Dr. Cooper is an excellent professor. Taking his class means you will have to work hard, pay attention, and show up for class. He definitely will not tolerate tardy or absent students. If help is needed, he is more than willing to take time and explain the material.

His tests were hard but he was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He makes you ask yourself questions you never thought to ask and re-ask the one's you thought you knew. I still keep in touch with him after 6 years in case I have any questions. Very, very intelligent and cynical(in a good way). It changed my life.

To not like Dr. Cooper is to be very close-minded. I have never explored such aspects of life before. What an experience so far. Dr. Cooper is very helpful and encourages you to talk with him anytime. The class is not hard, show up and participate. The tests, you get what you earned. I would gladly take another class with Dr. Cooper.

He is full of knowledge but his discussions drag onto topics that don't really help you on test. study hard for test because he uses Tittle and Doepke for his questions. Half the test is an essay(25 pts). You have to write 2 research papers. As for the professor, he talks fast so it's hard to understand-country accent. don't advice you to take him.

Professor Cooper's class was a great experience. His lecture notes were very helpful in studying for exams, and he provided many extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. He was also very understanding because we had to be online because of COVID.

Sure it was a challenge and sure he was very sarcastic. But once again he treats us like adults. He gave us the syllabus and expect us to follow it. In most cases, it was the case that people didn't read it. He didn't set us up for failure but students did that on their own terms since he gave us everything we need. Overall his class was alright.

If you need organization, do not take his class. There was not a textbook for this class but I sure wish there was because we learned off of notes that were so hard to follow. He has a discussion every week and he replies to EVERY post and most responses are so harsh and just make you feel stupid. He is an awful professor. He is very opinionated.

Professor Cooper is Hilarious! He has a very strong sense of humor so pre-warning. You have no homework in his class and are graded only off of participation/attendance and tests. Overall the class was not hard but the test questions were a little confusing. I feel like his class is fairly easy as long as you pay attention to the lectures.

This professor was super nice, and his class was easy. I have taken Humanities twice because I failed the first with another professor who asked for an incredible amount of work. Professor Cooper made everything easy and as long as you did the discussions and read the material he gives you, it's easy to pass.

Discussion post and exam heavy class. He does not give homework, all that is required is to do the reading and reply to the discussion prompt, 4 exams ( including the final). He does reply to every discussion post and gives feedback, often they are helpful to understand the reading, if you did not get it and helps for the exams.

Cooper has a great sense of humor, and even while stressing for the test, he would add jokes to help break up the test and helps refresh the mind. He also gives you the text so that you don't have to buy any books, and can also read his notes to help you understand the reading. The discussion posts are useful too, helps us understand the text more.

Easily the funniest professor at CF. Makes jokes in class all the time to help lighten the mood since philosophy is pretty boring. 4 tests plus a final. Each test was 25 questions and an optional essay question. Tests were difficult, but one question is always something super easy. He also offers lots of extra credit to boost poor test grades.

Get ready to teach yourself. The final test is also a timed exam which is unfair in my opinion.

Being a humanities class it was easy, but on top of that 50% ish of the grade was just showing up to the class. Also he clearly cares.

He's the rudest professor I've had. I asked him, very politely, if there was any way he could open the final exam for me because it was open for three days. When the other exams we had were open for weeks. He told me to "check the syllabus, and tell me what you found." So I freaking failed the course. Worst professor I've had.

I took his HUM1020 it was honestly one of the most easiest class i could have taken. His test are NOT hard at all and come straight from the textbook, that he provided on canvas. If i had to take HUM1020 again it would definitely be with Cooper.

Dr.Cooper was a great professor, and I would take one of his classes again.Only graded by tests, which the lowest one is dropped.He is super funny and tries to keep the class entertaining. The tests are easy as long as you do the reading.Overall, if your looking for an easy class to satisfy part of your degree requirements, this is the guy to take.

This class is heavily graded by a handful of multiple choice exams and, to a lesser degree, discussion board posts. All the readings are available within Canvas so you don't have to buy a textbook. You will have to read a substantial amount to pass this class. Overall not too difficult but you'll have to do the readings in order to pass.

I took this professor online and he is great! We were graded on discussions and tests (none of which were too difficult, just complete the readings). His posts/descriptions were hilarious, but also very interesting. It's a class that really gets you thinking and Professor Cooper is not afraid to make it an enjoyable experience!

You are graded on discussions and (4) tests. All you have to do is complete the readings! This professor is hilarious in his descriptions and makes the subject truly fun and interesting. The discussions allow students to both learn from the readings and come to personal conclusions freely with the ability to share. I'd recommend this professor!
