Reviews of professor Blake Phillips

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
be aware of false promises w extra credit. they'll jus add 5pts to the weekly assignments (105/100) despite how much effort u exert. tough graders who say anything is fair game including the movie. they don't help much w studying. quizzes are science heavy like we're tryna be doctors all for 2 credits. lectures+readings are boring. don't bother

All we do in class is watch documentaries. Attendance is mandatory. For the midterm they gave no guidelines or specific directions, just to "design a proposal and visual for a cannabis expo" -- yet it was graded very toughly. Not enough graded assignments and no opportunities for extra credit, so I'm stuck getting a B in this ridiculous course.

Genuinely one of the worst classes I have taken at NYU so far. I have plenty of 4 credit courses that were much easier and more interesting than this 2 credit. Save yourself the stress and take a different class. Scroll a little and you'll find a ton of raters who felt the same way. All the 5 star reviews are vague.

one word: terrible. No empathy and just the opposite from inspiring. Terrible tone and made false promises to students who needed help - check the other reviews it will confirm that he is a waste of money to take a class with.

Prof Phillips is very knowledgeable and very good at representing complex material in a organized and efficient manner. Be sure to do all the readings since the quizzes are heavily reading based. Him and Prof Nayak are very respectful and accommodating of their students, as much as professors can be. I really enjoy this class and would recommend!

He gives a lot a hw for a two credit class and lots of readings as if students are only taking two classes when the average nyu student take 4/5 classes that are 4 credits. Besides that he is not that bad.

This was by far the worst professor I have ever taken in my college career. If you're on the fence, DO NOT take any classes with him. 0/10 would recommend.
