Even though he was about 3 mins late to class every time, Chris definitely made up for it in passion and lecture style... He's informal, but clear and good at getting people excited about discussing the material. Take home exams were pretty straight forward. Aristotle was tough, but the pace of the lectures helped. Talking with Chris during office hours was also cool and helpful.

Probably the hottest teacher I've ever had...DAYUM!!But anyway, Aristotle was an extremely interesting class. I've never liked Aristotle because...well, he's a d&^k, but I do have a better appreciation for some of his philosophies, thanks to this class. Text book use was low and tests were just take home essays. Pretty fun stuff! Chris is awesome!

Chris is way mellow but stays on task. Love his style. Can picture him shredding curbs on an old skateboard with rails and huge wheels. Midterm/final were take home essays with way ample time. Go to class and take notes = ace class. To the post above... did you not know that philosophy involves mad reading and writing?

Outstanding professor. Very down-to-earth and knows his stuff. I highly recommend office hours just to talk to him, he's a cool guy.

Chris is an amazing teacher and will make any student love philosophy.

Amazing lectures which start with his "Rock History 101." I mean, how can you hate a professor who starts his lectures with Weezer?! His class is slightly hard, but totally worth it.

Great professor, he definitely knows how to explain all topics of philosophy. Make sure not to get a TA by the name of Jon Plimpton. This TA expects you to write papers the way Plato did or something. His comments on the papers are useless they are pure sarcasm. Worse TA ever!! Chris is a very good professor. Two thumbs up!

Great professor. He plays music videos before each class. He makes you think but makes sure not to put ur ideas down too much. Funnest class this quarter. Keep up with the reading because his lecture clarifies it. 3 essays all quarter, and a couple lil summaries. seriously take it!!!

prof tennberg is really awesome. totally fun class, he plays rock n roll before each class and is a really interesting guy. he plays the devils advocate with all arguments which make you think a lot more. i highly recommend this prof.

Very interesting for a philo class. I was shocked that I actually enjoyed it. The mid-term was take home and he gave a prompt for the final. If you read his power points and understand them you will do great. His lectures were interesting and helpful as well. I never had to do the reading.

Great instructor! Plays music videos before class, AND is in a band which recently had a reunion show. As for the class, he teaches the subject well, and makes sense out of what seem to be confusing arguments by philosophers. Entertaining and well-versed in the subject, allowing for interaction with students during lecture.

he plays music videos before every class. hes pretty young. hes clear but often when you ask a question he says he will get to it later and it doesnt always happen. interesting course.. attending lecture isnt really necessary but certainly helps you grasp the material
