I enjoyed Professor Steiner, and would recommend his class as a solid Philosophy course. Although it can be a bit dry at times, a lot of the class includes interesting discussion that can be very inspiring.

Comment:
Had him for 3 classes. I really didn't like his teaching style at first but he really grew on me. I thought he was too hung up on particulars and was missing "big picture" ideas, but particulars are important because they can make/break the whole picture. You'll be astounded with how much your writing improves. High standards - hard, but worth it

Comment:
Very obscure class. Lectures do not help you understand any of the material. Readings are tough to understand because they are very old works. On top of all that, the professor has a terrible grading criteria in which he expects you to fail the first couple of papers and pass the last couple.

Comment:
Steiner is a great guy who cares about his students. That being said, avoid taking this particular course with him at all costs. Epistemology is already a very difficult subject, and Steiner does nothing to make it easier for you. Paper topics are very difficult, very tough grader, and very difficult to keep up, especially if you fall behind. Avoid

Professor Steiner was fabulous. His classes were interesting and always a great discussion. I really enjoyed the first two portions of my course, 'Gods, Humans, Animals' and the second half was extremely informative. Steiner is also a great guy and extremely helpful in office hours.

Professor Steiner was great! I had him for a 100 level philosophy class and for someone with very little interest in philosophy I still genuinely enjoyed his class. Attendance is mandatory but classes were interesting and engaging, never boring. He is also incredibly helpful in office hours and going to them really helps your grade!

My favorite professor! Very relatable and laid-back, although in class he expects everyone to stay attentive and conduct themselves, and encourages active conversation. Very interesting class with a very enjoyable professor. Definitely recommend him!

Comment:
Good professor, but with an unbearably condescending attitude. He explains the topics well, but demands far too much of his students. For every class you must prepare 3 or 4 2-minute presentations on topics from the reading, and he does NOT excuse any absences without the dean's permission. Surprisingly easy grader given his general demeanor

This man is truly a gifted professor. He is extremely helpful and easy to talk because he wants the best for his students. If you do your work, you will come out with a great grade. One of the best teachers in the school, I recommend him to all.

Steiner really is a good guy. I'll be honest in saying I didn't really do the reading or pay attention too much in class but I'm still pulling away with a decent grade. If the material interested me more I would love this class. He's very helpful during office hours and wants you to understand the material. I recommend him if you like the material

Be prepared to spend a considerable amount of time with the material. Great professor but expectations are high. Although I was extremely interested in the class, reaching deadlines was difficult while trying to put forward quality work.

Steiner is a great guy. Very friendly and VERY knowledgeable. He is a tough but fair grader- you have to do your reading in order to do well on the papers- but he is there to help you. Definately recommend him!

knew his stuff, but graded really hard, graded based on writing skills since was a W1 but didn't really offer much help in fixing it. Was fairly picky.
