I still don't have my grade. I'm upset because this is literally the last PHIL course I needed to take for my major. I wanted to declare early and nowwwww idk I have a NG now. The Prof was genuinely unprepared most of the time. Pretty sure half the class dropped. The class was repetitive, would have been better with a diff Prof.

Lectures are not helpful, and the notes given along with the reading are disorganized. The course depends heavily on self-study, but the essays are fine as long as one finishes the readings. The most annoying part is that grades are released after the registered ddl without any announcement and with no clear score displayed for one essay and final.

The TA was a logician who graded papers as if there was a numerical scale you could use to evaluate philosophical understanding. Miss one minor concept, and boom, it goes from A to C. Lectures were so removed from the readings that they felt like separate ideas despite being about the reading. Also missed the grade deadline?? All-around messy class

Sent us an email that was very unprofessional towards T.A. because he gave us an "unauthorized extension," implied that he lied about it, and let us know there would be no further extensions in the course, then gave an extension on the next paper. Has now used an unauthorized extension herself in terms of submitting our grades after the deadline.

Not only is this prof easily the worst lecturer I've ever had, but he is also extremely rude and degrading. Our TA screwed up and he sent out a very passive aggressive and unprofessional email to our class singling him out. The TA may have been at fault, but he's trying his best and cares about the students. He did not deserve that humilitation.

Unprofessional. Sent mass email about a mistake our TA made and was very rude about it, singling him out. Our TA plays a critical role in the course and should be shown more respect. Singling him out was unprofessional, and if there is something behind the scenes going on between the two she should consult w/ him or UCSB admin.
