Reviews of professor Stephen Ferguson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is a PhD student who teaches intro to Philosophy and I had him during the fall semester. Although he comes off as nice, he makes his class a lot harder than it should be by grading harshly on our papers. I also felt like his feedback weren't helpful. Cs and Bs are typical His office hours are so extremely limited as he is a PhD student himself.

Very nice and approachable guy. If you hate reading intensive courses and paying close attention in class you should avoid him. If you fall behind in the reading you WILL do badly on the papers, since he grades them harshly based on your knowledge of the text. He does give some easy homework though.

He is an amazing professor but is an extremely difficult grader. It's impossible to get above a 90 in his paper. He gives hw every week, there is a total of 6 papers. If you don't like philosophy, this isn't the class for you. He is always accessible outside of class, but it still won't help you get an A in the class.

Too hard for an international student and I didn't get enough time for his papers! Stay away if English isn't your first language!!!

Prof. Ferguson is a hidden gem. Gives little 10 point reading assignments that are easy grade boosters to help you out. No final, no midterm, just a few short essays. Does pose questions you need to spend some time thinking about, and does give dense readings. Super approachable and relates to the students really well and wants you to do well.
