Reviews of professor Jeff Bagwell

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Jeff Bagwell is a really passionate guy and he cares about his students. The topic of philosophy can be boring for different people, but teaching it is extra boring so I understand why many think the class wasn't exciting. But content aside, although he is a relatively new professor, he is super kind and wants all of his students to succeed.

His attempts to make the class relatable and enjoyable were there and he did a good job. His passion for Ethics and Philosophy is apparent and contagious. I think he gets a bad rep because his lectures are dense, but that is just how philosophy is. He's an understanding professor and gave us a take-home final to alleviate stress in uncertain times.

Your grade is mostly two short papers with and a final. What you're graded on is VERY straightforward and clear. If you just have the content on the slides, you can easily cite him for the papers, hit all the points, and get your A. He goes quickly, so take pictures of the all the slides during class. He posts everything you have to read on GS.

Great professor, everything was fun and made sense and allowed you to come up with your own opinion. The discussions were super fun and was always looking forward to come up with a point of view on it. Super respectful professor and just an overall great person. 10/10

Bagwell was super monotone and lectured quickly. Doesn't post slides on gauchospace. No clicker. Essays are easy bc you just take the info from the slides and cite him. Concepts are tough and confusing. Seems like a really sweet guy but the class is not it. Avoid if you can. 2 essays, one final. Got 95 on both essays, 70 on final ended with 87%

He goes way too fast in lecture,(you never have time to write any slides down) a time where the readings should be clarified and went over to better understand, but instead I leave lecture more confused everyday than when I came.

Fantastic slides but lectures sometimes dragged on. The polls were a nice touch! The class itself is p fascinating and gives you a better perspective on some contentious topics. 5 short quizzes, a 5 page term paper, and a midterm and a final (both of which are two 2 page papers based directly on his lectures). Overall, a respectful and funny prof!

A very boring professor who managed to forget how to use an iclicker. He does not make lecture worth your time but does take attendance and even though the class is super easy I think he's maybe I've of the worst teachers at this school.

Very clear lectures and tried to make the 8am interesting as possible. Readings were adequate length and he covers them in great detail in lecture. Online quizzes are easy if you pay attention in class and skim the readings. Midterm was fair and the paper was not hard.
