Reviews of professor Karin Boxer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Boxer is very fair with grading and allows rewrites which is great. She definitely has strong opinions about certain topics but tries to acknowledge opposing points. She urges everyone to participate in discussions and it can really help your grade along with turning in weekly journals on time. Best not to choose broad topics for papers.

Prof Boxer is very nice and caring, but the lectures are extremely dense and not enough discussions. I think just reading the articles would be similar to going to class, and the grading is sometimes unclear. While she does care about her students, her office hours are not too helpful so you might have to teach yourself some material.

I do not agree with the other reviews of this professor; maybe she changed the format of the class upon reading reviews because discussion is fair and balanced. The course material is pretty interesting, ranging from permissibility of abortion to organ donation. Important to keep in mind this is a philosophy course so the readings can be very dense
