Reviews of professor Timothy Stoll

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This was probably the most difficult class I have taken thus far due to the content of the course. However, Stoll made the class valuable and enjoyable. I even found myself becoming immersed in the music of Wagner (Nietzsche's associate) by the end of the class. Stoll's lectures were scintillating and discussion was worthwhile. Take his advice.

This man scares me; I'd rather not show up at all than deal with his nasty glares when you walk in 30 seconds late. Also, he only grades you on 3 papers for the whole semester, so they're all weighted super heavy (and the questions are super hard!). Good luck...

Weirdly hard for a visiting professor - he's very strict and asks way too much from his students. His essay questions are impossible, and your grades basically only come from essays (so each is around 25% or more) and he clearly favors certain students in class. He doesn't start class even a second late and gets angry when students are 1 min late.

T. Stoll is an incredibly intelligent individual with immense knowledge of the field of which he often alludes to in relevant asides during lectures. For PHI100, coming to class having not done the reading is perfectly fine as his lectures are comprehensive and exhaustive. The only downside is the lack of regular discussion in the class. Y.M.M.V.
