Class is fun and centered around discussion. There is a lot of reading but you'll want to do it for the discussions. Other than participation, the rest of the grade is papers. If you like to write and discuss philosophy, this is a great class.

SUCH a great professor. Very helpful, funny, and interesting. Lectures might get a little boring some days, but for the most part the discussions were stimulating and thought provoking. Reading is pretty dense and heavy but he goes over it pretty clearly and answers all questions. Definitely turned out to be one of my favorite classes!

Labarge is the man. There is some reading to do, but the guy is a great lecturer. He's hilarious and entertaining. If you pay attention and read you should be able to get at least an A-. For papers, go in for help! He is extremely helpful on papers!

Awesome teacher. If you go in to see hi, before a paper is due to get his feedback and help, you will get no less than an A-. He is clear about what he wants and is extremely eager to help his students. It is so clear how much he cares for his students. He truly wants them to learn and will do anything he can to help them excel. TAKE LABARGE

He is such a funny, quirky guy. In-class discussions are never boring. The readings were long at times, but so interesting; and he definitely provides a new perspective on the material that you may not have ever considered before. He is a great professor and will accept any argument as long as you can back it up with logical statements.

He is funny and clear in lectures. He makes classics more fun than it should be. Quite the slow grader, but understandable since he has young children at home.

Really great guy. He is very passionate about philosophy and is very attentive to the students needs. A lot of class discussion, and be sure to speak up a lot so he can get to know you. It will help you out when you need to talk to him or if you need letters of recommendation. A LOT of reading, not always interesting, but topics were fascinating.

Comment:
Very caring professor and class is usually a debate. Be careful though if your views differ from the majority and especially his. If you think differently be careful with your arguments; he is very sensitive and doesn't appreciate a true discussion/ debate, especially if you are very strong and on the opposite side of his views/ beliefs.

Hands down not only the coolest prof/teacher I have ever had, but probably the coolest (and yes, nerdiest) guy i know outside of my own age group. He's the kind of professor you wish you could just hang out with all the time outside of class. Classes can be a bit heavy on the reading, but if you have a chance to take one of them dont pass it by!

He is a huge nerd but very funny and entertaining. There is a lot of reading!!! It is a socratic class so you don't need to talk and therefore do not need to do the reading all of the time. However, if you don't do the reading it will bite you in the ass when it comes to the final. He is an easy grader if you do what he says. I recommend him!

Very good teacher. Very interesting class, and very interesting to talk with him. He will help you out if you are in need and also makes class very enjoyable. He's very clear with what he teaches and what he expects, I definitely think he's one of the better teachers I've had at SCU. Don't even need to buy textbooks. He puts them all on angel

He is an amazingly cool guy. He is very easy to talk to and even though he does not have a lot of extra time to spare, if you need help he WILL find time for you always.

Comment:
The reading assignments were ridiculously long, and a lot of them were very dry. But after the first few classes you realized that he gives a synopsis of the assignment every day, so you don't REALLY have to read them all. He's very popular during office hours, so get therer early and be prepared to wait.
