Comment:

This person is so arrogant! He treats people around him as he's superior or something. He tends to screw the class on the midterms just to show them that he can do it. Thermo is not a hard class, but he wants to make it look terrible. He's never smiling unless he sees people suffering in his exams. He also has favorites! The final was pretty easy.

Comment:

Terrible. Deliberately screws the class just to make a point that he doesn't like the ACE tutorials. Other remarks say that at least his midterms are predictable...that was true until now where he decided to not ask a relevant question. Terrible.

Comment:

Surprisingly, he is a nice guy in his office when he is not busy. His marking tends to be unfair at times though, so just accept your grade as is. I love how he stops the class 2 listen 2 your question! Make sure you have done MATH 262 it could be VERY helpful to understand some concepts (partial derivatives). Don't get caught talking in his class!

Comment:

Seems mean at first, and his awful handwriting you'll eventually learn to decipher easily. Each midterm really only has 2 or so different types of questions, so the questions asked aren't really that suprising, and are generally very similar to previous years. This class is more interesting and easier than most people make it out to be. Cooper>Hill

Comment:

this is the most helpful teacher you will ever have. raise your hand in class and he will stop his lecture for you, go to his office and he will spend as much time as you need. there is alot of material to cover that cant be made interesting, so dont blame it on him. great prof.

Comment:

Cooper seems like a horrible professor/person at first especially after the first midterm. The key is not to let that influence you. He's actually quite nice when you show genuine effort and the final is very easy. It's not how much you study but how much you understand. Do the coursepack to prepare

Comment:

He comes off rather mean at first, but it takes a while to get used to him. The fact of the matter is, there's a lot of material to cover and it isn't easy. Makes sarcastic comments a lot, so at least you get to laugh in his class (unlike in Hill's class).

Comment:

This professor is the worst ever. A disaster on mankind. He enjoys making this course as hard as possible. He lacks explanation skills, and as a real jerk when it comes to asking question. Although they are the only way to study 4 the course, but his notes suck.He gives no examples at all! TA's r gd

Much better than Hill... much better. Hard course but doable if you put in the time and effort. In the end of the course you really learned something.

get on his good side EARLY by asking relevant questions and trying to answer his questions from day1. he definately plays favourites and if you get on his good side he won't make fun of you for asking dumb questions.

better than Hill but that doesn't say much. He's nice but his tests are hard and it seems like he's been teaching it for so long that he doens't even care about it much.
