so easy. rarely boring and has good stories. highly recommended.
# tests total, no homework, no group projects, provides handouts, doesn't take attendence, very easy
VERY EASY. No taking attendance, no taking notes. You don't have to buy the book, just a $7 thing of notes that he wrote. Good stories, uses many examples...great teacher.
He only gives lectures, but they are very interesting (jokes/stories/class discussion). He also likes to show videos. He only gave us 3 tests, which were all multiple choice and very easy. You don't need to take notes because he gives them to you. He's genuinely a good person and teaches well.
This is the coolest guy at Meramec. He showed us a South Park clip once to make a point about Multiple Personality Disorder. He tells a lot of jokes and cool stories and will always help you out if you need it.
Hey, the best teacher I've ever had!!! Even though there is not much studying in this class, I still remember almost everything from that class. I think, it is because he was very funny, interesting and interested in subject matter.
Took a couple of classes with terry. He made the subject actually somewhat interesting considering i had very little interest in the subject. Tests were very easy if you pay attention in class or read the $7 book of notes. Don't really need to do both.
professor cooper is a great teacher. His class is really simple and interessting. His tests are a breeze and he tells a lot of really corny jokes. He's a lot of fun and is very knowledgable about psychology.
Terry is an awesome person, I took the class last summer, summer '04 and I do not test well at all, but I got B's on them :) He gives you a book of all his handouts, so you don't need to take notes! I highly recommend you take Terry for any Psych class :)
Terry is a very intersting guy, and that alone is enough to get interested in what he has to say. He tells stories so well that when I was talking about him to someone else I could repeat it word for word. The class is easy and Fun!
He is the best teacher I have ever had!! He is funny, laid back, and full of surprises.
AWESOME TEACHER
Great teacher. Very easy, but you will still learn a lot.
He's really interesting and funny! Great teacher so far!
Terry Cooper is one of my favorite professors on the Meramec campus. His classes are very fun and interesting.
Cooper by far is the nicest and most laid back professor I have ever encountered. He makes all of his classes fun and interesting while clearly going through the material. If you haven't taken any of his classes, I highly recommend you do it.
one of the best teachers I have ever had!

GREAT TEACHER!!! ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!!! VERY FUNNY!!! HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!!!! WOULD TAKE ALL HIS CLASSES IF I STILL ATTENDED MERAMEC!!! AWESOME JOB COOPER!!!!
I have never had a class that was as interesting as this. Cooper makes it fun to be in his classroom, and makes psychology extremely interesting. Even if you are not majoring in psychology, take his class. I would sit in on his class even if I didn't get the credit.
This is one of the best teachers i have had. very helpful, will allow test makeups , somewhat difficult tests , but not bad at all if you study, funny too ,makes the material interesting and the class fun
very interesting, easy A. watch alot of movies gets off track alot, but a really cool guy.
One of the best!! Has a great sense of humor that makes the material incredibly interesting and fun to learn. He doesn't track attendance past the first couple weeks, but you'll regret missing a class--he's just that awesome.
Easy class, willing to give extra points, he wants to be liked by everyone. Don't need a book for his class. Only three tests, no papers or assignments - but fairly superficial approach to subject matter. Gets off track and stays there often.
he is the**** best teacher ever created
He makes the class very interesting and fun, making everyone feel comfortable and willing to get involved in conversations. Helps me in deciding what I want to do. Wonderful Professor!!
Wonderful professor!! Makes class very interesting. Makes it easy to want to learn the subject matter. Highly recommended. No homework. Works with your schedule. Great!!
I have had Cooper for 3 classes; I wish he taught many many more here. He cares about his students, and although many students try to take advantage of this, his style of teaching makes it easy for you to understand and think deeply on the subject. He maintains the interest of the class for the full period. He's fantastic!
To put it plainly, his class is awesome. Very few teachers can keep the students entertained while staying on their course schedule.
The best teacher at Meramec. I wish he would teach everything i had to take...
Coop is amazing, even if you dont try its almost impossible to fail his class. He is truly the most fun prof at meramec...i can even forgive his lame jokes, you cant not laugh tho because he clearly entertains himself with them. Take this class you will learn amazing things with an amazing person. I give him an A+++!!
Awesome professor! Very interesting. I learned a whole lot. Great class.
great
AMAZING. He doesn't take attendance, but you don't even have to come to class to understand the material. My class didn't use a textbook - he binded only the info you need to know together for easy studying. Knows his stuff and is a great teacher/guy. Very easygoing and fun; you will actually enjoy his lectures.
Cooper is the best professor I've ever had. He is entertaining, interesting, and very honest. His classes are well worth it.
Ask Walt Lewis about this teacher.
This was my second class with coop and he was just as good this time as the first. He has some REALLY bad puns, but his quirky sense of humor makes his classes unique. If you dont pass coops class its your own fault...tests dont come easier and he could explain any personality theory to anyone who has never had a psy background and theyd know it
Cooper is awesome! I loved this class. He is hilarious and makes class fun! His jokes are cheesy but so funny because he just cracks himslef up. GREAT CLASS!
Can be great lectures sometimes though I feel like I am sitting in on some people's personal sessions. However the lectures are very informatve and he can keep my attention.
he's great! his class is really fun. He is one of the best instructors I've ever had. I recomond you to take this class. That would be fun!
Awesome class, awesome teacher.
Absolutely fabulous teacher! Made my freshman semester a blast.
HE WAS THE BEST PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER EVER!
He's so good. He grades the test so easy. He is the greatest teacher I ever have. He is helpful, patient, and so funny.
this is the best professor at this school he would do anything to help a student understand the material better one of a kind.
without exaggerating, cooper is easily one of the best teachers i have ever had. he is very funny & its obvious that he likes to teach. makes his own text books which makes the classes much easier...& cheaper! gets the point across clearly & would help anyone
He is a great teacher. make the class fun and help people understand the material one the most exciting classes in Meramec. Definitely you should take him. Awesome teacher easy to understand and laugh a lot in his classes wish all the teacher were like him.
He was like the best college professor i ever had and he was such a funny guy and i loved going to his class everyday because he made his class so interesting.
Such an amazing teacher. You really learn a lot from him. He is a very nice guy too!
Cooper is awesome! A very funny man who clearly loves his job. Keep up the great work!
HE IS SOOOOO AWSOME! :)
Awesome professor!!!!
He is the easiest teacher I have ever had, primarily because he explains the material so clearly during lectures. He wrote his own textbook, which only costs $10.00, and any material you need for the test is covered clearly inside it. I got a 98% in the course without even trying. He is hands down the funniest teacher I've ever had as well.. A+++!
He is awesome. You never have to go to class! I only went on the review days and test days and I got a 95% in his class. He is really funny and doesnt care if you are on your phone or anything else. he also cancels class all the time. Easiest class I ever took!
I've taken Cooper for several classes. He is by far the best professor ever! He is funny, keeps you interested in class, and is very interested in the material he is teaching. He is patient, kind, and caring. Although you dont have to attend class, you want to b/c he is so much fun. You will learn a ton, and still have a good time. I wish every tea
Awsome professor! The only class I don't skip! Lovvve him!
AWESOME professor. Very laid back, you don't have to come to class to do well (pretty much everything you need to know is in the book), but he keeps it entertaining enough to where you want to come to class every week. I'm definitely considering taking more Psych classes with him!
Very funny teacher! He keeps class entertaining and he has a clear passion for psychology. A fantastic teacher and person, he will help anyone. If you have the chance to take his class...do it!!
Great teacher, keeps class interesting and has easy tests.
He's an amazing professor he's funny and really helpful he's awesome, o completely reccommend his class!! Keep up the good work coop!!!!!
I agree he is an amazing professor. I wish he teaches more psychology classes then he teaches now. He is very funny and he jokes around and it doesn't feel like he is teaching and feel like you aren't learning but in reality you are.Hes one of the best professors that i had have. Hes very funny . I love him and he also got an award.
Extremely fun professor, he is excited to be in class, engages students with ease, and is passionate about the subject matter. While he is prone to getting off-point the diversions are almost always fun, and he's always willing to find time for students outside of class. Absolutely wonderful professor, cannot recommend enough.
Dr Coop ... what can I say. I want to jump right in with "easiest class ever. After test 3 I didn't have to go anymore. I aced the class. test 4 was a bonus." However, that would be unfair. He's easy sure, but not because he doesn't care. He understands, I think, that not everyone is a psych major, and he doesn't spend alot of time on the survey. A
Best professor I have ever had. Cooper is the best there is. Very fun, very engaging. Class is a blast and pretty easy. No textbook, no note taking, all the material for the tests are in a handbook that costs $10. Everyone should take him. He is the best.
Great teacher. The best I have ever had. I would take every class he offers. Very funny and easy. Loves his job and it is easy to tell. Very helpful.
TOTALLY RECOMMEND! ATTENDANCE WAS NOT REQUIRED AND IF YOU SHOW UP AND TAKE THE TESTS, YOU WILL DO GREAT. HE IS VERY HUMOROUS AND WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH THE WHOLE TIME
Dr. Cooper can get off subject but it is always helpful. He makes learning fun and puts information in real life situations. He is one of the best professors I have had.
I absolutely loved him. He kept the class interesting by joking around and telling stories, but at the same time we were learning a ton of material. Attendance isn't mandatory, and you only have 2-3 tests the whole time.
I loved taking Cooper's class! He explains everything clearly and makes the lectures interesting. Voice out your opinions, he loves it and you'll learn even more. Also, laugh at his jokes. There are a lot of really bad ones, but they'll be on the tests if you laugh at them!!! Overall, best Professor I've had in my 3 years of college.
Best teacher ever, that is all there is to say about Coop. The guy truly wants you to learn the material but makes it very easy and fun to learn it. Take every class you can with him.
I absolutely loved being in his class. He is very humorous. He made learning the material really fun and easy!! I recommend everyone to take his class!!
Best teacher ever! He makes the students laugh like crazy! I loved this class. Very informative and helpful. His puns are the funniest. I would definitely recommend this prof to everyone. I will be taking more of his classes for sure!
Wow, Dr. Cooper is simply the best professor I have ever had. He is the nicest man I've ever met, and incredibly passionate about what he teaches. You will learn a tremendous amount in his classes, and he will NOT make you stress out for tests. He is happy to help whenever needed. Never did I feel I couldn't ask a question or get help.
i had 6 classes with Dr.Cooper, then proceeded to buy additional books he wrote, they are always out on lone. he will definitely entertain and is an easy going cool guy, (always available to meet). but if you want a life changing experience read the textbooks he writes and check out some of sources. this guy shoud be the head of university
Best class ever!! highly recommend taking. Everyone will pass with an A in the class.
BY FAR the best professor I have had! He makes the class fun and easy, but still interesting. HIGHLY recommend to anybody taking a psych class!
Very intelligent, down-to-earth teacher. His tests are incredibly easy. He covers interesting topics & mostly wants you to think about psychology. No papers or homework. Overall a superb class & teacher, but if you want to learn APA paper styling, then don't take this class.
Professor Cooper is honestly the best teacher I've ever had. Totally awesome! He is very passionate about what he teaches and you can just tell he cares. His tests are easy if you pay attention and show up to class.i would recommend him to anything. Simply the best!!!
I never missed a single class because I enjoyed every second of cooper's lectures! I will be taking more of his classes!
Dr. copper is awesome I will be looking forward to taking more classes with him
Prof Cooper is an awesome teacher. The most down to earth Teacher I have ever had. You won't fall asleep in this class! He will tell you exactly what is on the exam's. No surprises!
I took him for an abnormal psychology class years ago and he is still hands down, the best teacher I've ever had! Psychology is interesting already and Dr. Cooper made it even better. He was funny and years later I remember things from this class. His class is easy but psychology is an important topic.
Mr copper was f'n awesome, he took his time with the class and made sure it was easy for everybody. would take every college class with him if possible.
Cooper is the best professor I've ever had. He truly cares about students success and you can tell he loves his job! He does not make you take notes, instead has a handbook where you can follow along during his lectures. I found that very helpful. I highly recommend him!!
Cooper is brilliant and such a nice guy! I did have trouble in his class because he was a little too laid back and students took advantage of that by constantly coming and leaving and talking throughout his lectures. It made it difficult to hear him and stay focused! Easy A class.
Dr. Cooper is a very enjoyable professor. If you desire structure & to be pushed in the classroom, you should probably avoid. But if you do take his class, he won't disappoint, his lectures are great. He's very calm, and loves to work with his students. His stories are the best part, by far.
Mr copper is a great teacher. funny makes lectures fun, has great story's and is always willing to give information. 3 test and one paper for the class will take that any day.
Literally one of the EASIEST courses i have ever taken, only 2 tests (which he makes beyond easy) and a final reflection paper that you turn in and get an A. If you're satisfied with your grade, you dont have to take the final. i highly recommend this teacher, super nice, makes lectures interesting and barely takes attendance.
Prof. Cooper is full of knowledge. All you really have to do is listen with the intent to learn! Super cool person.
Worst class Ive taken. No structure and you wont learn anything either. Tells stories that are almost always off topic and when he is on subject,he reads from his book. On the tests he asks at least 20 stress free questions which have nothing to do with class. We never did well on tests so they were always curved,thats the only way everyone passed.
Very fun, and easy-going teacher. I took him for Psychology and expected to be super hard! But it was really easy and NOT stressful at all. He lets us watch a lot of videos and the the only text required is a handbook (really cheap!). We only had like 3 tests and a great extra-cred opportunity. Totally recommended!
Mr. Cooper is amazing! cares about his students, showing up isn't mandatory but i was sad to miss his class because it was so interesting! Overall, one amazing guy
People say his class is a joke and that it is too easy. But he is a very good professor he has experienced A LOT in psychology in his life time. He is very caring and he is the funniest man you will ever meet! His lectures were amazing and you learn a lot about life in his classroom.
Dr. Cooper is a Professor who is patient, and understanding. If he goes over something and you don't understand, he will give the class an opportunity to ask questions so that he can clarify any misunderstandings. He also sometimes lingers around after class so that students have the opportunity to come up to him for questions. He makes class fun.
He is one of the best professors I have. His stories & analogies go along way. He's funny which helps a great deal. For those that are nervous test takers, he is wonderful in easing that anxiety and helping you as much as he can. His class is very interesting, I never wanted to miss his class, and always looking to fit his classes into my schedule
Cooper is my fav prof. at Meramec. He is there for his students and their success. He helped me with way more than psychology this semester. I am definitely taking his other courses. He is funny, relevant, and makes the class enjoyable. His textbook is cheap and easy to read. You don't really need to take notes, just listen and concentrate.
The guy is smart, funny and understanding. He really knows his stuff, has a lot of experience and obviously loves teaching. I have a lot of respect for him.
He's a goofball but quite lovable. His tests are kind of all over the place and easy if you have basic knowledge of Abnormal Psych. He has a wealth of clinical experience and knowledge and he is always interested in learning new things. His lectures are a little bit scattered but he's very very entertaining.
Terry Cooper is hands down the BEST professor I have ever came across at Meramec Community College. He genuinely cares about each students well being as well as their future, If you have any reason to have him as a professor I HIGHLY recommend choosing him for your instructor, you won't be disappointed
I took terry cooper a few semesters ago, and he was great! He makes YOU want to learn more and stay to ask him millions of questions! Also he knows how to have fun teaching! more teachers need to be like that!!!
Funniest prof. ever!! His exams are even funnier.. If you have test anxiety this is the class for you. Just take his class and don't worry about it!!
Fave prof. ever! He genuinely cares about his students and wants class to be an enriching experience. He doesn't expect perfection and makes his students comfortable. I wish I could take more courses with him but my major doesn't allow it. He is more of a personal friend or colleague than a teacher. You can talk with him about anything.
Dr. Cooper is a great guy. Funny, witty, easy to get along with. His class is easy. Expect to watch a lot of videos and listen to him make corny jokes.
He was an awesome prof. for my first semester of college. Very chill and relaxed. His lectures are intriguing and if you pay attention and write some notes you'll do well on tests. He also gives out study guides for tests and if very friendly and extremely funny. He also likes to discuss topics and give students chances to voice their opinion.
This class was probably the easiest I've ever taken. Terry is one of the funniest teachers and will have you laughing. His tests are a joke. I rarely showed to class and still passed with flying colors. His a bit disorganized but he's very empathetic. Prepare to laugh.
If you're looking for an easy. If you're genuinely seeking to learn, refrain from doing so. Highly frustrated. He rambles about himself all class, starts lecturing, looks at clock, says '15 minutes left already' then says next class we'll ___ Guess what? Next class we don't. He also refuses to use blackboard which is unprofessional. I skip class.
Cooper is a great guy. He lectures the whole class period but his lectures are always interesting and funny. He is quite disorganized and goes off topic a lot but it doesn't bother me, his class was engaging and something to look forward to. His textbook is also only $10 in the bookstore. I liked him so much I took him twice.
The best professor I ever had. Laid back, very knowledgeable, funny, great personality. You won't regret taking his class.
This was definitely the easiest and funnest class I've taken so far! Professor Cooper is very nice and good at what he does. I can tell that he genuinely cares about his students. He ordered 20 boxes of pizza for my class this semester and it was awesome! His lectures are the best because he actually talks to you and talks about his experiences!
TAKE A CLASS WITH COOPER IF YOU WANT AN EASY A! He is no doubt a great professor. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about psych. The only downside is that I don't really feel like I LEARNED anything, and yet I got a 100%. It was THAT easy.
I took Mr. Cooper for general Psych. Easy class, no reading, no homework, no quizzes. Mr. Cooper is a great guy and tells a lot of stories and jokes to keep you interested. I HIGHLY recommend this guy!
Mr. Cooper is the best damn thing that ever happened to me. The amount of insight and the amount of enlightenment that he has provided me has revolutionized the way that I interpret the elegance and the glory that is life. He
Very funny guy, enjoys getting music suggestions from students and he is very easy to talk to and get along with. Very little work required to pass, just read and pay attention in class and you're good, he'll even go over what's going to be on the test with you so you know what to look for in your book when you study.
Cooper was very lenient. He gave 2 tests that were kind of hard, but if you studied well you will pass, even at that, when going over the test as a class he would give percentage points back for the test. I went from 76% to an 84%. The only thing was his tests were a little messy. Also, he was late often, but he was the best professor!
Dr. Cooper lectures are funny, usually filled with "You Tube" videos and lots of laughs. You can relate to his discussions and always provides time for Q&A. His tests are great, I believe they are 50-ish questions, all multiple choice and at least 15 are easy points "Who played Jack in Titanic" type of questions.
Coop's ability comes down to personality. I came here to learn, not hear about his life in incoherent ramblings, relatable to the study or not. Maybe 10 classes were structured with the material. Coop is an interesting, passionate guy, but I'm not paying to teach myself amidst constant distractions, even on the test. If you don't mind; go for it!
Dr. Cooper is someone I have a lot of respect for. He is willing to see things from the students' perspective and adapt his lessons to the learning styles of his students. They tests were fairly easy, but we really learned the material. His study sessions were very helpful, and he was always there after class to discuss issues.
He's an amazing teacher I've already signed up to take 2 more of his classes. I was an easy A all you have to do is show up for class the first couple of weeks and then come for the test days. His lectures are really intresting and he's a really nice funny guy. He only has 3 tests and one of them is optional. But his test are super easy.
Wonderful person. He makes class fun and encourages critical thinking. Lots of you tubes, very interesting he want every one to succeed
This class is a joke if you want to study psychology. YouTube & life anecdotes. Two test & an optional final paper. Super disorganized. Not my cup of tea but if you only care about getting an A, take his class. If you want structure & enlightenment, hard pass.
Terry Cooper is smart, very funny, and his lectures are actually fun to sit through. I took General Psychology as a summer course, & class consisted of watching interesting videos, telling personal stories regarding to certain topics, and class discussion. Even though it was an easy A, I learned a lot about psychology and had fun.
I loved taking his class! There were two or three tests and a final, which were all very easy because it was based off the study guide/notebook you buy from the school store. His lectures were fun to listen to and he would often have the class watch YouTube videos when he wasn't lecturing. Overall it was a fun and easy class to take.
I'm sad to announce that Dr. Terry Cooper no longer teaches at STLCC Meramec. What was once his office for many years is not anymore, and he's not listed in the fall classes. I will say that while he was teaching, he was a great mentor, and friend who looked after his students and wanted them to succeed. I wish him the best. Wherever he may be.
