Prof. Farley is honestly the best professor I have ever had at Fordham. He's so understanding, knowledgeable, and considerate. Philosophy classes can be very difficult, but he makes this class understanding and fun. The one thing you really need to do to pass this class is put effort and participate if you do that he'll help you out with class work

Professor Farley, is such an inspirational, caring, hilarious, & intelligent person. Philosophy can be boring and confusing but put in effort and participation and he will always help you along the way. He has been the best professor of my college experience so far, if you want a prof. who know what he is talking about and cares than he's your guy

He is truly a professor who wants his students to learn. He is very understanding and will always re/further explain if a student needs. The things you have to do to pass his class is participate, do the work, and respect. He gives assignments while teaching, assigns one paper, a midterm, and a final. He ALWAYS reviews material & is hilarious!

Dr Farley is brilliant and can teach the course in German, Spanish or Italian if he wanted to. If you don't want to do the reading or plan to participate in the class discussions then find another class. He mixes stories with the required reading to make the class enjoyable.

Professor Farley is an amazingly smart man that knows much about many different things. He is fascinating to listen to, and he clearly loves and is passionate about teaching and making sure the students that enter his classroom, leave with more knowledge and information than they entered with. He makes discussions relevant to real world issues

Comment:

Completely unclear. When he emails you back he'll tell you one thing and the class another about the same question. Final tomorrow and I'm not sure what's on it. Doesn't do what he says he will, EVER. I'd give him a 0 if possible on clarity.

Professor Farley is one of the best teachers I have ever had. In order for you to succeed in his class you have to allow him to teach you, just sit back and listen to him speak. The man is like 90years old (seriously) he's full of wisdom. If you don't get anything out of his class, its you who has the problem, quit checking Facebook.

Way past his teaching prime. It took him 4 hours to go through 4 pages of a syllabus l, and that's just the start of it. He cannot stay focused on a single thought. There is no clear grading policy and no clear instructions on what is expected. You won't learn a single thing about ethics or any of the great philosophers. Waste of time. PASS ON HIM.

Topics taught by Prof Farley are both mandatory. Must do the readings, not many but his midterms and finals are taken directly from readings and notes. I appreciate his helpfulness even when I was no longer in his class. Truly a great person and a nice prof.

Prof Farley is a very interesting and knowledgeable teacher. If you pay attention you will do well in this class. He is very fair and will help you as much as possible. He cares about his students. My only regret was that the class was not long enough. Would have liked to have had more time to explore the vast amt of info he had to share.

Comment:

Professor Farley is well versed in many interesting phrases in German and Spanish. This invites your mind to further explore and understand what is being discussed during lectures. More than repeating sleeping or boring theories, he applies real life experiences to the subject. Sometimes you don't even realize that you have run of time.

Comment:

His lectures are not just banal repetitions of old theories,accepted tenets and old propositions but rich in insights and sensible virtuous though.He has this tendency to take his students through a journey of the mind and heart instilling a sense of marvel for the human nature and the world around which academia doesn’t always properly foster

Comment:

Excellent professor! Prof. Farley speaks several languages and he is very intelligent . He is funny and if you have a pulse you will laugh! His lessons are very clear and useful. You must do the reading in order to do well. I live in New Haven, CT and commuting to his class was worthwhile. Be sure to study for the exams and comment during class.
