Reviews of professor Ben Phillips

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Loved Phillips. I really enjoyed his lectures which is wild because I never go to my other classes. He was good at engaging the class and I would definitely take any other classes he's teaching.

PHI 314 (not listed)- This is the best class I've taken at ASU so far! I found Dr. Phillips to be entertaining and insightful, and his accent was easy to listen to. His personal research is very interesting as well.

Not a difficult class if you do the readings and carefully listen to the lectures and take good notes.  Unit quizzes can be tricky because of how the questions are worded.  Take home final exam required through understanding of the material, but not excessively though.  Do the work, you'll do well, but this isn't a class you can skate through.

Metaphysics was one of my favorite philosophy classes. Ben makes the topics so interesting and easy to understand. The readings are very manageable and his lectures really help you make sure you are understanding the readings. Weekly quizzes can be challenging and the final paper can seem daunting but Ben gives you all the info you need to succeed

Easiest professor ever. You never have to come to class but sitting through his lectures is actually enjoyable & I hate school so this means a lot coming from me. No homework, no class work. Just 3 exams(so easy) your 3rd exam is your final and it is NOT accumulative. you have 5 quizzes that are 8 questions each (also so easy). Phillips is SO cool!

Took Sullivan for philosophy 101, your grade is 3 tests and 5 quizzes. You can use the lecture slides for the quizzes, and the tests are a simple knowledge check. He tells you exactly what you need to know before the exams. No final, fair grading. Would recommend taking. Lectures are interesting and use practical appliances of concepts.

There are 5 simple assignments that you may complete at your own pace then there's the paper which you must also turn in an abstract for. READ BEFORE CLASS so you actually have things to say in the group discussion. Participation in class is a grade but if you are shy you can get this by our partner discussions

PHI 314: Extremely easy class, just put in a little effort. The material was actually interesting and you can tell he cares about his students being involved and learning, not just grades. Highly recommend.

His class was interesting and it was easy to pay attention because his accent is cool. He teaches philosophy in a good way and actually made me change my major. His tests are the study guides basically word for word so if you do them you should get an A. the req readings are not essential so dont read them if you dont want too
