Winter 2024 - Professor Cohen definitely cares a lot about his students success. He rounded me up from a 93.73 (A-) to a 94 (A) immediately and I didn't even have to ask. He is a pretty generous grader on the essays and he marked all of the mistakes on rough drafts for our first two essays, but he can be a little nitpick with points at times which can come back to hurt your grade. We also had to watch "Pan's Labyrinth" to write our final essay, which I found to be a pretty disturbing movie. Overall though, I think Professor Cohen is a great guy who really cares about his students and their success. I never took advantage of his office hours, but I wish I had, as I bet he would've been really helpful.

Fall 2017 - I loved taking this class with Professor Cohen. He is a great professor and encourages all of his students to participate. by fostering a friendly and collaborative classroom environment. Before taking this class I was not very interested in film and was intimidated by the subject material, but I really enjoyed this class. A warning: his midterm was surprisingly difficult and he was really disappointed in our scores. That's because the wording of his questions are confusing and some were opinion based. He expected us to remember small details that he had mentioned in class early on in the quarter. My advice is to: 1) Do all the readings and know them well because he gave us direct quotes and asked us to identify the authors, even though we did not really go over them in class. 2) Take really good notes during class and review them well before the test 3) Listen really carefully to what he says will be on the test because he will give you some answers the lectures before the exam Don't worry too much though, Cohen is really helpful and as long as you watch all the films and pay attention in class you'll be fine.
