Comment:
Don't buy book. Look up articles online for free. Never used 2nd book assigned. I hate the quizzes- they don't help in lecture. His lectures are OK, not engaging. Tests are straightforward and structured well. Writing assignments are OK- difficult if you don't like philosophy.

Comment:
Having this teacher for the second time, I have found that he is very monotone and has a catholic mind set when it comes to teaching his classes. So if you are thinking about taking his class do not expect to hear a neutral bias of bioethics. I would not retake the class again if I had the chance.

No a bad teacher. He is not out there trying to fail you. You need to read the book since the tests are based on the books.The material is dry and hard to pay attention too.

Everything seems to be based off of a Catholic perspective, so if you agree to that you would probably be fine if not you might be in a little bit of trouble with the class.

Comment:
He is unfair, and everything is open to his interpretation. The classes involve a bit much, and he doesn't try to make the reading interesting. He is an unethical ethics professor. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASSES!
