Reviews of professor Daniele Botti

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Prof Botti is the goat. Never gives hw. Online midterm and Final. Midterm paper which is 1200 words, final is 1500 words. One group symposium assignment. Best for intro to philosophy, and is an easy grader. If you need an extension he'll give you one. Lectures are pretty boring tho. Easy A.

Professor Botti is an amazing professor and teaches an amazing 2000-level Philosophy. This course was taken along with nursing courses and it was easily managed. 2 Take-home exams (midterm and final), 2 essays, and a symposium which is a group-type project. Very easy and I highly recommend this course!

This class was super easy. Two take home quizzes (midterm and final), and two papers (midterm and final). One symposium, but super easy to do well. He is the sweetest professor you will ever meet, and genuinely wants to see his students do well and is willing to help in any way he can. Readings are super easy.

Great guy. He wants to make sure everyone does well in his class. Two papers and two extremely easy tests that he will give a lot of help in the review leading up to it. Sometimes you can zone out but very interesting discussions. You buy a textbook but you really don't need it other than for the papers. Try to rent the textbook if possible.

Professor Botti is extremely kind and is obviously passionate about his work. If you ever have any questions he provides you with extensive responses and if you ever need an extension he gives it no problem. The course is super interesting and makes you think through multiple perspectives. Def recommend taking Professor Botti - nice guy, easy class

Great guy, very approachable and down to earth. I enjoyed his lectures but get why others might not. There are some class discussions but mostly it's just him lecturing. The course I took was on human rights, so it was mainly learning about the history of the subject, and not overly complicated theory. Reading every class, only a few assignments.

Prof. Botti is a nice guy, very easy grader, but I do not think I learned anything in his class. Maybe he is not good at teaching or explaining things. Symposia days were the only class discussions, but the class felt dead. The class is mainly Prof. Botti lecturing the whole time and no one pays attention. I just wish there was more engagement.

AMAZING professor! Extremely caring and understanding, clear about what he expects, and gives test questions (or at least talks about them in length) a week before tests so you know what to expect. Tests are online and open-book, too. Two papers, two tests, and a seminar, and very quick to respond to emails. Papers graded easy. He cares, a LOT.
