Reviews of professor Booker Cook

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor is a tough grader. Course is asynchronous, you are left completely on your own! No powerpoints, no clear grading rubric. There was never a lesson plan or schedule to follow, he randomly posts when you have an essay, no tests just 4-7 essays based on the book's content on American history. If you don't do all the readings, you won't pass.

Papers based on text and written in summary style with your thoughts of if you agree/disagree and why and what you think the author missed. Each paper is 10 points and a group presentation 10 points too. Just showing up will get you a C. Extremely caring and kind; the best and most impactful class I have ever taken. Dr. Cook is amazing!

this professor makes you read a lot, but will not go over the material. he will make you write multiple essays for the same book. he lets you turn in essays again for a better grade. he spends all his class time talking about something, but it had nothing to do with the material he gave us. he is an easy grader, just have everything he asks for.

He was a horrible teacher. Way too much homework and writing in the discussion post. i got far behind after the first 2 weeks (my fault) because i work also and was doing overtime. to get credit on what you miss you have to type up the 600 word essay for EACH assignment that you missed and not get full credit. if you struggle easily, don't add him!

You complete four 4 page papers on the assigned reading and one presentation. Those are the only things that get graded. There are no small assignments. You kinda enter class not knowing what you're going to be doing. I think the professor does an excellent job of teaching this subject, but if you like structure like me, don't take this professor.
