Reviews of professor Christian Early

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Early is the nicest professor, but it is almost impossible to get an A on quizzes and essays. He gives comments like "excellent" and "great work" but still gives a B with no explanation. To get an A would be next-level work.

Dr. Early is definitely one of my favorite professors at JMU. He is super caring and cares about his students. However, you do have to read a lot for each class, but I just skimmed over the readings and I did okay on the quizzes. The essays did take me some time, but I met with him for each one and it definitely helped me a lot! I 100% recommend!

Professor Early is a great professor. His lectures are deeply interesting, and he is really funny. He's a bit of a tough grader, but he doesn't take off points unnecessarily. It's also a good amount of reading, but they're not that difficult, and the books are interesting. He is also extremely caring and understanding. I definitely recommend him!

The class is very lecture heavy but Dr Early makes the lectures interesting! Attendance is mandatory but you get 3 free absences. He is a very chill guy, if you explain what's going on he won't take off extra points for some missed classes.

While attendance is mandatory, you can miss three days without penalty. There is lots of readings outside of class, but I barely read and still did fine. He is a great guy and I really enjoyed this class. Definitely one of the easier philosophy professors.

Professor Early is a nice person but overall he was not a great professor. This class is not an easy A by any means. He is a tough grader and would rarely give out As on assignments. He is not really clear on grading and it was frustrating because you can do a paper and believe you have everything from the rubric but then he takes points off.

You don't use a textbook, instead, you have 2 small actual books. Overall not a bad class, just a few things are graded so if you don't do well, your grade will tank fast. Quizzes are fairly easy to do well on (open note) but he grades hard for the two essays you have to do.

I absolutely love professor Early. He really cares about all of his students and is the nicest professor Ive ever had. Theres a lot of reading with this corse so make sure that you stay on top of it if you plan on taking Early. The essays are pretty easy as long as you kept up with the readings and he grades pretty easy.

Had no clue what we were learning about in class but he is a great person. He tells you right away that you most likely won't have an A in his class so don't take this if you're looking for an easy A.

HE cares about his students and is willing to help, but boy is he a hard grader. His essays make no sense and you need to spend hours on them to get a b at most. His quizzes are really hard for no reason
