Unbelievably unclear lecturer, does not answer student questions, does not explain iclicker questions, does not know how to explain advanced 7c concepts beyond what is presented on the slides. I am actually unconfident that Cooper himself would be able to pass one of the midterms or the final for this class based on how visibly confused he was when trying to answer the much easier iclicker questions.

Cooper needs to be retired into an easier profession because he is doing an extreme disservice to his students. I took this class with Esdin as well, who is a great professor and much better. I wish my tuition payment for this class went towards the quality of education I got with Esdin rather than the hot mess of Cooper

Dr. Cooper is a succinct but very dry lecturer. He likes to draw his own diagrams, which can be very helpful for this class.

Cooper is such a sweet man, like genuinely, but this class was hands down the worst class Iv'e taken in the 7 series. The material is technically straight forward, and I was prepared for the typical tricky 7 series questions, but Cooper did such a bad job of explaining important aspects on different homeostatic process, main ideas, and changes to processes. By the time we got to the midterm the questions were significantly harder than the concepts and clickers that were went over in class. Im all down for taking personal responsibility but Cooper did an awful job at preparing us for the exams

Professor Cooper taught the class alongside Dr.Khanken, he is one of the most disengaging professors I have ever taken. He often mumbles and trails off when he speaks, so it's hard to catch some information. He definitely is very knowledgeable about his content, but oftentimes he includes information that is useless and difficult to understand. This is an introductory course, yet I feel like I learn more content with the discussions and OH than I do the actual lecture. If you get him as a professor, it's best to learn the content on your own.

The class material itself was relatively straightforward, if a bit tedious. Unfortunately, Professor Cooper's lectures could either make concepts more or less clear. He tends to go very slowly, often contradicting himself within one sentence. On the plus side, he draws a lot of clarifying diagrams of the concepts he is explaining.

In Winter 2020, this class was co-taught by Dr. Esdin and Dr. Cooper. Dr. Cooper taught the middle half of the course (weeks 2-6), which covered most of the human body systems - nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, etc. I appreciated how Dr. Cooper drew out diagrams for us - it was very helpful for visualizing the parts of the different systems. He definitely knew the material well. However, it would have been better if Dr. Cooper explained the clicker questions better - sometimes it felt like he would show the answer and give little explanation of the answer. Overall, Dr. Cooper was an alright lecturer; you'll definitely need to study a decent amount on your own time to do well in the course.
