Dr. Cooper was so hilarious and made Psychology fun. This was the class everyone was excited to go to. He connects to the students in a way that makes them apply concepts to their real life. This class gave me a whole new perspective on our world. The tests aren't that difficult, study the powerpoints very well and keep up with research points.
Dr. Cooper is one of the best professors Ive had! No midterm or final just five exams and drops the lowest one. Attendance is a must because his exmas are 50% based on lectures. He makes you work for the grade but if you go to class take notes and read what you're supposed to, you can get an A. His class is hilarious, you wont want to miss anyways!
3 tags are not enough for Dr. Cooper. By far the best professor in the psychology department and the best professor at UTEP. Show up to class and participate, and you won't even have to study for the exams because the information just sticks. He is amazing and a MUST take!
He is hilarious and makes his lectures interesting. His test are a little difficult if you don't read the chapters required and go over the Power Points. He gives several easy quizzes and he gives 2 attempts. He also requires 8 research hours for psychology. Overall it was a good class to take.
Dr. Cooper is the funniest guys I have ever met! Read the book, MAKE FLASHCARDS for your exams because they really do help, do your quizzes, show up to class, and keep up with your research credit hours! He is hilarious so you will not want to miss his class! Best college professor ever!!!
AMAZING CLASS!!! He is funny, knows his material and engages his students in a cool manner. His tests are not difficult, just read the book. I am not a psychology major, but I definitely found a great interest in psychology because of his class. Truly amazing. I would take it again. This made class made Tuesdays and Thursdays the best.
AWESOME class! Dr. Cooper is caring and hilarious, you don't want to miss his class! Attendance is part of the grade and make sure you keep up with the research hours, which are also extra credit. You HAVE to read the book for the exams.
Dr. Cooper is great, he gives awsome lectures. He takes the time to remember names and cares about the feedback given. Great presenters in his class. 3 tests overall in this course that makes it a bit hard if you slack in the first exam like me but he is great. I recomend this course.
Dr. Cooper is an absolutely wonderful professor. Thorough and his exams are extremely fair and on everything covered in class. Hilarious and has a great presence and teaching style!
Dr. Cooper is the ideal professor. He was extremely inspirational in everything he taught. He explained the reality of sexuality in such a fine manner. He is certainly not afraid to talk about these subjects that nobody else wants to talk about such as sexual orientation, sexual behavior, and much more. Every psych major should take his class.
Dr. Cooper wants you to understand and not only memorize random stuff for the exam. The class is pretty easy, and he makes everything fun.
He is awesome. His lectures are inspirational. I always walked out of the auditorium with a huge sense of helping and making the world better. As long as you show up and pay attention, you should be good. You have to do quizzes every week, but it doesn't take you more than 10 minutes and they're online, so you can use the book. The exams are easy.
Dr. Cooper is an amazing professor. He interacts with his students to hear their thoughts and feedback. You would leave the class with new knowledge each day. He explains things in a great way.
Dr. Cooper is an amazing professor! Truly enjoyed going to his class, and felt like I learned so much! Weekly online quizzes of 5 questions each, and its open book so they are not hard at all. You have to read the book for his exams (5), but even then they are not hard, just pay attention to class and to his test review the class before.
In all honesty he's an amazing professor, and definitely makes you laugh. In terms of the class, he technically goes over everything on the test, but don't expect to simply get an A by just showing up. I personally did struggle to study for his class, and his tests can be difficult for some people but its overall if you study his tests are simple.
Dr. Cooper is a very kind and inspirational profesor. He always showed up to class ready to give a lecture. What I most liked about his couse was that we always made his lectures and topics relatable to us. He is very understanding also. If you had a problem you could always go up to him and he will help you come up with a solution. 10/10 recommend
Dr. Cooper is an amazing professor and truly makes the class interesting. Attendance is mandatory and you will need the book. To get an A, you need to show up to class, read the book, do the online quizzes (easy), and the research credits. Great class.
Dr. Cooper is a great professor. Theres weekly online quizzes, 5 questions each, and theyre pretty easy. He drops the lowest test grade (including the final). He tries to remember names even in a class of 500 people. He is very caring and an overall outstanding professor.
Professor Cooper was the best most hilarious professor I've ever had. Each lecture was like a stand up comedy show while I learned so much. He has such a great character and makes you want to show up every class. There were weekly quizzes w/ unlimited attempts and he curved exams, easy A. I wish I could take this course again.
He's the best professor at UTEP. Really understanding and makes lectures interesting, you wont even need to check your phone !
great professor, STUDY for his exams or YOU won't pass!
Dr. Cooper was the best! Probably one of my favorite professors at UTEP. Loved his lectures and his stories!
AMAZING PROFESSOR! If you have the chance you MUST take his class. Psychology is not even my major, but he seriously made me re consider making it! His lectures are never ever boring; hes so funny that you wont even notice that youre learning. Also he always tries to remember everyones name, which makes you want to participate in class. Take him
Easiest teacher ever! If you're interested this is class for you, if you're not and this is just for credit, this is also the best class. He sometimes takes attendance, he gives extra points for showing up to class. Read the book, study the powerpoints, and pass the exams. The quizzes are easy as well.
All of his lectures are like if therapy were standup comedy. This is honestly one of the few classes I look forward to every week. The man is just so charasmatic, funny, and caring. It is easy to see through his lectures that he loves his job and his students.
He is very engaging and is an absolute energizer the second the class begins. I never seem to be bored during his lectures.
He was such an amazing professor! His lectures are very entertaining I never catch myself looking at the clock or wanting to check my phone. I also learned so much in his class. He gives weekly quizzes that are easy if you read the chapter. He is not a fan of phones he will call you out in front of everyone if he catches you. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Don't be fooled by his showman persona, he is an incredibly caring and insightful man. He cares a whole lot about making his students feel validated, and he successfully tries to remember your name and face in a crowd of hundreds. He is inspirational, and his insight on therapy is so valuable. Definitely sign up for his class if you have the chance
Amazing professor! He makes his lectures interesting and fun! I'm taking his secondary course even though it isn't needed for my degree plan because I love how he teaches.
Amazing professor! He makes his lectures interesting and fun! I'm taking his secondary course even though it isn't needed for my degree plan because I love how he teaches. 10/10
He is honestly one of the better professors at this university he is very passionate about teaching this class and it shows he makes it very engaging for others and explains the topic easily and in a funny manner too . Just read the PPTs, before the test read the chapter review and you should get easily pass with an A.
I would take this class all over again !!!, he truly made every lecture entertaining yet you learn so much. You can see he truly cares for his students as he tries to remember your name. Im excited to take further advanced psychology classes with him!!!
Take his class
This class assigns weekly quizzes based on the chapters you read (Only 5 easy questions.) He may curve exam grades based on attendance so it helps to be there and not skip at all. He's a very passionate professor and really wants his students to learn, not just for their grade but for their own personal lives.
Show up to his class and he will curve your exams by some points. When study for the exams record him saying the stuff you need to know and go over that stuff he says. the quizzes are easy they are 5 questions and you can take it two times for a high grade. He is funny and was the class I always look forward to.
Professor Cooper is extremely passionate & entertaining. Attending his lectures always felt like a show & he always made them very engaging. He has weekly quizzes & offers endless extra credit points. Very easy A just make sure to study for exams.
Lectures are amazing. Attendance is important. He shares experiences and allows students to ask about his line of work. He's fun, energetic, and a great professor. He's very reachable outside of class. The tests are easy if you read the book. There are weekly quizzes (5 questions) prior to lecture. He cares about his students. Definitely recommend.
My second semester taking Cooper's class, he's just amazing. This course just consisted of four exams, but he offers extra credit, curves every exam, drops the lowest exam (I couldn't attend last semester's final and still passed with an A+). He is hilarious, caring, and truly cares about his students. I would take him every semester if I could!
I hate morning classes, Mr. Cooper made me wake up with excitement towards the lecture I was going to hear every Tuesday´s and Thursday´s at 9:00AM. He is a remarkable character, I enjoyed his class like no other. Quizzes are every week and tests every three or four quizzes. Do study for tests, quizzes are easy. Lazy people fail, easy A.
The funniest professor i've had, gives easy weekly 5 question quizzes , 5 non cumulative exams including the final, research participation and will give you credit if you do more than asked and attendance counts towards your grade so don't skip class. If you do good in all first 4 exams you don't have to to the final.
I loved this teacher. He is really funny and an amazing teacher. There were a lot of tests but just make sure you pay attention in class and study before tests. I loved the stories he told us. Some were funny and some were sad. Either way he was very engaging and I love his class.
This professor is by far my favorite at UTEP. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Copper to anyone. There is 5 exams, and the lowest one gets dropped. Dr. Copper curves every exam by 3 points.
Best professor I have ever had, tests are easy if you read an pay attention in class I recommend going to class you get extra points if you do, lowest test and 2 quizzes dropped. Amazing lectures always the highlight of my week. I recommend doing your SONA credits early so you can get free points!! TAKE HIM
Dr. Cooper is THE BEST. He and his peer leader, Marcos, are the perfect duo. Weekly easy blackboard quizzes. Exams are easy as long as you go through his PPTs. His class is so fun and since it's a big class he curves. I got 186/150 in his class.
He's one of a kind. The class is very easy, but if you pay attention, you will learn.
Dr. Cooper was an amazing professor! He tries to learn every single person's name even in a class of 500. He gives time at the end of class to answer anybody's questions they have on either the lecture or in his clinical studies. He is very funny and can be a little sassy but in a good way!
Dr. Cooper is amazing and his lectures were supper intresting. He has weekly quizes that are from textbook, exams are straight forward, and at the end of each class he allows questions. He tries to remember everyones names, even in a class of 500! he really does care about his students. The only way you'll fail is if you dont listen at all
Uploads lectures with his assistant Marcos, but watching the videos aren't essential to doing well in the class. One quiz and discussion post per week. Exams are proctored but are easy enough to get an A just by reading the chapter summaries and the vocabulary definitions. I do like Dr. Cooper's personality and wish I had him for in-person classes.
Dr. Cooper's class was really easy and interesting. He uploaded weekly videos with his TA. They're not mandatory to watch since the tests were based on the textbook. Although some of the questions on the exams were based on the videos. His lectures were always fun and easy to watch. I wish I was able to take his class again.
Dr. Cooper is a great professer. Each week you do 1 discussion post and 1 quiz he also uploads videos on the chapters that are really interesting. There are 5 exams and the lowest is dropped they use the lockdown browser but they are basically the vocab from each chapter and some stuff from lectures. Great teacher!
Online class was super easy everythings on quizlet. The only annoying thing was the discussion boards, the stupid TA that would grade mine would always give me half points even if I did my best. ANYWAYS I recommend this class he gives EXTRA CREDIT on exams!
Dr. Cooper is a really good professor. Each week there is a discussion board and a quizlet. There are a total of 5 exams and the lowest is dropped. He offers extra-credit. Overall super easy class everything was in the book and his video lectures were short but interesting.
Loved Dr. Cooper's class! He was very understanding over the circumstances of going online in the Fall semester. His class consisted of chapter quizzes and discussions. Make sure to take notes and memorize. Otherwise, everything is well. Really wish I would've take his in person course he seems very energetic and passionate.
Dr. Cooper and Marcos the TA were amazing not only were they super funny, but they were great at explaining the content of the course. Loved this class sooo much because it was easy going and I learned a lot. Would definitely recommend!!!
He gives amazing lectures, he makes you want to learn. I would take another class with him.
Awesome professor. Exams are easy if you attend every class.
Dr. Cooper is an amazing professor. Despite the class being online, the discussions were always interesting. I absolutely loved this class and would recommend everyone to take it with him. The exams were not difficult, just make sure to read the textbook and pay attention to lecture material.
He was a great a professor. All of the quizzes and exam were based on lectures and textbook I would recommend going to class to understand material. 10/10 would take again
He was amazing! I would definitely recommend taking a class with him. I even brought friends to the class and they enjoyed it. 10/10! He was so funny, caring, and open to any ideas. The perfect professor.
Dr.Cooper is such an amazing professor. You can really tell he is interested in what he teaches and cares that you pass. He is phenomenal and hilarious. His tests are pretty simple and come from the textbook. Participate if you want it to help your grade as well, then again I only said something once and still got an A. Very easy class to pass.
By far my favorite professor I've ever had. He's inspirational, hilarious, & gives phenomenal lectures. We didn't have assignments/quizes, he took attendance 5 times the whole semester, we had 4 exams. He has amazing guest speakers as well with profound stories.Cant wait to take another course from him.
Professor Cooper is hilarious, during the lecture he is always making jokes. He is a very caring man and does not tolerate disrespectful people. All of the exams and quizzes are online and you get 2 attempts for the quizzes. The only thing I disliked was the research participation credits other than that it is an extremely easy class.
Loved his lectures, attendance is a grade, drops lowest exam grade, easy quizzes almost every week due before lecture day.
I loved Professor Cooper!! He is so funny and has the most interesting lectures. 5-question quiz every 2 weeks, and 5 exams, lockdown browser. He does ask for 8 SONA research hours. If you try, easy A. Interacts with the class and makes it fun! :)
Very interesting lectures, and he engages with the class a lot. Short quiz due before every chapter's lecture, but they are easy as long as you read. There were five exams including the final and he drops the lowest one which really helped me. Attendance is a part of the grade, but his class is so fun that I always wanted to show up anyway.
If you have the option to have Cooper as your psychology professor, take it! This class has been the most engaging one I've had this semester. Each chapter will have its own quiz online and each exam was in person. The lectures should be fun and easy as long as you have read each chapter.
He is hilarious and super smart, but the exams and attendance are critical. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in psychology.
Dr. Coopers class was super easy all you have to do is read, he give out exam reviews which makes it more easy fr you to comprehend for future exams!
Don't take this professor again.
Cooper's lectures were engaging and clear. The exams and quizzes were manageable with light studying and a thorough reading of the chapters. I would gladly take his class again.
Dr. Cooper is the best professor I have ever had. His lectures were very entertaining and engaging. He gives excellent examples on topics and helps you understand difficult topics. He does require a little bit of reading, but it is entertaining. Take this professor!
AMAZING TEACHER. His lectures are super intersting and he's so funny. He just grades on attentance and exams. I wouldn't buy the book most information that is on the exam is on the powerpoints. He curves the exams so that helps but the exams are very easy if you go to class and pay attention. Highly reccomend you won't regre it.
Professor Cooper is AMAZING! His lectures are super engaging along with the hilarious storytimes he somehow ties in with what we are learning. He is a very caring individual and understands life happens. Just stick with your attendance, I promise it is worth it!
PSYCH1301 fall semester 24. 5 question quizzes weekly online, exams are in person on paper, 8 required research studies on SONA, very easy and interesting course. Don't wait to do the SONA, the surveys are not always available but they are easy. Gives real examples of patients. I recommend this professor will definitely take him again. 👍
LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Cooper. He is incredibly insightful and hilarious. This class had 500 students and he learned about 40 names and kept the classes open to discussion despite being a lecture. Participation isn't necessary but you learn a great deal of real world lessons. There's not a ton of work just read and you'll be fine.
Dr. Cooper is a great professor. He does care about attendance, and all the exams we took were in person and on paper. The class had around 500 students, and the lectures are just long PowerPoints. If you don't learn well by just listening, it might be tough, but he makes it entertaining.
He such a great teacher, he really cares about his students and can be really funny. Would take him again
Dr. Cooper is an amazing professor! If you're thinking taking into to psych I recommend him, he doesn't give that much work, he's humorous and cares about the class and what he teaches. 100/10 would recommend^^
Dr. Cooper is passionate and engaging, making lectures enjoyable with depth and humor. Exams match what he tells you to study, so no surprises. If you pay attention, read the chapters, and complete quizzes which are open book, you should do very well.
As a psych major, this is my favorite class to take out of the semester. There is work to a point where it's not too much but you are learning overall the lectures are very interesting and informational. He's also caring and funny which makes the class 10 times better.
Professor Cooper was one of the best professors I have ever had, he drops your lowest exam grade and that can include your final if you did well on all other exams during the semester. There is a 5 question homework quiz every week, you also have to participate in research which is very simple and easy if you plan ahead. Super knowledgeable.
Probably one of the best classes I've taken. He makes his class interactive and fun to learn, quizzes are easy to take, and online. 4 major tests, but he gives a series of concepts that will be tested. Research studies are easy to take, but plan ahead.
Listen I never ONCE paid attention during lectures and still managed to get a perfect score on every exam. Dr. Cooper is passionate about what he does and manages to bring humor to lectures yet it is not necessary to pay attention to pass. Just get the textbook, read it, take notes and you'll be fine. All tests are MC and he gives helpful reviews.
I've never gone to lecture or bought the book, I just kind of studied off of the PowerPoints and still received an A. Kind of regretted not attending lecture because I've heard he gives good lectures but his class is easy ;)
