Very intelligent and respectful professor. Your graded by four writing assignments which are very easy to do and are graded very easily. Attendance isnt mandatory but her lectures are pretty interesting and useful so it doesnt hurt to stop by once in a while.

You actually never have to come to this class, but stop in once and while. Her notes are pretty helpful even if I only used them once. She's nice and quick to email you back. There are four assignments, but most of them can be Sparknotes'd.

Comment:

Very respectable professor and such a sweet lady. I barely showed up or did the assigned reading (as a classics major) but managed an A through taking the writing assignments seriously. She's very forgiving with grades and goes above and beyond to give out help. She definitely has a passion for the topic and it makes her insight genuine & important

You don't have to read anything!! Just listen to what she says and write about that. You don't have to go to lecture because she really doesn't care about that either. All you need to do is write well. If you are not good at writing papers, care about reading the books, and actually show up then BEWARE. She doesn't care about that stuff AT ALL.

Entered her class for required degree credits, left with a new love of philosophy and a desire to pursue a minor! Lectures are absolutely fascinating. She is knowledgeable, passionate, and really cares. Feedback was great if you truly try on papers - she definitely appreciates effort. Definitely talk to her during office hours, you won't regret it!

Comment:

She is passionate about philosophy and it shows in her lectures. Her papers in class have many parts, but she wants to see you argue! She gives clear feedback and constructive criticism, suggesting how to improve your paper for next time. She inspires you to think about different philosophical concepts. You only have to skim the readings, too.

Comment:

Super knowledgeable, and quirky. Lectures tend to be a little meandering, but she best works when you engage her in questions. Usually her classes consist of 4-6 papers in varying length. Read the material, and think about your arguments. She is a fun professor, who loves her teaching material. Just do the readings, and go an office hour or two!

Comment:

She's a sweet lady. Extremely intelligent, on the quieter side, probably an introvert. I always felt bad skipping because she's so quietly passionate about her work. Doesn't take attendance and doesn't seem to outwardly care if you skip. I found attending class to be pretty helpful writing the lengthy essays

Comment:

Professor Cherubin is one of a kind. She's extremely intellectual and at the same time, self-deprecating. Her lectures are very bright, as in her personality makes it bright and engaging. You have to work really hard to earn a B+ in her class. Show her the respect that she deserves by listening to her instead of looking at your phone.

Brilliant, absolutely BRILLIANT lady. That part can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. Her brain works at a million mph so I got lost sometimes. Super nice lady, though! Her essay prompts have around 8 questions in them, so it's important to make sure you answer every single one of them. Definitely top notch if you're into Classics or ancient phil

She says participation matters and she wants you to read. However, you will not be graded on participation, reading, or attendance. Just be sure you are good at writing papers and sound smart. Other people skip class and do their homework for other classes and they do better than people who participate and read and attend. Take ENG 302 1st

Comment:

Attended class. Participated. Actually read all the books. I enjoyed her lectures. I loved ancient philosophy & followed it. What she wanted in the papers was nonsensical. Don't waste your time on this class. Take it with someone else, or just read at home. Her grades wasted my money and hurt my G.P.A.

Comment:

Professor is your classic philosophy professor that is too smart to communicate well. She knows her stuff, but rambles so hard that you will lose your focus easy. If you are a PHIL major and love to read then you should be okay, if not, be wary. If you have to take her classes just take good notes and record what she says for paper writing sake.

Really passionate teacher that loves everything philosophical. Tries her best to make the material interesting. She is very helpful when I was unsure about myself with the papers. She would always provide feedback on my drafts. Would recommend!

Comment:

She is absolutely passionate about what she teaches, and so the professor herself is never dull, though the material can occasionally be somewhat so. The class largely focuses on metaphysics, and she does what she can to keep it interesting and understandable, usually by making humorous references to shady parts of New York.

Nice lady but I found her to be pretty boring. She tries to be funny and interesting and wants everyone to pass. I didn't show up to class much since the grades were based entirely on five online short responses.

Comment:

Very nice professor. She gives a total of five papers throughout the year that are not all that difficult. Philosophy is not my subject but the papers are straight forward. Take a lot of notes because what she teaches and writes helps with papers. She also gives extra credit opportunities If you are taking PHIL as a gen ed do take it with her!
