Shier is super kind and truly cares about each and every student. His Honors philosophy class The Good Life was a little too heavy on Greek philosophy, but other than that it was fun and easy. Take the time to get to know him, and always reach out if you have questions.

Dr. Shier is an awesome professor. He knows a lot about philosophy and keeps his lectures interesting. He does not grade essays super harshly but has good feedback.

Best class ever!! Everyone in the class was actually interested in the subject matter and Shier was just incredible. He made impossible logic topics seem easy and fun. I've talked to many phil majors who said this class with Shier was their favorite class in college.

Shier is quite simply the best. Take him. Easily the best prof in any department at WSU. He's a fantastic teacher and has good relationships with all his students. His students love him for good reason. He's a quality professor who knows his subject and loves teaching.

Shier is awesome. He always kept the class entertained, which made it easy to pay attention. He went through the material in detail, making sure we were all understanding and gave plenty of opportunities in class for us to ask questions. The tests were similar to the online example tests. You will ace the tests if you did well on homework.

Shier is an enthusiastic professor who always makes up entertaining and helpful examples. He takes plenty of time to thoroughly explain material. I enjoyed coming to class because I actually learned things without having to bash my head against a wall. I laughed a lot during his lectures! GET HIM IF YOU CAN!! He's great!!

Very enthusiastic about philosophy and it shows. Keeps everyone involved, and allows class to talk about things they wanted to talk about. Will allow a lot of talking, maybe even too much. Great to listen to, and will get you excited to come to class.

Also had him for Phil 401 and Phil 198. He was awesome. We would always learn the material and have fun. And who else can do that in an advanced logic course?

Incredibly smart man. Absolutely knows what he's talking about, and can explain things in various ways to help you get the point. I'd take any philosophy class I could from him.
