Dr. Cook was by far the funniest prof. I had this year, super hard tests and quizzes but only cause his lectures are so good. Super funny and is always putting a fun twist on historical events.

Dr. Cook is an awesome professor! He makes Western Civilization interesting and fun. Instead of using the textbook, he chooses three different novels that will be read and quizzes on throughout the semester. I am taking Dr. Cook next semester and I cannot wait! 10/10

One of the best professors I've ever had. The tests are mostly from the powerpoints he goes over during class, and if you miss a class then you can watch the videos he posts to YouTube. Personally I went to every class and watched all the videos and made a really easy A. Don't expect to just glide through, but he makes it pretty easy for you.

Such an awesome professor. His 101 course was the first history class I ever actually enjoyed. Tests are easy if you pay attention and take notes (not just rewriting what's on the powerpoints). Definitely loves history and you can tell he cares for his students. Records his lectures and posts them to youtube.

My study style: Oral+Visual, Practice majority of lectures can be found via Youtube. Content is 80-90% same as in-class lecture. Great Prof, make things interesting. I hate history, but class was entertaining. Exams: geography + multiple choice. Has extra credit based on movie reviews. Debates are an interesting concept for class. Hard to fail.

Overall a nice guy and this rating is not against him, but his class. Teaches lecture class like a hybrid class due to the flipped classroom that wasnt made aware of when signing up for the class and you have to watch his lectures online. Lectures dont give the whys about history and memorization is how you pass tests.

Comment:

He has a unique sense of humor which is prevalent throughout the class. He will help you out as long as you try in the class. This is not a hard class at all. If you miss lectures they are all on YouTube. You can watch movies for extra credit and you have probably already seen at least one of them. All around great class if you try

Dr. Cook was hard at first because I didnt know how to study for his class. Only take this class if youre willing to study a lot and read chapters every night for his books. His class is really easy if you put in effort! And he gives a lot of extra credit and easy quizzes. Great teacher and he has a great personality

Overall, he's a teacher that won't bore you or put you to sleep. Energetic and humorous, approachable and understanding. Gives plenty of oppurtunities for easy points. Studying will probably be necessary for the tests, but for quizes? As I said, easy points.

Dr. Cook is an awesome professor, I took him for both Wesern Civ classes and I really enjoyed it. He does not put up with BS and if you do not study you will not make good grades on his exams. He doesn't put up with rudeness and he is a straight shooter, don't take this class if you don't plan on taking it seriously. Super funny and sarcastic!

Dr. Cook knows history and knows how to teach it well. He uses PowerPoint in his lectures and keeps the class interesting. His tests are difficult if you don't study but even if you're bad at history, you can still pass. He gives extra credit papers which helps! He gives quizzes on books that you have to read but the quizzes help your grade!!

One of the best teachers I've ever had. He has amazing lectures, he always makes them interesting & funny & makes learning about it fun. You have to read 2 whole books & take quizzes on them, but easy points if you read & pay attention to the plot. The tests are very difficult. You MUST study to do well on his tests. Absolutely hilarious and nice.
