He's a good teacher and is funny too. I love looking at the bald spot at the top of his head when he's not looking.

If I were you I wouldn't take his class. He wants you to be an excellent student who never misses a single thing he requires, otherwise there is no way in the hell you will get an A or whatever grade you need to get from this class.

Comment:

Professor Regan can seem a little intimidating, but he just really wants everyone to participate. Be prepared to speak in class. The homework is not overwhelming & is pretty easy. All 3 of his tests are not multiple choice. There are questions on the chapter we covered & we have to write a paragraph for them. He doesnt grade too harshly.

Instruction not clear enough. Did not seem to care about the individual success of students. Wish he finally learns how to make use of canvas when uploading grades rather than not letting students know their overall grades until the end of the day when your final grades are released.

This is my second time taking Prof. Regan's and I do not regret it any bit. He is such an amazing professor. He is very clear in explaining the material. His jokes are also so funny that it makes the class a fun place to learn. Make sure to do all the homework because it will help you master the concepts. Study hard you will pass! :)

This guy is absolutely amazing in my opinion. It's the first class in a long time that I actually looked forward to going to, even prevented me from skipping a class a couple days because I enjoyed it so much. There's a mandatory book, but his lectures cover all the same material, so you don't need to waste the money.

Comment:

There are only three tests and a final essay. There are other "filler" assignments, but they wouldn't change your grade much. Filler assignments are easy to bs. The tests are not. They require AT LEAST paragraph answers that leave no stones unturned. You can finesse an A if you pay enough attention in class and take good notes; reading will help.

Professor Regan is an amazing professor. He is very clear in is lectures and really wants you to understand the subject matter and will give as many examples as needed to help you to understand. He's a great lecturer, I was able to take very clear and helpful notes from his lectures. I would take his other phil class if it was apart of my major

He's AMAZING! Easily one of my favorite teachers ever, I wish he could teach all my classes. He's really funny, smart, kind, and gives really good explanations/lectures on everything - if you're confused, he really helps you and doesn't humiliate you like some teachers do. The tests are exactly like the study guides! He reminds me of a nice dad.

Comment:

Really awesome professor. He definitely knows how to make a subject interesting for everyone. I had him for intro to philosophy honors, and he didn't give any extra credit opportunities. He is a tough grader, but only because he wants to push you to really understand the material. There is a final paper at the end.

Comment:

I really enjoyed Prof. Regan's teaching. At first I was worried he'd be irritating and uptight but he's pleasant and has an excellent grasp on the material he teaches. His tests are fair and you can learn most of what you need to know simply by showing up and listening. I learned a lot and I thought a lot. I recommend him highly.

Comment:

When I first walked into to this class, i didnt know what to expect with a philosophy class. There are roughly 3 exams, and one final. The material and readings are hard at first and exams are all short answers. Make sure you participate , ask questions and go to office hours and you'll be fine.

Professor Regan is the best teacher I had during my freshman year in PCC. His lectures are so amazing that I wouldn't mind listening to him all day long! As long as you do all your homework and listen to his lectures as well as take good notes in his class, it is guaranteed to get an A in his class. I hope you guys enjoy as much as I did!

Comment:

Professor himself is a very fun, sarcastic humorous person and he really applies real world examples to his lectures. There are only 3 tests, no final test, but a final paper. The material itself is hard and the tests are all SHORT ANSWER. No multiple choice, so winging it will not get you by. He encourages participation! Ask Questions!
