Comment:
While his teaching style was definitely unique, he has a complete disregard for students' feedback on his methods of teaching, and he is extremely disrespectful to students.

Cooper's class difficult, but he really made you think about what you were learning. You really appreciate his teaching in second year (see: the new TA who's teaching HR/Ethics) This man really knows what he's talking about. LOVED HIM.

I loved Cooper, he made you think critically about what you've read and apply it to real life situations. You won't enjoy him if you do not do your readings before class or enjoy participating (he forces you to...) but otherwise the content and discussion is excellent! Case assignment a little unfair but exams were fair. He's also hilarious!

Comment:
Among the worst profs I've had: arrogant, difficult, rude, unapproachable. Often humiliates students in lecture. Any opinions other than his own, narrow thoughts are degraded. He only has reasonable USAT scores because those who dislike him stop coming to class (and thus dont do the USATs). Single positive aspect is the interesting course content.

Comment:
You've gotta be ready for this guy. If you're not a complete baby it's easier. For example, the second day he grilled me for about 5 minutes in front of the class, and about two months later he made a rather shocking comment that may make some students uncomfortable. Know that he's a good guy, and you'll do fine. HE CAN SMELL FEAR.

Comment:
I liked the fact that he took the time to learn everyone's name but in saying that, he will call on you. As long as you keep up with the readings, are always prepared, and always have an answer ("I don't know" will not do) you'll be fine. Read the preset slides including "reading mindfully". They'll help prepare you for class and the midterm/final.

You'll either LOVE him or HATE him. I LOVED his class. He's very good at helping you think outside the box and at making you realize there's more out there than money (which are two things we can totally miss in our other commerce courses). If you do the readings and don't mind being picked on, you'll realize he's a great guy! One of my FAV profs

DO YOUR READINGS. You will get dumped on if you don't. Strange sense of humour, but great man on the inside. Little commerce students should be REALLY HAPPY to have a prof like Bill - - suck it up, work hard, and you'll learn a lot.

Anyone as arrogant as the 1st year commerce student below deserves to be eaten for lunch by Cooper! This is the best prof at QSB! And if you think you are a "bright commerce student" too smart for this class, Cooper will put you in your place quickly! Go to class prepared and be ready to learn something rather than thinking you know it all already!

Excellent professor... Nothing else compares to his very unique and perplexingly effective style. A very engaging prof and an awesome course; though not everyone sees it that way, you either love him or you'll dread the classes...

Horrible class... no wonder considering he is a philosophy major taking out his under-achieving anger on bright commerce students.

Professor Cooper is one of my idols. He's smart, funny and makes pretentious first-year business students like myself squirm. Good for him!

Awesome teacher. Do the readings. It's the only way to a) survive class (his cold calls) and b) pass the exams. Very entertaining class. He is a facinating man, and is very approachable and personable. He is passionate and loves what he does - a rarity.

Don't trust the drivel on this site, go and look at his USAT scores. He's average, thats all. (Gee, I wonder where all those 5's might be coming from Dr. Cooper?)
