PHIL112 . 11 Years Ago

Dolson was…good. Teacher was in middle of divorce. Never showed up at office hours. Difficult to judge whether this is in general how he teaches. Fair to theists even though he is probably atheist. Easy A. Lots of extra credit.

PHIL3 . 12 Years Ago

Dan solely taught Phil 3 this quarter. He was very interesting, funny, a good explainer, and cared about how the students were doing. He took attendance only once in a blue moon. He cancelled class a lot and was always 10 minutes late. I thought this was great. Easy A, take-home midterm +final, and lots of extra credit offered.

PHIL205 . 12 Years Ago

I took his History of contemporary philosophy class and was extremely confused along with him apparently. Lots of moodle use. He uses a computer pen for class notes so it looks like chicken scratch and illegible. Doesn't know answers to a lot of questions. Cool guy though. I bet his other classes are dope. This class was just confusing.

PHIL3 . 13 Years Ago

Rude. He spends the beginning of discussion with stupid questions that have nothing to do with the lesson. Dan, smile once in a while. I promise it isn't painful. Waste. The professor was awesome but as a ta Dan wasn't

PHIL1 . 13 Years Ago

Dan is the best TA I've ever got! He is funny and extremely helpful in sections. He clarifies lots of concepts that I was confused in lectures. Provided a lot of example to help you understand. Give you guidelines for papers so that you know how to write a philosophy paper. Overall he makes philosophy very interesting.

PHIL3 . 15 Years Ago

A good professor that knows his material. Lecture is not mandatory but very important, as he explains in detail a lot of material that goes on the midterms/final. His notes (when typed) are very clear and formal, but his handwriting is atrocious. At times he ignores questions during lecture to finish his points.
