Reviews of professor Joseph Metz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not the best philosophy teacher the university offers. Metz is not really lenient and could quite frankly care less about personal situations that could impact your performance in the class. The class was very lecture heavy and we often had reading quizzes. If you miss a class, youll have a hard time passing the quizzes. For a gen-ed not the best

This was a great course for any level of philosophy experience. Metz breaks the grades down easy and yes the exams + final are all just essays but he makes it so easy to get an A on them! He's also a great instructor and makes lectures interesting by asking for students opinions on medical ethics debates. Interesting and easy class!

The first professor I have had that doesn't politicize or put their own views in lectures. He teaches what he needs and does a good job of it. His teaching style takes a second to get used to but if you actually engage, you'll catch on fast. He could work on being more confident in teaching, but in general I love his personality!

I actually really enjoyed Metz for feminist philosophy. He can get a tad boring at times but he seems to genuinely love this class and will listen to everybody's opinions. The final was a little intense but it was his first year so he might be changing it. Overall glad I took the class.

I loved his passion for the class. The class is lecture heavy but there is a lot of discussion and he always makes controversial topics feel inclusive to everyone's views. Highly recommend!
