I didn't expect to enjoy this class but I began to look forward for his classes. This class opened my mind to a new way of thinking.

Dr. Butler is a really good prof. I took his online class and the material was fairly easy and understandable. This class consisted about 3-4 discussion posts and quiz assignments, and an easy test. I don't really know what else to say but he just really came through with this course and responds to emails quickly. Easy A plus you learn a lot.

He was okay. We had to read a lot and his lectures were long and (at least for me) hard to understand. Most of the books we were supposed to read were complicated (or maybe Im just stupid). I thought I was good at writing essays but I could never get past a B. Really tough grader. Getting an A is doable tho, quizzes were super easy and short.

Easy class, some concepts are a little hard to grasp but really just need to look up more examples. Took online during summer 2 quizes a week multiple chances and 1 discussion post and a final exam that you can open and close. provides pdfs for all readings.

Gives us lectures online which are about 15 minutes at the most. Let's you use your notes on quizzes, you can take quizzes as many times as you want, you also need to do a discussion board and reply to about 2-3 people in the class. This class is not stressful and the professor is great. Would definitely recommend for an A.

He is such a good person and even a greater professor. Very accomodating! Not too heavy of material, but, I learned so much and really enjoyed this class. I plan on taking him again soon!

I don't know where people are getting that he's giving quizzes and take home notes. With my class it's only essays and readings. I like his teaching style and he explains most points well enough. He tries to be relatable so that's cool too. We have 3 essays for the entire class and a few readings every week from a book, it's nothing too crazy.

Overall he is an okay professor. He only gives out essays for the entire semester and does not explain well enough about what he expects. I was interested in his lectures but he tends to ramble and get off topic. He is a tough grader and expects you to have a similar point of view as him so beware.
