Comment:

if you are going into this class thinking it will be treated like a 100 level class, this is not the case. This was the worst class and professor I have ever had. The professor has all true false exams and if you dont think like him you will never get any answers right.

Comment:

His classes are hard and confusing, but so is understanding philosophy. Test are hard and you will not do good if you do not study everything and ask lots of questions. You put in time, effort, ask questions, and you will do good. Most students don't put an effort in these classes. Also, patients is key, read, do extra credit, and the homework.

Comment:

Avoid him. While he is hilarious, he teaching style sucks. He wrote the book so either get ready to pay up or spend a lot of time at the library. His "notes" consist of him typing random words/phrases in a Word document, as well as any useless handouts he decides to scribble up. Tests aren't horrible, but the only way to study is to read his book.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. He does NOT know how to teach and if you don't think like him he doesn't give a rats ass about you. He's incredibly rude and simply does not know how to teach. His notes are useless because they are one word. His book is practically the same way. He has his opinions, if yours aren't the same don't speak.

Comment:

I would avoid taking Philosophy with Grcic if at all possible and I wish someone would've told me that earlier. The class itself is very interesting but Grcic can not figure out how to teach that to people. Notes are useless because he does not even know how to finish a thought or stay on one topic. Hard true/false tests.

Comment:

This professor would begin a sentence with one thought, and then end with another. It's like he didn't know how to transition. The textbook was the only way I made it through the course, and he actually wrote it.

Comment:

I find him very rude every time you ask for any help, and his tests are very hard, as they are truefalse. This is the first class I have ever had to worry about passing. His lecturing style is also very confusing because he only types one word on Microsoft Word, but doesn't add any details or group things together to explain anything.

He's a great professor. If you're reasonably intelligent you'll find him hilarious. He was always available to help with any questions, and also great with suggestions. He was one of my favorite college professors.

Class is horrible especially if you're a Christian he mocks and shows very hurtful videos (bill maher) and offensive! I left his class early almost every time because of this. He is awful, not funny, and his tests are t/f very hard and confusing! DON'T TAKE THIS COURSE! It's required, try to not get him! I wished someone would've warned me.

This was the worst class that I have ever taken. He is a very unclear professor and he does not help with anything. I would not suggest taking this class. He is rude to his students, and you can't even read the notes he writes on the board.. not like they help. WORST CLASS EVER!

Very interesting class, but it is not an easy class. You must attend and read the book. The first few tests are open book. He also understands this is not an easy class so he curves the tests. Overall, an interesting class with knowledgeable prof.

Comment:

All his tests are true and false, the first few are open book. His notes are kinda useless. You have to read the book(that he wrote) and study it hard to do well on the test. Two papers assignments, mid-term and final. He grades the papers pretty hard. VERY BAD ABOUT RETURNING TESTS/PAPER. Had to wait about 2 months to get my mid-term paper back.

Comment:

He's unconventional, but I like him. His tests are true/false but they're open book too so you can look most of the stuff up. Kinda boring, but he shows quite a few documentaries, which are interesting. Not disrespectful in my class, he's actually kinda funny. He laughs at himself which makes it funny I think. Not offensive in my opinion. Ok class.

Dr. Grcic is offensive. He makes rude jokes and thinks he's funny. He is rude to students. He assumes that no one is putting forth effort. His tests are all true and false. His notes are sloppy and useless.

His instructions are not clear. All of his exam are true and false and are over his very messy notes, his book, and videos that we watch. Not a very good class.
