Comment:
It was an interesting class, and for the most part, I found his lectures entertaining. However, he rarely has outlines for his lectures and due to this, he tends to bounce around topics very quickly and can be hard to follow. This makes notetaking in his class pretty hard. Read the books for the essays and try to incorporate info from the lecture

Comment:
Professor Cole is an excellent lecturer and a genuine scholar in the field of U.S. foreign policy. His class was captivating and engaging, although it involved little discussion opportunities. Somewhat difficult grader. Very quirky guy too - he often digresses on strange albeit amusing tangents during lectures that often evoke laughter from class.

Comment:
Are you people prior to 06 talking about the right guy? I've only had him for 3 classes and I think he's AWESOME! I stay glued to my seat all class, I never dose off or daydream, and I feel MORE than comfortable in a classroom setting with him. He's so enthusiastic and witty... I'm so confused by the negative comments of the past.

Comment:
Prof. Cole is the man. I have to address all these comments calling him condescending and arrogant---you people are out of your tree. i think you're alittle too senstive people. i never got that vibe. in fact, I'm using Prof Cole for my law school letter of recommendation. cole is top notch.

Comment:
This class was definitely enjoyable. Prof Cole is so enthusiastic about the topics, and he is totally open for discussions in the class at any time. The grades were based on essays which were long, but not difficult to write. Go to class and do some of the readings and it's a breeze.

Apparently I missed something-my experiences in prof. cole's class have been very good. his lectures are interesting, the papers arent tough (lengthy though) provided you go to class and do the reading, and he does not seem to be arrogant at all. he has on several occasions presented viewpoints contrary to his own for our consideration. recommended

Comment:
His ego and condesceding attitude made class difficult. He has no respect for any opinions except his own. The only thing I learned from this class was that I would get further in life by showing some humility. Professor Cole has no business teaching at a public institution.

Comment:
This professor is knowledgeable but downright arrogant. How sad that in order to teach us he feels he must put us "in our place". Perhaps he will wake up one day and realize that we are the leaders of tomorrow.

His level of education does not afford him an excuse for his arrogance. Putting people down is not an effective form of motivation and good professors those who inspire and motivate.

A more pompous individual I have yet to see on this campus. He should save face and keep his snide comments and jokes to himself. I learned more just reading the text and ignoring his foolishness in class.

I am a UMaine alumni, and I do have a PHD. I was a student of Professor Coles during his first year and I did not feel as though his attitude was conducive to promoting an effective learning environment.

Hes smart, and he will help you if you need it. However, he can be cocky and downright annoying sometimes. But I wouldnt let it deter you from taking the class.
