Difficult teacher, but I actually learned something eventhough I didn't think I was learning anything during the class. I took him for a few things, but all I really remember was the Philosophy of Language. He related everything to calculus, which didn't

he talks like he knows his**** and knows we arent worth his time. classic--longish hair, chalk on a suit that doesnt match, such a hot philosopher. granted, im a phil major, but he was a great lecturer, if you are attentive. he goes into extra detail, but still good. def go to section though.

i realized during the review session that there is absolutely no need to go to class, just go to discussion.there's a review session before the final that covers all Falvey's study questions, which is basically the final.no midterm, just 2 papers. lectures=waste of time, but you can still do well.

You can't ever tell where he is looking or if he is making eye contact with you. His actual lectures follow the overhead notes very loosely. It's hard to pay attention in this class because you're busy copying down the outline while he is rambling about something else.

Class is a little boring, but if you really try to pay attention, his tangents are very interesting, and you can follow the main points of the lecture with the overhead notes. He seems like a smart, interesting guy, and hes' really passionate about his subject matter. Make sure you get a good TA.

I slept through nearly every lecture. Very boring. Get a good T.A. if you plan on passing the final, which is comprehensive.

He was boring! I brought a book every day to pass the time. All he does is ramble and pace around. The assignments are annoying and they grade really hard. Avoid this class, if you can!

this guy breaks into tangents, gets really boring and is weird. his lectures were hard to understand. he's a pretty off the wall kinda guy, and i bet he's pretty cool. he dresses nice, but his lectures bored me and he was kinda hard to follow.

Falvey is a little boring, although his jokes can be pretty entertaining.

This guy is a moron who speaks as though he is an enlightened sould and thinks he is smarter than he really is. I am stupider for having taken his class.

Knows a lot about the topic, but gets wrapped up in tangents, and is boring.
