Reviews of professor Thomas Coakley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I honestly loves his class. He is very argumentative so make sure you have evidence to back up what you say. But overall, he really is a great teacher, super smart and funny. Homework is light, only once a week and it is an easy A

read the book and answer questions once a week. There are like 3 papers - all really easy. Professor Coakley just gets angry over small things, and you can tell that hes very opinionated and since this is a "ethics" class, sort of, he will only move on once EVERYONE has seen his side on the matter. can get annoying. class is simple, take for easy A

great experience and interesting topics covered in class. respect him as a teacher and he will respect you. participate in class as frequently as possible and make sure to hand in assignments on time. there is quite a lot of writing in this course but it IS classified on Degreeworks as a "writing intensive" course so it makes sense. overall 8/10.

Prof Coakley will make you think about what your opinions are and why you might have them.   Heavy emphasis on social media in society and how things have changed in our country over time.   Weekly 1 page papers and three required 5 pages.   Attendance is part of grade.

Professor Coakley provides an easy course that only requires you to show up and do the homework to get yourself an A. He is very easygoing and gives knowledgeable lectures every class. I would 100% take another class with this professor if I could.
