Reviews of professor John Forman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class involved a decent amount of reading, but no more than any other advanced course. The philosophical readings were a bit hard to decipher initially, but Dr. Forman's lectures make them easy to understand. He responds to emails quickly and cares about student success. You have to work for your A though and produce quality work.

I won't lie, this class is hard. It's difficult because of the material. A lot of people don't seem to understand that and expect the professor to spell it out letter by letter. People are mad because he was tired of being walked over and finally enforced his syllabus. If you put in the effort you'll be okay. He's actually pretty funny, and nice.

The professor is very passionate and he is a nice guy. However, the class is TOUGH. If you put in the work you will pass but it is not an easy A. No textbooks, you will have to buy a book but it is less than 20 dollars. You will choose a topic and build on the same topic throughout the semester. Final paper is very tough as well.

I would not recommend this professor to anyone. He was so rude, not accessible outside of class, not approachable or easy to talk to, his teaching did not make sense whatsoever, what we talked about in class, and nothing to do with what our papers were about, and the notes we needed, he didn't post because he "didnt want us using his material"

This professor actually says thank you when you email him questions. He never once spoke down to me or made me feel dumb for asking something. The syllabus clearly lays out the deadlines. If you stay on top of what you are supposed to be doing and communicate you won't have any problems.

So, Dr. Forman is a bit pretentious. But, personality aside, he is an excellent professor and genuinely cares. Responds to questions and explains. Do not blow off the class. If online, make sure you actually watch lectures, take detailed notes. Will save your rear when its term paper time. I give him an A. Challenging and fun.
