This professor uses informal language in his books; he has trouble with academic English related to subject verb agreement related to NUMber, as in singular versus plural.

Comment:
Unprepared and indifferent. He would come to class and wing it. He'd often let class out 45 minutes into a two-hour lecture when he ran out of material. Did not put any serious effort into the class or in getting to know his students. He was always off campus and reaching him personally was nearly impossible. But he does have a famous name.

Comment:
I've taken his class & he was my thesis advisor. Sometimes he's performative and certainly has his own politics, but the point of learning is that no one is exempt from having politics. He's brilliant and really funny, engaging and critical in 1-on-1 settings.

Comment:
I can only assume that the negative ratings below are influenced by right-wing attacks like David Horowitz's *The Professors.* Please, go hang out on Ward Churchill's RMP page; West is actually talented and intelligent. Read *The American Evasion of Philosophy* or just take a damn class if you doubt it.

What can I say about Prof. West? He's the most dynamic lecturer I've had at Princeton - I was actually excited to wake up and attend lecture each morning.
