Comment:

Really chill professor. I bought the book in new condition and never once opened it. Quizzes in every class if not most classes. There was 1 extra credit opportunity in this semester. During class he will show a video, lecture, and give out the quiz you can do with a partner or in a group, then if there isn't anything else planned you can go home.

He is my favorite teacher, his class is really interesting, and you don't need the textbook which is great. For intersession you get group quizzes almost everyday, besides the midterm and final. And no homework (-:

Comment:

His Intro to Philosophy class is pretty easy. You don't need the textbook, just show up and pay some attention. IMO, philosophy is pretty subjective, so I don't like that his tests are MCQ. Just read the notes online if you wanna get A. He likes it when people ask questions but the class is lecture-based and you watch movies.

Dr. Wells made Phil 60 and Phil 65 the easiest, most fun classes to learn in. Fun fact: this professor will write a book by next year to argue with Harvard professors. This guy sure knows his stuff!

Dr. Wells is a solid teacher. The quizzes can be challenging but you are allowed to use notes and work in groups. No notes or groups during tests so be prepared.

Took him for intersession. Allows to use notes for quiz everyday except for midterm and final. Everything is multiple choice and you get confused on many questions but if you pay lot of attention you can do good. He's strict on grading the skit and essay and thats what brings your grade down.

Took Dr. Wells class during intersession. He lets his students use notes during tests besides the midterm and final. Just pay attention in class an ask questions, then you'll do fine.

Mandatory attendance, all material from books. Group quizzes but solo midterms/final (which are composed of material from quizzes). Very easy to pass the class if you study his notes uploaded on Moodle. Lots of movies watched during class ;) Good teacher overall. He is pretty funny when making jokes:)

His class is super easy... to fall asleep in! He is a nice teacher and his class is not that hard just read the book and you will do fine. Quizzes and tests and reading for hw is what youre looking at with him as a professor.

took this class last fall and it was pretty easy. I mean, i thought the quizzes were hard, but he lets you work in groups. He discards your lowest quiz score and the final is the sum of the questions on the quizzes. He uploads the quizzes online, so keep your scantrons! gives e.c. too! attendance is mandatory. got an A

Comment:

He is super easy. All quizzes (besides quiz #1) were group quizzes so you get alot of help from your peers. The midterm and final are all of your previous quizzes combined, word for word. He is so nice. Extra credit is worth like 1-2 letter grades for the final. SO EASY AND SO NICE! The material would be alot harder if you had someone else.

hes a really nice man. Hes really easy but at the same time it can be hard if you dont go to class. You have to study for the quizzes because your grade will depend on them. Just dont get lazy and your good.

Really nice teacher. Attendance is not mandatory. No HW in the class so the class is base on the test. The book it rather cheap since it cost are $40-$80. You might need it. but I barely read the book and got a B. The exams are all multiply choice and he lets you do extra credit to boost your exam score(only 1 maybe 2 exams).Lets you drop one exam.
