Reviews of professor Tim Cobler

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you want to make a challenging class more challenging, take Cobler. He takes the course VERY serious and doesn't tolerate just about anything. If youre willing though, it is possible to pass if you dedicate a ton of hours doing his lengthy homework and Star problems which dont even correlate to the coursework. His is a nice guy though.

Take his class! His lectures were super informative/easy to understand and its obvious he knows what he's talking about. He tries to make it fun/make us laugh so I really enjoyed his class. Always leaves at least 1 review day before exams/explains topics on exams ahead of time. Also super understanding in office hours/quick about answering emails!

Honestly this was worse MATH class I have ever taken. I felt so belittled whenever I had a question for him. There are just so many things that was wrong with this class that can't be explained. The homework& lessons did not correlate with his test what-so-ever. The program that "makes it easier to learn," actually made it more difficult.

Decent professor. The class was challenging for me. Gave us 3 exams and 1 final with a couple of random quizzes in there. Write everything down and understand that and the homework. Doesn't curve his exams. He makes you work for it.

I cannot begin to even describe how poor of a professor this guy is. Especially after COVID and switching to remote learning, you begin questioning why you're even paying him to teach you at all. Gives the most minimal amount of effort to teach the class (if you can even consider it teaching). Hands down worst professor I've had.

In all honesty math is one of my worst subjects but he does a great job on making the lectures clear. He does "investigations" like any other Math120 class with assignments that correspond to each. The work load is not TOO bad but if you do not attend class or keep up, you will fail. 3 tests in total in which are reviewed beforehand.

Took him for math 270b (though I believe they just changed the name to 170b) and he was a solid professor. Midterms and final were easy any pretty much exactly what he goes over in the notes. Do the notes and homework and you should have no problem with this class. Skip the notes and homework though and you will probably struggle.
