Reviews of professor Adam Israel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Brilliant professor. No powerpoint presentations and keeps the class indulged in the discussions. He is accommodating, clear, and hilarious. Do your assignments and get an easy A

Terrible at getting back to your emails. If you are even a minute late he will mark you absent. Even if you miss class for medical reasons he will not mark it as excused. Tried to put blame on me for handing in work 'weeks late' when it never was. basically just do your work and put your head down around him. good luck

Great Professor. Very enthusiastic. Im terrible at philosophy and took this just for a gen ed, and I didn't think I would end up getting in A. Show him you care about this class: show up and participate, go to office hours, read even if you don't understand it. A good way to do well is relating philosophy to outside topics such as current events.

Best Professor Ever! Had him for E&M and he makes the lectures really interesting and keeps everyone involved. Its a lot of reading but he explains and breaks everything down in class. Only a midterm and final ( both take home). Homework is a one page response to a question about the reading. CITE EVERYTHING & you'll do great. Israel is amazing !

He was okay, wouldn't take him again just because of how boring he is. He questions everything it's insane. Okay guy, answers your questions, but is a harsh grader that makes you work for your grade. Make sure you participate and that you come to class on time.

Adam blew my mind with his approach to Phi. Religion. His lectures were extremely intuitive, creative, entertaining, & respectful. There for you & urges you to go to office hours. Quirky, dresses like a hipster millennial. He's easily my favorite Prof. at AU along with Matt Konig. Warning: READ, PARTICIPATE, DO THE ASSIGNMENTS, & CITE EVERYTHING!

Latin American Philosophy was a great learning experience for me as I developed more critical thinking skills due to Israel's amazing and student-inclusive lectures. Overall I was very pleased with these professor and felt like he made class enjoyable by being friendly and professional. I highly recommend this professor, but be ready to read!
