Reviews of professor Chapman Waters

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
No.... Do yourself (and him) a favor and do not go near this professor. I would write a more detailed review; however, I can't even begin to put into words how awful of an experience it is with Professor Waters.

This was for philosophy of mathematics. Chapman is great! He's a new professor generally, but he seems to try to experiment with the workload which was really low. The lectures were great and discussion was even better. He was really good at working off the questions students had in class. Very funny guy too!

Chapman is a real character. Entertaining and interesting class to explore new ideas. Somewhat difficult for a 1000 level class, but overall worth it.

Professor Waters was a funny teacher and made it fun to go to class. You need to go to class to pass this course. I did not buy the book but still passed. HIS TESTS ARE NOT ON GOOGLE. Don't think you can look up the answers even though the test are on canvas. Participation makes the class more fun as well. Class consisted of 5 quizzes and 2 exams.

Great instructor and is very quick to provide help if you need it. He did a great job explaining the material and provided a perfect workload to make sure we had the concepts down. Just do the assigned readings and problems, watch the lectures, and this class will be a great experience. He also keeps his lectures fun and entertaining.

This professor is very passionate about philosophy. His class is challenging in the best way possible. The lectures are super funny and interesting. You can tell he puts in a lot of time to prepare for them. He has very clear grading rubrics. Great organization of canvas. Lots of papers, but you have a lot of freedom to write about what you want.

I really loved what I learned, but I felt that we were graded really harshly. Over the course of the semester, we took 5, 25 point quizzes. The average on all the quizzes was never above a 15/25.

On the first test, he gave A and B students C's and D's. We were irate! This was unduly stressful! But he is a new professor. He eventually figured it out and gave normal grades. He understands the different sides of an argument very well, and it's fun to watch him argue for either side and make you really have a strong argument to make your case.

Class suffered from complications due to COVID on top of this being the first semester this professor's paradox-specific version of the course was offered. Grading structure is somewhat forgiving, but prof won't accept ANY late work or non-medical makeups. Provides own takes on all paradoxes, but read textbook. Prof can skip crucial details.

Great professor for Inductive logic. Went at the classes pace, used good examples, funny guy. Would recommend for anyone taking philosophy courses or just interested in logic.
