Reviews of professor Christopher Cogan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was very entertaining. He tries to make it interesting for the students. The midterm and final were take home and he gave us plenty of time to finish it, and all the answers were in the powerpoint. He does in-class assignments and homework assignments but drops the lowest grade in each at the end of the term. Really enjoyed his class!

I took one of Dr. Cogan's first courses taught at MUN. He is hilarious in class, wants you to pass and will do all he can to help make that happen. He gives out graded activities in GEOG1050, so attendance matters but they're done in small groups and really easy, plus he would tell us when they would be. I would definitely take his class again!

Professor Cogan is a very fun prof! His lectures were sort of dry but he tried his best. the only Negative is that he is a tough grader but other than that he is very tech savvy, acsesible, and a great prof.

I would for sure take Cogan again for any geo related course. Many things to be graded on which I personally like. He gives a week for the labs which are extremely easy if you just read what is being asked. Quiz's are good to test your knowledge after each week of new information. The mid term was also very fair and pretty straight forward!!

Nice enough person but did a horrible job with carrying the class online. Assumes people have so much more knowledge about software than they do. Would avoid until classes resume in person if possible.

Dr. Cogan is one of the best profs I've had at Mun. Course can be dry at times, but he makes it as interesting as possible. Wants students to succeed; provides lots of time for quizzes / assignment deadlines with assistance along the way. Very approachable and funny. Attending lectures is a must to understand content and evaluation criteria.

He was honestly the worst prof I have ever had. He loved to make fun of the students in the class and tried to make a final a week out from exams. This class is so easy but I would NOT take it from him!

I took Cogans class when everything was online, so I understand that courses are different & harder. I dont think Chris understood that - we have 25 minutes for 25 mc on our final. thats it - 25% of our grade is for weekly quizzes and assignments. we had 6 quizzes & 1 assignment - the quizzes were based off of random things he said in videos

While his online lectures are pretty dry, the info he presents is accurate and I didn't find his expectations unreasonable. Nice guy, and fairly accessible to his students. Some test questions did seem a bit out of nowhere, but not often enough for it to bother me. I wouldn't avoid his classes, but I wouldn't actively seek them out either.
