The lectures are fun and engaging, but get ready to write! He has a strict no electronics policy. There are 3 exams, no mid-term or final. The exams are quite difficult with the class average being a C on the first exam and an average of a B on the last two. The only homework is to read articles posted on Canvas.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2555368","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:12:40.982879+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM4NzEzNTk5","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2555368","instructor_name":"Patrick Cronin","course_label":"PHILOS341","course_id":"PHILOS 341","course_uid":"course_eea85533574086c8566255b9","review_date":"2023-12-17 04:18:54 +0000 UTC","comment":"I'm not a philosophy or business student, but I enjoyed his lectures.

Since she lectures on pretty controversial topics, you would think she was input her own opinion in the material, but she stays neutral! Great comm B class that ISNT boring. 2 short papers and one long 8-10pg paper. This class really makes you challenge your own opinions, I really enjoyed it.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2493054","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0}]
