Reviews of professor Paul Cook

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a great guy and professor. He is passionate and knowledgable about what he teaches. His tests are fairly difficult though as they are not all multiple-choice. This class is very lecture heavy and attendance is mandatory but it is a zoom and you don't have to have your camera on lol ;)

I loved having Professor Cook! Sad the class is over. He really cares that you know the full truth about history, and is adamant that you are always eager to learn. Very necessary to show up to class because the book is refuted often. Great passionate lectures. Everyone should take this course with Professor Cook at some point!!

This professor took 2 months to grade 6 video summaries and when I reached out to him as well as the humanities chair the professor grew increasingly upset because my email also included the chair of the humanities department, so he decided to attack my integrity and work ethic. He is very very unprofessional.

I found his class incredibly interesting. His lectures can get boring since he talks for 2 hours with no break. Be sure to write notes and study them before the tests. There's an essay about Fredrick Douglass at the end of the semester, but he will help you write papers and create a good thesis. He's one of the best professors at CSCC.

Dr. Cook is amazing, both as a person, and a professor. He is passionate, informative, and always helpful. Do your readings, and keep up, and everything else will be a breeze. He's quick to grade, and always gives helpful feedback. Also, none of us paid a dime for our textbook. Wish he taught every class ever!

Passionate and well studied. Very involved and knowledgeable not only about African American history but global, European, Asian, African, etc which often show in his explanations. Amazing lecture voice that moves emotions and the mind. One of the best lecturers I've ever had. He teaches history differently and makes you engaged. I'll miss him.
