He failed me for not turning in homework assignment despite earning B otherwise, including final that covered HW. I had medical issue and he refused to take my HW late despite explaining. He didn't think my understanding of the material mattered, or my med condition &Suggested Withdrawal instead of contesting the grade. doesn't do website/e-files.

I had such a wonderful time in Advanced Epistemology! Entire class got a B or better which is wonderful for an advanced philosophy course. Readings were excruciating but the discussions we had in class made them crystal clear. He's really funny and sort of awkward, like I am, so I liked that. ;)

An awesome prof and class, as long as you don't stress about what grade you will get. Grading depends on your TA. but it is worth taking for the interesting lectures.

honestly he spends most of his time repeating himself, and the TA's aren't easy graders but in the end he doesn't expect you to know more than he's taught and with no surprise questions he is actually a refreshing test-giver compared to the dozens of pointlessly convoluted finals i've taken here at ucsb

Michael is awesome! He's smart, clear, concise, and if you go to lectures there's no way you can do well in his classes. I love how he is willing to help anyone, and he really is. He integrates movies into what we learn, and really does whatever he can in order for a student to succeed. The dude is a boss, and anyone who says otherwise is crazy.

He is kinda adorable with his awkward performane of subject matter, playin with blinds. Explained concpts various ways till u got them, if u asked. It was very difficult, but he also said it was meant to be reasonably difficult n that helped in how to approach it. Shocked to hav such a yng prof teachin, wldnt hapn in OZ. Figured must b sum prodegy
