Comment:

Dr. Craig was great for constitution. Two midterms, a final, and only one paper on a book of your choice. Got an A on the paper with relatively little editing. He assigns a lot of reading but if you take notes in class and go to his review sessions, you really don't need to read all that carefully because he goes over all the main points.

Comment:

Dr. Craig is a very nice man and an extremely intelligent professor. Take him for Classical Pol. Philosophy; you will learn a LOT! He's a pretty easy grader and the final exam is not difficult if you have done the readings. His lectures do tend to go a little long though. Nonetheless, you will not regret taking a class with him!

Comment:

He's a decent lecturer, but he assigns massive amounts of reading and spends 2 weeks getting through it so watch out for that. There are no official reading assignments because he goes over-time on stuff a lot.

Comment:

Great professor. Rather monotone voice though, very easy to fall asleep in. Knowledgeable and funny though if you can pay attention. Relatively easy grader. You can get away without doing some of the reading since he goes over it in class. Very helpful and very considerate. Talk to him during office hours. Just don't take him at 8am.

A difficult but excellent teacher! A great adviser and is more knowledgeable, wise and connected than you could imagine! Do not take this class if you do not like to write, and write good.... I mean well! Ha! Guess that's why I received a C+. By the way I'm no slouch!

Dr. Craig is an extremely gifted teacher. He puts into ordinary language ideas of intense interest and difficulty. He is challenging, but always understandable. He expects you to KNOW everything. And whoever said not to read for his classes is wrong.

A great teacher. The only difficulty is that he covers a lot of material very quickly, and he expects you to know it all--and tell it all--on his exams.
