Reviews of professor Carl Hammer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
PHIL171 not 2110

Carl is a super fun and very informative professor to have throughout the semester. The class had a weekly discussion post and 4 essays due throughout the semester. His expectations were reasonable for a college student, and his lectures were incredibly informative. He is clearly passionate about his subjects which was engaging.

Professor Hammer will self deprecate if the class doesn't have their cameras on during Zoom lectures; "Well I guess since no one is listening to me this is all pointless". He's personable, wise and has created a great course curriculum. I genuinely learned a lot. You have to do the readings to get good quiz scores. Don't half-ass the essays either.

I think the online meetings were more of an overview of the week's material with some class discussion. Similar to the lecture videos. I enjoyed his rambles and his humor made me engaged in the chapter lectures and class meetings. A good grader with good feedback. The coursework was very organized and the essays really make you think.

TAKE ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS! Great professor. Definitely take any of his classes. We did have a text book but I honestly got away with borrowing it from the library so with that in mind if you are a procrastinator then get the textbook. YOU WILL READ A LOT. He goes on a lot of tangents so the lectures go all over the place but insightful.
