Comment:

Every once in a while, you get a teacher that completely changes your life and outlook. Dennis was that teacher for me. I took all of this classes that were available, and loved all of them! Dennis is an amazing teacher, who truly cares about his students. It's truly a bummer that he is not teaching anymore.

Comment:

Dennis is one of the best teachers that I ever took. I took all of his classes that were available, and loved them all. He is not an easy teacher meaning that you actually have to do the readings and work to pass. Dennis helps you understand the concepts, and that class discussions are very interesting.

Dennis is one of the best teachers out there. I took all of his classes that were available. While the classes may be hard and require lots of thinking, they are very rewarding! You will not be disappointed. The class discussions are very informative, and you will leave the class with lots of new knowledge. Definitely worth taking!

Comment:

As cliche as it sounds to say this class changed my life, it really did. This class made me think and not only just about the assignment at hand. It made me think about my life, the world, and the bigger picture. I wish more teachers were as knowledgeable and helpful and Professor Lancaster. I would highly recommend any of his classes.

Comment:

Professor Lancaster has a passion for the subjects he teaches. He wants to inspire his students to think, and not accept any obscene rhetoric. Students who take him will be both benefited outside and inside the classroom. Someday I want to be just like him.

Comment:

As a student who didn't ever have any critical thinking challenges in high school, this class was very challenging. I had to work very hard at it, but in the end, this class has given me a better understanding of how to think critically in every situation. Mr. Lancaster is a great teacher, and truly cares for each student, as well as their success.

Comment:

Fun class, with lots of input! If you are easily distracted and want to follow onto the "touched" area's he will go with you, but always brings it back to the matter at hand - sometimes not in the same class period, but he makes his points and is fair if he failed to do so.

wow. a hard class indeed. Very interesting though. When he says he wants a 1 page paper, he means 1 page. EXACTLY. Not a word less.

Comment:

This marks the second class I have had under Dennis's teachings. He is probably the best I have found in making a sticky situation-not so sticky. Ethics can be a pain, and often the debates get heated, but Dennis keeps everything professional, yet casual.

Comment:

Philosophy is a confusing subject, resultingly sometimes his explanations would get confusing. He also likes to read from the textbook to you on occasion. But he is a good guy and wants you to do well.
