Reviews of professor Phillip Lewis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Pretty cool professor. Textbook is the driest book you'll ever read. Tbh, it's really only helpful for the final paper. Exams are primarily based on the lectures, so definitely show up to class. There's a learning curve for this class, but primarily study the lecture notes and you'll be just fine.

Only grades in the class are from 5 exams. Your expected to read a lot out of the textbook and the lectures are death by powerpoint.

Your grade is made of 5 multiple choice exams, as long as you go to lectures, pay attention and take notes you'll have no problem passing. Most of the questions on the exam are word for word the same as what's presented in the slides. He doesn't post his slides on blackboard, so you really do have to go to class if you want to know whats going on

Phil Lewis knows what he is teaching and makes the lectures easy to understand to show how each chapter is intertwined. You do need to study for this class because you are graded on 5 tests and that's it. However, the textbook does help make anything you missed or are unsure of, clear. Overall great class and professor, so I would take it again.

took this class fall 2019, he would give us class work once in a while which would be graded and counted toward your course grade. Readings were light and the work based on it was too.

Professor has a strict no phones policy, which would be fine but he will stop class to call you out if he notices you are on your phone. It is a distraction and is very annoying. He assigns a chapter of reading per week, you do not really have to read if you go to lectures and study before the exam. Tests are easy but there are only 5 of them.
