Comment:

His power points aren't helpful, he says they are for him and will turn off the projector if he sees you copying it. 6 quizzes but 2 are optional and then a midterm and final. He rambles on about irrelevant things. If you're more hands on Id say do NOT take his class.

Ok so first off, if you're taking western civ 1122 theres are 6 quizzes , a midterm and final. He drops the two lowest quiz grades. The quizzes are true and false and write an identification. Study your notes and read your book and you'll be fine.

Comment:

I had always heard mixed reviews about Dr. Cox but I took him anyways and I am glad I did. By far my favorite professor. Pay attention to what he specifically emphasizes in his lectures and take good notes. The main questions missed by the class as a whole on the quizzes are the questions on the midterm/final. Essay on every quiz as well. STUDY.

Comment:

hardest thing ever, he just lectured in a narrative way but your essays cant be that way because he really looks for you to thoroughly understand everything and have excellent writing skills, the part that makes it worse is that his test have a certain format that you have to memorize aside from the actual course. DO NOT TAKE

Mr. Cox is a great professor but his class is really hard, you have to really put in the work to get the grade you want. Test always include essay portion. On test ALWAYS BE SPECIFIC.

He covers a lot of information and expects you to remember everything . Your only grades are test where he gives you a row of words that had little significance and you write the time , where , what happened etc. sound easy ? Not when he did not talk about it a lot . Word of advice STUDY EVERYTHING , and be prepared the final is over 6 weeks of inf

His class was a typical college class. RECORD EVERY SINGLE LECTURE. It will save you. His notes aren't in depth but his lectures are. He's blunt and sarcastic, but he's nice if he can tell you're trying. He only helps those who help themselves. His tests were hard but you learn how to study for them after the first one. Pretty nice guy.

I LOVED this professor. By far my favorite teacher at Gordon. He's tough but fair and genuinely gets excited when he sees that students are improving. He taught me how to take notes and how to study. He has a passion and love for history and it shows through his lectures.

He is amazing. You can tell he loves his work. He made history class worth going to. His class work is a bit difficult. It is not impossible though. You should expect a class this difficult in college.

Hard, but fair. Not concerned as much with dates as he is for significance. He shows how history connects. Work hard and pay attention, you will be fine. I suggest bringing a recorder since everything he says is important. Take notes like crazy! Read the books he assigns; they actually are important. I liked him a lot. Great Professor, indeed!

Great professor. If you came to college to be a serious student, then you will do fine in his class. No BS, just a great history professor. Pay attention, take notes, prepare for the quizzes. He will tell you all you need to know.

Comment:

Dr. Cox is an amazing professor. He treats everyone like adults and will occasionally branch off into a lecture about how his students need to grow up. Take notes and read over them a bit and you'll do fine on the quiz. The real issue is the book questions he gives. Usually there are 3 books he will send you questions over and they are quite hard.

He's hard and doesn't give you a chance at all. You can have the correct answer and cited he will still have something bad to say!

Comment:

Dr. Cox was a true COLLEGE PROFESSOR! He doesn't baby you or give you more than you can handle. He tells you what notes to study for each quiz. The hardest art of his class was reading the book assignments on the side. He doesn't put up with texting or immaturity in class. He doesn't use the text in class & I made an A+ without it! He's not to bad!

If you are not ready for a REAL college course, I would advise you not to take his class. I have taken him twice once when I was not ready for a REAL college class and now when I am fully prepared for one. There are six quizzes, only four count and there are two test midterm and final. It is a very simple class if you are college material.

Comment:

Dr. Cox is neither hard nor rude, he is an intelligent professor who simply expects his students to do their work. He teaches everything clearly but too many students do not want to put in the hard work that college demands of them. As he says often, "This is college." If you want an easy A go back to high school.

Comment:

He's not very approachable, but his class isnt that difficult. The syllabus and the first few classes are really intimidating, but he knows everything and is so helpful. He gives you everything you need to know. I was an average student and made an A in this class because I applied myself. You learn a ton. Not for lazy, sorry students. Take him.
