You should engage in the class discussions! It will help you understand the material better. McKenzie likes students that are willing to speak up and converse. Class is entertaining, especially this past semester. Read the books, participate, show up for the quizzes and tests and take your group project seriously and you are gold!

Comment:

He is a very self-righteous person, doesn't believe that he consists of imperfections. Claims he is the best writer, and can do anything better than anyone. Excessively talks about movies and shows. Loves to play Devil's advocate but isn't open minded enough to see other sides. Offers suggestions but will tell you that you're mediocre. Conceited.

Dr. Mac makes classes fun. Hes a "I don't give a crap" teacher. That however can turn bad. His tests are SUPER HARD! It very easy to fail and fall behind in his class. The only extra credit is Socrates contest and that it. Don't ask him for any.

Comment:

Ok class but being Philosophy you'd think it'd be more serious than just how you 'feel'. I would prefer if his quizzes and tests actually had to with concepts rather than just to see if you read the book. E.g. "what was the gender of the protagonist's friend?" Instead of the actual point of the story. That's what makes this class hard.

Comment:

Very hard course. There is only a few grades, so if you do poorly on one, it really can hurt your grade. Wish we would have spent more than a few weeks going over theories, since the exam material is 50% of your grade. Class time is mostly discussion. Be sure to read rubric for group project!

Comment:

Dr. McKenzie is overrated. Everyone said to take one of his classes because they're "fun". This was a 100 level class but he treated it like a 400 level class and I had to teach myself everything from the book.

Easy to talk to. If you like to question things and have your mind mess with then his class is for you. He challenges me with questions after I ask him questions. Don't have to go to class if you are sick or he will kick you out.

Comment:

i made the mistake of thinking the course would be easy cuz he wears shorts. Big mistake. I like the videos and movies but they make sense so if you just study them and the books, you'll do fine. great prof, but if you don't like movies stay away. He also likes Family Guy...!
