Awesome

I really loved taking Chem 1 with Prof. Cook. He's very fun to be around in class and he always jokes around with people in front. If you do not study, tests will blindside you. Doing the homework and coming to class is the easiest way for you to pass. He's very intelligent and he really expects a lot of work ethic. He's very fantastic! I would want to take him again.

Prof. Cook is very intelligent! He makes a gen. chem class harder than it has to be. He also uses clickers for attendance every class. In-class questions are understandable, but tests are extremely hard. However, tests become easier as you go. Make sure you're focused if you go into class because it's quite impossible to recover.

Prof. Cook is terrible. He doesn't post assignments on canvas until the deadline or day before. He won't even try to remind you. He's also not accessible. Exams are tough and a lot of people actually fail. If you don't know how to do chem, do not take him.

Good

Professor Cook was pretty good. His exams were what really takes you. They are very math-based which sucks. However, you get partial credit as they were free response, which I really enjoy. To succeed in his class, you need to practice more on problem solving. He really wants everyone to succeed and did really tries to prepare us for later chemistry courses.

Doctor Cook's class is for those that have time to go to SI sessions because they will save your grade. If you're balancing school and work getting a good grade is so much harder. Also, he does not do a lot of practice problems in class and all his tests are free-response. I suggest reading the textbook before class and going to many SI sessions.

I would never recommend taking Doctor Cook at Chemistry 1314. This is the first class where I failed a test and studied a lot. His test is very heavy math, and not a multiple choice. Absolutely, attendance is mandatory and SI should be if you take his class. If you take him, don't forget to do mastering assignments, since he won't remind you about them.

Professor Cook's class is mostly oral participation. I like him better in the context of this class than 1314. There are five short questions each week and a few essays that were not difficult. Overall, I absolutely recommend this class because it was so fun and it was nice to meet him out of the class.

Professor Cook's class was absolutely terrible. The only thing I can compare to is hell. His tests were all math and half of it is what you never learn in class. The laboratories were easy though. However, the homework and exams were very difficult for an introductory course. I guess he takes pleasure in failing most of his students. I wouldn't take his class again.

Professor Cook cares. However, he doesn't care enough about you to succeed. He says do your best and makes the tests impossible. How can a professor feel good when most students do not reach more than forty points on exams?
