Comment:

Whidden is awesome! I love his classes and I can't wait to take him again. He is very thoughtful and knows his stuff. If you aren't into political philosophy, don't take him because you won't like or understand the course. He makes you think, and I've learned more from him than most other profs. He is enjoyable to have conversations with too. Hot!

Comment:

The paper you got an A on in the beginning of class would have gotten a C or D depending on how he was feeling! He needs to improve the accuracy of grading papers. Sometimes good papers are bad and the bad ones are good.

Comment:

He assumes that people who score well on Quizes/Exams are not worth calling on in class---even if they have questions that need to be answered.

Comment:

Chris is still a graduate student. He is one of the best instructors I've ever had and without a doubt was the primary force for me finally picking a major [I had changed three times before]. Great instructor, even better person.

Excellent teacher. He's only a grad. student, but this guy is smarter than most of my profs. Take him if you get the chance - the experience is worth it.
