Reviews of professor Alfredo Watkins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Alfredo is a great teacher because he genuinely cares about his students and their comprehension of the material. Also, he wants to talk with students (even about information that goes beyond the class!) The readings are interesting and he does not ask too much of you in terms of workload, it is a reasonable amount. Good discussions as well.

I truly enjoyed having Alfredo as my teacher this semester. This was a difficult class, but he was very helpful and I always walked away knowing something new. I'm not going to get the grade that I wanted, but I'm content because he teaches an enjoyable class.

Alfredo was one of the T.A's for Phil 101 and while he was good at breaking down confusing topics, he was a bit dull. He always wrote on the board and didn't have slides or anything. He encourages participation and is a very nice guy. He gave us great feedback on our essay's with comment sheets and is always willing to help out. Solid choice.

good guy class was really interesting. super slow grader. Is always willing to help but lectures are dull. Participation grade but you do not need to go to every class at all. Just some and participate. All books are on spark notes, don't bother reading book you can get everything from there which makes the class tolerable. Recommend for Phil gened

Did not like him, made philosophy a forever dreaded subject for me. What really put me off was the mandatory participation policy, where you have to participate at least 10 times to get an A for that portion. The grading for participation is A, C, F! He also had pop quizzes which could have functioned as participation points on their own!
