    "comment": "Professor Whittle's lectures are great, he doesn't hesitate to help you understand if you are lost, and he is very thorough with the course material. Going to lecture will guarantee at minimum a passing grade, not going will set you behind severely. Prof. can be difficult to understand at times, but simply ask for clarity and he will not hesitate.",

    "comment": "For 562: Amazing. Most engaged in a class I've ever been after 4 years at UW. Great at fostering curiosity and arguments about the content. Homework and readings are very manageable. First philosophy class ever and I felt like I could jump right in. Highly recommend 562 with Bruno",

    "comment": "This class is easy and the exams are straightforward. It gets relatively challenging in the final third because of more abstract concepts. I was doubtful about his style of teaching (chalkboard) but I've grown to really enjoy it. He doesn't post much on Canvas so if you're lost you have to go to office hours or teach yourself. Don't miss lecture!",
