Comment:
This is the easiest class for PHIL 101 you can take. Weekly homework assignments with answers in the notes he types up on his website. Entered the class with a 92%, but offers like 8 to 9% of extra credit by finding ex: spin and fallacies. Gives you PDF to the textbook, so all you really need is UnSpun, and Science and Religion. Also curves tests.

Comment:
He is a really good professor who is passionate about what he teaches. He posts the notes online, gives homework once a week, and all exams are open note/open book. He says you need the textbook but his lectures/notes give you all the material you'll need. He takes attendance so you have to show up. I'd definitely recommend him.

Comment:
It's easy but no critical thinking is done in the class. His lectures are just from his website so you don't actually learn anything new. The three tests were fine. He never really seemed prepared for class. He also just spends a lot of time giving his political and religious opinions and saying people who disagree are stupid.

He starts class 10 mins late everyday and lets us go 20-30 min early everyday. Class is him talking the entire time or watching videos. VERY easy class. Don't need to listen to him talk really but should watch the videos for homework. All homework is an online quiz, which are pretty easy. 2 Midterms, 1 Final. All are open book/note, taken online.

Comment:
Very vocal about political viewpoints. His way or the highway with a lot of things. Definitely wouldn't take this class again. Class doesn't cover much, online homework is what matters, yet attendance is mandatory so you need to spend time in his class, even though it's pointless.

Comment:
Mulder is awesome! He's totally a goofball who cracks corny jokes, but also is very informative and knowledgeable! Make sure to keep on top of the online exercises on Moodle (he always reminds you) and make sure you have the UnSpun book, which is more important than the textbook. Also, open notes/ book on the tests! Love this guy!! An SSU must

Professor Mulder is very nice and approachable. The homework's can be a little challenging but tests are open notes, even finals. There is only 1 presentation but it's not a big deal can be 1-2 mins long. As long as you listen in class and do good on homework you can get an A. His notes on Moodle are very helpful.

this class was definitely not the most interesting. Dwayne Mulder is kind of an awkward guy. This class is what you make of it. If you actually try to follow the lectures is very straight forward. All tests open note and book. He posts notes throughout the class that are extremely helpful

The material is boring but Dr. Mulder tries his best to make class better! He is so nice and doesn't want students to fail his class. He assigns a quick presentation on an assigned book chapter, 1-2 open note midterms, a final (also open note) and a few online homework assignments that are a bit confusing but helpful for the tests!

This class was very easy and you barely had to attend in order to pass. The material is confusing but he makes the tests all open book and open note so it is hard to fail. This is a easy GE and Dwayne is very nice and easy to talk to.

His class was fair. The homework is hard but the tests aren't. He gives many extra credit opportunities and he is silly. At times he rambles, but you can't dislike him.

Comment:
One of the easiest classes I have taken at SSU. However, I felt as if I learned absolutely nothing while in his class. He has a decent sense of humor and definitely lets you know his political views. Allowed to use notes on exams. If you want an easy A take this class, but if you want to learn something I'd suggest getting a different professor.

Comment:
Easiest class you will ever take. Probably the most boring and pointless as well. You will learn nothing, but will get his liberal views shoved upon you. If you question anything he will take it personally and be so upset that he will rant about it for an hour and then let you leave early. But take the class for the easy A and sit on your computer.

This class is super easy so long as you go to class, sometimes I wouldn't read the book but it was fine because Dr. Mulder would go over it the next day. His lectures are a bit long; I spent most of my time on my laptop. He also has a great sense of humor. If you're looking for a chill class this is it!

Comment:
He is extremely easy. I don't know what your philosophy is with learning but he honestly added nothing to my knowlege base. I would recommend you take another teaching in philosophy 101 if you actually want to learn something. He also never asks for student opinion during lecture. Really boring.

Mulder is probably the easiest teacher you will ever have in college. Part of his grading is on attendence, but one can sit in class on their laptop the entire time. All of the homework is online. i actually never bought the book and i still passed the class with a B. and each test is 2 pages front and back of notes.

Comment:
Is Mulder very liberal? Yes. Is his class boring? Yes. Is he sometimes awkward? Yes. However, no one has the right to complain about this class. His class is very easy and you never have to write a single paper in his class. He lets you bring in pages of notes for all of his tests. I would highly reccomend this class to those that want an easy time
