Reviews of professor Matt DeStefano

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
DeStefano is a good person: very accessible, gives great feedback, quite friendly, but it's less him and more that they got a busy graduate student to teach the course. This is the first philosophy course I've ever taken and it's absolutely not an introduction, one of the papers gave me a headache so strong I gave up and took 20% on a unit quiz.

First of all, this guy is not a professor. He is a grad student looking for a power trip. Honestly, I don't understand why this class is necessary for the NSCS major. He is not easy to get a hold of through emails or office hours. He cancels most of the time. Gives no instruction for the essay so you kind of fly by the seed of your pants, badly.

Grade consist of easy discussions, one paper, but quizzes that are difficult even if you do the readings. You really have to understand the material to do well on these quizzes. Paper was hard to write given that no criteria was given, but gives you the option to re-write it. Video lectures were nice. Material was extremely boring, though.

Philosophy is already a boring topic but this class just made it worse. The quizzes were a tad difficult because the questions didn't make sense. Also, no feedback on the discussion board, so the paper was difficult to write. The paper can be submitted twice, but the feedback was not too helpful.
