Reviews of professor Jacob Lanier

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I've taken B7, B9, B12, and B6A with this professor. He knows what the hell he's talking about and he gives you realistic examples and ways to approach philosophy itself. His lectures are meant to tickle your brain and not just give you textbook readings. I 100000/10 recommend him. Little to no homework - just show up to lecture and you're set!

Great Professor. The book that is required can not be found online. It has to be purachse within the school book store. I would 100% recommend him. There are weekly quizzes but nothing you can not handle. Quizzes are short based on scripts that are interesting. There is a midterm and final but nothing too hard, have enough time to complete.

Two books you mainly read out of, but easy to understand. Will help you if you need it. YOU HAVE TO READ. Miss lecture and you won't understand what to do. He won't keep you long if he doesn't have to.

real cool guy. if you need help he'll do everything he can to get you to pass. he pushes you with the topics but also explains thoroughly. just make sure you pay attention and take notes.

If you don't know how to do the work he will be glad to help you out. His tests are so easy just study them and you will pass.

This class was one of the toughest I have taken at Bakersfield College, but it has been one of the most beneficial. The readings are confusing, but professor Lanier guides the class through it and was verg helpful during this awful time because of the covid-19. After taking this class I wish I took all my other philosophy classes with him.

Do not take this professor. He uses some unknown book for his lectures that literally doesn't exist on the face of the internet. Why would you make your students read your book while your experiencing problems with your publishers who won't release the book? Literally WANTED to like this professor based previous reviews but its a no from me.

I absolutely loved and adored this professor!!! Such a nice and understanding guy. He is absolutely hilarious in his lectures and he's really passionate about what he teaches. not to mention he's very attractive as well lol.

Great Professor, very detailed lectures and helps answer any question you may have. Hilarious and wants every single student to succeed. Attend class so you wont fall behind in lectures. Take good notes ! Will come in handy for exams. Definitely would take him again for any other classes he teaches.

We had to buy an access code that was never used. He never replies to any emails, he did not grade anything throughout the whole semester, and an actual syllabus was never released. We finished the class and we stull do not know what our grades are. Worst professor experience ever! I would extremely not recommend this professor at all.
