Reviews of professor Johannes Lagerweij

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Class isn't the worst, but also not the best either. Class is centered around group discussions, which can get dull. HW assignments are light, and he is not a tough grader on the 3 essays you write over the sem. Final and midterm cover a lot of material, and he grades tough, but the overall scale is forgiving. Nice guy, but boring class.

The way he grades assignments is odd, and makes it pretty hard to do well in exams. He doesn't assign much to read, but it is absolutely crucial that you read what he assigns. Pay attention in class (or make friends that do). VERY INTERESTING CONTENT. The readings were often very engaging, and the authors we read were very relevant.

Professor Lagerweij is a very interesting man and you will be pleasently confused by his anticts. Every class without fail his samsung galaxy 12 goes off and he continues without any mention of it. If your looking for a teacher that will make you look for other classmates for affirmation to laugh then your in the right place.

Johannes is extremely knowledgeable in his subject area and if you're interested in philosophy, then I would take him. He is the best LS professor I've had so far. Lectures and readings are also very interesting. Easy grading for essays if you can write clearly. Gives study guide. Grading is standard for letter based system.

He is so nice. Just an amazing professor. There are barely any homework submissions, all you have to do is the readings, which are not hefty at all, and are pretty interesting. Go to class because everything you need for the exams comes from class discussions. He gives us the exam questions before hand and picks random ones to put on the test day.

There are readings before class that you then have to then paraphrase in groups- if you make an error while doing so he tends to talk over you. The class isn't very demanding and is pretty easy, just make sure to take notes and pay attention because all of it is important for the final- which he gives a clear study guide for.

His instruction for each essay is very clear and you can still ask him any questions about the essay outside class. You will definitely get a good final grade as long as you work hard. Also, he is really an inspiring and caring professor, always making sure that everyone understands what he has said in class.

Please don't trust the other high ratings. This guy is extremely boring. Speak very quietly and does not teach in a logical way. Those who enjoyed it was probably big in to philosophy and will end with working at Starbucks.
