Reviews of professor Daniel Collette

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Honestly he was super lenient with late work, but that was the only thing I really liked about this course. He showed up 10 minuets late most days and our assignments felt like busy work. Also the lectures felt very scattered and unprepared. He's a nice guy, just not a stellar prof.

He's a loving and caring professor but he lectures forever, we have a lot of papers to turn in and the readings were unnecessarily long and boring. He is an easy grader but I was not interested in that class and would not do the work so I got a low grade. There wasn't any tests so just turning in reading notes and short papers will get you a pass.

Great professor and great at communicating. Class relies on readings and participation, but he gives you all the readings so you don't have to buy books. Would recommend!

Collette was an interesting guy. Every class you needed to have submitted reading notes and the activity he assigns. Never really ended class early. Lots of short essays but if you get the point across you get full points. His class was before lunch and maybe that's why I didn't enjoy it. Not a bad teacher but I feel like I didn't learn anything.

One of the most useless classes I've ever taken and the professor makes students do way too much work than a normal philosophy teacher would. Class is very unorganized and repetitive and boring. Homework for the class is very tedious and irrelevant. Highly recommend staying away from taking PHIL 1001 with Dr. Collette.

I understand COVID-19 made school a lot more difficult for both students and professors. However, this course was a joke. I think we had lectures 3 times throughout the entire semester, and the other times were cancelled. There was an extreme lack of effort put into this course. Easy A, though.

Before each class you will read and submit reading notes. There are a good amount of activities and short essays that you do in and out of class. As long as you put in the effort, you will pass this class easily. Most of the readings are short and in class he talks about each one and the meaning behind it. Very interesting class and teacher.

Dr. Collette is a very nice person, and it's obvious that he cares a lot about his students. However, the class kind of all over the place, and it wasn't always clear what assignments were due or what the expectations were for certain assignments. The class was pretty easy overall, but it was a bit frustrating at times since it was so disorganized.

Let me preface this: I SUCK AT PHILOSOPHY. The material is impossible for me to fully grasp and understand, but that doesn't matter when it comes to Daniel. He MAKES SURE everyone is comfortable with the material and knows how to get help. He cares about students' success and it shows with his great lectures and clear grading criteria. Take him
