The most inspirational professor I've had in my entire college career. He is funny, engaging and extremely knowledgeable in economy, political science, geography and history. In other words, he is a walking encyclopedia. Moreover, he genuinely cares about his students and is approachable during office hour. Definitely take a course with him.
Prof. Cohen never disappoints! This was one class that I was never bored in. He always explained current events using the theories and topics we were required to know for his class, so it was an engaging learning experience. Prof. Cohen is very fair when it comes to workload and exams. Best professor in the department, in my opinion.
An AMAZING professor (and apparently one of the forefathers of IPE??)!! He only has one or two slides per lecture and that's all you need. His lectures are clear, easy to follow, and overall interesting. He is also gives these really funny/adorable anecdotes mid-lecture. I love him AND this class!
One of my favorite professors I've ever had in both the PoliSci department and at UCSB as a whole. He starts lecture off by letting us ask him about anything going on in current events. He is extremely knowledgable and has so much experience in his field so it's such a great chance to hear a professionals insights. I've learned a lot from his class
Professor Cohen is such an amazing man. Genuinely knowledgable in his field! I actually learned in his class.
Cute old grandpa educating the young on soul crushing international institutions.
Take this class! This has been by far the most interesting class i've taken at UCSB. Dr. Cohen is a great professor. He is always wiling to answer questions, is very intelligent, and makes his lectures easy to understand and interesting. I gained a lot from this class.
Such an incredibly knowledgeable man. You could ask him about any current event or topic in IPE and he will tell you everything there is to know about it. We are lucky to have him as a professor at UCSB. Definitely recommend this class.
EXCELLENT professor! Incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable. Knew everything there is to know about IPE- could ask him anything and he knew it off the top of his head. Funny and nice. Can tell he really cares about the class and making sure his students understand the material. Best professor I've had. UCSB is lucky to have him!
This is one of the greatest professors I have encountered at UCSB and I am a senior. I highly recommend taking his class and going to office hours to pick his brain. He is so intelligent and he also has some entertaining life stories. I wish I could have him as a professor again.
Love love Prof. Cohen! So knowledgable on IPE, and is great at making challenging topics clear for students! Go to lecture, pay close attention, and take close notes abc you will be fine for both tests and the paper! I do wish he taught other classes so I could take a class with him again.
Professor Cohen is seriously amazing, and is absolutely the best professor I have had at UCSB! He is so nice, funny, and knowledgeable.
