Reviews of professor Joel Koopman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Great class! Three tests (including final) , 3 papers, and one group project. He gives really good feedback and is clear about what he wants in papers and what will be on the tests. Great professor and lectures are intersting (given the subject matter) Would definitely take him again if he teaches another class.

Koopman was great! For tests, you take it first on your own, then you take it a second time with your team on the same day and your score if averaged together. If you still didn't do as well as you wanted to, you could take it a third time on the next class day. Koopman encourages class participation, and is very much involved with our learning.

He cares greatly about his students learning. He keeps the classroom engaged and he does a good job of adapting his lectures to a younger generation of learners (via tech breaks in class). You can tell he cares a lot about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. He is accessible outside of class and is incredibly knowledgeable.

Koop is awesome. The course material isn't super interesting but he does his best to make lectures engaging. YOU GET TO TAKE THE TESTS THREE TIMES. Once individually, then with your group, then individually again two days later. He is a tough grader but if you're willing to work there's no reason you shouldn't make an A. Also he's a total bro.

Lets you take tests 3 times: first time is just how u would take any test, 2nd time with a group, and then u get to retake the same test the next class, and he will average your grades. Few essays, but he's a pretty easy grader. Final is just past exams that he lets you come in a view the correct answers 2 before you take it. BEST PROF!!

MGMT 363 H, but it was not listed. Great prof, you'd be lucky to get him. Definitely one of the more useful classes you can take at A&M.

This class was frustrating. Three exams w/ short answers & a cumulative final that took questions word-for-word from the past exams, but we never could look back at the past exams to see what we got right or wrong. Writing assignments were vague & graded harshly (for example, a point off if your margin was 1.08 instead of 1). Take someone else.

Joel is a great prof, but a tough grader on the 3 papers you write. He will expect detail in your writing that isn't fully asked for in the rubric. I got mid-B's on exams because some questions were in-depth from the book that you wouldn't know to focus on from reviews. This killed my chance for an A. Exams were only indiv. & group (not 3 tries).
