Comment:

Weitzman is a super easy philosophy prof if you just want to meet your requirement. I didn't do any readings and would up with an A in both classes. Just go to the lectures and take notes and you have everything you need for her tests and papers!! She basically gives you a paragraph by paragraph outline of what she wants in papers.

very helpful and nice but it seems like shes very shy and nervous about teaching the class. Tests arent that hard you just need to take all of her notes.

Is a nice prof. Knows her stuff but has a difficult time portraying that to the students. Overall class isn't too tough. Is willing to help with any questions.

Scared to teach the class kinda.Sooo hard to pay attention. 3 papers only. Easy grader though. I didn't read one thing and I have an A. NO attendence policy. Super boring class but easy to get a good grade and you never have homework.

Easy, you write 3 papers and that's it. Take notes in class and ask her any questions you have. If you're having trouble on the papers meet with her and she'll help. But she is boring and weird. People fell alseep everyday.

She was very disorganized and was almost scared to teach the class. She is very hard to learn from and her tests are difficult. She is very helpful with the final paper and is fair.

Extremely boring. Want to fall asleep every class. Tests are very hard and she can't explain anything very well. Takes attendence and participation is part of your grade.

Very difficult to understand lectures. Goes off on random tangents based off of idiots questions and theories. Fairly easy tests if you review selected material however she uses terms not discussed in class on material covered in class.

Very scattered lecturer. Her classes work best when a student can step up and explain something, then let her correct and elaborate. Very helpful and concerned with students' learning.

Very good professor; I find myself hooking on very easily to her points. She explains the material so well that I have no trouble bringing in things learned from my other philosophy courses. Handles idiots in the classroom very well.

I thought she was very helpful. Her class was laid back which made it stress free to go to. She was a surprisingly difficult grader for the few papers she assigned which made her class frustrating.

Team taught w Siobhan Marshall. Way hard to follow lectures, seems to get nervous in front of class. Easy grader, helpful out of class, but does not compensate for lectures.

Comment:

Phil of Human Person: Assigned papers before returning old ones, would hold onto papers for 3-5 weeks, kinda hard to understand her grading style when you dont get anything back. She was writting something for a journal and that was more important.
