Reviews of professor William Cohen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Bill is a great professor. He is very approachable and cares about his students' education. The class is a lot of work, but his personality and knowledge makes it more bearable. I am taking him for 1182, highly recommend!

Super nice and knowledgeable guy- class was difficult at the beginning but was super easy and fun for the last half

Class was made unnecessarily hard for 2 credit hours. He grades assignments seemingly without regard to the rubric and his feedback reveals his extremely specific grading criteria. Lectures are also very monotonous and long.

cool guy. insanely large amount of work but he can't control that. Department controls the class. He grades quick and gives good feedback.

Prof. Cohen is friendly, caring, and helpful. I really like him as a person. The class structure for 1181/1182 is pre-set so it's not his fault. I had issues during the semester, emailed him, and he was very flexible and understanding. Just go to class and don't put the TopHat code if you're not there cause he sometimes takes attendance twice.

Keeps lectures short and to the point. Seems to be very prepared, grades fairly. Treats people kindly, and is just an awesome person in general. Hes very approachable, and answers emails pretty quickly.

He helped me to really understand the material he was discussing. He explained the lessons very clearly and was receptive to questions and feedback. He helped me get started in my career as an engineer!

Bill is a really nice guy and very understanding. If you can get him, please do, you won't regret it. The course itself is very boring imo, but he finds ways to make it at least somewhat interesting. The only downside to the class is that if you get stuck with a bad group like I did, get ready to work HARD for an A. But that's the class, not Bill!!

While 1182 is set up with a bunch of busy work, I think Cohen did his best to get across what students needed to do and tried to help. He was flexible with dates when things came up, and moved assignments around. A very understanding guy with real industry experience. I recommend him.

ENGR1181.01 is perhaps the most annoying class you will ever take. I thought I knew what busy work was before this class, I was mistaken. Bill makes this class tolerable he has a great sense of humor and sympathizes with the students and usually will take your side if theres anything he can do. Highly recommend taking this class with Bill.

Bill isnt really that helpful with his feedback and doesnt help when you have technical troubles with assignments, etc. If you get him for FE, try your best to switch to any other prof.
