Comment:

Prof Warmbrod's logic course is amazing. The PSI system of instruction caused me to become personally driven to master the material, spending plenty of time studying every night (but still enjoying it!). If you're willing to work hard, this course will provide you with a new way of thinking.

Comment:

Makes class very interesting. He describes things right from the roots to ensure a thorough understanding from students. He is a very sweet man, and allows students to have and share their own opinions. My favourite prof so far for sure! First class I ever had a real interest in.

Comment:

He is the best university teacher I have had yet! He is beyond helpful, he hands out study guides for the exam and he loves class participation! I got my first university A on an exam in his class! BUT it didn't come easy, you have to really dedicate yourself to the material, but if you do, you'll excel!

Comment:

His Logic class is very well designed. He has his own textbook/workbook which is basically free. If you do all the work in the book, you will get A+. Logic is learned through practice, not lecture and he has designed the course perfectly.

Comment:

I took Intro Philosophy and he was the most helpful prof I've had! He even handed out review questions to help students study before each test. We were encouraged to philosophize and share our opinions, which made the class quite enjoyable. Also, his dry sense of humour injected levity into the wealth of material he covered. Warmbrod is the man!

Comment:

Since this was a PSI course, I didn't experience his lectures (though I've heard that is a good thing). However, his feedback on tests was helpful, though he needs some work on setting due dates evenly. Went from suggesting 1 unit a month to about 10 much more difficult units in the same time.

Comment:

Can we please hire someone at U. of M. who has some actual expertise in logic or metaphysics? Maybe it's logically or conceptually impossible. It must come close with this guy on the faculty -- yikes.

Comment:

Prof. Warmbrod is a dullard, a jerk, and a very bad professor. Don't expect to learn anything from Prof. I-don't-publish-anything except how not to think and act.

This guy can get boring. Bare with it. If you know the concepts and hand in papers on time, you can't possibly do bad. Easy course overall thanks to his good marking.

This guy can put you to sleep if you are tired, but he's a good guy. Course is super easy to pass, especially if you understand the concepts. He's good about late papers too.
