This is a sampling of some comments that remain in my "feedback folder" from earlier semesters.
I really thought this class was great. ... You're one of the most interesting and "coolest" people I've had the honor to speak with. I really can't count how many times your name or this course has come up in my everyday living. The pleasure was all mine.
You captivated my undivided attention thru the whole semester. I have raved over what I've learned in this class to the ones close to me. And I have applied my knowledge to my personal life (to understand me better), my love life, my children and my job. I think & hope you continue to share your knowledge and insight to the world.
Why not clone Jack Cohen? We need more people like you. You have no idea what a experience your classes are. You give so much of yourself, most of us will never meet another like you.
I hope to be at least somewhat like you in the future. Thank you. You are the best teacher I've ever had.
I think you ... are a Outstanding teacher and you simply THE BEST!
Dig it, man! Your class has meant a lot to me. It has made many things right which were corrupting my mind. I have not only learned about others but about myself. From the bottom of my heart I thank you. ... This is real, and again, thank you, my friend.
I'm thankful this Thanksgiving season for having the opportunity of having you as a teacher. My life has been made richer because of it.
... the course and its presentation were way out - I mean just really beautiful! ... I can still see things happening and begin to understand why they're happening which is where it's at as far as I'm concerned. The class is the most relevant of all my classes (not to mention the most fun!)
I've come to respect you and admire you as a beautiful human being (there aren't too many of them around any more)
I have taken several courses over the past few years and none have been taught as well as this one. This made me THINK.
This class was totally enjoyable. Becoming aware and realizing whats going on around us and in us is the beginning of a new understanding. Your teaching style and attitude certainly made it all worthwhile.
Incredible class. Enjoyed every minute. Awakened me to reality and gave me a better attitude towards school, work, everything...
... this class gives each person a new idea on how the world and reality really is. Having experienced other teachers I feel that your form of teaching is highly effective as well as interesting. Even if one fails the class one still may even learn something. You teach people how to perceive each other and most of all how to perceive oneself.
The class was pretty intense and required work but it was enjoyable. You couldn't go through this class and not learn something useful. I enjoyed the class very much.
***** (five stars!)
I think the course was very helpful. Even though I'll be getting a low C (I hope) in the class, I think I've really learned a lot of what was taught. The homeworks are a good idea, although I did not always take advantage of them.
Absolutely superb course. Teaching method was excellent. Talking to friends about their pscyh courses w/ other profs showed me I was actually learning more information in a more useful and applicable. I have recommended Psych w/ COhen to people looking for electives. I even told my Mom (who already had Psych) to take you just becaues your course was really effective. Bravo! Keep it up.
WOW!!
Outstanding class. Best I ever had.
But what does it all mean?
This has been an eye-opening semester. I can only compare it to early in life when I learned the alphabet. Keep up the good work.
Your sense of humor and willingness to help made the class interesting and worth looking forward to. There are people that love your class and prople tha hate and no one in between. Those that hate it are those that couldn't grasp the concepts and wouldn't do the work.
This was an excellent course. I enjoyed it thoroughly ... informative but light and informal enough that it kept a hold of eveybody's attention.
Thank you. Well thought out and well presented. The course has accelerated my putting together a working model of my mind, my psyche and my interactions and resulted in a noticeable improvement in my interactions with myself and with others in both my personal and my professional life. Thank you.
