He really likes it when students participate, so raise your hand in lecture; he is a very open minded and nice guy.  Tests are really not bad, but they are mostly in  short essay form. ",

He tends to ramble, but he reiterates important points enough that you can get away with dozing off a bit. Interesting and fairly easy class overall. ",

I started by not really reading any of the papers (something you can easily get away with in most philosophy classes), and found myself falling behind in the class. However, the material is extremely interesting (mindblowing, really), and Sidelle is great. ",
