Comment:

Will go through material relatively fast. Be aware that he does bring lectures that target religion as being a bad thing. Grading is heavy and after the second test many who fail get sent an email that they are no longer eligible of passing the class. The class is not bad but, you will have to work hard for your grade.

3 non-cumulative tests, 1 three pg essay, 1 six page essay, and group quizzes. This class isn't easy, you have to work for your grade. But Keith is such an amazing professor. His intelligence is inspiring. he is so honest & transparent that it may be offensive for some. So don't take him if you aren't open minded.

This is such a challenging class but you learn a lot along the way. He talks the whole time but it's so interesting that I don't even mind. He really wants his students to succeed & helps no matter what. Make sure to take advantage of the extra credit assignment, I regret not doing it. YOUR GRADE WILL REFLECT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.

This has been my favorite class so far. The professor is amazing and very passionate about the subject. It was very easy for me because I have a lot of prior knowledge on the material. There are only 3-4 homework assignments, which are all essays. Make sure your grammar is perfect, because he docks points. He uses the book almost every class.

This is the greatest professor of all time. He is beyond brilliant, he really makes you think about what you believe in & why you believe in it. He is a tough grader but he is always available for questions & he really wants to help you succeed so he gives detailed information to help you do well on everything. Definitely taking more of his courses

Comment:

If you're extremely religious take someone else. Group quizzes were based on what he covered in class. Papers should follow his outline as best as possible for best results. MAKE SURE TO PROOF READ! Tests were relatively easy because he'll go over exactly on what will be on the test a class before the exam.

If you are a religious person you might be offended by his lectures. And he is a tough grader. Try not to take his earliest class because that's the class he grades the hardest.

He is a great professor and very inspirational but his tests were hard. The material was sort of confusing but if you ask for help then he's more than willing to help. He's a great person but very specific on essays.

I absolutely loved this class! I could listen to him speak all day, he's that passionate and entertaining. He doesn't take role, but you will definitely fall behind if you miss a class. Use spelling and grammar check!! Hardest tests I've ever taken so study a lot! Still, I wish i could take him again - definitely recommend him and this class.

Reading is done in class (so take notes!), & expects you to attend class in order to pass his final although it is not mandatory. 4 writing assignments. Try to turn it in time and meet his criteria and you get a perfect score on those easy to do papers. One research paper; about 6 pages long. Final is comprehensive: multiple, TF, and 2 prompts.

Very intimidating. I did not find it easy to ask questions. He made me feel stupid and small even when i was agreeing with what he was saying. Very rude and uses most of his lecture to voice how stupid he finds other people.

Comment:

He was a terriable teacher. He is rude, an ego centered donkey. I have never hated a class so much in my life. He will just talk down on you and talk about how great and wonderful he is. All he talks about it how all religions suck and those religious believers are sheep. AVOID HIS CLASSES AT ALL COST!

He's a great professor. Probably one of the most fair professors on campus. The amount of effort you put into the class is what your grade will reflect. He's funny, smart, interesting, and will always challenge beliefs. Don't hesitate to take this professor.

Probably one of the best professors I've had. His way of speaking just makes the class entertaining. He is very helpful when explaining the concepts. He definitely knows what he is doing. IF YOU ARE NOT VERY EXCITED ABOUT PHILOSOPHY, LIKE I WAS, TAKE HIM.

Amazing teacher. He is very responsive to his email. He is crystal clear with what he wants, don't underestimate his tests, they are tough if you don't study. Also, do not text or fall asleep in his class, he will give you a piece of his mind. Over all, I loved the class.
