You will never know what's going on or what he is actually trying to teach, but all of the tests come straight from the worksheets. Also, all the worksheet answers are on quizlet.

Hes absolutely ridiculous. I have no idea what I was supposed to be learning in this class. He spends entire lectures talking about his personal life, telling the same 5 stories, and using the most irrelevant examples Ive never seen. The only saving grace for this class is that its easy grades and that everything is on quizlet.

Comment:

Mr. Stewart is very sweet and educated in his area --he wrote the textbook you "have" to buy. His lectures are long, but EVERYTHING is on Quizlet. Literally. Don't buy the book. Homework question's are on there, just find exams/final Quizlets made by past students and you will make an A without every really listening to his lectures.

Comment:

Grade determined by 4 exams, final & a 4-5 pg paper. He will make it sound like the paper is optional (it's NOT). Exams & homework are super short & come directly from the book, which is kind of a tough read. Attend lectures (even though they may put you to sleep) b/c attendance is a big deal (3 absences & your grade goes down). Very blunt style.

Super funny guy, very blunt. His class is very easy. Homework is all off quizlet, which most of your test questions are straight off the homework. He gives you grades back very quickly, never go the full class time.

He wrote his own book, which you read for the homework and tests. The tests are based off the homework questions. He lectures a lot and tells a lot of stories. He is funny and tries to make it interesting. I would take this class again, it was super easy.

Probably the worst professor I've ever had. If you miss class you'll probably fail He doesn't care what the circumstances are. Extremely rude to students I was afraid to ask him questions because I saw how he treated the other students. lol good luck trying to get a hold of him out side of class cause he doesn't respond to emails EVER.

He is very rude! Have to read his book that he wrote to do the homework. He assigned seats so that he can take attendance.

This class makes no sense. He is all over the place in his lectures. He wrote the book you have to read for class, sadly this does not help at all.

Comment:

Worst professor I've had in College so far. A bit pretentious and unclear in his ideas. Lectures can get you to sleep. If you don't read the book you'll probably never really understand what is he talking about. A good professor gets his students excited about learning the subject, this professor does all the opposite.

His lectures made this the longest, most pointless class I've ever taken. I studied for a couple of hours before each test and still found it difficult to make an A, but it's a doable class if you need to take it.

Comment:

Dr.Stewart is funny enough, but very rude. He seems very annoyed by any question you ask him and does NOT like repeating himself. He highly values attendance and has very boring lectures. The lectures make more sense if you read the book. If you come to class and read the chapter you will be fine

Comment:

Dr. Stewart wrote the book--literally. He wrote the book in the same way that he lectures and when they combine, you can easily pass his tests and homework assignments. Enjoyed the anecdotes but he did have a tendency to get redundant and repeat them.

His homework and tests all come from the book and examples he gives in lectures. If you take a few notes and look over the key terms he gives you for the test, it is easy to get an A.

This class is structured like one big conversation which makes it easier to learn. Colorful real life stories help you understand the material a lot better. Homework is from the book and tests are over the homework. No reason not to make a B or higher. Epic!

Comment:

Ugh all the talking. Yes its EASY, but not sure it's worth suffering through aimless, redundant lectures. Apparently this is his opportunity to share his life experiences and opinions about everything known to man, ever. Attendance seems unrecorded but his assistants come in and check later in class, mark if you leave. Interesting at times. Don't!

Comment:

Dr. Stewart rarely stayed on topic & seemed to value his own opinions above all else. While his class is extremely easy to pass if you show up to class & study, his lectures are horrible to suffer through. I feel like I know less about Philosophy than when I started.

This was my favorite class of the semester. Stewart's lectures are more like him telling interesting stories for an hour and you don't have to take notes because the test is over the homework. Easy A.
