Reviews of professor Stacie Thyrion

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you already took PHIL101 then PHIL150 with stacie should be a breeze. With the amount of extra credit she gives, you have plenty of opportunities to get the grade you desire. Book is a manageable read. First test might be rough but after you understand her style you should be fine!

She was a little confusing at first. Didn't do so hot on the first test, as did none of my peers. She tired to help us understand the material as best as she could after that. Towards the end of the semester I wasn't dreading Phil 101 anymore. She can get boring but means well! show up to her class so you have a better understanding of things.

Stacie has really boring lectures that you will probably fall asleep in unless you work on something else during them. She is really monotone and hard to pay attention to. She cancelled class at least 10 times which is cool but then we all bomb every exam cause of it. Your only grades are attendance, participation questions on top hat, and exams.

Take someone else if you've never done philosophy before. Lectures were boring and not just because of the content. It's just three hard tests that are mostly t/f and only 20-30 questions, plus unhelpful study guides and everything is done on Top Hat. Good things: textbook is super cheap but not very useful, and there's extra credit opportunities.

She's really great and caring. She tries and helps you succeed in her class. Philosophy is super hard but she explains things very well and she's nice and will explain if you ask her too.

She's an okay teacher, but her lectures are just so boring I can never pay attention in them. I basically just scroll through twitter the entire time. Her tests are so hard for some reason and theres only like 20-30 questions on them so if you get a few wrong youre donezo. she has given us a lot of extra credit opp. though, which is good.

Prof Thyrion is an incredibly intelligent woman and passionate about what she teaches. Her lectures are not boring, and she uses real life examples to help you grasp the material. She is more than willing to help her students when they do not do well on something. She wants her students to succeed, put in the effort and you will.
