Comment:
I love Cohen because he is so straight forward. He seriously from day one said know the text book and you'll be fine. This class is a ton of reading but if you outline the chapters and go over it, it's totally do-able. Don't buy the book study guide though because they questions in there aren't the ones on the test.

Comment:
Whoever said the test questions have nothing to do with lectures is WRONG and clearly didn't go to class. It is only 2-5 questions out of 65 per exam, but that could make or break you. Easy to pay attention to. The textbook is definitely a necessity. Your grade comes strictly from the four exams (none are cumulative) and 6 points extra credit.

Comment:
One of the better profs i've had.I printed the lectures off sakai and brought them to class to take notes on. You have to read the textbook to do well on the exam, but it's an easy read. Really straight forward book. Mostly definitions on exams.6 test points extra credit, can't complain.He's chill.

Comment:
Great guy, good speaker and not hard to listen to or understand. The thing is that class is pointless because you can read it right off his powerpoints and class is USELESS, because the tests have nothing to do with class. If you don't read the textbook chapters at least twice you won't do well at ALL on tests. NO test questions are from class

Comment:
Lectures are right off his powerpoints, which are all on Sakai so class attendance isn't necessary. There's 4 multiple choice exams in total but not all the exam material is covered in his powerpoints. The exams weren't easy but they weren't horrible as long as you read the chapters and knew what was on his slides.

Cohen's powerpoint slides do not make sense, and he doesn't teach what is going to be on the test. The subject is easy, but he sucks at preparing you for exams. I would recommend taking someone else.

He is not too hard and you don't have to attend class. But, you definitely have to read all of the chapters for the test because many of the questions on the test are in the book and are not mentioned in class. There is an book that outlines every chapter which is really helpful. He offers one extra credit assignment.

Great professor! You can tell he has been doing this for a while. All of the classes were well organized with all ppt's available on sakai. Multiple choice tests, not too hard. Just do the reading and ask questions. Easy B/A class

HONORS: It is really important to attend class and agressively know the textbook to do well on tests. Your is made of 4 noncumulative tests and 2 short papers. Cohen is very nice and makes the lectures interactive. I recommend him.

Comment:
I took this class online over the summer, and it is easily the worst class I have ever taken at UD. The text book was incredibly boring and failed to adequately explain the material. Further, the tests, none of which Cohen created himself, included material that I was not told would be on them. I would thoroughly NOT recommend this class

Very tough class, but I learned a lot. As long as you read and aren't afraid to ask for his help, you'll do fine. I got a lot out of it, even though I just needed the Group C credit.

Cohen is awesome. He is a really great professor and is always willing to help you out if you don't get something. Some of his material on his exams isn't covered in class, so you need to read the book, but he tells you that and is very fair with grading. Overall, great professor.

I took honors section of this class and it was overall an okay class. Reading the textbook was necessary for tests but that should get you a decent grade. Overall a pretty easy class.

I took the online section over the summer. His lectures are very clear and he makes concepts easy to understand. Only downside was the actual exams themselves - all essays. With so much information to take in at once it made studying the right material difficult. BUT, if you contact him/go to his office hours he's an amazing help.

no projects just 4 tests and an extra credit paper. you can pull off at least a C by studying night before. lectures weren't necessary to go to bc he followed the power points pretty closely which are available online.

Some of the questions come straight from the book, and others come straight from his notes as well. Attending his lectures help, but don't get upset if you miss a class. The material and his exams aren't hard at all, and he also offers extra credit!

Comment:
This class is so hard, I didn't attend many classes since his slides barely related to the material. So mch reading, that you have to read pretty much the entire book throughout the semester, requires countless amounts of studying, not the best class I've taken.
