DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT A GOOD GRADE!!! Class started with 22 kids but dropped to 7 after the midterm so that should be an indication right there. Highest grade given was 82%

Comment:

Worst Prof I've ever had in my entire life. Told us to read the chapter 3 times if need be. His final was ridiculously hard. Half the people dropped after midterm. Everyone in class is sitting in same boat hoping they at least pass. At this point, I'm just praying for a C-. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!

Comment:

Took the final today, had some fairly tough material. He plays with the wording a bit. First, he does not curve- at all- that doesnt bother me so take it as you will. Second, he gives no real idea of what will be on exams. Third, I was one of the students who scored high on the midterm. He will definitely test your knowledge of accounting. 3.8 GPA

Comment:

Awful. 1 A- and 1 B was given. Everyone else got D's and F's on the midterm. He informed us that you must spend 25 hours in his class a week to get an A. Unless you are obsessed with accounting and are willing to put in that amount of time just for his class, you will drop and you will waste your money. He has been teaching for over 50 years...

Comment:

Anyone who said he isn't hard definitely set the curve. In my class one person got an A and one person got a B out of 24 people. After midterms half my class dropped. If you set the curve in your classes, he's great for you. Besides that don't risk your Accounting career on a "challenge". Because you will stay mad and regretful.

Dr. Cohen is one of the best teachers I've ever had. If you don't work hard, you won't do well, but how is this any different than any other aspect of life?

Studied hard and earned an A. Prof Cohen tells you how to succeed. If you don't follow his advise then don't expect a good grade.

Comment:

IF u think you can pass his class like i did. THINK AGAIN.. I dropped his course after my midterm exam and studied so hard for. He is OLD and very discouraging.. I remembered him saying something in comparison with the CPA exam. He wont care if his exams were more difficult even if u pass the CPA exam on ur first try.

His final is the hardest exam I have ever taken in my life. No matter how much you study you will probably fail. P.S. I am an A student.

Ok so just got back midterm grades for our class: 0 A's, 5 B's, 10 C's, 8 D's, 10 F's. And this is after his curve! Class average was a 62%. Kids with 3.5 and higher GPA's failed. If that doesn't tell you that he can't teach idk what will. The worst professor ever! Blames students for everything and discourages them from majoring in Accounting!

Comment:

This professor is horrible. ZERO students in a class of 30 got an A on his midterm. He spends hours going over material that he barely puts on his exam and then claims that everything on his exams are covered in class (yeah, right). Absolutely avoid him.

Comment:

Do whatever you can to get into another instructor's section. He may be very knowledgeable, but that doesn't mean he knows how to get that info across to students. It's one thing to have to work harder and another to have to teach yourself and have to attend class. What exactly is his job?

don't trust those yellow faced comments. I heard that some are fake so that students will take cohen and leave the other teachers' class open. I've heard many people say to avoid him. He is super hard.

Comment:

I thought I was understanding the material, but his tests were very difficult to me.I did hwk and readings, but the tests are completely diff then what u do in class. Avoid him if you can. They shouldn't be letting him teach anymore. His objective is to weed out students, but it's not fair.

Comment:

Cohen is by no means impossible. Sure, he doesn't baby you, but that's what your mom is for. All I did was pay attention in class, really focused on reading the book before tests, and went through the homework as practice (aka all things you should be doing anyways) and I got an A. He really knows his stuff and is always available for help.
