Reviews of professor Jeff Bagwell

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I personally really enjoyed Jeff during Phil4 (winter 2020); his lectures were concise in my opinion and the exams reflected his material, with some slight extra studying. He is also a sweet and slightly quirky man; maybe the ones who had a problem with him are just miserable? I did not attend every lecture but still received As on the exams

This class is interesting and pretty easy. Jeff keeps class interesting with polls and discussion mixed into lecture. He leaves lots of time for questions (this can sometimes make class drag on a bit but is also helpful at times) and is super accessible. If you apply yourself this class won't be a problem at all.

Jeff Bagwell is new to teaching, speaks slowly, and has an uncanny ability to make interesting material so boring you fall asleep. The iclicker questions are unnecessary, the sections are a waste of time, and the tests are easy but weirdly worded. One unforgettable test question argued against Gandhi. But hey, it's easy.

Great Professor! I am taking PHI 227 (I didn't have the option to pick PHI 227), but we meet one day a week and discuss the readings. We have easy weekly quizzes on the readings, and we have to write 6 4-5 page essays before the final. He is very understanding, and a nice professor.

The PHIL 100B taught by him is the worst philosophy course I have ever taken. I received an A in the PHIL 100A course. The PHIL 100B is difficult not because of its course material but the quality of his teaching. For most of the time, he does not even understand certain major themes.
