Just brilliant. Controversial topics tackled with class, poise, and impartiality. Complex concepts made clear. I was excited every time I walked into the classroom

Awesome professor to have. He's funny and also wants to make the lecture interesting for everyone. He doesn't give a lot of work and it isn't difficult to get an A. Just be aware that he will call on you at random so reading the material before class is seriously recommended.

Comment:

TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM, YOU LITERALLY WILL NOT REGRET IT This man can take the material which can be a bit boring, and make it the most interesting thing in the world. Basically to pass his class, you have to take notes and by that I mean- write down every word he says. He calls on the class randomly which can be slightly intimidating, but oh well.

He's a fantastic lecturer and I would love to take another class with him! His lectures are very well constructed and easy to take notes for. He gets right to the point, but watch out, he will randomly call on you.

Coming in to Drew my first year i was lucky to have this professor for my CSEM course and i got an A. The information that he teaches you will really use it going into the field. I will never get tired of doing those case study papers but they really help you understand the terms. My Rel course in Bio-Med Ethics was another winner and informative.

Amazing prof. Keeps class entertaining and engaging, while remaining incredibly unbiased, which is important for a religion course. Funny, and crystal clear when he explains things. Would absolutely recommend.

This was the hardest course I took this semester but I learned a ton of new things, and retained the knowledge because Professor Cole made classes always very interesting. He is a tough grader,but if you work hard and read for class, you'll be fine! I recommend you take his class!

Awesome professor. I wasn't sure about the class before I took it, but it ended up being a ton of fun. It was a night class and those can be killers but he kept me awake and made it interesting. He'll hear any point of view, but will correct you if you're in the wrong direction. I'd definitely take another class with him.

Comment:

I had Professor Cole for several classes at Drew. He is hands down one of the best professors I had in college. I took one of his classes for fun and ended up loving ethics I minored in it. He always made class interesting and valued his students opions. I highly recommend taking a class with him before you graduate from Drew. You won't regret it!

Professor Cole is easily my favorite professor at Drew. He makes the topic matter very interesting and is intensely amusing. Take a class with Prof. Cole, even if just to fulfill a breadth requirement. You won't regret it.

Comment:

He's funny, clear, and has a slight Colonel Sanders accent. I only did the readings when papers were due and I got an A. Don't read the assigned readings. Take good notes and study them (he gives great review sheets), that's what I did.

Easy papers, mildly easy tests. Remember to do all the reading, and be warned, there is a LOT. he's a pretty interesting guy though, and can be really funny.... likes listing things a bit too much...

Comment:

Easily my favorite Prof., and I'm a physics major. He knows everything. Tests are easy if you pay attention in class, which with Cole is never a problem. Very funny guy. Never gives his opinion. One of few professors at Drew who will challenge students to actually support their position, no matter which side they are on. Did I mention he's funny?

Dr. Cole is amazing. I was always happy to attend class because class was unpredictable. He made us laugh, encouraged amazing discussion, and was knowledgable when asked a variety of questions. He made clear expectations from the beginning of the course, and was VERY willing to work with students.

As a first-year seminar teacher he was excellent in working with the students. His lectures are stimulating and he's so interesting to listen to. Two thumbs up for Professor Cole--he makes me wish I was more interested in religion classes.
