Dr. McNamara is both an incredible person and professor. He gives clear, systematic, and insightful lectures, and he effectively answers students' questions.

Dr. McNamara was by far my favorite professor this semester! He is able to break down confusing philosophical texts into easily understood concepts, gives out excellent study guides/handouts, gives clear guidelines for what he expects, and grades all quizzes/tests fairly. Additionally, he has a GREAT Irish accent and attends daily mass! I love him!

Dr. McNamara is the best professor I have ever had. He's charming, he cares a lot about his students, and he explains difficult subject matter in an understandable way. He loves student participation and relishes in a good question that turns into a conversation. That's what a good McNamara class really is- a conversation between friends

This guy is THE man. Everyone loves him and I do too. 10/10 would recommend. Good guy inside and out and it shows in his class. He makes everything easy to understand and makes the class not stressful at all. I actually look forward to his class a lot of times. Merciful grader and you end up learning the most for him.

It's one of those subjects only a few are gifted to teach and even fewer of those teachers can understand. He teaches beautifully and I've never felt so respected in my life. Even my friends don't respect me like that. He's great. People who don't like him or what he teaches don't understand either.

Professor McNamara's knowledge on Theology of the Body can only be matched by his incomprehensibility. His lectures are irrevocably hard to understand, though he is a merciful grader on online assignments. There are no papers or midterm in class. Reading the book is necessary to pass the class. Grades based more on online assignments and final.

took foundations of ethics with him and I loved this guy! the class was really easy to get an A in if you just show up to class and take notes and participate. McNamara was super interesting and I actually feel like I got so much out of the class. He doesn't waste your time and lets you out early often. Class always felt worth going to.

McNamara is amazing, great lectures. There would be only a few things he would grade on though.

McNamara is super knowledgeable and quite funny at times, but he can overexplain things and make them confusing. There were only 2 tests which were an absolute breeze, he gave a study guide which contained all the questions we needed to know. Do the readings and study guide and you'll do well. If you're taking philosophy, McNamara is a good choice.
