Reviews of professor Patrick Denehy

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class was simple and the materials were not hard, each chapter / topic is around 10 pages. There are weekly discussion board, and 2 exams. The exams were easy, just multiple choice / matching and 2 short essays to write (like 200-300 words). I enjoy this class and it is accessible to someone with no background in metaphysics.

Super relaxed but cared about his students. One quiz per lecture with no specific due date. Super engaged in class. You must read the textbook before lecture because it can become tricky quickly. I would definitely take this professor again. The lectures were engaging but also not intense either. Very low-pressure and understanding-oriented.

Amazing class. The breakdown is weekly quizzes and discussion posts, so as long as you perform well on the quizzes, you will do great. Some of the material gets pretty grey and difficult, but his video lectures make it very easy to follow along. I took this class as a gen-ed elective and would definitely recommend it.

I really liked Pats class. There was a quiz for each chapter, a midterm, and a final but all of them we online and open note. You took them on your own time.

I had him for Philosophy online and he was great. Not much workload at all, only 1 quiz and 1 discussion board a week. The discussions are short and mostly based on your opinion or perspective. The quizzes and exams are easy, mostly based on the textbook and examples and they're not timed. His lectures were audio only and only like 20 min.

Quizzes and discussion board every week, 2 exams. You have unlimited time to complete the quizzes and exams. Prof is super caring, made deadlines flexible with Covid which took the pressure off. Interesting content! Transferred into this class from another Phil 105 class who's teacher was a nightmare, definitely take this guy he's amazing!

Easy class. Book needed for class was an easy read and very interesting. Answers to discussion boards were subjective. Do work as outlined by syllabus and it's an easy A. Quizzes weren't too bad, final was nice summary of everything, reading can become a bit heavy, decent recorded audio lectures were available. Good professor and interesting class.

Adjunct professor of Philosophy department teaching Symbolic Logic - well respected by students in other schools - not accessible outside of class Class was hybrid --> meets one day a week - forms workshop questions significantly more difficult than in-class - does not explain concepts well - does not connect class to logic portion of LSAT
