Comment:
Dan is probably one of my favorite teachers of all time. I was interested in the subject to begin, and he used the discussion-based-lectures to really shape my critical, philosophical thinking. A ton of fun to talk to and joke with, I highly recommend taking him. Make sure you want to learn.

way too hard for a 100-level. you really need to know this stuff if you are going to get through it all, though he is a nice man. final was mostly writing anything that i could remember. we got to watch the matrix in class though :)

Hard class...raises a lot of internal questions though. Don't take him if you don't grasp philosophy that well.

This class is stinkin' HARD. It's really complicated and deals a lot more with science than I expected. I was looking for more philosophy. Dan is a good teacher and facilitates discussion well. I'd recommend it if you're prepared to do a lot of reading and pondering.

Good teacher but seems to play favorites. If he likes you, he'll be more prone to give you a better grade. If he doesn't really like you than you won't get a good grade no matter what. Nonetheless, a very good teacher but not such a good grader.

Awesome teacher!! Make sure you take him for intro. to philosophy. Tests are kind of hard but not impossible. He will mess with your mind but he really gets you to start thinking about life and the way you see things. You have to take this guy!!

This man is amazing.He cares about me as an individual, not just a student.His lectures are more like discussions, which is how philosophy should be.He expects participation, but takes questions seriously no matter how dumb they sound.Take him if you can!
