Comment:

Be ready to read the text, it will be basically impossible to follow along if you don't. Also attendance isn't mandatory per say but good luck doing well on exams if you don't show up. But he makes lectures fun and informative and this class challenged and changed my world views. Would definitely take a class with him again.

Comment:

Kit is great in class. Lectures (more discussion-based) are super interesting and fun. This is a great class. However, he doesn't grade papers and his TA may be tough. He also isn't too accessible outside of class, but you can easily meet with the TA. Overall, you should definitely take this class: you will learn a lot and be interested throughout.

Kit was my Philosophy Teaching Assistant at the University of Arizona. Kit provided the most positive learning experience in my four years in college. Kit's lectures and office hours were positive and memorable.

Seriously the best class I have ever taken at WashU. Kit has a fantastic sense of humor and really tries to be relatable to his students. One day, he told us, "Most of you won't take away anything of value from this class. But some of you, the ones that care, will take away the skill to think critically and participate." Very admirable. Love him.

Comment:

One word I can use to describe Prof Wellman would be superficial. He talks about worldly matters in class most of the time while ignoring the profound nature of philosophy. He might be fit, handsome and funny, but that is not the qualities I look at in a professor. For all the superficial folks, he is your man and idol. He is here to entertain you.

He is not only handsome and fit but also a fantastic person and a knowledgeable proffessor. I've never been so comfortable with a teacher that knows so much about all the mucky mucks.

Comment:

While funny one of the laziest profs ever. Obviously does not read text or even really look at it before class (admitted as much), does not hold office hours except by appointment, and basically has TA do everything. Also at times seems to have trouble with opposing view points.

Comment:

Kit truly cares about his students and goes to great lengths to make himself accessible. Though one is inspired to attend class more often in an attempt to counteract the difficulty, attendance is largely optional and typically not an advantage.
