Very cool, humorous and very clear. Hawt
Great professor, highly recommended.
best PS teacher i have had at ucsb. he is brilliant and let's students bring up current events before every lecture. meet with him in office hours and he will open your mind to some wild phenomena of intl economy. definitely take his class if you are into poly sci/global economy
Professor Cohen was awesome! I was nervous about the class at first, but he explained everything so well and with such enthusiasm that it turned out to be great! The test and papers were straightforward/not that hard. I had very little background in econ, but I still did very well. I'm going to miss Prof Cohen's anecdotes about avacado farming!
He knows a great deal about the material he is teaching and is good about helping students understand it. Grading in the course is fairly easy but may depend on the discretion of the TA. Textbook readings are useless if you take good notes and understand the professor. Readings from the reader are a must and really help on assignments and exams.
He's certainly very knowledgeable and experienced with this material. His lectures are good, not the easiest on the attention span, but he's articulate. Test and paper questions are kinda difficult to write about. Some stuff in this course seems inaccessible to a student with no econ background. Still a worthwhile course to take.
he is amazing !!! you will learn so much in this class, the class is not very hard if you go to lecture and take good notes ! BEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN !
I would definitely recommend Cohen to any political science majors interested in political economy. Very knowledgeable and crystal clear in his lectures. Be prepared to go to his office, can be tough. But Great Overall!
Awesome professor!!! Very inspiring,knows everything about every country in the world-- makes me want to go to grad school...
He's already forgotten more about IPE then you will ever know. Extremely intelligent while simultaneously being a great lecturer. Class consists of two papers, participation and the final. Overall a good class.
took the class, enjoyed lecture very much. however, i had jovian as a TA, which wasn't so good. he spoke to us like we were all grad students in economics, just like him, and graded papers similarly. oh well, good class, and ol' B.J. Cohen kinda rules school.
Extremely knowledgeable and makes economics interesting and clear. He is a hard grader, but he only wants to push you to do your best. Highly Recommended.
Cohen was great. He knew his sh** and I got an A in the class by working hard, but it was definitely interesting and worth the effort.
best international politics class at UCSB
