Comment:

He got shouldered with the massive burder of first year PHIL (with HUMS kids). He does the best he can, which is fine. Plays the devil's advocate well, and seems amazingly patient. Approachable, open, soft-spoken, and overall a good prof. Maybe a tinge dull, but that's unavoidable in any INTRO TO course. Good dry humour too.

Comment:

This prof is awesome, he knows his philosophy so well that he is able to have intelligent conversations with the class rather than just lecture. He understands the complex issues well enough that he can play the devil's advocate, too.

Comment:

One of my favourite profs, easily. Really nice guy, a bit soft spoken even with the mic. Class gets a little boring, and tolerates dumb questions way to much, which there are an abundance of. That stupid purple-hat guy and that little short puggy dude suc

Name is spelled "DeVidi." Easy tests, tougher on essays. Soft-spoken and approachable. Has too much tolerance for the dumb questions of others. Boring but thorough and clear.

Incredibly nice guy. Very good at explaining and summarizing complex philosophical texts. But sit up front if you want to listen: he doesn't project all that well...
