Reviews of professor Jacob Alexander

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Loved loved loved his class. He gives you a review for his midterm and final exam. If you do it, and study it you will make a A. There is a lot of readings he assigns, as well as pop quizzes. Again, emphasizing the if you do it you will get an A.

My only wish is that he gave more time and notice for the essays. For the final essay, we had less than two weeks to complete it. He's also a stickler about class participation. Come to class prepared to read and answer questions. Overall, it was a manageable class. We just didn't get to know him very well b/c he wasn't very personable.

Enjoyed this class and learned a lot. Metaphysics is a tough subject which is why he required attendance. Not a lot of reading required. Lectures were very clear and thoroughly covered the reading. Responsive to emails and encouraged students to talk to him if they were struggling. Need to study to do well on tests, but he gave good study guides.

He is a very good professor and he answers every question you have. There are pop quizzes, but if you review your notes and read the readings he gives you, you'll be fine. He is very passionate on his subject and will give you a review for your final. I had a great time in his class, I bet you will too !

I took Alexander my Freshman year for Intro to Philosophy and it was not a great experience. His class is very difficult, it included a lot pop quizzes and tons of reading. He is a very tough grader and rarely gives extra credit.

Professor Alexander is a very serious guy. He goes in-depth with every topic. He is a tough grader when it comes to essays, exams, and quizzes. He wants you to participate but it is not mandatory. He is a nice guy in general but only if he sees you're trying, if not good luck.

He is hard to get in touch with. He gets frustrated when the class does not answer him because they are trying to think. He will tear apart your essay for grammar when grading it. I would not take this professor if you are not a philosophy major.

I loved this class. It's hard but I really got something out of it. He is so caring. If you try, he will fight for you.

The dude is legit. Loves philosophy and is pretty hard, but I think he is great to talk to outside of class if you need help.
