Awesome class, talked about hot political issues without sounding political at all. Very objective and approached issues from a literary/argument analysis perspective. Reasonable grader. Lectures writing on the blackboard so he goes slow enough to take notes, but it doesn't drag.Rate My Professors ↗
He is very nice and understanding. The lectures are fun and engaging, but get ready to write! He has a strict no electronics policy. There are 3 exams, no mid-term or final. The exams are quite difficult with the class average being a C on the first exam and an average of a B on the last two. The only homework is to read articles posted on Canvas.Rate My Professors ↗
I'm not a philosophy or business student, but I enjoyed his lectures. He showed personality, not monotone or wishing you'd taken another class. His notes on the board are very clear and are basically what you most need to pass the class.Rate My Professors ↗
A great teacher who is very helpful and supportive. I am not a Philosophy major but he makes the class very interesting and engaging and I would definitely recommend taking this class if you want to talk about relevant issues!Rate My Professors ↗
