Dr. Cohen is the best AFA/AMH professor! Although I found his voice to be annoying, his class is super easy. There are like 2-3 tests and 3 papers but the papers are just for credit, not for a grade. Dr. Cohen is cool and even lets you eat in his class. You actually do learn because he's like a walking history book. Take this class!!

Dr. Cohen is 1 of the best History Professor at FAMU. i told him he deserves to go on 1 of those historical documentaries on the history channel Because he knows his history! If you pay attention in class i guarantee you that you will learn something new and interesting. He gives a studyguide with all of what u need to know for the test. TAKE HIM!

Super easy A. All test are online and he's super funny when he lecture. He's blind as ever so if you sit in the front, that's who he expect to participate but if you're in the back, he barely notices you. I sat in the 3rd row, and he never chose on me.

This man was downright hilarious! It's insanely easy to pass his class. Show up and participate if you want the extra credit or just show up the day before a test and pick up a study guide. The tests were pretty simple. He's very old so he can't see or hear too well. The further away you sit from him the less likely you'll get called on!

We have 2 papers (easy), 3 tests, and occasional in-class extra credit. He lectures every class period, don't sit in the front if you don't want to be called on. For the tests he gives us a study guide with terms to know the class before the test. It's long and you pretty much have to cram, but it's only moderately difficult. It's an okay class.

Cohen's lectures are boring, but he gives out random extra credit for attending. Your grade is only based on 3 tests. Overall he's okay.

Really easy class and professor. He talks a lot. There is book, but don't waste your money on it unless you actually want to learn. Passed the class by cheating. Most people take his class because he is basically blind and you can cheat with ease. Take it and move on - super easy.

His lecture are really chill. I like listening to him because he ask the student for their opinions on topics and lets us have a discussion over it. He's very caring. He hates when people come in class after 10 minutes which I understand. There are two four page papers but they're easy and the department requires it.

This class was literally cake. Calls attendance out loud. Just show up listen to his lectures and leave. Likes to talk with his eyes closed, but believe me he CAN see you. His tests were cake, since his eyes are always closed. Try not to sit in the front, he likes to call on people a lot. He also gives extra credit if you give your opinion.

Professor is the best American History professor you can have ! Attendance is not mandatory but he does give out extra credit for the ones that do show up. Sometimes he doesn't even take attendance. Most of the time he lets the class out early. ALL exams are super easy. No more than 25 questions on EVERY exam. Definitely will take him again.

This is an easy class. He can't see past the third row. The tests are easy and no more than 25 questions. You only have three tests including the final. The class isn't very interactive he just sits down and lectures. If you want an easy A take him if you want to learn don't.

The easiest class I have taken while being at FAMU. All of the test answers are online and attendance isn't mandatory. I listened to the reviews when they said he couldn't see far, yet he'd still call on me while sitting in the back. He would just say "the girl in the pink jacket" ... but still sit in the back for tests!

If you want an easy A TAKE THIS CLASS! All of the tests can be found on Quizlet. He's older so his vision is wary so he takes attendance with his eyes practically closed. Easiest class I've taken at FAMU, don't know anyone who received less than an A.

I took the class on Zoom, but attendance isn't necessarily mandatory. He calls on a few people throughout class so he isn't talking to himself. Only gives study terms (not graded) and tests. Easiest class I have.
