He is GOATED. If you don't get an A or B in this class it's your fault, he makes it so easy for you.

Quite literally the easiest class I've ever taken but honestly so boring. If you're looking to fill your area F GE this is your class.1 paper and 3 mandatory concerts with a super easy write up after. Cooley was an interesting dude- he didn't really lecture much and would have guests often but when he did it was always a little odd but he is sweet.

he was so so boring during lecture. its an easy class due to it just being attendance and an 800 word paper, plus 3 outside concerts. but at the cost of snooze fest lecture. just sit in the back and zone out and attend section and youll be good

Ezz class but he doesnt have a clear rubric and you just gotta ask ur TA to help if you want a guidline. Dont even have to rlly pay attention in class either since its mainly off 3 concerts u attend and an essay at the end and then a section project

Really chill class, lots of guest speakers in lecture, tracked attendance but really light workload, one 800 word paper and final presentation, no tests or quizzes, overall was a good GE experience

Such an easy class. Don't get me wrong, annoying at times, but so simple. The reading notes suck for the first half of the class. Other than that all you have to do are the 2 group presentations and 2 group papers, then just show up to class and act engaged. He primarily grades on completion. Very, very chill prof and class for the most part.
