Reviews of professor Paul Pistone

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Pistone was very easy. He cared about his student's success and was very lenient. The class is very lecture heavy but it was manageable.

He is such a fun professor. The material at times is a little hard but he does his best to make sure everyone understands before moving on. Have 4 papers and a final paper as well as weekly quizzes on Fridays. Good choice for a philosophy class.

Great professor, easy class. He assigned a total of about 4 papers, they're a bit difficult but if you ask for feedback it helps a lot. No homework, only quizzes. Wouldn't bother to buy the book - reading assignments are irrelevant to course.

Great lectures, not attendance mandatory, lots of paper but is a easy grader, also provide lots of help.

Heavily relies on reading the assigned texts which are usually extensive. Weekly writing assignments and peer responses were easy but expected to reach a certain word count and meet many other requirements. Lectures were very long and most of the time made no sense and were unorganized. There were also no places to review the lectures from class.

It is a MWF class but on Fridays you get to stay home and take a 5 question quiz. You write 3-4 papers 3 of which are a page. He is super nice and an easy grader.

Took this my first semester of college & it went easier than expected. He explains everything clearly and is always open to review anything with you. There are weekly discussion posts which may be time consuming but that's really all the homework other than the two essays we had.

Pistone is a kind professor but he talks all over the place. I feel like I havent learned a single thing in his class. He tries explaining things but he starts from a place that many of us dont know how he got to. I really wanted to like this class but sitting here and listening to rambling has not helped me. Like I said though, he is kind.

I keep bring up validity and relevance to my bf lol. Class was more useful than I thought.

Amazing and fun professor! His class is mostly him lecturing on interesting yet hard to understand topics but he is always available to clarification. We had 2 one page essays of a topic of your choice and then one 5-8 page paper as a final. Don't have to attend class on Friday, instead doing a 5 question quiz of the week's lecture. Recommend!!!!

Prof Pistone usually lectures the whole time, can get a bit confusing but he still gets the point across. There are very few extra credit opportunities available. Papers are confusing but he offers to go over it with you before submitting. Classes are fun and entertaining.
