HORRIBLE professor! trust me on this one. for test review he expects us to ask the questions meanwhile we don't even understand the class in general. instead of helping us learn he expect us to help him teach. He would come in, and when i asked questions that were't smart enough for him he would make me feel uncomfortable and dumb.

Do not take his class. The reviews are not lying. Please take another professor's class or wait for another semester. The midterm exam consisted of 14 short-answer questions and a two-to-three-page essay based on all the articles you have to read for his class. There is also a weekly quiz

Miss a class? Too bad. Your grade drops 7% for each absence

Hed give us articles to read out of the textbook and wed discuss it next class. The articles can be complex but he wont help you break it apart to understand better. Weekly quizzes were given with 2-3 question graded out of 10. The Midterm was awful he gave us two essays to write and 12 writing questions which we did not have enough time.

This is one of the WORST professors I have ever met in my life. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT ever take his class, if you care about your mental health. He is very rude and never explains anything. He is out to fail you no matter how hard you try.

He based all his grading on quizzes, if you fail you fail there is no way to improve. just pray to god for a miracle.

He makes you read a lot. You won't understand. Note down what you don't understand and ask him to explain during class. He explains everything and will help if you just show you're trying. Everyone writing a bad review doesn't understand that philosophy class is just like every other class: ITS NOT OPINION BASED. THERE IS A RIGHT AND WRONG ANSWER.

He has no sense or pedagogy of teaching. When he is teaching, it looks like he is in a challenge with the class by showing his knowledge in philosophy.

If you are going to take this course be prepared with notes of all the readings even if you have a photographic memory. There is a test every class based on the reading but he wants your answers worded a certain way.

I did not enjoy the class.. he gives a quiz every week and is a very tough grader. You have to read the article he gives in order to do well. Avoid him if possible but he for sure makes you work for your grade.
