Took his Critical Reasoning Class. Loved it. He does tend to go on tangents, but it didn't bother me. Good professor, all around.

Comment:

So far, everything I've read about the tests being based on his opinions is coming true before my eyes. Subjective morality has no place in this class and you'd best just forget about compromise with him. He made a mistake grading a paper of mine, admitted to it, and did not fix it because it "wasn't important". Nice and arrogant, as I expected.

Comment:

The class itself is very easy. Just do all the work and read the text, but this teacher is so arrogant. He will constantly pick on students or the class as a whole and take time to point out how dumb you are. All that aside, he does know what he's teaching but I would not recommend taking any of his classes.

Comment:

Get's way to sidetracked. One class, we talked about how he was a vegan and that meat creates cancer. FOR THE ENTIRE CLASS. Another class, we talked about how rock n' roll is dead. FOR THE ENTIRE CLASS. Fairly easy if you do not have ADD/ADHD, no in class test. Just be ready for some crazy tangents.

A brilliant professor. I don't really know why he is getting such low ratings, but this professor is awesome! I am taking his ethics class and it is very interesting. He can be a bit arrogant, but I think it's only because some of the students make poor arguments. His lectures are always interesting, so have an open mind if you decide to take him.

I really liked Professor Sanders, but you have to be on his good side to get a great grade. But polite and don't get scared away. If you read the text book and do all of the online quizzes early, then you'll be in great shape :)

Comment:

Prof. Sanders is hilarious, he had the class cracking-up at least once a day. He is very arrogant, but knows what he's talking about. There are discussions in the first 5minutes of class, so be on time or this will drag you down. Quizzes are easy, just "read the damn book!"

Comment:

He is AWFUL. He is SO ARROGANT. You have to answer discussions according to what HE thinks is the right answer. He is not helpful, he constantly talks down to his students as if they're complete idiots, he's terrible. If you even think of taking his class, think again. BIG MISTAKE.

Comment:

Took Phil 101 and 105 with him. He's a brilliant professor! Some people on here said there's no point in arguing with him, but it's only because he's built a strong foundation for his beliefs. I strive to have a solid worldview like he does. I also think he's a very interesting person; he surfs everyday and doesn't talk every Sunday!

Comment:

Very arrogant professor. Online BB quizzes and short answer responses in class. Make sure to read the book when assigned because the short answers come from there. Take good notes. And just listen to him. Don't argue back because it's going to be useless. Education wise he is good because he knows what he is talking about.

Comment:

I missed a test , and failed the class. He does not give extra credit. For instance, I had a B even after I missed the test. My grade kept dropping slowly, but ultimately I failed. This teacher sucks, encourages failure not success. I hate this teacher worse of all time! He should get fired, college is about learning/success not teachers egos!

Comment:

On-line BB-Quizzes and in-class written short essays daily. The quizzes are fm the text and questioned peculiarly. The short essays are from in-class lecture notes, pay attention to many curve balls. He wants to steer your thinking his way (and usually wins) and debates most in-class discussions. No make-ups, no projects, no mercy! Lots of work 4 B

Comment:

He is probably the smartest professor I've come across, but he is arrogant as well so be ready for it. Easy C. He grades on 10 question online quizzes and tells students to work together on them. You can pass if you earn a C on those. If you want a B or A you have to do well on written in-class short answer questions too.

Comment:

Take home tests. Kind of hard, but would have been impossible if they weren't take home. He has very strong opinions. Most likely will argue with anything you say. More of a debating type of class. You have to come every day or you lose points. His grading scale starts at 100 so if you grade drops its literally impossible to raise it. Only lower it

Comment:

Really fantastic, intelligent teacher. I even took him twice. This class will change your life if you actually apply it. He's not narrow-minded, he just has incredibly solid reasons to believe the things that he believes. But for the most part of the class, he won't even tell you his opinions. Class is semi-hard work but I would take again.

Comment:

Oh good gravy. This guy. He's close-minded, which is incredibly unfortunate for any introductory philosophy class. He makes some really interesting points, but sadly they do not justify the rest of his terrible obstinate ideology.

Comment:

Take home tests-easy A if you really do your best. Daily class assignments-make sure you know the material before hand. He's set in his ways, but values ethics. Challenges belief systems and allows debates/discussions. Fun at times, slow during others. Nonetheless, I'm more interested in philosophy now that before. Show up to class on time.
