Comment:

Great introduction to economic history, which despite its name is neither like history and economics. Materials can be heavy, dull, and difficult but Cohen invests in a lot of time and efforts to clarify the materials in class. He always assumes the students have little economic background. A very nice guy during office hour as well!!

Comment:

The subject matter was sometimes dull and abstruse, but Prof Cohen did a great job of teaching it. He explained all the key concepts very clearly and made the material pretty interesting too. Always gave good answers to students' questions. He was knowledgeable and a really nice guy too!

Comment:

Cohen is one of the nicest professors on campus. While he certainly is bumbling, and his jokes are pretty bad, his lectures are quite interesting, and make sense. Don't take eco342 with Moggridge - you won't know what he's saying.

Comment:

The best word to describe Cohen is "bumbling"... but in a good way. He knows what he's talking about, and he loves the material. Awkward at times, it requires patience to fully benefit from him. He likes saying "a dog's breakfast", but
