Reviews of professor John Cole

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The class is very interesting and he is very passionate about what he does. However, he is such a harsh grader and makes it a little hard to succeed. The exams are very hard and the papers have weird topics.

He is a great professor and you should do well in the class as long as you pay attention to his lectures and take great notes. There are weekly quizzes, a group project, two exams, and a capstone paper.

REL 3178 was a great class and Dr. Cole is an awesome professor. He really seems to care about students and he clearly knows what he's talking about. The grade is based on a presentation, a few quizzes, and a few essays. They aren't too difficult if you go to class and have a basic understanding of the assigned readings. Definitely recommend.

There is a good amount of workload in this course, but it's manageable. I didn't find him to be a harsh grader for the essays but his quizzes were tough. I took in depth notes every week during his lectures and still wouldn't have all the information I needed to get them all right. While attendance isn't mandatory, definitely attend every class.

Don't be threatened- I did enjoy his class. He is an outgoing and caring man with lots of wisdom. It is difficult to do well in this class unless you attend every lecture. There is a weekly quiz, 2 essays and a final Capstone essay, and a midterm and final exam. I didn't find the course to be too difficult but you need to understand all concepts.

He is an amazing person with an inspirational background. He is caring and kind, and he really wants you to do well. COME TO CLASS! He basically hands out all the important info so you don't have to read the 20 page articles. Very clear and straightforward exams/papers, although he can be a tough grader on his papers. Not an easy A, but doable.

Gave very funny and entertaining lectures. His multicultural film class was a blast I highly recommend. He's very nice, gives good feedback on essays, and writes anything that might show up on tests on the white board.
