Reviews of professor Steven Gubka

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Usual hw is reading with 2-3 essays. Gubka encourages his students to talk in class tho sometimes theres awk silences hahah. While he himself is a lovely dorky person, his TAs can be intimidating (graders). A wonderful person to know outside of class!!

GREAT professor! He is really passionate about philosophy and I enjoyed class greatly. Only downside is the 3 essays that engulf majority of the grade. The TA is a pretty tough grader and for someone who has no clue about philosophy, writing these essay's is pretty difficult. If you just put in the work and attend office hours, you will be good!

Steven was great!! His class was laid back and conversational and the content was interesting to learn about. There are a few discussion posts and a long essay, but all were fairly easy. The TAs were a little tough, but Steven is amazing! He does in class polls with iClicker for attendance based upon the assigned reading for that day of lecture.

Steven was super nice, relaxed and knowledgable. The subject itself was not always interesting but he tries his best. Steven is very understanding with missing pop quizzes. Your grade depends on 3 short papers and then 1 "long" one. They are both really easy though. Take this class for an A.

Graded on four papers. Lectures were not really related to the papers' content. TA's were HARSH graders (I got the chillest one, shout out Phillip). I mainly did my other homework during his lectures and just listened and responded periodically. Taking notes was not necessary for my grade. Phillip led the discussion and we talked about WHATEVER.
