Comment:

Public speaking/ presentation type of work. He is a reasonable man and will help you if you struggle with any of the assignments. I am glad I took this class and not a different 100W which would have required more writing. If you do not like public speaking, take a different 100W if you prefer more writing, He was relatively easy. He's cool. A

Read the book and show up for the midterms and you'll do fine. And read over the powerpoint slides too.

Comment:

Had hard time following up in class. Nice professor though. Midterms not too easy nor too hard (m/c and matching). Study PPT and read chapters. Requires everyone to write in journals (part of behavior paper). Stresses a lot about working in teams. Overall = somewhat effective. Great way to know more about your classmates though.

Comment:

This class is by far the easiest I have ever encountered in upper division. The multiple choice exams are a joke; i regretted even studying for them. I came to class only for midterms and still Aced it. He seems to favor the girls over the guys and is a jerk when you ask "What did I miss?" if you were absent. Focus on powerpoints and read text

Comment:

i went to the class a total of 4 times the entire semester and got an A. Basically, his lectures are pointless and they are posted online....the only way to be successful is to basically MEMORIZE the textbook and powerpoints. His exams are all m/c and kind of tricky to make sure you memorize EVERYTHING.

Comment:

Essentially a speech class. 100W is gone now but Cory required almost everyone to speak about something to the class every day. Smart and interesting guy. Very easy homework, tests require that you read the book, he doesn't lecture on anything from the book. You may not enjoy all the presentations he may require for whatever class he teaches now.

Comment:

Mr. Cory is a cool prof. I thought it was going to be the hardest class ever because the guy wrote like 5 books, and is the creator of a new theory that takes into account the human mind and business. It was not hard at all, you just need to read, and the tests are just matching and multiple choice. Oh yeah, and two 1.5 page papers. He's a cool

Class is easy. all you do is presentations mostly. One 3-page term paper on what ever you want. Test are hard because they come from a national test bank and every answer can be succesffuly debated. but overall easy B

Comment:

The class is actually about presenationsssss by the your classmates and u. The exams are quite hard since u may not even need to touch the book at all before the exam and he barely talks about the book. But then, he is generous in grading the presetations and the materials are mainly communication things. An easy B.

Comment:

Dr. Cory's class was the most fun I have had in any class. The class basically involves talking to other people in class and that's it!!! 2 oral presenations, 1 research paper, 1 mid term and 1 final. All really easy. He will not lecture on anything, you have to read the book and learn yourself. Easy A.

Comment:

Very sweet & accomplished old man. Easy A as long as you can write at college level. Lots of HW but its EASY points. 1 Midterm & final are reasonable. 2 oral presentations. Laid back class. Majority of time is spent talking to classmates. I definitely recommend this prof over anyone other prof!

It is not tough to get an A if you do all your work. He is very helpful!

This teacher completely sucks. Ruined my GPA, and I have to waste academic renewal. Two essays due the first week. Very vague teacher. Expect hell.

If you're looking for an easy class but not expecting to learn anything then take this class. He talks about himself A LOT and the lecture is basically useless and boring. But he's nice professor overall.

Changed everything in his course outline, someone complained about class being too easy. Long essays (5+ pages!) and tests were IMPOSSIBLE! Ridiculously difficult. I would never take this class again.

Comment:

He is good, great orator and very good author though, but takes the class for a ride. He takes the class on a roller coaster, tells more about himself. Needs reminders that he is teaching and not socializing! Course is easy, mostly fill in the blanks!
