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!

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. 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.

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.

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 ;)
