Reviews of professor Hans Pedersen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Probably the worst professor to teach a philosophy course. The professor shows zero enthusiasm during lectures and discussion; lets the vocal liberal students 'run the show' causing lectures to get out of hand, ultimately resulting in little exchange of ideas. Steer clear of this professor and subject  although it's the lesser of two evils...

Prof. Pederson was fantastic. I really was not looking forward to this class, but he made it bearable. The book is required, grading is based off of homework responses to the book and tests. Not a lot of points, but the content isn't that hard. Would really recommend for anyone, would love to take one of his classes again.

Had him for Honors Unit A Philosophy and he was really good. there was a decent load of homework due but nothing too hard as long as you stayed on top of it. would definitely recommend for honors.

Pedersen was a good professor who teaches very well. All of the study material you need to pass the class is in class discussion, so don't miss a day. No cumulative final, no cumulative final, no group work. You just read a bunch of articles and he teaches you how to interpret it. Good class.

Great professor. His lectures are very engaging, and moreover you leave feeling like you learned valuable information beyond just studying for an exam. Would definitely recommend.

Really nice and funny. Tells interesting stories and has a lot of knowledge. The class is pretty easy if you show up and pay attention. He puts the notes online but if you show up his explanations help a lot. Highly recommend this professor if you have to take this class.

I know this does not make sense that I say "Easy A", but received a D. I believe Professor Pedersen was approachable and understanding with his workload. I had a horrible semester when I took this course, and I let my emotions get the best of me, but that does not affect how I view Professor Pedersen. I suggest taking him for this course.

Dr. Pedersen was easily my favorite professor throughout the whole semester. He has a great attitude and a good sense of humor, keeps discussions going at a good pace, and is very easygoing with his quizzes and homework (which really aren't difficult). Great guy, great teacher

He's a good guy and a good teacher. Didn't like how he made participation out of a 100 points and that you start out at a 0% in the course practically, because it's one of the first things added in your grades. very whack. its not too hard to bring up, but he is the only prof i had do that. lets not try to be different hans!
