Reviews of professor Robert Earle

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class required lots of time spent in reading and understand material to be able to write papers, discussions, and quizzes. I respect that he provided great feedback and its clear he tries his best to do this. He also gave regular class updates which also was nice. Not the easiest class, it is time consuming, but a good instructor for sure.

Dr. Earle is a kind and understanding professor. I took Ethics and Good Sex with him and learned so much! His classes are participation and reading heavy but he has clear expectations from the jump. There's no exams or textbooks required. Not an easy A but if you put in effort you'll be fine. I would take his classes again and highly recommend!

I took ancient philosophy (PHIL2210) with professor Earle and I personally had a great time in that class. Earle is well versed in this area and had a lot to say about each figure we reviewed. Get the text books, you'll need them. Schedule a lot of reading time if you read slow. Don't be afraid to ask for help, Earle cares about his students.

It has been a year since I took a class with Earle, and as more time goes on I realize how much I enjoyed his class. There were a lot of readings and discussions, but that accountability helped me actually get something out of the class. Earle is able to take really complicated philosophical concepts and summarize them easily. He is a nice guy too.

I really liked this class and Prof. Earle. Yes, there's lots of reading and journal assignments, but they're easy points, and the readings, journals, and free textbooks set you up well to be prepared to share in class. Great feedback, easy to reach, and a genuinely nice guy. So many times to participate and offers Zoom if can't be there in person.

Professor Earle is a nice guy. Philosophy can be a difficult subject, but he does a good job explaining concepts and is always willing to meet with you. He is also very understanding and will cut you some slack if you have a conversation with him. Required readings twice a week and attendance/participation matters. You will have to put in the work.

Good professor, class load wasn't bad, and made expectations clear. If you do the work you will do fine in the class.

Robert is very enthusiastic about Ethics, and is very willing to help out if you just ask. If you plan to miss class more than once, be warned, as it'll hurt your grade. He grades hard for essays (I did average for 2/3 of them), but as long as you put in the effort you can get a good grade. At the very least, skim over the readings (but not Kant).
