Reviews of professor Luc Bovens

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Bovens is very nice, he is very accessible for questions or chats. He is a little cringy with his constant joke making but he means well. The class isn't hard. a lot of reading but you don't need to do all of it, a couple essays and a final project/presentation. I recommend especially since it's a fys so kinda a once in a lifetime opportunity

Professor Bovens is a great lecturer, you can tell how much he enjoys the subject. A couple of papers, midterm and final in bluebook, which are a little difficult but not impossible if you study beforehand. Would recommend taking any class with him. Your paper grades depend on the TA, but you get to choose paper topic.

Luc Bovens is a good professor and he seems to like what he teaches. The class is composed of a few HW assignments, two essays, and two exams (which is the perfect setup in my opinion). He also offers EC which is helpful. He has said some questionable things in class but overall, I definitely recommend this course and this professor.

Prof. Bovens gives great lectures. The format of this class was perfect since he provides the ppt and records lectures, although he doesn't post them until later. The exams were super straightforward to study for since he provides a list of questions he chooses from when making them. Go to lecture and do the readings and discussion posts!

Overall very sweet and understanding guy! Your grade consists of 15 short discussion posts graded for completion, 2 short papers graded a little harsher, an easy midterm, and a final. You can even get 0.5-2 extra credit points toward your final grade by attending 1-4 PPE events throughout the semester. You have to put some work in but very doable!

I enjoyed the topics Professor Bovens covered, but often felt that he was lost when teaching or didn't realize what he was supposed to be covering. I still feel that he was a worthwhile professor to take, but it was a bit confusing at times.

 I had Professor Bovens for Phil 80 and he was very kind and caring. He was excited about the material and did his best to engage everyone. Encourages you to attend his office hours, which I found very helpful. He graded fairly and gave good feedback on papers. Take him if you can!

This class is pretty straightforward and not very difficult. The grade is 2 papers, class attendance, participation in recitation, completing forum posts, a midterm, and the final. Exams are pretty easy if you study some and Professor Bovens gives a list of all potential questions that will be on the exams beforehand.
