Reviews of professor Phillip Honenberger

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Phil was a great professor. He clearly knew what he was talking about. The class is pretty easy, you have about 1-2 hours of lecture a week and then a few short questions about the lectures which are graded on completion. Tests were a little difficult but if you watch the lectures you should be fine. Would recommend taking Dr. Phil.

It must be clearly stated that LOGIC, the branch of philosophy, is more like a language or a mathematic formula. Anyone who thinks logic is just "how a person thinks" or is totally subjective will struggle with this class, but that is not the fault of the professor, especially when Professor Honenberger explains things in a very clear way.

Go to class. The bulk of your grade relies on reading responses and class participation. The reading can be frustrating, but Dr. Honenberger clearly details what to focus on when providing a reading response. Your response does not have to be "right," so try your best. The reading is meant to help with class discussion.

I took this class under the impression it was an intro class- I was wrong. If you don't think the same way Honenberger thinks, you'll be penalized. The lectures make literally no sense, there is no explanation to anything, just "example arguments". There's no way to really prepare for assignments or tests. This class was awful to say the least.

Professor Honenberger cares about his students and about what he's teaching. I would definitely take his class again. The homework wasn't intense like other classes' can be, and the readings weren't always needed to complete it. He was friendly and made accommodations for students on things from grades to missing the deadline on an assignment.

I love professor Honenberger. I thought that he was really engaging and gave great lectures. He taught the material thoroughly and he gave plenty of opportunities to get a good grade in the class. A majority of it is just putting the effort in and trying your best. Just make sure to be prepared for your exams by practicing the material!

My favorite class this semester, most engaging and good sense of humor. Philosophy has a lot of challenging concepts that are tough to teach. Dr. Honenberger provided ample opportunity for students to succeed. He made himself available to tutor and the homework supplemented the lectures well. I liked that I was actually challenged & learned a lot.

Professor Honenberger clearly knows what he's talking about. He's always willing to discuss various scenarios, even some absurd situations, that students may bring up. Do the readings and pay attention to discussion questions since those often show up in tests. Good class and prof that makes me feel like I'll be a more well-rounded engineer.
