Comment:
Liked the enthusiasm and humor, but don't think it made up for the lack of focus in this class. He'd often go off on unrelated tangents and fail to really convey the relevant concepts covered in assignments. Also, discussions in lecture were not typically fruitful because it seems that he didn't really comprehend students' questions/points.

Comment:
Wengert can be compelling but tends to get off track with his lectures, focusing more on the history of philosophy (as well as some trivia) than the philosophy itself. This makes reading for class a little pointless. Other philosophy professors I had were more focused on the texts, providing quotations of them, and clarifying their meaning.

Comment:
I waited for this class to be taught again by Professor Wengert. I absolutely love him. He is a brilliant, saucy, silver-tongued devil. He is so passionate about ancient philosophy. Lectures are long but are always lively. I wish I could take more of his classes.

Comment:
He is a very nice friendly professor and person. The class has too much reading for an undergraduate level philosophy class. The papers have topics never discussed in class. Grades depends on him and TA. At final, he gives every one a fairly curve can improve grades up to higher letter grades.

Comment:
If you want an A, stay way from him. His class are too abstract and challenge for a 200 level philosophy class. He is interesting and friendly. The exams and homeworks are very difficult. Lots materials to study for his class. Not recommend any philosophy class with him after all.

Please do not trust any thing you see here about this professor, the class is very hard, exams and papers are graded harshly and do not by who such as eitherh himself or a TA, the assignments are out of class content domain, not recommand this class, take this class with another professor.

Very knowledgeable and excitable. His manner of speaking keeps you awake, and he really enjoys engaging the students. Quizzes are online and the questions are given beforehand. All homework/tests were pretty easy if you go to class.

awesome professor. can't believe he's still an assistant prof. after so many yrs at uiuc. he's probably one of those who don't give a crap about positions but just try to teach well and be an excellent human being. he reminds me so much about socrates..(at least the platonic socrates)..one who devalues the worldly things and values true wisdom

Awesome professor. Fun, upbeat, very knowledgeable. He doesn't take attendance but if you don't come to class it will be hard to understand whats going on. A lot of reading but that is why 203 meets only 3 hours a week but is worth 4 credit hours.

Wengert is an awesome man, and a great professor. He has a great sense of humor, and is extremely knowledgeable in so many fields. He not only has a strong passion for philosophy and logic, but also a passion for teaching it. Extremely approachable and answers questions very well. He made me decide to pursue a minor in phil. Highly recommended

Professor Wengert is hilarious in the classroom. He is an extremely old man, and he wanders around much like a person would imagine Socrates would. He is especially astute when it comes to answering student questions.

I love Wengert! If you enjoy easy mathematical thinking and appreciate a weird sense of humor, you'll love his class. Many students in this class struggled, but he was always very helpful. He was also very understanding when people had problems doing the homework online. Overall, Wengert is an extremely intelligent and witty man.

Wengert is a GREAT teacher. very enthusiastic and funny. I was thinking about dropping this class or changing it but i stayed in bc i liked wengert so much! I'd have to admit though, mathematical philosophy can get really confusing at the end with symbols and stuff- but they shouldn't be hard if you understand the hw.

I attended this class many years ago, but I must comment since he was my absolute favorite of all time. He had an incredibly interesting way of speaking and making one understand. Also, I remember him working with me personally on a project I was having difficulty with. I liked logic before, but I loved it afterwards and still do. Thank you BW!!!
