Reviews of professor Stuart Cook

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Cook is phenomenal. A lecture heavy class, but the material is presented clearly and is organized. Each lesson has a lab that reinforces the material. A lot of labs are practical utilizing Wireshark.

Super clear and nice guy. Has only a few tests throughout the semester and no homework. Most of the class are split between lecture days and lab days and he does not require attendance. The lbs are very straightforward and the instructions easily walk you through it. If you get stuck on the labs he will happily help you out. HIGHLY recommend!

I took Fundamentals of Information-Cybersecurity, and found this class to be very acceptable. All of the assignments are online and the answers come directly from the reading. Each chapter has a quiz that comes with it so it was pretty easy to get an A+. I also reached out to him after making a mistake, and he helped me correct it promptly.

Show up, pay attention and you will pass. Attendance not mandatory only on test days. No textbook. Probably one of the easiest classes I've had. I think we had a total of 5 tests and the fifth being our final exam. Tests are about 25 - 35 multiple choice questions. He does a review the day before over the EXACT test you will take. TAKE HIS CLASS!!

He only KNOWS the material because he decided decades ago he wanted to 'work with computers'. I would ask questions he couldn't answer & seemed to have no interest in finding an answer. You'll learn the material but it's up to you to understand the nuts & bolts of how/why it works. A mixture of caring and laziness.

Great professor . He is a fair grader and doesn't give too much homework. This is my second time taking a course from him.
