Reviews of professor Garner Cochran

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Cochran is an okay professor, but he is highly disorganized and still adjusting to teaching. I rely heavily on examples, so I struggled to learn using the packets he gives for each section. He wants you to be able to get to the answer yourself which is good but can make the class harder than it needs to be. There is also lots of homework!

Dr. Cochran has the raw material of an outstanding professor. He is perhaps the most genuinely interested in his students' success out of all the professors I've had. If you fail his class, it will be despite his best effort to pass you. He's still learning, but improved a lot just while teaching this class. I envy anyone taking him in a few years.

The worst professor I've ever had, he has no respect for students' time and his lectures are uninformative and borderline useless. I learned the material through khan academy because he cannot teach, Take any other professor, I can't imagine they could be worse than him.

Cochran is the nicest professor and cares about his students. If you are bad at math and need a foundations credit, this is the perfect class for you. Quizzes and exams are easy, and the things you learn in class/things on the quizzes are exactly what's on the exams.

Just don't take him. He teaches like tutor doing your homework for you. He's so nice, but not the world's greatest prof. Very clear he has a lot of learning to do himself. Don't even get me started on his grading system. You could get the answer right and still make a 60 because he didn't like how you wrote it.
