I not only took philosophy from Mr. Dill, but I went back and took world religions too. His classes are not easy, but I learned sooooo much from him. Actually life changing.

Comment:

He is helpful if you need it, but always late! Don't expect him to be in his office hours- he is usually between 45 mins to an hour late to all of his office hours. The class is though but not impossible- just keep up on the homework and study your 't cards. If you have a choice, don't take his class though.

Comment:

Dill is a fun teacher. I was in a philosophy class equivalent to this one about three weeks before I started taking the class with Dill and there is no comparison. He makes his students think and is very fun to listen to. It is a challenging class though, so do the reading and retain as much of it as you can. He wants student involvement!

Comment:

He tends to go on tangents during lectures. Go to his office hours he is more than happy to help. He gives quizzes that have 5 T/F questions on them about twice a week (out of the 3 days/week that I had him). 50 MC question test, essay test, semi comprehensive final and one essay. Grades on curve. If you ACTUALLY READ you'll do great

Very scattered teacher and confusing. If you have to take make sure to not sit in the front row. Some would call it the splash zone.

I LOVE DILL! I will admit, he is a very hard teacher. You will be expected to write some essays and his tests are tricky, BUT he is more than willing to help you through them if you just visit on his office hours. His lectures are awesome. If you want an easy grade, Dill is not for you. If you want to learn and truly enjoy this course, take DIll.

Wow he is all over the place.He takes forever to give you back tests wich are realy wierd tests in the 1st place. The good thing is he grades on the curve so since everyone dose pretty poor in the class you don't have to be an all star to pass the class.

This man is awesome! His teaching is clear, though a bit eccentric. He is more than willing to answer questions during and after class and in his office hours, or even sometimes if you just see him on campus. I am only just beyond halfway done with his class, but I look forward to going every time.

He was a very bad teacher that really does not have a clue what's going on. Never gives papers back and is very argumentative. Feels that he has to prove he is smarter than the students in his class. Do not take this class.

Passionate person who should not be teaching. He loves philosophy but never returns tests or papers. Will keep you guessing what your grade is until the end of the class. Always goes off on tangents. Hard to pay attention. Don't take this class...whatever you do!

He's a great instructor and passionate about every word that comes out of his mouth. Sometimes I think he loves to here himself talk. Hes not one to argue with. Long winded. Usually I try not to say anything that might get him of subject. He is never on schedual. Kind of chaotic! Fun and very interesting.

After taking this class, I'm frustrated and exhausted. I can't even explain the amount of effort I put into this class, and I'm probably going to end up with just a B. Grrr.
