Comment:

He is a ok professor but I am not too into philosophy so I will give my two cents. If you are just taking this class just because you have to then he will not be the one for you. The class was just graded on a three exams each 20% of your grade and the rest are on pop quizzes and disucssion boards barely worth anything. Not an easy grader.

Conveys his passion for philosophy to the class and gets everybody involved and hooked on what he has to say. Wrote his own blog to save us from having to buy books. Also has oral quizzes before class - calls on a random student and allows us to read directly from note cards when responding. Show up to class, study note cards, and you'll get an A.

Comment:

Professor Anderson was funny. But his course was so confusing. He has a list of the attendance and he goes down and do pop quizzes. If you don't show up to class and he calls on you, then you lose point for attendance and that pop quiz. Test was critical thinking/memorization. He will make you talk in front of the class.. I end up withdraw .

His class was really interesting, usually it was just discussion about the required readings he assigned. The tests consisted on writing a research paper, about 10 pages.

Comment:

Dr. Anderson is a very entertaining teacher. He relates philosophy to things happening in today's world, making his lectures simply amusing. There are pop quizzes at the beginning of the class (usually goes in order of the roster). You are allowed to have notecards for the quizzes, and may read directly from them. Only had 2 take-home exams. 10/10

Comment:

I took Dr. Anderson for PHI 101 and liked the class. He starts off almost every single class session by doing oral quizzes. The question you get is usually from the last class session, so if you did your flash cards before class you'll be fine (he lets students use their flash cards). He lectures every class session, but he makes them entertaining.

He is a great teacher. Very clear about what he expects for homework, quizzes,a and tests. Attendance is crucial, but his lectures are very helpful so it was always worth it to be in class. He and other students are very accessible to collaborate with.

Comment:

I was really excited to take a course by him, but his online course teaching was terrible. The only learning I did was by reading out of the book, and there were no lectures or handouts at all. We only got points through tests and discussion boards, but discussion boards were barely worth anything. You're better off taking him in class, not online.

Very good instructor and class has a clear set up. Do the readings, show up to every class prepared for oral quizzes, and keep it up throughout the semester. Do not slack off on studying for the final! I did and as a result I went from an A to a B. Ugh, I regret this so much. Why did I procrastinate? D: My fault, not Anderson's. Anyway, take him.

Loved this class. It was a long lecture since the class only meets once a week. There is oral quizzes at the start of each class but you can have notecards so just have those and you'll pass every quiz. There is three exams. He gives a review prior to exam so just study those questions. Nice guy. Interesting material. Favorite course this semester.
