im taking him in summer session rt now. and im very stressed out. he requires a lot of work, and its not going to be easy. now imagine in 12 week session? He is clear in his lectures & he has us watch a lot of films with film write up's.

He is a great leture, but you must also do the readings if you want to pass his class. I learned a lot from him, however he is a nit absent minded at times.

Preety good professor in my opinion.

I really respected him. However, I wouldn't recommend him if you are taking the class strictly as a course requirement. He is not for those who don't love history.

Very knowledgeable.

Good professor, hard at the same time. gives stacks of homework,classwork, and readings. Be prepared to spend lots of money on all his books, I had to buy 5 of them. Nonetheless, you'll learn lots of interesting things!

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST AND MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. HE IS VERY PASSIONATE AND ENTHUASTIC ABOUT HIS LESSONS AND IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO LIKES HISTORY OR IS PURSUING A DEGREE IN HISTORY, DR COOGAN IS THE MAN FOR YOU. HE GIVES LOADS OF HOMEWORK AND YOU HAVE TO BUY MANY BOOKS BUT HES GREAT.

Must take his class if you like history. Don't take his class if you don't like reading. A lot of work, but it pays off. And although he gives a lot of homework, that's your chance to improve your grade. He uses a lot of books, but they're cheap. Definetely very knowledgeable. If you want to learn about this country he's your guy...

I find professor coogan to be very inspiring

not a hard teacher real cool not strict and real nice his class is not that hard to pass

He is a cool relaxing teacher... he does not have favorites and does not have attitude, he just does his job and grades easy... but he does give alot of reading to do and alot of h.w. at times... just stay on top of your work and study for the test and you should do just fine.

Great professor and very knowledgable and loves and cares about his job and a good guy

Great teacher. very cool and laid back and understands what students go through. tests are fairly easy and as long as you do the homework youll be fine. highly recommend this prof. has a vast knowledge of history and sociology and conveys it in a highly comprehensive manner.

he is a great man, very helpful and easy going.

I took Dr. Coogan for the history of New York City. I really found him amazing and I don't know why people like to complain how hard he is. If you enjoy history and alot of reading he is not a problem. Plus alot of reading your in college what are you complaining about. If anybody were to talk bad about Coogan then they don't belong in College

I'd him for the History of NYC clas. on the 1st day, it seemed like he is horrible and gives a lot to do. but then we didnt care to do and he neither cared much.1 was in clas and otehr Exams were take home & 2 easy papers to do. we enjoyed ..take him if u want good grade. very easy and helpful.he is always prepared & has passion to teach..TAKE HIM!

He is the best teacher laguardia has to offer !!!

Prof.Coogan is very passionate about teaching, and making sure student learn and understand he had great insight.

Prof.Coogan is very insightful and knowledgable you walk out of his class with a wealth of knowledge. He posseses great knowledge and experience. Excellent, he is a Gem.

HE PROVIDES YOU WITH A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND INSIGHTS,HE IS ALSO GIFTED, ACCOMPLISHED AND PASSIONATE ABOUT TEACHING. EXTREMELY HELPFUL TO HIS STUDENT.HE IS AMONG THE BRIGHTEST AT LAGUARDIA.YOU WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY CLASS HE TEACHES.

he's boring, i try to stay focus but something about the tone of his voice makes everyone in class put their head down. however, he does teach pretty well. he knows his material from front to back. recommended to take him if you are really into history.

HE IS GREAT TEACHER, TAKE HIM. HE GIVES A LOT OF HOMEWORK BUT IF YOU DO YOUR WORK, FILMS, DISCUSSIONS, AND DOCUMENTS. YOU SHOULD GET AN "A". I DONT LIKE HISTORY BUT HE MAKES IT INTERESTING. I RECOMMEND HIS CLASS TO ANYONE.

Get deep into history and passionate lectures with Dr. Coogan. Helpful, insightful, and fun. Recommended!!

very helpful and passionate....don't take this history class as an "easy class" because it is a lot of work....if you are into history he is probably the best professor you could have...

he is nice and patient but a looooooot of homework!

if u don't like history, don't take his class! He required a lot of work. However, he is good for the people who love and interest in history.

i loved the class and he is a good teacher however dont be fooled it you have him in the short section it's not an easy A he covers everything necessary 5 books were required for the class.

quite possibly the most boring and annoying class ive had so far. the workload is so overwhelming that if you are inclined to take this class, then make sure its your only class. and make sure you keep up with the homework, because once you fall behind even one or two, thats enough to put you in a hole that you probably wont get out of

Dr. Coogan must be kept up with. Learned so much in this class, but definitely take in 12 weeks, on't dare take in short session. A LOT OF READING AND WIRING A LOT. And you must try to keep his deadlines. But, he is extremely fair. GOOD LUCK!!

The work load for this class is heavy and he makes you use the book a lot. But it is interesting and fun. The test is easy specially if it is open book because all you do copied from the book and he will take it. An A+ in this class is a given.

very tough class expect to finish a 600 page custom made class booklet during the semester. gives take home exams, ex: 11 questions and each question has from 2 to 5 subquestions (really up to 55 questions) and each subquestion requires you to read about 40 pages, so thats 200 pages for 11 points. Alot of extra credit but u will have no time to it

Lots of work, but worth it! The professor is very good.

Exellent professor, very fair, a little off sometimes, but cool!! Makes class fun!!

Dr. Coogan is a great Professor, if a student is interested in learning about History I would strongly recommend him. If you're taking his class because of curricular requirements (like me), then you should know that as long as you do the assignment and put your best effort, Dr. Coogan will reward you for it! Excellent Professor, take his class!

Professor Cogan is a great professor. He is a helpful professor. take him because he will teach you lots about history

Professor Coogan very knowledgeable about this subject. He may not be the easiest professor to take and is not someone I would recommend to take during the shorter sessions if you are taking other classes. I do feel like he gives you a real taste of what a 4yr school would be like and is overall very easy to talk. Ifyou're upforachallengetakehim.

Excellent professor!!! Easy to talk to and very flexible with due dates. He is very informative. Do your reading and listen to his lectures He does not spoon-feed you. His reviews might be a day before the exam or the day of the exam just to ease your anxiety. It is your responsibility to do the work. Happy studies.

He is extremely intelligent, and knows A LOT about the History of New York City. He provides you with a wealth of information. He gives a lot of work that includes a large number of handouts, a lot of reading and writing, online work. If you think you'll ease by without doing work your highly mistaken. Great course if your truly interested.

Pay attention in class, do your readings in accordance with the syllabus dates and one shall be fine with the class. i procrastinated like crazy which made the work overwhelming. work load was high in comparison to other courses, but hey, it's college. overall, dr.coogan is highly passionate & a understanding guy. coogan is not for the weak minded

Dr. Coogan is exceedingly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of NYC. He is very understanding and gives plenty of time for make ups. That being said, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! There is a lot of reading and writing involved and playing catch up is beyond overwhelming. This is a great course and he is an amazing teacher, but you cant be lazy.

Actually he is really hard professor. I needed just an easy grade cause i'm bad at history and I don't like it. But with him you gotta work hard! For people who are history major he is great. But not for me. You gotta write a lot of papers. I'm so happy I'm done with his class.But I did my best and got A!

he is a great professor just like to speak alot about history. he can go one but i understand because that is his passion ) knows a lot about history just asks for too much textbooks ....(4 to be exact) in overall, gives extra credit, take home assignments and fair grader p.s gives a second chance so you can do a better job. enjoy.

He is very passionate about what he teaches which is probably why his lectures were always super long. It's a lot of writing, especially little essays on Blackboard and he gives a ton of extra credit. Get ready for films. His tests have way too many parts but overall I learned a lot about technology and how to write better from his lectures.

Get ready to work! This professor right here makes you work until your hands fall off. He is very educated in history. He gives A LOT of extra credit.

Timothy Coogan is a very great teacher. He is hard on the students but it is a great opportunity to be in his class because he really knows his stuff. Despite the fact that he gives a lot of homework and readings, he is very lenient. He gives many extra credit assignments that help to boost your grade if you feel that you are behind. :)

I had the best experience on taking his class Very knowledgeable and yes, expect a lot reading but we are in college what do you expect to have it easy well sometimes you cannot. I am ending my college years having the best experience taking his class. Expect a lot of reading, participate on his class and take the best.

I took this class during Fall 2, only recommend it if you know you will be on top of your work. Professor Coogan is very passionate about his class. There is a lot of reading but this class gets your feet wet because it is as close to a regular class in a senior college! He is actually willing to work with you and gives extra credit!

Mixed feelings, he gave way too much homework for students that work and go to school full time. He's a tough grader on exams and papers. But he did offer enough extra credit for people to pass.

He is a great professor, he peaked my interest in history, you will learn something and be able to apply it to your other classes. His exams and homework are pretty straight forward. He is caring and explains everything because sometimes he can be a little disorganized. He gives lots of extra credit, and plays movies. Prioritize and time manage!

I took Professor Coogan back in 2014. He is a great professor and knows his stuff about technology and science, but his lectures are LONG. Although the essays are short, like around 250-350 words, there are A LOT of them. Textbook is a manual that was only $20. Good class and good professor, just get ready to write. Tests are very short and easy.

At the beginning it was hard because of the syllabus but we talked through it in class and we are able to understand more. Overall, he was a pretty great professor he may be disorganized but he had really good lectures prepared. He was also very understanding and gave enough time to give work in also he accepted homework before the semester end.

overall, great professor. Tons of HW from various books and class time is spent listening to him talk about the topic of the day.

He's an excellent proffessor. You must complete the homework on time cause he is very generous to give no due date but if you leave it last minute I'm telling you-you're probably gonna spend days doing them all. He also has discussion assignments on the blackboard. Read the Textbook/PDF's by chapters so that you can be prepared on his tests.

Not a hard class, lots of homework but professor Coogan is fair with grading.

He is a little old school and does not read off any type of powerpoints which is why some may feel lost in the class. But honestly, if you hand in all homework and do okay on the tests you'll definitely pass. He is also very lenient when it comes to handing in work.

Coogan is very passionate when it comes to history, he does give a lot of reading assignments as homework but he also allows you hand in homework when you can. He shows films to help students make connections with what he has taught in class and most of his quiz/exams are open book. he's also super sweet

Professor Coogan is one of the best professors Ive ever had. He always gives feedback and hes there to help when you need him. He thoroughly explains topics and keeps it interesting by bringing in articles and even original songs from certain time periods. Very interesting class. Professor if you ever see this youre great.

Professor Coogan is caring with online classes because of the pandemic, he encouraged the students to at least pass the class for the credit we had the option to only accept the credit so it won't affect our GPA. ill be honest I put less into mind in these classes and concentrated in my science major class. but he gave me the opportunity to pass.

Prof. Coogan was so sweet, no exams but he assigned about 100 homework, however they did not need to all be completed in order to get an A. He also often read of his slideshows without showing us but we didn't need to know that exact information, only what was in the chapters of that day's assignment. Overall, easy A class. Definitely take him!!!

Although Coogan is very unorganized on blackboard, he is lenient. He made all assignments due at the end of the semester, he provided the texts needed, and he didn't even care about accuracy, (I submitted the same assignment for different homeworks and he did not notice). Easy A class for sure.

Easy course as long as you keep up with the work. No exams and a ton of homework with short open ended questions. Do not slack off because the work will add up quickly. Easy A

Very good Professor.

Easy A very kind man.

He is passionate about his work, He gives great feedback. You do get to pick and choose with assignments and there are no due dates, but you must still try to keep up with the work. He himself is not too strict with the students tardiness, if by a few minutes lates. Always accessible through email, a very nice understanding Professor!

I loved this professor! Yes, his blackboard is a mess (don't panic!!!) and he's not too savvy in the technology department, but he basically allows you to a la carte the assignments (not all) you want to complete to reach the 500 points required for an A. Also, no real due dates and he's pretty generous with extra credit points for each assignment.

I cant believe how this professor doesn't have a 5 for perfect because he was truly one of the best teachers I ever had. Straight forward and work is easy and simple. I would take this professor again and again. Thank you prof Coogan!

This professor is a bit disorganized, but the workload is manageable. Just stay on top of the assignments, and Unstuck study can be a helpful study tool. Overall, an easy A if you put in the effort.
