Comment:

He is the type of professor that makes paying our tuition worthwhile. He's a quintessential philosophy professor.. so don't expect facts or clarity, but if you're open minded and have a brain you will leave this class with a brand new paradigm on scientific medicine and the harm it does. Good investment of your time.

Comment:

Page is the man. He is like a wizard. Do not take if you don't like having to think about things--but if you do the reward is great. If you go and talk to him outside of class you will not forget the conversation. The papers can seem confusing, but if you just write about what you're thinking and don't try to BS it, youll get an A

AWFUL. Most boring class I have ever taken. There are only 4 papers but he grades so hard. Never takes attendance/ doesn't know names so it's easy to skip. Rambles on about nothing the whole class...

One of my favorite professors at Quinnipiac University. Hes so cute and if you listen to him in class and take notes, you will get a A on every paper. He's such a nice man, and made me really interested in philosophy.

Comment:

Hard grader, but forgiving if you don't get everything in on time. He's a good professor for philosophy, he likes to make his students think. Do NOT take his class unless you are actually interested in the subject. Talks a lot, not good for a morning class. Loves telling stories. Material is interesting if you're open to it.

Extremely hard grader. Always get A's in other classes on papers, could only pull a B with Page. Loves to hear himself talk, not as intelligent as other people say - although not stupid. Very unclear on what he wants.

Comment:

He has really interesting ideas and will make you think differently. There isn't much to read and there are only four papers the entire semester. He is a tough grader and rarely gives anything higher then a B. Leaves paper assignments up to the student so you can basically write whatever you want as long as you support it.

Comment:

He is a very smart man, and he will make you question everything. He makes class really interesting, and this is perhaps the only philosophy class I actually enjoyed. A "B" is a good grade for any class he teaches b/c he really doesn't believe in giving As unless you really do some outstanding work (like on his level).

Comment:

The guy is a genius, and expects people to write half decent papers. It's true he doesn't take attendance, but he's not moron. He knows who shows up and who doesn't and thats usually reflected in the semester grade. It's pretty pathetic if people are rating the guy on his attendance policy. Page has published books and he has a lot to offer.

Comment:

Truly interesting, he is on a different level. True grades unfairly. Not a terrible thing but A's are a rare thing. He believes grade scale is inflated and Bs are excellance Whatever makes you think and its worth way more than jotting notes takign memory tests and getting a A in Philosophy. Take him

Comment:

He is an extremely intelligent man and makes you think on a different level than your normally would. You don't have to get an A on all the papers to get an A in the class. I got a B-, A, B+/A-, and an A on the 4 papers and I still got an A in the class. Definitely take him!!

Comment:

He does keep the class going with his thought provoking questions and ideas. He also enjoys and wants discussion. However, I don't know what it takes to get an A in his class.
