Reviews of professor Monte Cook

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Critical reasoning was easy enough but I wouldn't take another class by Prof. Cook. He was disorganized in his lecture style and just in general. If that doesn't bother you much, then no worries. It didn't affect my grade or understanding of the material so much as it bothered me and made the class unenjoyable.

His teaching style is very outdated. He does not know how to use technology, and never got the point across in any of the lectures. I was never quite sure what was going on, and always felt embarrassed asking for help. I taught myself almost every single thing in this class. Wish I didn't struggle as hard as I did.

Rambling lectures difficult to ask questions with FEW clear answers. Just read and ask someone else if there's a problem.

Do the readings or you won't understand anything going on in class. Ask questions or you'll be confused. Cook is very knowledgeable and will explain everything over and over until you get it. He's also on top of grading. There aren't many assignments, just a few papers then a test.

He is a sweet prof and will help you if you go to his office hours, but his lectures are extremely boring. Be prepared to work hard. Class isn't mandatory, but he gives many examples in class that are test and quiz questions later on. Final grades are based on 10 easy hw assignments, 8 quizzes, 2 exams and a non-comprehensive final.
