Reviews of professor Robert Cook

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His videos have nothing to do with the homework. You need Excel and different softwares in order to take this course. If you have a MAC laptop you will struggle. He is a very nice guy but he does not care if you don't understand or how much time it takes you to do the hw he will give you a zero if not done.

Dr. Cook is a great person to connect to on a personal level as he is a very young professor. However, it takes forever to get feedback on assignments (even with his teaching aide, whom is a student, that helps him out on grading). When you do want to check-in about the feedback, he will barely remember what the feedback was about since it was old.

Great professor, the class just covers a lot of material. For an online course, he does an amazing job organizing the portal to make sure you stay on top of everything. You have unlimited attempts for homework, which allows you to earn the grade you want. He is very accessible and helpful. However, he should do more examples to help with homework.

He's a nice guy but he assigns the most difficult assignments ever. And majority of it is all excel. Everyone in the class is struggling. Also, he makes you download different types of unnecessary add ins for the excel. It didn't work for most of the class and he made us go to campus EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN ONLINE CLASS. What a joke. He doesn't care.

The worst professor at NEIU by far. He doesn't care to see students fail. Do not take him if you don't like teaching yourself. He's USELESS at teaching.

Mr. Cook was a horrible teacher. His instructions are not clear and confusing. When I reached out for help his advice was to watch the "how to" videos. If you struggle DO NOT TAKE HIM. I had to withdraw from his class. Take Dr. K (Cigdem Gonul Kochan, Ph.D.) online course instead, stay away from Mr. Cook.
