Comment:

Moody and self-absorbed. I gave up asking for feedback when instead of telling me what I got wrong, he told me that I should see the Dalhouse Counselling Services. Fortunately a fellow student was able to explain what I had gotten wrong, rather than dismissing me as crazy.

Comment:

I went into this prof's class really excited about the subject matter. Now I just drag myself in to write the quizzes, and can't bring myself to pay attention for more than five minutes at a time. B.O.R.I.N.G. I don't find his quizzes too horrible though: just read the text, make a couple notes, and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Intelligent and articulate, with well chosen class materials. Mandatory attendance and participation is unecessarily paternalistic and inappropriate for some types of leaners. One of Dal's better Philosophy Professors.

Comment:

BORING. Avoid him if you want to stay awake during class. Also, be ready for sob stories about anything from his lack of poweroint skills to his personal life. He practically begs you to stay in class, then gives you quizes where wrong answers COST you points. that was so dumb

Wonderful Prof... Just make sure to take lots of notes. His quizzes can be hard if you don't prepare. But, he is a fair marker!

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES! I should have listened to other people, if he is teaching this course, dont take it. Otherwise it would have been a great class.

Thoughtful, considerate and brilliant professor. He may not "wow" you with his speaking, but he's very approachable and genuinely cares about philosophy and his students. I miss his classes.
