Reviews of professor Joel Reynolds

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I truly enjoyed this class with Prof. Reynolds. His passion for philosophy and ethics shows through his engaging lectures and discussions. I was initially nervous because Id never taken an ethics course but Prof. Reynolds was patient and thorough in his explanations of new concepts. I would highly recommend him.

He's a good teacher and tests are very similar to study guides which is a plus. Just know that this a philosophy class so there is A LOT of reading and writing outside of class. Many of the readings are extremely long, dry, and difficult to understand.

I really enjoyed this class. Some of the readings were tricky, but they were all worth pushing though. Great lectures, discussion, and use of films/documentaries as well.

I didnt expect to like a philosophy class, but Dr. Reynolds made ethics really interesting

Professor Reynolds always tries his best to make the lectures engaging and useful to his students. He assigns long readings for homework but they are very doable and he is great at explaining them during lecture. Professor Reynolds always made me feel inspired and ready to learn more. He is professional, nice, and willing to help if you need it.

obviously cares a lot about his students. Super disorganized and canceled half of the semester's classes at random times. So much reading and the whole class is discussion based, so he could always tell if most of the class didn't read when no one would talk. Super caring as a person, but terrible professor. Brought his dog to class twice :)

Prof. Reynolds is an amazing professor. He cares a lot about his students and is very passionate about philosophy. Though some of the materials can be difficult at times, he does a great job of explaining things and is always available to talk. This was one of the best classes I have taken. Highly recommend!

Dr Reynolds is a very interesting and insightful Professor. I found his lectures to be engaging and he is unusually good at clearly explaining complex concepts. I particularly like the fact that he respects our opinions even when he disagrees. I would highly recommend his classes, but do be prepared to put in the work.

This class was amazing. I wish I could take it again! Dr. Reynolds is the sort of teacher who makes you wish you could just read and think about philosophy all the time.

I wouldn't say that this is a particularly difficult class. As long as you do the readings, take notes, and participate in class, you have nothing to worry about. Reynolds is truly an amazing, inspiring teacher who makes you engage critically with philosophy. There is a lot of reading, but it's manageable. If you can, take his class.
