Comment:

Not a bad class. Really nice guy, good intentions. Tests weren't bad, very direct about what it was going to be on. His book was a little wierd and was his interpretation of philosophy so the class as a whole was definately out there and not your typical philosophy class.

Comment:

the actual class was a complete waste of time, i was half asleep every day. the class is easy because he doesn't make you memorize stuff about ancient philosophers, he creates his own philosophy of human nature. gives you the essay questions for midterm/final in advance. service learning is an easy way out of a hard paper.

Comment:

Tallon is extremely boring; he teaching his own personal philosophy, rather than the philosophy of established men who came before him. This class was a waste of my time

He's crazy but a very nice guy. Hard to get an A, but easy to get an AB. He is very interesting, but his neuroscience lectures are super confusing.

Comment:

The class was unbelievably boring and pointless. I felt like the only point in going to lecture was just to catch a few z's and maybe get the essay prompts for the midterm/final. I learned nothing from this class and view it as a complete waste of my time.

The most boring class I have ever taken. It is a battle to stay awake...one that you want to lose. But the exam essays are given to you ahead of time.
