Reviews of professor Jeremy Bell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a great professor and he really cares about his students. He was always available during office hours and his classes were very engaging and interesting. There was a lot of writing (more than I expected), but I still think this class is a great choice for a freshman seminar.

LOVE Dr. Bell! Attendance is mandatory but I really enjoyed attending class! The assignments are straightforward and they help you understand the material and become a better writer. He's insanely knowledgeable in his field, super engaging, and explains complicated things better than any professor I've ever had. Definitely take him if you can.

So you don't end up with an A- like me, don't forget to participate in class even if some of your intellectually pretentious yet misguided classmates who clearly didn't complete the assigned reading start hour long arguments that are not related to the reading!

A superb professor and someone who got me way more interested in philosophy than he was at the start. He does expect attendance and he isn't an easy grader, but he's very approachable and you can definitely get a good grade if you go talk to him in office hours and work on your papers. All in all a fun and interesting class.

Bell is very passionate about philosophy, and extremely knowledgeable. Freshman seminar requires a decent amount of reading (which is difficult, but he explains the material). Three papers are required with very clear grading criteria. You must also do reading questions every 2 weeks, but they are also manageable. Very kind, understanding prof.

Professor Bell was very accessible outside of class, and he's one of the most caring professors I had at Emory. His lectures were quite enjoyable, and he's extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the course materials. Probably one complaint would be that he doesn't follow the schedule on Canvas.

Probably my favorite professor I've had at Emory so far. Was so kind and caring, especially in terms of student mental health. He graded fairly easy and was passionate about what he taught. 10/10 recommend!!

Pretty good professor. Attendance is mandatory and he is a fairly harsh grader. However, he is very helpful in office hours and your writing will improve a lot in his class. I can't speak for other philosophy classes (my first one), but he lets extraneous questions detract from the lecture too often -- we didn't cover Mills and Arendt.

Professor Bell's class is a great choice for Freshman seminar. Despite the virtual setting, he is great at engaging withs students and is extremely understanding (he ended class early and even cancelled class multiple times to give us a break). His readings are a bit hefty but he goes over them in class so if you skim through it you should set.
