Reviews of professor Drew Chastain

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Easily the best professor of my semester, polite and willing to have fun. Attendance mattered a lot, there was a weekly discussion post, and every test was a short essay around 500 words, easily doable. The worst part of class IMO was other students, otherwise it was interesting and thought-provoking. As long as you're competent it should be easy.

Professor Chastain is extremely thorough and organized. Each class has a specific lecture, and all the homework assignments are frequent discussion board posts (at least for the Philosophy 1 and 2 core classes). The exams are straightforward short essays that don't take too long to complete if you listen in class.

Such an underrated professor. If you're the type of person who would rather opt for less assignments/hw and more in class participation- take a class with him! He is very intelligent and makes class discussions so interesting, as they're student focused. A very understanding professor too!

You will receive very few grades throughout the year. There is a daily attendance grade that can help add some padding if you attend or drag you down if you miss, but the bulk of your grade comes from three tests. Good news: the test criteria will be clearly covered in class and they are online. Bad news: bomb a test, your grade plumets.

I whispered to a friend sitting next to me asking about an activity we were doing while he was not actively teaching and after class, he sent us both an email telling us that we were disruptive and that if we did it again he would take points away from our participation grade. A good way to make students uninterested and bored in class.

This class was made up of many assignments. Expect to participate and take short quizzes every class, present a short presentation, write 2 papers, and handwrite 3 essay tests. Attendance is MANDATORY because each class consists of "daily assignments" that contribute to the overall grade. Pretty decent grader if you follow the criteria asked.

He's not that bad of a teacher, but if you skip class more than two times he drops your grade significantly because participation is a huge part of this class. Lots of reading and there's daily quizzes on the homework, so make sure to keep up to date with the readings. Not always understanding and lenient for personal matters.
