Reviews of professor Troy Fassbender

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Reads off powerpoints, rarely writes on the board. Would be a lot better if he wrote on the board instead of clicking through powerpoints too fast.

The class is fine and all until it comes to tests. The test answers are graded meticulously and unless you want a degree in philosophy, I recommend taking a different professor. He'll mark answers wrong on tests for any reason he can find and he never once showed any type of personality. Very bland teacher with very bland material.

Professor Fassbender's grading scale is horrific. He bases things off a complete or incomplete basis, and you have to get an average of 70% on all three exams to pass, otherwise you automatically fail. You don't know your grade until the last day of the semester which was frustrating. Do not take unless you are super passionate about philosophy.

I had Professor Fassbender for Intro to Logic and it was easily one of my favorite courses I've taken. It is very easy if rule-heavy systems make sense to you, and if not Professor Fassbender is very willing to work through problems with students. Very important to come to class. Very fair and curves tests if needed. Highly Recommend.

Does not grade clearly first exam everyone failed and it was very hard to make up the exam. Even though attendance is not mandatory you should definitely show up he gives random writing assignments and class activities. Grading scale is based on how many assignments and activities you need a 70 average for 3 exams. Want an A term paper is required.

Explained the concepts well and demonstrated them with examples which made it pretty clear and understandable. I would go into the textbook (he provided links to a free online version) when I needed clarification on something but he generally made it to where I didn't have to.

Prof. Fassbender genuinely cares about his students passing the class. While attendance isn't mandatory there are random inclass activities. As long as you review his power points, you'll pass his tests. Super awesome professor, would definitely take again.

Make sure to study before exams, and you will be fine. The homework is acceptable, not too hard and not too easy.

Read the assigned readings and show up to class and youll be okay. Hell ask to know what you learned on the readings and will grade you on that. Wasnt really much more than that and like 3 exams. He pretty great at explaining too.

Do the readings & show up to class and you'll be fine. Also utilize the study guides/practice tests for the tests, otherwise you probably won't do well. Professor uses great examples in lectures to explain different philosophies.
