Comment:

Phil of Marx: Wonderful professor. The design of the course consists of extensive reading of Aristotle, Marx, and Lenin, and there's a heavy focus on class discussion. There is tremendous opportunity to learn and participate, but if you're not interested in the material or don't read texts you wont do well. V rewarding and a knowledge professor.

Cameron was a great professor. Very inspirational and often mixed in components of life with the lesson. Reading was needed but not really. A bit intimidating but great in the long run

Comment:

He comes off as a hard ass but he is the one professor I actually learned something from! Take notes & dont be that organized w it bc he goes fast and youd be surprised how random messy notes will come in handy! 100 extra cred points for perfect attendance and trust me you want to go to this class bc if you don't you'll fail the midterm & final

Comment:

I greatly disliked Cameron as a person. He made us uncomfortable many times in class and the lectures were often off topic. There were 2 grades, take-home midterm and final. If you focus on the material and try, you can get an A, but it wasn't easy & sitting through the lectures was painful. There was ec for perfect attendance. Says "Pax!" a lot.

Comment:

He's horrible. Constant "stick it to the man" attitude, didn't learn much. Had to do the readings and THERE WERE SO MANY. You have a midterm and final grade that's it. You have to work hard the night before on those exams. They are take home, so if you're up for the challenge go for it. Forget about meeting outside of class if needed, you won't.

Comment:

I would not recommend taking Professor Cameron if you want an easy A. I had to work my butt off to get an A!!!! He is a tough grader and is very specific about what he wants written in the papers. If your paper is good, you get a B. Only if your paper is exceptional, you will get an A.

Comment:

I really enjoyed having Dr. Cameron as my professor. He was always willing to help you understand the material, and the lectures were very interesting. I was actually really excited to attend his lectures. The only thing is, if you want an A, you'll have to work for it. Study the material, be present and participate. Don't blame him, if you fail.

Comment:

Doesn't answer emails and doesn't make himself available to meet with him. He assigned a textbook which was a waste of time and money because we barely used it and he told us everyday "not to write like this" when we were talking about the articles. I'm not a PHIL major but I put in hard work to pass but still ended up with a D. I do not recommend.

Great professor. He is clearly very intelligent and his lectures can be hard to follow if you don't have a ton of philosophy/sociology background. However, he's great with questions, giving examples, and applying his reasoning to current events. He is funny and down-to-earth. The final is 70% of your grade, but is a take home 30 page event.

Comment:

Took intro to social political theory. The course content was great. Readings were heavy, but there was little pressure to remember ultra-specific details of the text. For the most part, his lectures hit on every relevant point in the text. The final was take-home, and was really long, but we had all semester to do it, and it was all we had to do.

Comment:

I took his course on the Philosophy of Karl Marx, initially thinking I would dread it. I couldn't have been more wrong! I looked forward to attending his lectures more than any other this semester because they were stimulating and he did an amazing job of explaining the material. If you have to take Philosophy of Marx, DEFINITELY request Brian!

Comment:

We had two grades in this class, the midterm, and final. And though that sounds good its not, he's a super tough grader and looks for the littlest flaws he can find in your argument. Though it makes you a good writer, do not take this class unless you are looking for a challenge. Do not take this class as a blow off.

Comment:

Great/hysterical professor, but expect to be challenged. By far the hardest class I've ever taken for lack of ppt and a paper for the midterm and final. Spent 14 hours straight on midterm. But it's worth it; due to this class, I am a significantly better and more concise writer than previously.

Comment:

ON THE LAST DAY OF CLASS CAMERON PULLED UP THIS PAGE AND ASKED STUDENTS TO WRITE NICE REVIEWS BECAUSE HE IS THAT PETTY. Does not engage students WHATSOEVER & doesn't care about them at all. He literally shows up and lectures with his eyes closed. Walked away from this class with no sense of achievement or value. Cameron is not a teacher I respect.

You will take as much out of Dr. Cameron's philosophy courses as you put into them. You can sleep through them or you can be actively engaged and challenge yourself. This is a professor who is willing to speak with students on his own time and can guide self-developed thought. His infamous "egotism" is only known because he gives a damn. Strong rec

Dr. Cameron was by far the most delightful instructor I have had in a long while. He is extremely intelligent and will make you question things before saying them a second time.
