Comment:

By far one of the greatest professors I have had. Makes you participate in lecture and attendance is important. He is extremely laid back and you will learn a lot. Homework and tests are not hard as long as you pay attention. Would definitely recommend and take again.

Comment:

Dr. Faulders is a wonderful teacher. His teaching style is laid back, although he covers very serious topics. This class will get you thinking about life and God. Complete the assignments, read the text,study for the tests, and listen to his advice. He cares about his students. He enjoys hanging out with students and giving us "high fives."

Comment:

Dr. Faulders always made the class enjoyable. The insight he shared w/his students was great. Occasionally gave us "pep talks." If you pay attention in class, you'll do fine on the exams. He learns every students name and calls on students to answer so make sure to pay attention. What I learned in this class helped me in other classes.

Comment:

The class was made up of 14 homework assignments, 2 tests, 1 non-cumulative final, and a paper. An A in this class must be earned doing extra work. Dr. Faulders is a professor who is passionate about what he teaches. He is intelligent and not patronizing. He has opinions and welcomes those who voice their own opinions respectfully. Wonderful prof.

Comment:

Great man with good intentions. Come to class with an open mind and you'll do very well. If you are stubborn and continuously disagree with him, you will have a problem. Easy material. However, you have to go the extra mile to get an A, i.e. answer homework questions PLUS an extra 5 pages of thought. Bare minimum will get you a B. CAPITO? ;)

Dr. Faulders is the best! He makes everything clear until YOU GET IT. If you don't then... I'm guessing that's all ON YOU. But I strongly recommend him as a teacher. Great sense of humor. CAPITO OR NO CAPITO? :D

Comment:

Within the first hour Faulders had made derogatory comments about everything from vegetarians to secondary teachers.He told his captive audience that fuel cost should be $1 but the $3 extra goes for teachers' pensions and cited inaccurate info about graduation rates .Teaching style-listen to him while he reads.Sorry for those required to attend.

Comment:

If you treat him with respect, you'll get the same in return. Unless you have religious or political views that differ from his. He literally laughed at my religion and, in front of the whole class, stated, "You know that's all made up, right?" But to pass with a decent grade, just play up your intelligence and vocabulary a bit. Tests are easy.

Comment:

Awkward but effective teaching style. Has firm opinions and biases; just show him respect and he'll treat you accordingly. Learns every student's name and includes each person in class discussion. Assignments not hard but be thorough with your own ideas. Includes current issues in discussion. Just respect his viewpoints. Dont come if you dont care

Comment:

One of the best teachers I've ever had. He gets you thinking about stuff outside of class, like life and religion. It's really interesting. He's a cool, funny dude. TAKE FOR NIGHT CLASS!!!!! Only keeps you in for two hours as oppose to 3 & 1/2.

Comment:

Best teacher I have ever had. Really pushes his students to think. Very strong in his own views. Gets the entire class involved in discussion of a topic. Took both philosophy classes he offered and wish I could have taken more. Actually cares about his students. Very entertaining, but not easy.

Comment:

Mr. Faulders is rude and talks down to his students. If you are taking him for a world religions class, I suggest you take a different class because he is extremely biased toward any religion except his own. He does not have an open mind or an appreciation for other views and belief systems.

He was entertaining and his class was easy, but he says hurtful biased things about homosexuals. Be prepared.

Comment:

Found the hw reading to be of little relevance in that it is not philosophy but a biologist's argument for why the Christian god is real (odd choice for PHILO 101) and his lectures can't really compare to other philosophy and theory professors I've had. I got an A, not too hard but wouldn't recommend him.
