Comment:
Professor Coogan has an incredibly impressive command of the subject matter. It is truly impressive to listen to him give lectures. However, his class is very heavy on essays and he grades them harshly. That being said, I wouldn't say he's an unfair grader at all. If you're taking one of his classes, prepare to have your essay lovingly roasted.

Comment:
Professor Coogan and I rarely saw eye to eye on subjective matter in 20th Century history. That said, he's a brilliant professor. He always encouraged debate and never spoke down to students. He was clear, helpful, and very exciting to listen to. I recommend every Hollins girl take a class with him.

Comment:
Coogan is easy to get along with as long as you do what he asks and suggests. Don't ignore his suggestions because he will take points off for it. Tends to glaze over topics rather than really go into them and use of textbooks in class is limited, but he does expect you to read in order to have meaningful class discussions.

Awesome teacher and a great sense of help. He is willing to go out of his way to help students and is always available to ask questions, even the stupid ones. His classes are primarily lectured based and are usually acompanied with powerpoints. His tests are easy if you pay attention during class.

Comment:
Coogan is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He seems to know every! And also know how to make that information understandable to just about anyone. Really good at mediating discussion, as well. It's hard to tell what he really thinks about things because he's so good at playing devil's advocate. Not easy at all, but he rewards for hard work.

He taught in shades of gray. The class was interesting and broadened my outlook, but I got tired of being taught as a child. Coogan knows his history, but one class was enough for me.

Take anything this man teaches, you won't regret it. You'll learn how to rethink everything you ever thought you knew about the subject.

Great teacher, hard though. Be prepared for a tough ride, he is an amazing historian but his papers are really hard to write and he expects A LOT!
