests or quizzes ever! I skipped four times maybe and it didn't affect my grade. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
By far the best teacher to ever walk the school of Moraine Valley I deadass would take him again even tho I don't need it but his classes are full
I took this class online. He provided absolutely no feedback on any assignments, i dont even think he read them tbh. if you do the work you will pass, but there is no educational value at all. no quizzes or tests. really east A but if youre paying out of pocket find something else more worth your while
The guy is a legend. Hilarious lectures, understanding person. His courses fill fast.
I had him for my soc 101 and just finished up my soc 204. He is funny and very laid back and he grades papers super easy. 101 has way more work than 204, a lot of discussions in 204 and participating is graded. I have yet to hear from anyone who doesn't think he is an awesome prof.
what a great professor. ive taken him for 3 classes, and hes always the same. hes kind, funny, and his class makes you think. not only about yourself, but the world. its an easy class, were all you really do is watch movies that have to do with the sociological issue that you're talking about, write a short review, then discuss
Ricky was honestly hands down one of the most unique professors that i have ever taken, he is funny while also very passionate about the topics that were discussed. The class itself was very easy, he assigns two page papers which are really easy and he's a easy grader and doesn't like to fail people. I would defiantly take him!!
Class is pretty easy but I dont see how watching a few movies counts as learning lol
I don't know if it was COVID-19 or something, but he became a pain in the butt. This class is 3 tests and one paper. This professor does not respond to student emails and is heartless when it comes to difficult situations. F this professor he complains a lot. Take this class online.
Professor Cobb has been my all-time favorite professor at Moraine, he is thoughtful, caring, and gives amazing insight. I like that we watch movies because it makes our class discussions about social problems easier to begin which allows the discussions to stem into genuine conversations. He's hilarious too which helps!
Literally best professor ever! He is so funny! If you are looking to learn things, I wouldn't take him though. He just talks about random stuff, is so open, and really fun and makes you feel respected! I would 110% take him again.
Very easy overall, took his online class and it was a breeze
Prof Cobb is a joy to have. Hes very funny and attentive. My class met once a week online and it was enjoyable. Super easy class. 1 chapter a week with a 10 question quiz and discussion board. I loved this class it was very interesting! I would take again.
Just a great guy overall. Hope to take more classes with him in the future!
HANDS DOWN best teacher ive ever had at moraine, hes lenient as long as you show up to his virtual classes, cares about his students a lot
Pretty easy class. Great professor. As long as you do the work and the weekly quizzes you will pass. No proctoring or anything like that. There is one essay and it's graded super easy just to meet the criteria. Easy A as long as you get all the assignments done with effort. Only complain is grades some assignments slow but overall would take again
Professor Cobb was the easiest professor I've ever taken at Moraine Valley. If you don't show up to class he wouldn't care at all. All of his quizzes and tests are on Quizlet or Socratic. He's super funny. His lectures were boring and he says the book is required but I never used it. Very understanding and sweet 10/10! Take him you won't regret it!
Do not take this class online. I have yet to know what criteria this professor is grading off of. There is no textbook, no lessons, nothing being taught. Only assignments, which are easy, are watching movies and writing 2 page papers on them. You'd think that's simple until you get a low score and reach out for feedback. You will NOT GET FEEDBACK.
Not accessible outside class. Not sure why this professor chooses to ask of us to write 2 page papers based off movies with no lesson plan or anything being taught, give you a bad grade, and then not provide feedback. Class is a waste of time if you're paying out of pocket.
1 to 2 quizzes a week. Lot's of discussion boards. 1, 4 page paper is due at the end of the course but is interesting. All quizzes and test are about the vocab you learned, with some more in depth questions about famous sociologists; and methods. Overall great online course, if you do some reading, and a lot about 1.5 hours a week.
this is the best online class if your a busy person. We has discussions, quizzes, exams, and a final exam. I took it during the summer, very manageable if u work full time. The discussions are controversial. I rented out the book but never used it. No honor lock for anything. Take him if u have anxiety about online classes.
Hilarious guy and class discussions were always fun with Cobb. The class is super easy all you do is watch movies and write about them. He doesn't care about attendance, and he doesn't care about late work. If you want an easy class, take a class with Prof Cobb.
Easy class. One super easy paper every week on your opinion of the article or movie. Long as its the proper length, easy A. Only downside is he never answers emails, but you don't really need to email him because the class is very straightforward. Would def take again.
Easy class. One super easy paper every week written about your opinion on the article or movie. As long as you meet the length criteria on the paper, easy A each time. Only downside is he never answers emails, but the class is very straightforward you don't really need to reach out. Would def take again and highly recommend for easy credit.
THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE FIRED!!! What a waste of money! I learned NOTHING and he canceld class 8 times!!!
Easiest A ever, EVERY exam is on Socratic and there's one paper he doesn't even skim through, it is mandatory but who cares the rest of the work is online. You can finish the whole course in no joke about 3 hours without the paper. Easy Gen ed. TAKE COB!! I respect him for it honestly.
There are discussion boards that you have to keep up with, engagement with your peers is fun and allows for different perspectives on topics. The instructor is pretty easy to follow you can work ahead which is great and the test are fairly easy.
Took online, very simple teacher. One assignment a week. Teacher is extremely difficult to get ahold of online, but he does have office hours in person to reach him. He never answered a single email. This class is so simple and the most he asks for is discussion questions and that you respond to other students. Worth the take though.
Besides there being open note/open book exams and no homework Mr. Cobb truly is so funny and such a great professor. I seriously don't think there was a single class that he didn't make me laugh. He is very knowledgeable and keeps things interesting. Take his class it's worth it!
He curves the exams, and gives out extra credit. There are three exams plus a paper no homework. So if you are worried about the exams bringing you down, keep that in mind. Exams are open book and open note. Lectures are straight forward. Cobb is a funny guy as well, he keeps you invested in the class.
Discussions & Tests/Quizes, very easy online class. Recommend 100%
This is a super easy class! One discussion board and one quiz are due every week, and there are three exams and one 4-page paper. I didn't get the book, but you probably should. Take him. You won't regret it!!!!!
Ricky Cobb is a very chill, relax, funny professor. He gives chance to get extra credits. 3 exams during the semester. However, every time he will always curve 5 points for every student. There is 1 paper to write for extra credit on your final. He always tells funny story. Sometimes he shows us video on YouTube. I love his teaching strategy.
Cob is a hilarious professor who makes this easy A class super fun. With open-note exams, a simple paper, and helpful study tools like Unstuck AI, you'll breeze through the course requirements. Definitely take this class if you can!
Attendance not mandatory but he is so cool after the first day of class you will probably always want to show up after for the lectures. He makes them fun an entertaining and classroom seat set up feels safe and helps encourage discussions.
