Comment:

I've had his classes for almost 4 years. He's easy and approachable. However, if you wish to dig deeper into philosophy, you'll find him bland sometimes. His grasp of ethics and aesthetics is quite profound, but he doesn't wish to debate passionately about anything, even though debate is the bread and butter of philosophy.

Comment:

Dr. Schwartz is one of Randolph's greatest professors- and there are a lot of great ones! He begins each class by asking students about their lives, sporting events, etc. It's obvious he really cares about his students. He knows sooo much about philosophy and encourages student critical thinking. You will love any class you take with him!

Schwartz is really cool! I didn't know I liked philosophy till I took his class. Very entertaining with funny mannerisms, and I found him cute for some reason!

Comment:

I thought phil was suppose to be an indepth look at philosophical works and ideas, and not a debate between personal opinions. Sometimes he should really make people shut up.

Thought class was going to be an open debate of our personal opinions with philosopher's insights in mind. However, ended up being a recitation of facts learned in the text. BORING!!!
