Comment:
I took this prof my first year and he made my minor of English seem worthwhile. He is a very good prof and knows what he is talking about but can sometimes get moody and his marking is the most difficult I have ever seen out of all my teachers in any school. I got a paper back and it was more red than black. But he is deep + you cant ignoreexperien

Comment:
An extremely helpful prof outside of class; inside class, Prof. Cooley expects you to come ready and prepared with insight. The material can get dry at times, but you can feel his enthusiasm and respect for the overall material. How well you do depends how hard you work; that being said, he is usually lenient on due dates for good reason.

Really nice guy. Really knows his Canadian literature. gets really excited when students make good points in class. Not too tough of a marker. Nice prof, but sometimes lectures get a little boring and some of the material he chooses is dry

Comment:
A great prof, extremely knowledgeable in Canadian poetry, literature and criticism. Extremely helpful and a pretty funny guy if you give him a chance. A fair marker; not easy, but not vindictive the way some of these reviews seem to think he is - he knows if you aren't putting hard work into something and you're grades will reflect this

cooley's a good guy, reminds me of a cartoon character. it's a pretty boring class, but it doesn't require alot of work. just show up to class and take notes, and ask questions during class.

This guy is amazing, he loves his job and inspires his students. Why do people complain about their marks so much, you get what you put into this class, as usual, crap doesn't get an A+. If you're not a "writer" put the time in, you will become one. Cooley gave great feedback and even lets you rewrite an essay. One of the best Prof's I've had.

Comment:
Enter at your own risk, he is terribly partial to certain students. If you write a paper on an author he is passionate about, you'll only get a good grade if he agrees with your opinion, otherwise you're screwed for the rest of the course.

Comment:
Very enthusiastic and caring prof. He was evidently well prepared and knowledgable about his subject area. Fair marker, and always provided positive comments as well as constructive critisism. It's so refreshing to finally have a prof who puts some time and obvious effort into grading! Thank you Dr Cooley for an amazing class.

Comment:
Terribly one sided. I wrote a well-organized, well thought out paper and still got a bad mark. I've never got a mark lower than a B+ before I took his class. He said my arguments were good, but graded them harshly because he didn't agree with them. He's also a little on the strange side.

Brilliant Man. Wonderful Prof. Very approachable. I've never had a prof write more on my papers. Hard Marker? Not excessively so. YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT IN, STUPID. Crappy effort=crappy mark. If you're too insecure to realize that, you shouldn't be in university.

If you like to hear about nothing but poetry, take this class. Even if that does interest, don't expect a very good mark. Offers no feedback.

The worst teacher I've ever had. He sees nothing but his own point of view. He doesn't explain what he wants or why he gives the grades he does. Very evasive when faced with conflict.

Obsessed with sex. Incredibly boring. Extremely full of himself. A very hard marker. He didn't give helpful responses in his evaluations of my essays. More like a mediator than a teacher.
