Really wants you to learn but very hard grader

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. McCarthy is a nice guy, but his Philosophy of Religion class was terrible. Had MAYBE 3 lectures all semester. Had a final, which everyone in the class proceeded to fail. Had three big writing assignments; no real structure on any of them. Graded strictly with minimal guidance on the final paper, which we had in addition to the final exam.

Awesome professor, awesome guy. He gives quality feedback in a timely fashion. No, attendance is not required (at least in my case); however, skipping class can make you miss out on key concepts. Plus, the lectures are interesting and engaging. Don't do the projects last minute and expect a good grade. Weekly homework assignments. Highly recommend.

Only 5 grades in the class. Very confusing instructions, and if your papers arent tailored to his exact specifications and how he wants them, then youre getting a bad grade. Overall, the lectures werent terrible, just very boring in my personal opinion. The readings are either great or terrible, no in between.
