Reviews of professor Benjamin Aguda

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I believe this was Dr. Aguda's first semester at UNO. The class was well-structured and he regularly communicated with via announcements. Grading is made up of weekly discussion posts on the readings (10%), 2 exams (30% x2), and one end-of-term paper (30%). It's not a cakewalk class but with solid effort, it's not especially difficult.

Philosophical psychology is a mix of phil of mind and science. It's a good choice for cognitive science types but I personally found it quite boring. Dr. Aguda is clearly passionate about the subject and engages students with thoughtful questions. Grading is the same as the other course. It requires decent effort but is not exceptionally difficult.

Very passionate about teaching philosophy, funny and clear lecturing style. When I took Professor Aguda's course, the final project was cancelled, so the only assignments were a participation grade and three exams. The exams are easy as long as you understand the concepts from the reading. All powerpoints are online and full of information.

I took Dr. Aguda for an Independent study class. He helped me decide on my topic for my undergraduate thesis. He was very helpful, caring, and inspirational. He doesnt sugar coat things. He tells it how it is. He is passionate about what he teaches. If you can take him. I 100 percent recommended taking his classes.

As with any philosophy class, be prepared to read and write. I enjoyed the class though.

Dr. Aguda is a good person and a good professor but if you are LA major thinking of taking PHIL instead of math DONT! Lol its way harder and if you dont really care about it the lectures are long and really easy to doze off in. Hes a good professor but wouldnt recommend the class
