Comment:

Passing this class is no problem. There is a paper due every week, but he'll give you a 100 just for doing it. When there isn't a paper due, there is an exam which you should focus on more. The exams are worth much more than the papers, so make sure you do the exercises in the class because they help you prepare a lot!

Great philosopher! He is a real laid back professor but covered a lot of information in a short amount of time. Defiantly take this class.

If you're looking for an online class to take, this should be the one! The grading criteria is set from the start. Debate & lecture papers tend to be boring, but not difficult (just do them & you'll get 100%). It is unfortunate that tests are worth so much b/c if you mess up on one (like I did) it really does effect your grade. Still an easy class!

Really great professor. I took his online class and the debate/lecture papers are so easy. Gives you full credit by doing the minimum. Fallacy paper is an easy A too. Just focus on the exams since they are mostly 20% of your grade! He puts in your grades right away too

Comment:

Class is easy. Great professor, and does nice lectures. Biggest recommendation is DON'T buy the access code. I purchased the book and the access code together, signed up with the access code, and only logged into the site 3-4 times total at the begging of the semester. Never used it, and still got an A. Just find/buy textbook, as it helped a lot.

Listen to his online lectures, take good notes, and keep textbook handy, and you'll pass. 5 guest lectures, 5 debates, each with a paper and a discussion. Easy to do, as units are breaked into 3 week sections. Focus on tests as they are majority of your grade. Easy fallacy paper at the end of the semester. I would definitely take again.

Has a lot of writing assignment that are 1% of grade each. Really focus on the tests because they're 20% and you'll do fine if you watch his lectures and do the reading. If you have any issues to with the class he'll help you.

Loved this class! The papers are super easy & I got 100% on every single one just for doing the minimum. I didn't even buy the text and I did fine. The tests can be tricky but as long as you watch his lecture and use the review you'll be fine. DONT stress about the final, you'll ace it i promise

Overall a fine teacher, it is the grading scale that I don't like. The writing assignments hardly count for a grade, they are pass/fail so you will get 100% on them. But the tests are around 20 questions and can be tricky so take your time! YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO PREVIOUS QUESTIONS ON TESTS! Once you answer it its final. Focus on tests.

I didn't expect to like this class. But I ended up loving it! Dr. Mosteller made this course very fun and interesting. Took it online. Mindtap is required and there are always forum discussions, but they were easy. Highly recommend.

Super easy class! Videos are long and there is a paper due every week, but they're simple. Exams are straightforward & readings are manageable. Instructor's videos were helpful and hilarious... he cracked me up every time! Class is easy to handle, just do your work. Teacher is cool and responsive to questions. Easy grader. Highly recommend him!

Great professor, very understanding, respectful and willing to help students out. I would be more than happy to have him again as a professor.

I took him for online philosophy. He makes it perfectly clear what he expects of you. You write a paper each week and take a quiz every few weeks. He is a very easy grader on the papers. If you email him, he responds quickly and answers your questions. He is very nice and wants his students to pass and do well. Don't buy the textbook.

Comment:

Online class was very easy until it came to the Exams. They were very difficult for me considering a majority of the questions did not make sense. As you would read the questions, his grammar sucked. Also the papers you write every week barely count towards your grade at all 1% each. He's just an alright teacher.
