Reviews of professor William Cooney

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Prof. Cooney is a cool person, but his class is way more difficult than necessary. The grades he gives do not reflect performance or amount learned. The focus of the entire class is really just learning a single argumentative structure to be applied strictly to everything. I don't know think anyone earned an A in the class.

DO NOT TAKE. By far the hardest grader I have ever had. He specifically says that he doesn't think grades matter and is fine giving biased C's and D's overall. On our most recent assignment, only 2 people received over 80% on a paper worth 10% of our class. Expect to learn and do lots of work with poor outcomes. Nonetheless, he is brilliant overall

He gives unhelpful comments on papers, which are often not even written in proper English. Ironic considering he is a communications professor. Often got comments asking questions that were literally answered in the next sentence of my paper. The essays become exponentially larger parts of your grade percentage. Remember the implication!:(

So happy this joke of a class is over. I blame only part of it on the professor, because the fact that business students have to take COM 314 is insulting. The COM department has spent their whole in academia and teaches according to it. For example he has never heard of the "STAR Method" for interviewing. At least you will learn to write a thesis!

William Cooney is not a good teacher. This is an online 1 credit course and he treated to like a 300 or above level course. He is not clear with grading and does a poor job of responding to emails. He gives feedback really late and expects.
