Comment:

Alright, let me justify my rating. It's true, he's a nice guy but that's where the benefits end. Sure he gives you test questions, but often, he'll change them or put new questions you never studied. And if you don't word it correctly? WRONG. Lectures are pointless if you're beyond the first row. the books are not easy reading. Stay. Away.

Comment:

This class is horrible (i am in i right now). He does not "teach" he expects you to read these complicated ethic books and teach yourself and make your own study guides. So if you don?t understand it you will fail the tests like half this class. 4 HARD tests/quizzes. He is useless as a teacher and isn?t clear with what you should study.

Comment:

AVOID. He may be very intelligent but only someone with bionic ears would be able to hear him speak. Yes, it's helpful he gives test questions ahead of time because it would be impossible to pass otherwise. Take philosophy with another professor!

Comment:

Roda can be hard to understand since he talks really low , so you might want a seat in the first 3 rows. He is a harsh grader but he looks like he have a curve on most quizess and test. Everything is based on the reading which can be hard to understand themselves. Somethimes he will go overthings that wont be on the test . overall its a hard class.

Comment:

HATED THIS CLASS. Although he may be a 'nice old man' he is nearly impossible to understand, & is the most UNFAIR grader I have ever encountered - does not care how much effort you put in studying wise, there is NO CHANCE of extra credit & his advice 'do better on the next one'. I would NEVER take a class with him again if you paid me.

tests are hard, but he gives review sheets with exact questions on them, he is hard to understand, but if you do the reading and ask questions the class isn't hard. He will help anyone who wants it.

Comment:

Prof. Roda is a HORRIBLE teacher. Ethics and Philosophy are great because they are subjects that allow a lot of personal interpretation. Unfortunately, this deaf/dumb/blind old man, who can barely talk, is a very closed minded individual. Though he TRIES to help you prepare with quizes and tests, he makes it virtually impossible to have the level of patience needed to do well in the class. Im sure he was an outstanding teacher 40 years ago.

Comment:

Dr. Roda is not at all the way most of these reviews make him sound. I don't know how much easier he could make it seeing as he gives you all the test and quiz questions ahead of time. He also offeres to help with any questions you have. In my experience he was a very nice enjoyable teacher.

Comment:

nearly blind AND deaf, talks too quietly to be heard beyond the second row, sometimes even the first. regularly 10 minutes late to class, tries to make up for it at the end. doesnt explain things well, no comments on tests, unfair grading. worst prof ever

very nice man but horrible teacher. Comes late, won't look over work, and is completely deaf. You have to repeat yourself a billion times, and then he still doesn't hear you and tells you to speak up? Imagine how much fun taking attendence was.

Comment:

Very smart man who knows his material. He is a little hard to understand and can't hear well. WHether or not you enjoy his class depends on how much you put into it, he knows an extrodinary amount and would love to impart it to you. You can do well though
