Easiest class I've ever taken at UCSB. Cooley is a simple and fun guy; there's only a two things you need to do to get an A+: 1. Participate. Act Excited. Show you're engaged in some way. He'll love you immediately. 2. Be on top of group work. Every Cooley class is group project heavy. They're super easy, but you have to do them.

Professor Cooley was one of my favorites while at UCSB. Gave me a ton of help in working on my senior thesis. Would absolutely have taken more classes with him given the opportunity.

He means well, but he's kind of boring, and spends time most lectures going over some personal story related to music. Lots of pop quizzes. Also be warned, this class only spends about the last 2 weeks on more recent pop culture, the class covered pop culture throughout all music history, kinda disappointing.

Great teacher for a small class! He encouraged discussion and was very helpful. The concepts were challenging but the class itself was pretty easy. No tests, and easy essays.

MUS114 . Cooley T 12 Years Ago

Stressful because of pop quizzes every 2 weeks but TAs were very helpful. It wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be but it is reasonably eye-opening. I didn't think his sense of humor was as bad as everyone says it is

Horrible prof, reads right off of his notes and is really boring. Slides are not very informative, he goes all over the place. 50% of grade is on pop quizzes, which are poorly written. Success in this class is based on quality of TA. Also, he thinks he is really funny but has a horrible sense of humor.
