Comment:
Ian was FANTASTIC. I had no problem going to his 9am lecture because his quirky mannerisms and clear way of teaching kept me alert. I also had him for discussion and I learned so much. If you go to his office hours for papers, he is also extremely helpful. He is also a fair grader. I am not a Philosophy major at all, but I loved this class!

Comment:
I love Ian. He's so cool AND British. He's got a quirky sense of humor which kept me awake during the 9AM lecture. I had him for discussion as well and he's incredibly helpful and has knowledge in so many different fields; he definitely supplements the readings. As a philosophy major, I suggest this class as an intro Phil class. It covers so much.

He's a good lecturer, though sometimes what he lectures on is not directly related to the reading. I'm a philosophy person, so my review may be biased - but overall, I thought he was great. Very smart guy, very funny. Lots of British jokes.

He started out very enthusiastic and funny but started to wane.. now he doesn't make sense during some of his lectures and is often loses track of what he says. His accent keeps your interested though. Great at office hours, from what I hear.

Very intelligent, very funny, makes it fun to go to lecture. He knows what he's talking about and he knows how to engage students. Visit him in his office hours one-on-one; he knows philosophy. Also, Wendy Tng is an awesome GSI.

Comment:
Best professor I've had so far. I found the lectures incredibly interesting... I never skipped class just because I wanted to hear what Proops would say next. Only complaint is that I felt I deserved an A, but didn't get one. Go to office hours to get help on papers, to find out what your GSI is looking for.

Ian Proops is extremely funny, that should already be clear. I've actually been in stiches during lectures, and that was a new experience for me. He does his best to make the material interesting, yet clear... but with 232 at least, grading difficulty depends almost entirely on your assigned GSI. Steve Campbell is one GSI I highly recommend.

Great professor. Witty jokes. Not much work (around 10 pages of reading 2x/week max). 2 papers and a bluebook final. Just make sure you get a good GSI. (Proops has his own discussion section.) My GSI was very cheap about grading class participation. I talked every day for a B+ in participation. Lectures are great, but this class depends on the GSI.

He seems to really enjoy teaching this subject. I also had him as the section leader, which is very nice because he will be able to answer any questions or problems you have. I have no idea what my grade is, but I enjoyed taking this class.

Really interesting lectures... Proops is funny and has a really good way of explaining things. I really loved the class. My discussion was kind of worthless, but the lectures made up for it. I definitly recommend this class- Proops is the best professor I've had so far and the class is easy and interesting.

Very funny prof who seems to enjoy teaching. However the material in the class wasn't what i thought it would be and i found it boring at times. Has nothing to do with Proops tho, who is a very good prof.
