Reviews of professor Seth Daves

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Awesome guy, personally and academically. Funny and kind in class, if you participate in class discussions hes even funnier. Very easy and straight forward quizzes and exams, not a hard grader by any means at all. If you do the reading you will get a perfect score on everything.

Mr. Daves shows tenacity and integrity with every lecture. I came without a passion for philosophy, but his clear teaching style really made the content resonate with me. Because of his hands and engaging support, I really became enamored with the content and philosophy in general. I'm really hoping to be able to take more of his classes

Literally just show up. Although attendance isn't mandatory, it is such a fun and interesting class to take. His lectures were extremely interesting, and you were free to chime in at any time. Every quiz was open note, so were the tests (midterm and final). One GEA paper, and that was it. Super easy, would totally recommend.

Overall, he is a good teacher. Gives clear directions, has 6 quizzes and a midterm and final. Also has 2 papers assigned. Do-able. BUT - he is a hard grader. LOTS of reading, very textbook heavy. He's a chill professor but if he weren't such a hard grader I'd give him a 4!

Great teacher, I'm taking him for existentialism at the moment. He brings notes to lecture on but can get off track which I really think facilitates learning in philosphy. He's been my favorite professor so far, hes incredibly well-versed on philosophy and is funny enough for me want to go to class every day.

Took it during Summer B (10 open book quizzes with just 4 questions per quiz, one 2-3 page paper, and an open book midterm and final exam). He tried to make this class as simple as possible, and the workload for just a 5 week term was more than doable. He doesn't teach this class every semester, but if you ever find him as an option, take him!!

I just personally would never take him again, he talks like hes the 2023 reincarnation of socrates, in the sense that he doesnt explain the material well if your not really into philosophy, and has a strict policy of not being able to make up work. Overall hes a cool dude but not a great teacher

he's a super chill dude. really passionate about philosophy and helping the students understand. although the vocab in the course can be hard, he is super good about helping. if you need to take a phi course. take one of us

Professor Daves is a kind and caring Professor, he cares about his students and will spend the necessary time (if you ask for his help) explaining/ breaking down the material for you. 10 quizzes and 2 exams the final and midterm. If you read the book, PowerPoint lectures and take the quizzes, you will do great. Quizzes & exams are all open notes.
