Reviews of professor Jerry Steinhofer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Steinhofer is such an awesome teacher for philosophy, however, if you want an interesting class this probably isn't the class for you. All the other philosophy teachers I have heard all quite difficult, so if you want a chill class you should definitely take him!

Sheinhofer is a great choice for PH101. Tests are word for word off of his PowerPoints. 2 essays aren't lengthy or difficult. He lectures A TON. He claims you need to participate 10 times a semester but he lectures so much that participating is quite a challenge. If you can take him online, it may be easier than in person since it is a night bomb.

If you have the opportunity to take Steinhofer for PH 101, you take him. By far the easiest PH 101 class at Bentley. Steinhofer's tests are word for word from his powerpoints. Steinhofer makes philosophy relevant in today's world. You cannot go wrong with Steinhofer.

Take Steinhofer for PH101. Easiest A you'll ever get. The way he explains things is super interesting as well, and the topics we discussed is very relevant to the real world. The guy himself is kinda awkward/weird to talk to outside of class, but his lectures are pretty good.

Solid choice of a professor. Makes you participate 10x a semester in order to receive a good attendance grade. Lectures are very boring but he gives you the open response questions prior to exams which are worth 80% of them. Definitely would take again. Good guy, reminds me of the Robert California (lizard king)from The Office.

Once you've taken him, you'll forget about it. He is a good lecturer and makes sure you understand the material, but just isn't anything noteworthy at all. Good prof, easy A. He gives you the FRQ before the exam so you can prepare. Very bland-you'll forget about even having taken the class but it's a free A if you pay attention. Recommend him

The class was mostly asynchronous work as well as all the tests. Defintiley very lecture heavy but does not require cameras be on. As long as you study before the exams you'll pass. Not much work at all, 2 papers, 3 exams, have to participate 10 times throughout the semester.

Pros - Gives short answers questions before hand, little to no homework
Cons - Class is quite boring, sitting through a 3 hour lecture about Philosophy was not fun

3 Tests, 1 Presentation, 1 Paper

Overall it's not that hard of a class if you just pay attention and study before the tests, but I would not recommend taking it as a bomb

Prof Steinhofer gives amazing lectures that are very entertaining and make you think. He does a great job engaging with the class and likes to dismantle his students arguments. Three tests worth 60% of the grade but he gives you the short answer and essay questions a week before. Group presentation and essay. Homework  easy. Pretty funny stories.
