Professor Cooper taught the class alongside Dr.Khanken, he is one of the most disengaging professors I have ever taken. He often mumbles and trails off when he speaks, so it's hard to catch some information. He definitely is very knowledgeable about his content, but oftentimes he includes information that is useless and difficult to understand. This is an introductory course, yet I feel like I learn more content with the discussions and OH than I do the actual lecture. If you get him as a professor, it's best to learn the content on your own.

The class material itself was relatively straightforward, if a bit tedious. Unfortunately, Professor Cooper's lectures could either make concepts more or less clear. He tends to go very slowly, often contradicting himself within one sentence. On the plus side, he draws a lot of clarifying diagrams of the concepts he is explaining.

In Winter 2020, this class was co-taught by Dr. Esdin and Dr. Cooper. Dr. Cooper taught the middle half of the course (weeks 2-6), which covered most of the human body systems - nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, etc. I appreciated how Dr. Cooper drew out diagrams for us - it was very helpful for visualizing the parts of the different systems. He definitely knew the material well. However, it would have been better if Dr. Cooper explained the clicker questions better - sometimes it felt like he would show the answer and give little explanation of the answer. Overall, Dr. Cooper was an alright lecturer; you'll definitely need to study a decent amount on your own time to do well in the course.
