Reviews of professor Karin Boxer

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Sitting through this class is like watching grass grow. Paper grading criteria is very ambiguous, and her lectures are repetitive and un-engaging. As far as the class goes, it is so obvious her ideals lean strongly liberal that it is almost impossible to take a different stance on the issues she brings up.

Solid teacher, discussions are opinionated in class and although she is clearly left-wing allows room for students to dissent. Allows rewrites for papers and homework is graded on completion  & are tri-weekly couple sentence journal entries that you can reflect on your readings with.

Having very limited prior experience with Philosophy, I found this course to be difficult. The material was interesting but I found the essays to be very challenging to write. She allowed for essay rewrites though! Dr. Boxer presented the material in a good format. It was sometimes hard to communicate with her outside of class (email/office hours)

I would have gained the same amount of knowledge on bioethics from simply reading the articles and then watching a right wing and a left wing robot whine about their opinion. It is an overall shame that such riveting and powerful material be wasted in a class taught by someone who doesn't care. She makes no effort to encourage discussion. Bummer
