I am usually open to philosophy and ethics class and really looked forward to this one, but Meriwether is the worst. His grading his horrible and all the quiz answers sound the same. I had this class for half the semester and it was horrible. DO NOT RECOMMEND !

Professor Meriwether is a super cool guy. If you show up to class and put effort into your work you wont have any trouble. He makes lectures interesting and has a good personality! Be prepared to do quite a lot of work to get a good grade though. Sometimes he can be overly smart and not make sense.

Try his class, you can always drop! He is nothing like everyone says. Yes, he has an opinion; however, he is very open to oppositions. I will take him as a professor again.

Comment:

Hands down worst professor I have ever had at shawnee. He's tough, but thats not what makes him bad. He's very very confusing with his feedback. Told me I was doing "excellent" on my outline paper, only to FAIL my final draft after following exactly what he said.

He is a tough professor but he wants his students to succeed and is always open to helping you, you just have to ask. There is a lot of reading and he is a tough grader but only to prepare you for the real world. He understands things happen and will work with you.

Good professor overall! Devoted to his job and always welcomes questions! Be prepared for lots of homework and to attend class every session. His essays were challenging for me because I had never written an essay with such detail before!

Comment:

Great Professor! Very knowledgable and the work load isn't that bad. You only have to read and answer some questions every week. As long as you show up and put some effort in you'll do fine. My only complaint is that he would sometimes let us out of class 5 minutes early.

Comment:

This professor started out fabulous and had a lot to offer in terms of learning. However, midway through the semester it absolutely felt like he stopped caring and rambled on and on, held the class WAY PAST the designated time and treated the class as if this class was the only one we had. Definitely do not take the on- campus version. Avoid!

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!! If you want to be stress this is the person for you. He do not consider how you understand things, his point of view is the only way to go. He gives you homework every week. When you take this class, he will treat it like the only class you are taking.

Comment:

Awful, awful teacher. He treats you like your a child. You are not allowed to go to the bathroom. His opinion is the only opinion that matters. If you take the 3hr once a week class, he keeps you the full time and THEN some. Expect to do a LOT of useless homework. He also makes you participate in class discussion. DO NOT TAKE HIM. AVOID!!!!

Expects you to know the material as well as he does. Only 2 absences or your grade drops. Amount of work is insane as well as the way he structures tests. Interrupts people constantly. Expect homework every night as well as quizzes, papers, and tests. EXTREMELY tough grader. Getting an A is next to impossible.

Comment:

Many people do have their disagreements with Dr. Meriwether's methods, However, In spite of this fact, I would still recommend Meriwether as a professor, he possesses a profound understanding of the philosophical subject matter he teaches. P.S- Be ready to study, reading and research a lot for this class, essay, and quiz aren't easy by any means.

Comment:

This has been by far THE worst class Ive taken in my college career. The sheer amount of work given is insane, not to mention the quizzes and tests to go along with it. He talks very arrogantly, and treats everyone as if we are children. We were given assigned seats and were told we couldnt even get up to use the restroom. Do NOT take this class.

Comment:

Very intelligent individual. Came in expecting to learn , which I did. However, I was let down in the end and honestly expected a lot more out of the class. But it wasn't really his fault, it was my own. I did not read the books or anything and I messed that up myself. Advice - if u are going to take the class read the book.

Comment:

He is a tough grader. If there are several answers to a test answer and you miss one of the answers then you miss the whole question. You will have homework every night and a lot of it between reading and answering study questions. He is not clear in the answer that he expects you to know.

Comment:

No not take this class for a GEP unless you are interested in philosophy and really want to try. You have to do a reading and answer questions for each class. You can't miss more than two classes and he's a tough grader. I had a high school english professor edit one of my paper and he still took off a merit grade for grammar mistakes...

Comment:

He is NOT willing to help a student who is requesting it from him. I have tried contacting him through email several times about an issue on his end of blackboard. It is spring break or I would go see him myself. He only said he will consider the issues I am having.
