He was great! Do your work and participate and you will be fine.

I had to rate him because the other rating is so harsh! I agree, the material in the class is dry but the professor himself I think did a great job. The class is mostly reading and then discussing what the text was about and sometimes hell put you into groups and have you debate. He doesnt really tell you what you did wrong when he grades

Philosophy is tough as it is, but he makes it more difficult and stressful as your grade is only based on participation and two exams. His mid term and final are both in class written "1500 word" essays, which you are not given any of the readings or any notes for, just paper and pen. It's my understanding he runs every one of his classes this way.

He's great. He's really smart and incredibly patient with students. I'm not good at grasping the readings and he's very patient with me.

Dr. Edwards was very nice and I could tell he cared about the class. His lectures were very boring but attendance and participation were part of your grade. Course material was very easy if you paid attention. There are only 2 assignments (midterm and final) which are both written so you need to make sure you know your stuff.

This man means well, but the class is awful. Material is complicated and dry. The way of the class is you read, answer questions on the reading as homework, then in class talk about the reading (7 people in the class). Nothing ever really makes sense but since it's a Philosophy class theres no "wrong" answer as long as you have info to back it up.
