Comment:
Professor Cook was an amazing professor. He was given a tall task with two big obstacles in my semester: COVID shutdown, and he was thrown into a class he didn't teach in the first half. He covered all the material he could very effectively and gave everyone a fair shot with as many assignments as possible. His lectures were funny and great!

If it wasnt only offered at 8 A.M. I would have loved this class. Thats the only negative about this class. Dr. Cook is funny and knows what hes talking about. He gives you lists of terms to study for tests.

There is a decent amount of notes, but his tests are straight from the notes and the responses are super easy and will boost your grade. He is caring and funny

I loved this class so much! Dr. Cook is a great professor, and he makes the material fun. You have about one paragraph you have to turn in every other week as well as around 4 tests. The tests aren't too bad, but the T/F is kind of tricky. We got up to 7 absences. As long as you show up and take good notes, you'll be fine!

This is a HARD Theatre class, so make sure you take excellent notes and even though he gives you a lot of days you can miss class, don't use them unless you absolutely have to. Begin to study for tests weeks ahead of time.

Really nice guy, interesting class, long lectures, and he can be borderline stereotypical on some things which is really off-putting. That's the easiest way to find out who the immature students in class are. Otherwise, no big deal.

This class was good. The lectures always seem straightforward, but even at my most-prepared the best I could do on the test was a low A. Basically, you just have to study ALL of the material he gives you on Canvas and in class to make an A on the test. He gives you a lot of chances to make a better grade, though.

I had Professor Cook for Theatre 111 & I loved it! I wasn't sure about the class but he made it very interesting and exciting . He provided options so we did not have to take the final. I would highly recommend this professor.

Don't take the class at 8 AM, because he's very energetic and loud, but any other time of the day I'm sure it's appreciated. (ha). He's funny and very clear about what he wants. Easy A if you do the work and study for the tests. Take notes.

Doug is the man. His lectures are weird and hilarious, just like him. He jumps on the table and screams and uses terrible sound effects on the computer throughout. Seriously. Take him.

Comment:
His powerpoints are very boring. He puts true and false trick questions on the tests, so pay very close attention. You are required to see at least one play during the semester, and write an essay over very specific details. The critical responses towards the end of the semester are confusing to understand, watch the videos if you're confused.

For a theater class, he really made it harder than what it had to be. He assigned too many assignments to do everyday and forced everyone to buy tickets to his boring plays for a grade.

Attendance is mandatory and you can't have your computer in class, not even to take notes.. which is ridiculous. Get with it Doug! But he is a fun and easy teacher. He uses lectures/powerpoints and you watch a play. No book required.. easy A. Very helpful and nice guy!

Just read the slides on blackboard and look over the book and you'll be fine. There's really no reason to go to lecture except that he takes attendance. =[ He pretty much just reads the slides. I take other homework to work on during this class. He's funny though, so that's a plus.

He likes to hear himself talk. Sometimes he makes rude jokes. His lecture class sucks, but he's a great set and lighting designer... and he knows it.
