Sweet guy. He sometimes goes on tangents, but he knows what he is doing and he co-wrote the textbooks. He is good at explaining concepts and his tests are easy.

Dr. Cochran is an excellent teacher and a very nice guy. He is very knowledgeable and obviously loves math, but is also very humble and approachable. I would definitely recommend taking a class from him if you get the opportunity.

Mr. Cochran Is ruthless when it comes to partial credit on test, and He has the innate ability to make math more boring than it already is.

Professor Cochran is a fine Christian man who happens to be an excellent teacher. He's smart and able to explain even the most difficult concepts in a patient manner. I wish my HS teachers had been this good.

I've had him for four classes, and I know that he can be condescending; and he would appear to have his favorites in class, as well as those he really dislikes.

Good teacher. Always has a corny math joke at 8 AM. Can tend to be a little harsh if you come in for help when he's stressed out, but overall a good guy and very helpful. He made Calc III pretty easy for me.

Comment:

What others say is correct.. he may be helpful to the slow ones in the class, but if you know anything about math it may be the most boring class you will EVER take. He tried to fail me because of my lack of attendance even though I had a 97% average on the tests.
