so boring, and couldnt stand people disagreeing with her, or maybe just not going along with what she said.

Great moderator and great approach for any field on philosophy: gets involved and discusses just like any other student, but remains objective and critical.

Comment:

Easygoing and personable. Good class discussion, though it often goes off track, it remains interesting. Good paper-writing system: a two-pager every week instead of longer ones. Grades them mercifully. I would definitely recommend her for FYSEM.

Comment:

By the end of the year you will have done a whole lot of work (and learned a ton), but the way she breaks each assignment into managable portions is very helpful and not particularly hard. I enjoyed her class very much.

great introduction to philosophy, clear explanation of ideas and great at leading class discussions; always pushed us to think harder and go farther on papers and in class

A good lecturer, but an excellent teacher one on one. You haven't experienced coleman until you've met with her in office hours. Take advantage of this.

made everything clear and lead some interesting discussions. in her class, though, the type of kids in the class matter as much as her ability at leading discussions.
