He's a great professor and person. Really knowledgeable and respected. However, this is a tough class. he expect greatness but at the end he grades you on how well you've improved and tried through out the course. Go to his office hours he is an awesome person to talk to. He gives quizzes every class. a midterm, test and research proposal included

HON 301 For good luck, I brought a Jesus toy with me for his "Wild Justice" book quiz. That's how hard it was for me.

Get ready to read two books, one is a thick textbook (he made us read about 16-17 chapters), then another book about 400 pages. Class grade is broken down by weekly quizzes (short answer response format) (20%), MIDTERM (20%), LIT REVIEW (20%), AND FINAL (40%). Really tough grader. It took everything in me to get an A. BE PREPARED TO WORK.

I've gotten an A- in his 201 Course. If you see him and you can take the same class by an easier professor do it. It's not worth the stress. If you have no choice, read and make outlines of the readings. Recommended: get a group and split them up and make outlines to study for the quizes. Re-do your essays again and again until you get an A.

Comment:
This class was SO HARD but worth it. I learned a lot. It's ultimately a philosophy course so LOADS of reading. He's a tough professor and is not easily impressed. Very funny guy. It was such a difficult class. On the first day he says he barely gives As and he means it.

Prof. Mandery does not tolerate laziness. He will not give you a good grade because your an "honors student". He wants all of his students to get the most out of their education and work for their grades. He drastically improved my writing. If you care about your work, you'll love him. Overall, he's awesome and I'm going to take his class again!

I've completely misjudged Prof Mandery. As an educator, he goes above and beyond to make sure his students are able to understand the course work, and utilize the concepts in everyday life. When speaking to him on a personal level, individually, his compassion for his students surpass most educators. Incredible mentor. Passionate. Supportive.

Prof. Mandery is one of the best at John Jay. He is invested in his students and wants us all to excel. Class is very interesting, as he pushes us to think critically and objectively about world issues. PHI may not be his background, but this professor makes you really explore PHI in terms of making it applicable to our own world.

Comment:
Understand this: Prof Mandery has a good personality; he seems quite down to earth. HOWEVER, he is extremely tough when it comes to grading. He teaches philosophy as if it is definite. Does not encourage students to think outside the box, and to me that's the opposite of what philosophy is. He is not qualified for phi. And I'm majoring in it.

I found Professor Mandery to be challenging, yet very invested in helping students. His classes are thought provoking and will make you question your opinions. He does assign a lot of work and expects critical analysis, but it is worth it in the end. I'd recommend him to anyone who is up for a lively debate.

The teacher's if pretty cool. He makes the class interesting but the material can be really hard to understand! You MUST MUST MUST do the reading. It helps a lot to highlight what you read so you can understand it and remember it. There's a quiz on the reading every week. Do the reading!! And redo your papers EVERY chance you get.. you'll be fine..

I really don't understand the negative ratings here. If you do the work, you'll be fine. The only time in two semesters I have seen him get angry was when people either didn't do the readings, or acted like they were in second grade rather than in a two hundred level class

Comment:
Bright guy, but does not tolerate alternative points of view. Blatantly picks favorites, and your grade will mostly be based upon whether he likes you. Storms out of the room when he gets upset, very unprofessional. Once, he cried. Certainly knows his material, but if you want a good grade, make sure you always agree with him! Very immature

absolute 0 analysis of texts. just stuff based on his own experiences/thoughts of them. at times it feels like he imposes them on you. but other than that great guy and easy grader
