Comment:

Took this jerk my 1st semester in college. Lectures are so boring! Got A's on all my assignments/tests. Loved the material hated the teacher. He asked why I didnt come to class if I enjoyed the material and made such good grades but when I told him he was just too monotone for me at 9am he failed me on attendence!

Comment:

I loved this professor! He was so inspirational and really made a huge impact on my life. The class was challenging, but not impossible. It saddens me to read so many negative comments but I will say this-if you are just taking the class because it's mandatory, you probably should choose another teacher. Philosophy fanatics: TAKE THIS TEACHER!

Comment:

I took the intro to Philos with this guy back in '03. The first weekend of the semester, my mother died. When asked why I hadn't done my homework, I told him, and he asked me how many times she was going to die during the semester. After all that, he would not allow me back into class...after the drop date. He's a b@stard.

Comment:

I didn't like this guy at all.He is uncompromising and very unfair.I already had a high course load when I signed up for the class, which was not the issue.When ny cousin was diagnosed with cancer, I worked it out with all my teachers to miss time during her chemo except for him.He made it very clear he wouldn't work with me and didn't care.

To be honest this class was hard for me. A lot of people dropped this class and if it wasn't for me doing a 10 page paper I wouldn't have passed. I got a B so I guess I really shouldn't complain.

Comment:

It was my first year at TCC and I got into CornerStone and he was a teacher with 2 others in a speech/history/philosophy type class. He was so rude and arrogant. I dreaded going to class. I withdrew after a month and I don't regret it. I just transfered to UTA with a 4.0 I'm glad I didn't let him mess that up for me.

Comment:

Teacher is a ****. He gives preference to female students and constantly says inappropriate things to the pretty female students and is way too "hands on" with them. He threatens the males with bad grades while being very friendly with the girls. Is very full of himself, has a God complex.

Comment:

This teacher is a jerk. Please don't take his class. I did all of the work that was required and made a D and my test and over all average did not match with what he averaged out to be. If you take his class keep all your papers. But, please don't even think of taking him.

I kept my book for independent study, but I wouldn't recommend taking this class with this prof. Everything I got back, I had high marks on, but somehow I made a C in the class. I asked what happened with my grade, but he never responded to my email.

Comment:

He is extremely Bias, and if you did not agree with his opinion you were found wrong. His examples about the subject material are sub-par. He attempts to dumb down the subject material, so much that it loses meaning. He takes away what other philosophours have done and refuses to teach part because its against what he believes.

Comment:

I took his Ethics class. This was a really hard class (I'm usually an A student and I made a C) He gave reading assignments every night that were hard, but every day he went over every chapter we were supposed to read, and he'd help the class to understand it. Hardest class, but I learned more in this class than any other.

Comment:

He is very knowledgeable and allows you to get up to 20 points extra credit on each exam. He can be tough but he does tell you what is going to be on the exam and it everything is from the notes. Even though his class is a bit tough (almost got a b), it is by far the most interesting class I have taken.

Comment:

This power-trip professor made me drop this class because he intentionally makes his pop quizs and tests tricky and hard. I think only 2 people passed by a "c" I don't know what happened to him? The first 2 comments describe someone different. He changed. I never missed a class or was late and did all the homework and studied. You will fail.

Comment:

He has a lust for power. He will get very angery at you for coming in late, going to the bathroom...even just once. Sometimes he is interesting to listen to, but it does get very lame. He gives out homework almost every night. He gives pop quizes and if you are absent you get a 0. His tests/quizes are very difficult Only a few even get a 70...
