Comment:

If you can get past the fact that Roberts personality and the way he speaks is as dry as toast, he's actually a really good teacher. You can tell he's really into the concepts of ethics. And the class is actually really interesting, and makes you think big. However, I will admit the lectures can get really drawn out sometimes.

He was a nice teacher but his monotoned voice made lectures difficult to get through. You have 5, 40 point quizzes that were 10 true/ false question worth 3 pts each and one essay question worth 10. You also have to write 1 paper and give one presentation in front of the class.

Love him! he was so kind and easy going. He does have a slow voice that will make you sleepy so bring a coffee. You will need to use the book. All he does is lecture and you take notes, study those and you will be able to pass easily. I got an A and I'm not that good in school. Go to class but if you don't have someone send you their notes.

I did like him. He was very fair. I personally didn't do too well in his class considering the fact that it was every Saturday for like 6 hours lol. Lecture does drag, but I do recommend him.

Great teacher, his voice and style of presenting the lecture makes the class enjoyable. Attendance mandatory to get a good grade and extra credit. Take notes from his lecture (he usually repeats stuff so its easy to take) and read them before the test you will pass. 2 easy take home exams, read the chapter he assigns and notes you will pass with A.

LOVE HIM! He's great. He's a very kind old man who tends to repeat himself because he knows not everyone gets things the first time he says it I have SO much respect for him. He's absolutely wonderful

Not enough assignments so you have to take every quiz to pass, the professor was gone for the first half of the semester can came back with a completely different grading schedule so it threw everyone off. He does not give extra credit and his 15 question quizzes are worth 50 points Good class but I would try a different professor.

Comment:

Great at explaining information, goes over it multiple times so it sticks. Gives 5 h/w assignments and 4 tests. Extra credit was based on attendance/participation. I personally liked his personality. He isn't very humorous, but does his job well. I would recommend him. This course does require outside studying, and he gives tutor information.

Comment:

Professory Graham is such a good guy. He is understanding and he really wants you to understand the work. I took him for Logic and got an A am an currently taking him for Philosophy and plan to get an A. He can be boring but he also makes lecture a little interesting. Great Teacher

Comment:

He is kind of boring and hard to understand his teaching at first, but after a few weeks its easier to understand what he is saying, if you pay attention. He reminds you of future tests and assignments, he is nice and is always willing to help if you don't understand. Tests are kind of hard, if you read the book and study you should do fine though!

Comment:

he is SOOO boring!! he pronounces the "H" in where and why so i was constantly laughing at him. he repeats himself, so my advice is to listen for the 1st sentense of each topic then zone out for the next 10 mins. he sometimes says things he probably souldn't. besides that, his tests are extremely easy. just study the book the night before a test.

Comment:

Class is extremely boring and the professor is very hard to understand. He constantly repeats himself and talks to you like you're 5. Quizs are pretty easy and final exams are take home. There is also two in-class writing assignments. Class would be much more interesting if their were a different professor.

Comment:

Very boring. If you are looking for an easy summer class to take at mcc this is not it. The concept of Ethics is not an easy one but with this professor it becomes more complicated that necessary. The text is necessary for the completion of the course. He does not have prepared lectures or slides for notes. I would not advise others to take this

Comment:

Professor Grahm is a very kind person. Does his best to be clear and concise, actually goes a little overboard. His class is not extremely hard, but some work will be necessary to pass. If you have to have Logic and you go to Macomb, I think he's the only one teaching it, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Very nice and helpful guy. Gave constant feed and helpful feedback on all assignments and even profread your final paper for you before it was due so you could get the best possible grade! I think you have to put for effort into failing his class than passing it.

Comment:

I really believe he is a great professor. He repeats himself because the material can be confusing. He tries to provide examples from different angles in order for everyone to understand thoroughly. He is very organized and speaks very clearly. I recommend him if this is a required class.

I did okay in this class, I wish he was a little more clear, but other than that he was great. Midway through the semester I got really ill and he totally understood and let me make up everything I had missed.I give him props for that.

Let's just say that this guy seems to have some issues, and i'm sure you'll know what im talking about when you take him. Anyways hes a good teacher sometimes he makes things sound a little more complicated than they really are but a little reading will clarify everything. Very understanding and helpful, easy to get along with, study for tests...

Comment:

Absolutely the most boring teacher I've ever had. We got stuck with this guy halfway through the semester when the real professor got ill. I wish I would've dropped at the switch. He repeats himself so much he COULD get the material done in 10 minutes. He goes off on tangents so much only a miniscule amount of what he says is even worth anything.
