Comment:
Professor Lebus is an incredible professor. While he is a tough grader, his teaching style is excellent and his in class lectures and discussions are profoundly enjoyable. There is a bit of work, but nothing exceptional or impossibly problematic. Further, he let students turn in late assignments at full credit and always gave work back quickly.

Professor Lebus has been one of my favorites. His class is thought-provoking and pulls you outside of your comfort zone, which I really enjoyed. There are healthy debates/conversations each class. Participation is strongly encouraged. You are assigned 300 word gem paragraphs throughout the semester, and there is no final.

No attendance, but his lectures are needed. Doesn't like the internet so doesn't use D2L. Just Gem Paragraphs- 300-word paragraph. Grades them hard, but will look at a rough draft to help you get a good grade. Lectures and wants the class to join in for their opinion. Some lectures are different but he wants you to thinking differently on things.

No exams. Just papers, some group work, some discussions, and some news. He is an amazing teacher who cares about teaching morality most of all.

Comment:
The only graded items are 4 one-page papers, and he's not a generous grader. He likes in-class discussion, and hates D2L (and textbooks, apparently). What makes me like him most is that he lets the class read whatever they want for twenty minutes at the beginning of each lecture. That alone earns him a 5, in my opinion.

Professor Lebus is a great professor but you're only graded on a sketchbook which he wants you to write or draw in and it's really tough getting a passing grade unless you wow him. Class is interesting though and you learn a lot of mind blowing stuff about a variety of different subjects.

He grades hard. Even tells us he doesn't give out many A's. He said he gave away 5 A's last semester. He has more then 200 students so thats not good. He expects everyone to talk. he talks about uncomfortable topics and if you don't want to talk about something that makes you feel awkward he'll come up to you and force you to talk about it. Bad.

Professor Lebus was an okay teacher. Everyday you would introduce yourself. There is no books to the class but you will be graded on gem paragraphs. They cannot be longer than 300 words. He grades them from 0-10. He barely gives out 10's. You will have to write 4-5 gem paragraphs for the whole semester.

Bruce will make you think when you are writing your Gem paragraph. If you worry taking Ethics, don't be. I took his class philosophy before and he is such a fun professor. Even though there's a gem in almost every week and is based on discussion, that we discussed in class.

If you want to have everything you THINK you know challenged, as well as your mind completely blown, then take Professor Lebus for Ethics. He is one of the most intelligent individuals I have ever met. No textbooks, no tests, no quizzes, and no projects. Show up, open your mind, pay attention, and do the assigned GEM paragraphs.

Lebus made the Ethics subject very interesting and enjoyable. Sometimes he would be a little too headstrong on his opinions which might've offended some. The only thing that is graded is the weekly paragraphs that he graded sort of tough. No tests or other homework.

The homework consists of a weekly half-page paper about what we discussed in class so you must attend class to have good writing material. The second grading piece is a weekly book log from a reading of your choice. No textbook. His lectures are interesting, involves the whole class, and really gets you thinking outside the box!

Didn't like the class to begin with but at the end of the semester I wished it never ended. Interesting topics, no text book required. Lebus is a tough grader but you have to try as well. Late hw is better than no hw which means some points are better than no points. You can still get full credit depending if your paragraphs are a Gem ;)

Bruce was a great inspirational professor. This is my second time having him as a professor for two different subjects and he didn't fail to amaze me once again. Opened my eyes to a world I didn't think much about, even got me into reading books. I received an A once again in his class (which some say is hard) it is not hard if you engage in class

So what if he doesn't give students A's?! Easy class! No book! He makes you think on interesting situations. Just show up, participate and do your small homework. Many students should be happy they pass instead of focusing on their "perfect" GPA. Only thing I disliked is the ignorant, bias, responses from other students during class participation.

Professor Lebus does not make you buy a book. Instead he prints out daily discussions topics for lecture. 3 Gem Paragraphs are due every Thursday and it pretty much consists of 500 word argument paper in regards to his lectures. He has you bring any reading book of choice to read in class for about 20 min. No Tests!

Bruce was a great professor. Most of his classes are lecture based, but more of a conversation between the class on ethics in current events. If you show passion for the class and write good weekly paragraphs you will get a good grade. Attendance is not mandatory but will matter in the end if you are missing.
