Reviews of professor Alexander Bearden

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you are a student who does not want much work, this probably wont be the class/professor you want. If you put in the effort you will get a good grade. Its definitely not easy by any means but if you do what is asked and follow directions you will be fine. I found his feedback to be helpful. Discussion posts are used heavily.

Professor Bearden is a great professor and you'll get out of this class what you put into it. There is a lot of busywork but if you do the readings it is not hard at all, weekly discussion board posts help with understanding the material if you are confused. Weekly quizzes are hard- and online but help you understand the course material .

Figured a philosophy class would be debate heavy, but never thought it would be so disrespectful. Teacher doesn't teach anything to students and then assigns quizzes that are 6 questions and take 3 hours on average. Says that opinions will be respected as long as they're backed up properly but doesn't respect or fairly grade most opinions. Horrible

Being a philosophy class I expected it to be debate heavy. I didn't expect the debates to be so one sided, disrespectful and toughly graded. Quizzes literally took at least 3 hours on average for only 6 questions and were graded too tough. Teacher claims to respect opinions if backed up well, but doesn't stick by his word. Wouldn't reccomend at all
