Comment:

The course itself is kind of boring but pretty easy if you come to class. My only issue with the course is that he doesn't give clear feedback so a lot of times you don't really know whether or not you got something right and it makes answering questions out loud intimidating sometimes.

Comment:

Dr. Hall is first and foremost an intellect who wants to share his expertise and knowledge with students. I'd heard he was difficult and sometimes boring. I didn't find that to be the case. It depends on the level of the student's interest and desire to learn. I came to Stetson to learn everything I could. I want to be challenged. Dr. Hall cares.

His lectures can get tiring, but if you pay attention and stay engaged it's an easy A. The essay topics are straightforward,he literally tells you what each one will be about. Just show up and listen.

Dr. Hall is one of the good ones! As long as you really engage in the class discussions and show that you put in the work and care about the class, you gonna get a good grade on your exams and overall in this class. He is really, really nice and understanding!

Comment:

I really enjoyed having Ron as my intro to philosophy professor. He was a really good teacher, you need to listen in class to understand the topic. He gives the questions that will be on tests and goes over what the essay is on the class before. A very helpful teacher. He does not take attendance.

Took Introduction to Philosophy under Dr. Hall back in the 80's at Francis Marion. Best professor I ever had. His class was literally a life changing experience.

Comment:

If you're looking to take this class for a Q credit, choose math instead! Logic is not an easy course. There is a lot of studying, reading, and tutoring sessions. I still would highly recommend taking Ron. If you attend class and really pay attention, there is no way you shouldn't make an A. There's five test which come straight out of his workbook

Comment:

Dr. Hall is a very intelligent professor. However, he does not explain much the material in class. I taught myself most of the material and relied on the TA to further clarify topics for me. Once you comprehend the concepts, the course is not too bad. However, at times it felt like another language it was so confusing.

This class was very tough. Many say it's easy but get ready to read and study, study, study. My best advice is go to the SPI session, and make a study group.

Comment:

Dr. Hall is the best! Also he's very unbiased. He doesn't try to prove or disprove God or atheism. He just makes you think--whether you're atheist or theist. I love him! He's the best professor I ever had and now we're good friends! As long as you try you'll do fine! He's very much there for you & he loves what he does!

his essays were tough and difficult to figure what he wanted in them, but he was always clear about what would be on the test. if you come to class and participate in discussion, you have no reason not to get an A. you can tell he sincerely loves the subject he teaches.

Comment:

He's a little better in this class than logic. Its discussion based and even though he doesn't take attendance if you go to the class you will do great on the exams. He grades harshly on papers though. He also only talks about God for the entire semester (its like a intro to does God Exist class)

Comment:

He wrote his own textbook for the class, it is just as confusing as his lectures. He does not explain well, does not want to answer questions (gets offended by them) and tests you on things he did not prepare you for. Take this class with anyone but him, it'll save you from a disappointing grade and frustrating semester

Comment:

I had Dr. Hall at Francis Marion. He will argue against his own beliefs. He and the late Rev. Dr. Taylor Scott, were famous for constant arguments as they walked the halls. I argued with both of them in class; classmates were scared and thought that we hated each other. If you can repeat stuff but can't process info, then don't take his class.

Okay. So if you go to class, pay attention and not sleep you'll pass. He has two test both essay and two essays. Personally I Hated it! It is really hard not to fall asleep in his class. If you don't like your believes challenged don't take the class. I worked really hard in this class for an average grade I was very upset.

Comment:

I took this for Pre-Law. Should have just bought the book. Read the book, do the exercises, you'll get an A. Loves to hear himself talk, loves himself, doesn't listen to anyone. Ego wrapped in self-satisfaction wrapped in ego... all the way down to the core.

Comment:

If you take his logic class, all you have to do is read the book and do the exercises in said book. Attendance isn't a huge priority, but he's a little easier on you if you actually show up. His lectures help a little, but he always goes off trying to disprove God and destroy the logic (or lack thereof) of any believers in the class room.
