Borody is AMAZING. loved every minute of his classes. Definitely will be taking more from him. Made the course material exciting somehow, and expectations very clear. Highly recommend.

Comment:

Bit out there, but a professional nevertheless. Good to take for a break from the usual stressful, fast-paced university environment. Cant say that Ive learned anything new from the current course, but having detailed feedback on my argumentative skills (essays and discussions) is always great. Cares about education, cares about his students.

Comment:

Wayne is hilarious. I am taking other courses of his because I loved his class I took in second year so much. He is a little disorganized and procrastinatey but in the end it doesn't matter because he is great at his job. You may not learn the course material as well as you do other stuff though. But you will learn. It will be interesting.

Fun, but very disorganized. Relies too much on YouTube videos that sometimes have little relevance to the course material.

What can you say about Wayne? Highly interesting,friendly, helpful,and cool.He IS ?out-there? and that is why he is that rare commodity,a gem of a prof who is not afraid to think outside the box and shackles of political correctness.A free-spirited non-conformist (in a first-rate way).Highly refreshing!Wayne was the BEST prof I had at Nip.U.

I really wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved him. Fun classes, other than the slightly boring movies, good relation to current events and issues. Only complaint: the assignment was very vague, no real requirements.

I love Wayne! I will probably take another Phil. course just because of him. You don't really need the books, but come to class, it's fun. He's a good man.

Comment:

He's a great prof, but don't buy the books until he gets to them, you won't need a lot of them. (although they're interesting books on their own and might help you in other classes) He's also great with deadlines, but not so good at checking his email.

great to listen to for 3 hours. Recommend you read or at least know something about plato, niz, athens, greece...and even latin. he is really "out there" and maybe you should have a drink before class to be more open-minded...if not,...you'll need a drink after class!!!

Wasn't at all interested in Philosophy but I finished University 3 years ago and still remember how fun that class was. He makes it very interesting and is humerous, also gets debates going in class which are always comical!

He is flexable with deadlines and interesting to listen to - he comes up with the craziest ideas. Not sure if he is nice or creepy, but I like him regardless.

Wonderful person and incredibly dynamic lecturer. I can clearly recall one of his retellings from the Mahabharta in first year. He was flexible with deadlines...which RULES.

Dr. B is a good prof, disorganized and freaky but that makes him charming. A fair marker but you can't really pull any punches ... you know it, or you don't ... but that was then ... 1992
