Reviews of professor Brian Porter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I had him over the summer. He's a very kind and understanding professor. We got access to BaruchLogic where all the homework is done and that counted for 50% of your grade. The other half was split between the midterm and the final. All the material to read is in BaruchLogic so no textbook. Take the final instead of doing the extra problem sets.

He is amazing! His thought experiments really gets your mind thinking and so do his few assignments. There was a final exam, assignments here and there and a big paper. His lectures however were so thorough and engaging that they were all a breeze. Oh, and he emails his lectures!!!! You won't regret taking any of Professor Porter's classes.

This class made life easier. He rarely takes attendance, prob 2x whole semester. 4 exams + 1 finals. Gives all lecture notes and exam outlines which are all you need to study for easy A. He is very caring, kind, and responsive. He makes philosophy interesting. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about philosophy. Take his class!

I don't know whether he is the best professor in the philosophy department, but he is the best professor I've ever met. This class is an intro to philosophy and I'm shocked by how he concentrates philosophical concepts to make them easily understandable. As long as you pay attention to what he said and take notes, it is not hard at all.

Professor Porter is an amazing teacher! Although he repeats what he says very frequently, this is only to make sure everyone understands his topic. He is very understanding and all around a fantastic professor!

I've taken two philosophy courses at Baruch and I have never appreciated Professor Porter more because he truly made the course interesting and super simple to understand for me. He knows how to teach and keep the class engaged. I highly recommend him if you're trying to get an easy A. He is super nice too!!
