Reviews of professor Kenny Shields

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He was an awesome professor that wanted the best for his students. He gave so much extra credit that made the class very stress-free. It wasn't about stressing over homework-- it was just about philosophy. The area of study is typically not my thing but I thought he did awesome for a class I had to take.

I am actually in PHIL 220, but that was not an option. I would not retake this class. The topic was interesting; however, the teacher was constantly all over the place. He made my experience in this class miserable. Beware that if you are a fidgeter, he might call you out.  I would not recommend him to anyone.

You could tell he cared about what he taught but you're screwed if you ever need anything else. He made little things much more complicated than they needed to be. For an Ethics professor, he is not understanding at all. Will fight you on asking for basic requests. I would avoid him if you can.

I could go on for more than the 350 character limit but all the awful ratings on Kenny are telling enough.Punishes students for using "outside resources" to better their understanding.Has AI paranoia, dances around any objections back to his baseless belief or directs the conversation in another direction.Talks AT students rather than WITH them.

Horrible. Refuses to let ANYONE use computers or iPads in class. Things must be done his was or else he will complain and act like a child.

Kenny is very enthusiastic and passionate about philosophy. He gives a lot of extra credit in the form of what he calls "charity." You are not graded on many things. He takes attendance and discussion for a grade, so it is best if you suck it up and participate; it usually pays off at the end. He was not my favorite, but he does want you to succeed

Cares more about presenting his politics than ethical questions. If he agrees with you politically he won't agrue the point and will just nod his head. If he disagress with you politically, he will argue/debate with you until the end of time. Class is easy though so that's a plus.

Take any other philosophy professor. HE IS A HORRIBLE LISTENER AND GRADER!!! The class is easy if you figure out how he works, but if you're like me and you can't stand people who just don't listen to a word you say, you will fail his class horribly.

Will probably update this later. If you don't agree with him, he will call you into office hours and if you keep your statement, like a child, he will email your advisor and complain about you. He will also grade you badly if you don't follow what he says. He should not be teaching this course. He is a music education major teaching medical ethics.
