Reviews of professor Falcon Milazzo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor is extremely opinionated. I strongly disagree with many of the things he says, but it doesn't feel like a safe space to respectfully argue any of these points. Sometimes, some of the ideas he is instilling in myself and the rest of my classmates seem dangerous for society. Cuts off classmates when they challenge him.

DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. Lots of readings and if you forget to read he takes points off. Only quizzes and half the stuff is not in the readings or talked about in class. One absence is 5 points off your attendance grade which makes a difference. Lectures in a socratic method; basically whatever he wants to talk about that day.

I cannot emphasize this enough: do not take this or any other class with this professor. He claims to lecture by "Socratic method," which initially interested me, but instead proved to simply be an excuse to ramble - and then decide your grade by poorly-worded tests that only tangentially involve the lecture and reading material.

He's a really interesting person and gives really interesting lectures. Makes good jokes, but its up to you whether that is worth the immense amount of reading you'll be doing. You have weekly readings and quizzes and you won't be able to make up one you missed. Make sure you take notes and don't be on your phone. He will call you out.

Falcon has a huge fan club, but he's simply not a good teacher. If you sign up for his class, read the syllabus and you will see what I mean. Frustratingly obtuse man with no problem being "tough" (but not really tough, just irrespobsible)

He only talks for an hour and a half with no power point, although sometimes he writes on the board, his hand witting and spelling is so atrocious that you can't even read it.The lectures and readings either have nothing to do with what's on the test or aren't as specific as the questions asked.

I liked him a lot.

He's very opinionated, has a large personality, and the Socratic Method he employs results in a lot of debates.

*But* I'm personally interested in philosophy, enjoy verbal sparring, and had a light enough course load to keep up with the readings. 

If those don't apply to you, I would recommend taking with someone else.

I took the class online - therefore no attendance; HOWEVER he did offer extra credit if you attend lecture recordings but be ready to participate. Lectures cover most testing and quizzing material. Material is very difficult if you've never taken a Phi class before. A lot of dense reading, but always feel free to ask him questions.
