Reviews of professor Brian Skelly

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
honestly, this class was a complete joke. he seems like a very nice guy, but i did not learn a single thing. he loves to talk, and not about anything related to the class. the only way to pass the class is to buy his $120 textbook and do writing assignments on it. his class felt like a waste of time.

This man changed my life. Every Monday and Wednesday the only reason I would wake up was to go to this mans spectacular class. Weather it was talking about the importance of complex moral issues or touching on his questionable high school experiences, it was always a fun time. Definitely recommend taking his class, you'll have a great time.

Amazing professor, really cares about his students. Treats them like your his own children. There is a lot of homework but it is only going to benefit you in the end. If you do the work and put in the time you will earn a good grade.

Professor Skelly is probably the most understanding and caring professor at CCSU. He encourages his students to ask questions and really wants everyone to do well. The assignments dont have due dates & you could do rewrites. Your grade is in your hands, Skelly is just there to provide encouragement. If you want a professor who cares, hes the one.

I loathed going to this class. He makes you buy his own book, only on Amazon, so he gets royalties. He will grade based on his own opinion, not based on your work. Take another philosophy class if you need to. He tells weird storys that make the room awkwardly quiet. Getting through this class was a hardship, and I will never do it again

Brian is a sweet guy. He's very lecture-heavy but the lectures are usually entertaining. He's very lenient with work but I recommend having the book ASAP because there are a lot of papers and they are based on some of the essays in the textbook. Overall good class and would recommend it if you need the credit or are just interested in Philosophy.

Did not spend much time teacher however you hear great stories about his life and past experiences. The work load is given to you the first day and you can submit it whenever you want as long as its in by the last day of the semester.

Prof. Skelly is a great guy and clearly cares about his students' mental health. Lectures were unclear and hard to get. Available for extra help when asked but doesnt clarify much. Due dates are not enforced accepts late work until the end of the semester. He wrote the required textbook so its hard to teach yourself if you dont understand his style
