Reviews of professor Jared Bly

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Not a bad professor had him online he grades based on improvement which can make the final paper grade a little dicey, but overall really easy class and open to discussion if you so choose.

He provides a great environment for students new to philosophy. He knows a lot about all the aspects of philosophy we discussed, and he was funny during the discussions. Only three essays as the grades for the semester.

Professor Bly's class was easier than I expected it to be. The only work outside of the type that was required for this course was 3 5-6 page papers. He grades on improvement, which makes it easier to bring your grade up if you could have done better on the first paper, and he is willing to help you with your writing skills. Canceled class a lot.

Took him for moderns, ACS 1001. Pretty decent professor, not my fav, but def not a bad choice. A lot of reading, but you didn't really have to do it. A few papers, kinda a picky grader and very specific about how you write it. Participation matters. Lecture can be boring, but not the worst. Frequent class discussions. Very understanding and kind.

Chillest teacher. Such a great guy. Had 5 papers this semester. He's really understanding if you need extra time ( w/ valid reason) and open to quest. in regards to the papers. changed the schedule a lot for us, would combine papers or eliminate them just because he felt like it. He also took away the take home final part. Take him. great feedback

Prof. Bly is great, approachable and he creates a great space for expressing ideas for the uninitiated.

I took ancients with Jared and honestly he's one of my favorite teachers ever. He's a super chill guy and is ready to help you if you need it. Lots of reading and writing but easy grader. Discussions are super interesting especially if you participate. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Bly was nice and he was always available for help on papers, however, his lectures were very boring and almost impossible to keep your attention on as the semester went on. There are three papers and a participation grade, and the three papers had weird prompts. He is a good choice for PHI though, so its not the end of the world.

Professor Bly is an understanding teacher who is lenient on deadlines and class attendance. However I find myself falling asleep in his class because the lectures are very dense. Most of the time he talks the entire class and uses a lot of "big words" to teach pretty straight forward topics. Sometimes I question if he is knowledgeable about topics
