Reviews of professor Wes Skolits

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Really enjoyed taking the course with him. What kept my interest in the class and helped me learn better was his variety in teaching methods which included lectures, videos, discussions, homework notes etc,. For an online course, he does respond quickly to emails and sounds super friendly.

Professor Skolits is awesome! Hes very nice and approachable; if you have any questions, he will be more than happy to help you out. Hes a fair grader so as long as you stay on top of the work, you will have no problems! His feedback for the final paper is also very good, as he tells you everyone you need to know to get an A.

I can't exactly judge if this professor is good at teaching because I took an online class with him. His video lectures were fairly good though. Often very bad at responding to emails. Online class was just watching some online lectures and reading LOADS of texts (expect around 60 pages a week). Tests were fairly easy though

The class was fun and personally, I learned a lot. Professor Skolits was very good at getting the material through to the students and made the class enjoyable at the same time. He made it fun to engage in class conversation.

All the professor does is post readings and "guest lectures" and only occasionally makes his own lectures. Also doesn't reply to emails, even concerning important stuff like grading tests incorrectly, and overall puts minimum effort into teaching. Definitely one of my least favorite courses that I've taken so far.

Wes is a young lecturer and is very aware of the needs and demands of his undergraduate students. Homework and readings are very important as they are the only things outside of the major papers that factor into the overall grade. However, there is plenty of extra credit and opportunity to edit papers and earn credit for missing assignments.

Fairly easy class, lots of discussions and weekly quizzes. Quizzes were a bit annoying and you could overthink them, however, it was overall an easy class.

The class is very discussion-based and Wes does a good job in trying to propel the discussion further and keeping it relevant. In terms of grading, he is super understanding and caring and wants his students to succeed. If you do the readings and the homework, the grade is pretty reflective of your effort. Overall, a really good prof and person.

Loved the class! Lots of reading but we got some goodies that kind of compensated! Great professor. Very fun to work with

Good idea to come to class if you're interested in philosophy. Promotes very open and engaging discussions that are really interesting and thought provoking. You'll have to read and write a lot but writing rather than exams fits a philosophy course best in my opinion!
