kind of a weird person. i was expecting a full 10 week metaphysics class but got 8 weeks of metaphysics at which point the class devolved into a gender theory class that was completely unrelated to metaphysics. the saving grace of the class was the GOAT TA Wade Fu

His lectures are all over the place, he spends very little time on important topics and then spends too much time on other things. He's really vague on assignments, so you'll rely on your TA for most of that. He doesn't take kindly to questions and refuses to accept viewpoints other than his own. He clearly knows philosophy but sucks as a teacher.

honestly worst lecturer ever. He goes in circles even if you like the topic you can't understand anything he is saying. His voice in lecture isn't clear, and his lectures are extremely hard to follow and very frustrating. If you take this class you have to self study to pass. Extremely difficult because lectures don't help at all.

Worst lecturer Ive ever had, goes in circles all class.

The first paper I wrote for him was well thought out and really discussed the different angles of the theories studied. I got a C-, so for the second paper, I dumbed it all down and regurgitated what he said how he said it. Got an A on that one. His lectures are streams of consciousness and he just wants to hear his own opinions in your papers.

Falvey is an interesting guy. Really great in office hours, but is lectures are god awful. I'm currently a philosophy major and I absolutely despised this class. That being said the material is clear if you pay attention and focus on the handouts.
