Comment:

This will probably be the easiest class i will ever take in college. He is the most easiest and most lenient professor ever. There wasn't even a Final exam. Attendance is mandatory though and its 50% of ur grade. Midterm is 25% of ur grade and its the CTAP paper and that was probably the hardest thing i did all semester. I got an 96 A easily.

Nice teacher, very helpful and cares about his students. Took it as a blended class. Do the assignments, follow the rubric and you'll get an A.

Comment:

Wow, what an easy class. I honestly didn't even do all the reading, just concentrated on key points. The work load is small, and the professor is lenient. It got a little messy at the end due to him missing a couple weeks (said he had surgery or something). As an online student, this didn't make a huge difference.

Enjoyed this class. I took it online. The course load was fair- many of the chapter questions can seem daunting but are feasible. The professor was great at communicating back and forth throughout the semester. Read the book, do the assignments, and you will get an A

Comment:

He is the greatest teacher I have had so far. He really explains things to you and will talk to you one on one to make sure that you understand the assignment. He really cares about his students and will understand if you are in a tough spot. He understands that everyone learns differently and he will work with you. Great teacher and great course!

I had minimal interest prior to taking course--but became addicted to the online discussion. I was dragged kicking and screaming into a philosophy course but this one will rock your world--take it and the prof is a good teacher. 2 thumbs up!

Comment:

Not a good professor! MIA for the first 3 weeks of class. Keeps changing deadlines and assignments. Very unclear and confusing. Horrible to communicate with, he is very much on his high horse and will make you feel stupid for asking any questions. Would never take again, his class is a joke and it's time consuming busy work.

Easy A...doesn't respond to emails quite well. I took the class online. You rarely have to read the book just skim for answers. Perfect if you are loading up on credits.

Comment:

The best teacher at SPC! I think his style of teaching really works well with what he is teaching. I thought I would hate ethics but when I took his class he really changed my view on the class. Plus he still helps me in my Speech class. I stongly recommend this professor!

I took it online. Easy A. Just do the assignments on time. No grade for late assignments. He appreciates all your hard work. Highly recommend him.

Comment:

Took PHI1600 on the Internet. The class was pretty good, I learned a lot. However, the involvement from the professor was very limited. I feel like I could have almost gotten the same education from just reading the book myself. However, if you want an easy A, this class will definitely provide that for you.

Took him for the service learning class - very nice man and wants his students to succeed. It was a basically a self-guided class and as long as you interact in the discussion forums, it is an easy A.

Comment:

This teacher was one thousand times better than my first prof. Just do the work and you are good to get an A. This was my second attempt at this class. I was not thrilled with taking this class to begin with, because I feel if a school makes you buy an Ethics book, because they are making money off it then will not take the book back for cas

Comment:

It was a good class overall. I learned a lot about ethics and now have an appreciation for the study of ethics. Professor stresses format too much but as long as you stick to it you will do great. Also very understanding and gave me an extension when I was gone for a week! It takes awhile to get your grade. Very nice teacher.

I wish i didn't take this class online, learned close to nothing but still got an A. Do all the work and you will pass. very unclear with what needs to be complete and emails back really slow. Wouldn't take him again, but he seems like he'd be a good teacher outside of an online class

Comment:

The class was very easy and as long as you complete the work your almost assured an easy A. The problem was that he is horrable at communication and is unclear. There were several times he was MIA, once for 10 straight days. No responses to e-mails or even posting the work online. I wouldnt recommend him. It was a very annoying experience.
