Nice TA, knows a lot about ethics. I'd definitely recommend him. Made the class more interesting.

PHIL3 . 14 Years Ago

Pretty boring lecturer that basically recites what the book already says in a more annoying manner...can't even count the number of times per day the guy says "or something like that". Shows up late and complains about tardiness of students. Overall an annoying guy and not a great teacher, but his class is easy.

Cool concept for a class, but at times it can be mind-blowing. May is a good young professor, and is willing to help. He compromised a lot in the year according to the students pace. He was very involved, no papers and 2 midterms and a final plus hw and weekly quizzes.

PHIL1 . 15 Years Ago

Looks like this guy's been a TA in the past. This quarter, he taught Phil 1 for the first time i think. He's a pretty solid prof, a nice guy and he is good at covering the basics. Not a huge fan of the subj matter tho.

PHIL134 . 15 Years Ago

Super Hard grader, very nitpicky.Knowledgable,was a good ethics TA but needs work as a professor in getting across what he expects.Going over less topics in more detail would make his class better.If you get him concentrate on his class.He is a nice guy however,a little too serious.Needs to worry more about learning and less about grades. Egotistic

PHIL134 . 15 Years Ago

Interesting class. The readings can be kind of heavy but he gives you handouts in class that pretty much summarize them. He tells you how to succeed on the first day, listen! Oh, and he is kind of a stickler for concepts on the paper. Make sure you write EXACTLY how the idea is supposed to be.

PHIL20A . 15 Years Ago

Best T.A. ever by far. Took him Fall 07, and he was extremely helpful and clear. He made philosophy interesting, and he had genuine interest in the subject. He was such a good T.A., he is probably the only one I have respect and admiration for at UCSB.
