PHILOS 241
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Frank is really solid and PHILOS 241 (Ethics) with him was one of the more enjoyable courses I've taken in my time at UW-Madison. There are pop quizzes but if you go to class and are familiar with the assigned readings you'll be fine. Three bluebook exams and participation in discussion sections comprise the rest of your grade.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Frank is a grad student, teaching what he loves. He's passionate about the subject as well as teaching it while being very chill and down-to-Earth. Phil 341 with him was fun and easy. Just had to write 4 short essays and a big paper. Fair but easy grader. Ask for feedback and you'll get an A.
