Chuck is a great professor. He's extremely knowledgeable and cares about all of his students. Our lectures are relevant. Class itself is easy, only 2 tests and a final research paper. LOTS of readings. This is a fun class though, and I recommend the FIG. :)

Great professor. Snowdon is extremely interesting and well spoken, plus super cute! He cares about the material and the students, plus everyone in this FIG is super smart. While his psych class and bio anthro were great, philosophy was no fun, although easy. would reccomend

Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
This is an easy class because you only write papers and Chuck gives high grades even if you write it within a few hours. Chuck is such a cool guy and if you're a psych major you should definitely take this class because he gives a lot of good advise and can get you a research position.

Chuck is amazing and full of information. Take this FIG even if you're not in the honors program (they will let you in if you express a sincere interest in the topic). Three 5 page papers and then a final 10 page paper. Very reasonable grader and very knowledgeable. One informal debate as well. FUN CLASS!

Chuck is a great professor. For 211, you only have papers to write, no tests. You learn a lot, even if his lectures get kind of long winded. He's a great guy that I look forward to working with in the future!
