Reviews of professor Paul Cooper

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I hate politics, but he made it interesting. Expects you to read. He always asks questions and doesnt criticize answers. Lectures are mostly from the book and current events. Hes younger and likes to have fun with the class. If you dont come to class, dont read you wont do well. He met me in his office outside of office hours.

lets start off with the fact that when we went on thanksgiving break STILL nobody knew where they stood in the class, 2 weeks b4 semester was over. he leaves you stranded with his grading process. none of his lectures help. theres really no point in going to class cause all he does is flip through slides not even allowing time for notes. SO BAD

Had him last semester for Texas Politics. Hes funny, smart and constantly getting the class involved in discussions. Expect to read as he asks questions in class. I noticed the younger students complained hes hard while us older students liked him. He met with me in his office several times. I loved his class and want to take him again.

If your major is political science, Cooper is great, if you're taking the course just for the credit I would take a different prof. He's very smart , can be funny sometimes, and knows what he's talking about but tests are hard and those are the only grades. You must have the right book and read all the chapters in order to do well on tests.

Had Prof Cooper for the spring, night class. He always made it interesting and funny. He met with me even outside his office hours, after class, and helped me earn the grade I wanted. He's a sick genius and knows more than the book. He always got our exams back after he curved them. He's super chill and loves getting the class in convos.

he took 2 weeks off from class and left us with a sub, it took him 4EVER to grade test & then you couldn't see your grade because he doesn't know how to use Blackboard. its 3 exams over basically the whole txtbook, he give reviews before the exams but depending on the version it might not help. I truly think I passed this class with an A by luck

Professor Cooper is a bad professor, he is never available. I spoke to his about setting up an appt to discuss my grade and he never answered. He is unorganized, and goes over the material super quickly. It feels like I was set up for failure. If you can, choose a different professor.

Tough professor, but not really. He expects you to read, and he gives out lots of extra credit if you dont do well on his exams. He asks questions in class and even gives out extra credit for participation. He had to leave for a week for his legal job, but we got a sub. He also curves his exams. If you read and come to class, youll do well.
