Professor Cohen is courteous, but also deadpan and not too engaging. For this class, which Prof Cohen taught on "the literary essay", he didn't assign much of anything at all, and for what he did assign, he graded fairly easily. I expect to finish with either an A or A-. It was boring, but through the discussions around the texts and feedback on my papers (750-1000 words, creative writing, a breeze), I did learn a little.
