Comment:

Gary was a real gem. I enjoyed having him as a professor. Beware, there are only 2 tests in the course, which are entirely short answer/ essay questions. However, if you pay attention, take notes, and do the readings he is very reasonable in grading. He is overall very quirky, but very caring, and will always meet for coffee.

Comment:

Gary is an interesting man. Hes nice and he means well, but he is very awkward and doesnt always know how to say things. He likes to go to the Ponder and is there to help you with anything you might need. He will also buy you coffee/food for coming to see him too. Overall though, he was very helpful when learning about philosophy.

Gary has amazing lectures, even though he can go off topic a tad. Other than that, he's funny, smart, and a fair grader. Take him.

Comment:

Grade comprised of daily pop quizzes (for attendance & the reading), 1 essay, 1 presentation, & 2 exams. Not the most interesting class, but the material is not super difficult if you read & pay attention, & he is a reasonable grader. He is always offering help outside of class.

Comment:

Professor Fuller is the sweetest professor ever. There are random quizzes but they are only 2 points, one point for attendance. He goes very slow and in depth to make sure he covers everything. Take notes and you will get an easy A. He is available every day and always makes that known. He really cares about his students.

Has a quiz every day of class for attendance on the readings you have to do. Very little assignments. Attendance is 15% of grade and there are only 3 other assignments that count towards grade. Would not recommend for an early class. Super funny guy but very scatterbrained.

Comment:

He is the sweetest guy you will ever meet. He truly wants to do his best to help you get a good grade and he truly does care about you which is refreshing. There are quizzes every day on the reading that is worth 2 points each. You get 1 point just for coming to class. There is a midterm and a final. A huge paper due and a presentation also.

Comment:

I had Gary for an 8AM but I was never bored. Make sure to do each reading assignment because he'll give pop quizzes over them. Take notes of examples he gives during lectures, and when you write the paper/exam responses, make sure you are very thorough with each example. He only grades you based on the quizzes, a presentation, a paper, and 2 exams.

Comment:

This was my 1st Philosophy class but Mr. Fuller did a great job at teaching the material. The subject was hard to grasp at times but he grades pretty lenient as long as you talk to him about it. He is a cute little old man and he made me laugh every since class period. Definitely would take this class with him, make sure you give him a chance!

Comment:

He is very unorganized and scatterbrained; however, he was one of my favorite professors. He is all over the place and entertaining. He also very clearly cares and is willing to help students. If you put forth effort, you can get a good grade quite easily. As far as the books go, you don't need them if you attend lectures - which also give easy pts

Comment:

Fuller is really weird. He goes off on tangents all the time and I did not learn much of anything from this class, but the 2 exams, presentation and paper were pretty easy. There are also reading quizzes occasionally, but those do not add up to much if you're active in class.

Comment:

Gary Fuller may be a nice man who cares for his students, but his classes are so unorganized that it is difficult to have a hold on what is going on. Course material was hard, and when you add a professor who cant put together coherent thoughts, it creates a frustrating atmosphere. However, I emerged with a B+, as he grades fairly easily.

Comment:

He was the most goofist professor. His personality is just so funny! Though I did not like this class. You have long readings alot and he gave us a quiz on them just about almost every day. Quizzes are only worth 2 points but they add up! Exams are all essays..every question. He gives long study guides when the exam is only 1/5 of the study guide.

Comment:

can be easy or hard. He gives your readings and then quizes on the readings worth 2 points, although often times this semester he opted out of giving quizes and just sent around a sheet for your name. Exams are completely written and the study guide is very long. but he grades fairly easy. Says things that make us laugh unintentionally

Comment:

He is one of the funniest professors I've ever had or even met. Go to class so you don't have to read. He is very enthusiastic and does an awesome "HIYA" ninja kick or something. Easy class if its required, I suggest taking him and having an open mind when doing so.

Comment:

Yes, he is crazy, but he also loves this subject and definitely knows his stuff. If you can keep an open mind about his mannerisms and pay attention throughout the course you'll be fine. I never read the books, never took notes, and still aced the course. Take him.

Comment:

He's a pretty crazy guy. I always read and took notes, but his lectures were all over the place. Talks an obscene amount about homosexuality, Sex, and the Bible being wrong. Expects EVERY college student to be a democrat. Really easy, but if you take offense to these kinds of things you might want to avoid him. Makes you think though!

Comment:

Fuller is deffinatley something else. Crazy short man but funny. He grades really easily...someone said easy to get a C, try easier to get an A- B. I never bought the book, turned the paper in late and ended up with a B+. In class quizes consist of signing in for attendance. super easy!
