Reviews of professor Travis Coblentz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Coblentz is the best! The in-class discussions are wonderful. He is witty and fun while also being insightful. Pay attention in class and do the readings and the quizzes should not be hard at all.

Dr. Coblentz is an absolutely wonderful professor and his course has made me want to take more philosophy classes. He explains the concepts very well and is accessible outside/after class to go in depth on concepts both in and outside of the class material. He is great at incorporating other content and creating example to increase comprehension.

Dr. Coblentz is a fantastic guy that surpassed my expectations. He isn't stuck-up and is willing to work with you outside of class to help you. If you do the readings and take notes during class, it's an easy A.

Professor Coblentz is honestly one of my favorite at UAB. He requires attendance, but the class itself is really interesting, so going is not too hard. He makes philosophy really interesting and is heavy on class discussion, which makes class more bearable. If you take notes during class you'll do fine on his tests.

He is a good professor. As long as you have the textbook you will be fine and it can be found online for free for those that dont want to spend unnecessary money The class is based on discussion and pretty interactive he only does tests and its only 4 each around a month apart from each other plus the final exam. The tests are open book!

If you miss so many classes he will take a lot off your grade. Tests were very specific but based straight off the boom so you definitely need it. I had a final paper due at the end of the semester so I basically had the whole semester to think and work on it. He was fair with grades. 10/10 recommend

He was an incredible professor- he loves what he does and teaches for fun (he's an adjunct professor). He tries to make the class not entirely a lecture and asks students for their own opinions/interpretation. He has a great sense of humor and does a really great job preparing you for the tests. He genuinely cares and I'd definitely take him again.

Lectures are important. He plays devils advocate and will argue against you in order for you to understand your topic. Attendance is mandatory but you don't have to be in every class. I got an A without a textbook and just found the subjects online before each class. The final is just questions from the 3 previous tests and there's one paper.

The class was very good, Dr. Coblentz is a great professor and his lectures are very interesting. Graded things are spread throughout so your grade doesn't hinge on one thing. Participation is very important because he explains the philosopher's writings in depth in the lecture and you may miss important material if you skip class.
