Comment:
I was nervous taking his class bc I saw all of the bad reviews, but honestly, professor Coccia's class was one of the best classes that I have taken. He gives a lot of work, but he communicates well with the class & makes it clear when things are due & what is expected. I HIGHLY recommend you take his class. If you put in the effort, its an easy A.

Comment:
This teacher's lectures are not helpful and mostly about his life. Not one thing in his lectures are in the tests. Most of his material is from the 70's. The majority of the grade is from exams, and all the material is in the book. Exam is set up to confuse you and makes it harder to get a good grade. Nice guy, just not my favorite teacher.

Took his during summer session, and be forewarned, it is a lot of work, especially when crammed into 6 weeks. Very fair grader and gave lots of opportunities for extra credit. If you do the work and follow his exact guidelines, you will get an A. Quizzes and tests are straight from the textbook.

I took this professor online. It's impossible to get a good grade if you're taking other classes and actually have a life. He is very specific with what we wants in his papers but he doesn't explain it well. When I asked for help, he told me to look harder. Paper due every week. Horrible. Please don't take.

Comment:
I took professor Coccia online for developmental psych. Thought it would be an easy A but it is not. There is a paper due each week and he grades them harshly. I found myself putting more time in for this class than I did for my more important classes. Also, you have to make sure you stay on top of what is due because it gets a little hectic.

Mr. Coccia is a great professor! I learned so much in his class that I have already applied to life and that I know I will use in the future! I took his class in the summer, online, and I was overwhelmed at first because of how accelerated it is but as long as you write everything down it is easy to stay on top of everything.

He's a great professor and I thoroughly enjoyed his class. He's very relatable, approachable, and hilarious. He likes to get everyone engaged and is a no nonsense kinda guy. You'll have a good time with him, and you'll learn a lot! He tells a lot of interesting stories too, all, in a way, related to the class, but fun to hear nonetheless.

Good professor, assigns A LOT of essays and is super strict with grammar. It has to be perfect or he takes off a lot of points if your comma is not need in a sentence. Expects only greatness from everyone.

Great teacher. He is passionate, funny, interesting, fair, and really one of the best professors I've had. Sure, you have to read the text, but it is college, you should be reading the text. Quizzes every week help boost your grade. I learned a lot from this class. I highly recommend taking a class with him.

Interesting class however, after a while his lectures get repetitive and boring. He's definitely a fair grader and loves to talk and make everyone laugh. Quizes almost every class (make sure you read the pages assigned, not just the definitions) Tests are all multiple choice but get tricky.

Good teacher, he's always there to help if needed. He's a funny guy and his lectures are fairly enjoyable. Although he does tend to tell a lot of stories, so the textbook is your best friend. You need to teach yourself most of the information.

Lectures are awesome but quizzes everyday get confusing and the wording used on tests are built to trick you

His online class is not an easy A. Very work intensive. The professor was very helpful when you needed it. I have heard his traditional class is much easier.

If you love multiple choice tests, hes your man. He is funny and has many important lessons to teach his students(don't hit your kids, don't text and drive) and is pretty funny. READ the textbook. Quizzes almost every week but they only help you to get a better grade.

I have nothing negative to say about Prof. Coccia! The lectures are so entertaining and interesting; an hour and fifteen minutes goes by in a flash. If you study, you'll do fine! Prof. Coccia is just a good guy overall. And he's HILARIOUS. BTW turn your phone off before class -- It's not worth 5 points off your next exam if it goes off!

Read the book, do the extra credit, and show up. Lectures are NEVER boring, and if you pay attention you will pass the test. If you study you can get an A. Awesome professor/ awesome person.
