Very funny and nice guy. Lectures are actually interesting enjoyable to go to. You can tell he's passionate about philosophy and cares about his students input about the subject. No exams which is great, grade is essentially determined from 3 essays which is not bad.

Very nice and chill guy. His lectures were very engaging which made class fun to go to. Would definitely take a class from him again if I had the opportunity, and would encourage any individuals looking for an introduction to philosophy to consider him.
