Reviews of professor Michael Caie

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
one of my most laidback courses. only three 500 word papers and open-book take home exams that were relatively easy! lectures summed up most of the readings and we used a contemporary textbook, so the readings weren't difficult to understand like most philosophy texts.

Michael's ppt slides is absolutely terrifying, anyone who can use computer would do better. And the lecture is very confusing and hard to understand, If you wanna get good marks, I suggest put the main focus on the reading. It's more important to do the reading than going to the lecture, if you wanna get good marks.

ridiculously low word count limits on all assignments. 750 words insufficient for assignment parameters. it's crazy to have a 40 word limit on exam questions. 

ok lecturer, but it's crazy that he has such strict word limits considering how long his slideshows are (300+ slide). king, you do not need slides for each transition. i am begging you.

Talks way too fast and doesnt post lecture slides. Video record or voice record if possible. He only reads off his slides rarely says anything outside the slides. His tests are basically all from lecture but supplemented by reading. Focus on necessary and sufficient causes for theories

I'm reviewing Dr. Caie for PHL345 which is on advanced logic (i.e. different than PHl232). The course requires a lot of reading and problem solving (YES, problem solving in a philosophy course!). However, what makes it really good is that it comes with no finals, four assignments;so if you put in work, chances are you end up with really high marks.
