Comment:

He doesn't engage with studies. He wrote an ineffective notebook that is all you use for the semester. His test structure and grading policies are stupid for a 100class. He needs to be fired from this position. Use his online study guides from the PHL website, they are the only good study tool for his stupid class. If you skip it doesn't matter.

Comment:

This professor expects you to read from his packets and later learn that some of the things from that packet isn't right. On the homework he expects you to write neatly when you can't read his comments, and he always has spelling, word, and sentence errors but expects you to get the answers right.

Comment:

He tells everyone at the start of the semester that if they need to pass the class , they just need to talk to him and he will give extra assignments. When you do ask him what to do to pass the class, he just answers, "study more." His exams are faulty with spelling and word errors and expects you to get them right still.

Comment:

The lectures are long and very repetitive, yet the material is still very confusing. Be prepared to take notes just from listening as he often does not write things down. The tests are tough, and homework is expected every day. He is understanding, but is not very efficient or clear. This class is tough.

Comment:

He is a nice guy and tries to be funny, but the class is SO difficult. The material is very confusing and he doesn't use powerpoints or any guidance in lecture or for the tests. The tests are all truefalse and the questions usually don't make sense. They are the only grades, too, so you're bound to fail.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE Professor Glass is a nice guy and all but he is super confusing. At the beginning of the semester you have to buy his lecture notes which sucks. And that's pretty much all you read. Homework is writing truefalse questions based off his notes. You don't need to attend class. The only has 4 tests plus the final but its TF.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE AS A GEN ED. He turns an easy class into a nightmare. Most difficult and dry course I have ever taken. He dislikes human interaction. The tests are 75 true/false questions that you much complete in 30 mins. Homework every day. Taking this class was a HUGE regret!

He's a nice guy and I'll admit I love his sense of humor. He does babble on in class, but some of it does help you understand the readings. He is a very lenient grader.

Makes the class harder to understand than just reading the textbook. Babbles on about random stuff. Very boring. Doesn't answer questions clearly.

Comment:

Great professor who has a deep understanding of the material, communicates it well, and covers a lot of material in one semester. He assigns a bit more work than the other Philosophy professors (yet this is still not much work compared to other departments): about four long papers and four tests.

Dr. Glass is a great professor. His class is not the easiest or clearest, but he will help you if you need it. I didn't like my philosophy class that much, but he was a pretty cool guy.

Comment:

Hes a nice guy, but hes not a good teacher. He spends the whole class going over formulas and you never have any idea what he is talking about. It is straight out of the textbook and he doesn't do much to help you understand. There is a homework assignment everyday from the reading and he didn't clarify what he wanted from the assignments.

Comment:

would definately not recommend him. he doesn't teach, he just talks about the topic. there is no further explanation of what is in the syllabus/book. i was completely offended by him mocking the christian religion and calling christians names.

Comment:

Hard to learn things from him. He makes you buy the syllabus which contains about 20 pages of information he wrote. In class he basically just reads from the syllabus. Doesn't engage class much. Very boring and confusing to understand. He doesn't explain things much, just reads from the packet. I do not recommend if your someone who hates droning.

Good teacher. Very interested in bus topic, and works with the students to do well. Welcomes questions. Has a sense of humor that can be off putting to some but is excellent as a teacher. Has made me want to learn more about philosophy.

Comment:

A phenomenal instructor; keeps it "old school." If you like Philosophy, take him, he'll make you like it even more, if not, he might be a bit of a philosophical turn-off. He's got a great (albeit dry) sense of humor which tends to step just over the line in the best way! If you can read his handwriting, pay attention, and study you'll do just fine.
