Comment:

Einhaus reciprocated the students willingness to participate. Students who didn't care he didn't reach out to, students who wanted extra help he would meet up with for study sessions at coffees shops. Great Professor yes his class is tough but the lessons last a lifetime. Not a snob, he uses the socratic method that is hard for some to understand.

Comment:

Mr. Einhaus is a laid back professor. Letting everyone have a say sometimes eats up class time. He isn't too strict and much of the work is up to students to complete on aplia.com. However, gives a lot of feedback and support if you just email him or attend office hours. No book required but online access code is about $100.00.

Comment:

Einhaus was extremely helpful. There are many concepts within the study of Logic that can be difficult to grasp however, Einhaus assists at every step via online forums, email or phone. Handouts are provided that walk you through the process to arrive at the correct discussion answers. Follow the handouts, read the textbook, ask questions.

Comment:

He was one of my favorite professors I had at BC. He truly cared about the students while teaching with high expectations of the students. Sometimes the information went way over my head but he would slow down to help students like myself. I would go to his office hours for help occasionally and he would stay on a topic until I understood it.

Comment:

Professor Einhaus taught a true college level class. He said it would take 9-12 hours a week, and it did. I'm used to online courses requiring 3 hours a week, so it was a shock. I did ok, and feel like I learned important reasoning skills. Einhaus was always availble to help you, by phone, or office hours, or email; he is very good face to face.

Comment:

Prof Einhaus is one of the best professors at Bakersfield College. His classes are not meant to be easy, they're meant to teach you how to be a better thinker and writer. If you want to be prepared for university level classes, I definitely recommend that you take his classes! He won't be easy, but he will make sure you come out a better student.

Comment:

VERY time consuming class. I took his class instead of English 2. It's a mix of a writing and a logic class. Dont buy textbook!, it comes with Aplia! Einhause is totally an intellectual and has arguments for and against controversial issues I had never heard before. Write using logic! Be sure and look over your papers! Fair grader. Writing improved

Worst teacher I've ever had at BC. The work is so hard and he is not helpful. The way he grades is absolutely ridiculous. I am an A student and had to drop because I was receiving an F

Had Einhaus for Advanced Comp/Critical Thinking. Definetly the hardest class at BC, but the most valuable. I transfered to a private school and the writing experience gained in that class has proven to be invaluable. DONT TAKE CLASS IF YOU CANNOT PUT IN THE TIME AND EFFORT NECESSARY. Literally, at least 5 hours a week of homework. Well worth it!

Comment:

You can't help but learn from this man. But it is hard to get a good grade, although doable. If what you want is an easy class, take one of the other folks teaching this class. if you want to get better at writing and thinking, he is your man.

He's one of the toughest professors @ BC but he will prepare for the UC or CSU system. If you plan to transfer take him.

Comment:

I took Intro to Logic online with him and the class can be pretty difficult. But the professor is really helpful and knows what he is talking about. Most of the chapters are pretty easy, only one got a little confusing for me. If you do all the homework (which isn't alot) you will pass.

Comment:

(forgot section number) class was advanced comp/critical thinking. This class was super challenging & Mr. Einhaus really pushes his students but the class will prepare you for 4-year college better than any other class as a big part of higher education is writing term papers and being able to express ideas, make a point & support it. thanks!

Comment:

This class must be the most difficult class I've taken yet, but it has been the most rewarding by far. You will spend countless hours on papers, and your writing should improve tenfold if you follow Mr. Einhaus's advice. He is conservative, but he is not looking for you to agree with him but to have *perfect* logic. Great prof.

Professor Einhaus is demanding but he will prepare for the challenges of a university. He's a shock at the junior college level but his pace is the norm in big leagues. Be prepared to work hard!!

Comment:

I would just like to warn everyone right now, this class is not easy. You have to devote at least 8 hours to a single paper in order to get a B on it. I often felt insecure and unsure about my work. This is coming from a student who always gets A's with ease. But if you honestly want to learn, this class is worth it! Einhaus is like Mr. Miyagi.

Comment:

This is not an easy A class. It requires several hours a week dedicated to homework. Einhaus does come off as a snob, but I managed to deal with it for a semester. The papers are not simple, but once you understand the format, you should be getting B's. He doesn't always collect hw, even if it was 10 pages worth. Discussed controversial topics.
