Dr. O'Neill is one of the reasons Iona is great! I was fortunate enough to have him as a professor during my Freshman year, and saw him today off campus since graduating in 08, and thanked him.

I truly wish this man was my best friend. He is a brilliant professor, and incredibly easy to get help from. I took his upperlevel class my freshman year, first semester. He lets you rewrite essays for his classes until you get an A, and is generally hilarious.

Comment:

Philosophy in general is boring but he did make it interesting at times. He gives us crazy examples but it does help especially when it comes to test. To pass his essay test just FILL UP the blue book and you will get an A . I filled up half the book & got a D and on the next test I filled up the book and got an A!! Just write a bunch of examples.

Comment:

I little hard to get an A, but easy to get a B+. He hands you a study guide before every test, which makes it easy. If you use his words and write a lot on the tests he will love it. your grade is based on 4 tests and they are all essays. the essays aren't bad and give room for extra credit. I personally like philosophy so I could stay awake.

Comment:

Hard to pay attention to, but if you actually listen, he's funny sometimes. Yes he's a hard grader on the essays he gives, but thats because he gives you everything you need to know on a review sheet before the test. Pay attention, take notes, and study, and you'll get an A

Comment:

oh my god! this professor absolutely was awful, i swear he spoke like he was on something...like he was telling a child a story and got a far away look in his eyes while doing this. no matter how hard I tried i never got more than a C on his exams. He likes it when you fill the book up completely basically...don't take him.

Comment:

I def. didn't have an interest in philosophy at all but he wasn't a bad philosophy teacher. He explained it in a manner that everyone could understand and although the topics are extremely boring, if you fill out the whole book on the test and know somewhat what your talking about you'll get a good grade. I'd take him.

Comment:

I enjoyed this class. He does not like it at all when you are late and he will make that very obvious. He is very helpful, gives out good examples in class, and always asks if anyone has any questions. He hands out an outline before the test. Take good notes! The tests were all essays in the blue booklette. I got an A, I recommend him.

Comment:

Nice guy...very serious when it comes to attendance. If you walk in late during his lecture he'll stop talking, look down at the floor, and wait until you take your seat. He'll then say "Please...see me after class." Kinda ridiculous but makes you come to class on time haha...TAKE GOOD NOTES!

I really didn't like him as a teacher. I had him for Moral Philosophy and he put me to sleep every class. As for his tests, once you know what he is looking for, it isn't hard to pass them.
