He knows what he's talking about. He does a good job of clarifying the abstract subject of philospohy. The T.A.'s do all the grading and mine was a total dumb-"donkey".

Dr. Falvey is so intelligent, and I think extremely sexy in his own way.

Easy grader, great at clarifying. Copious notes are important in his class, but you can get away with careful reading as well.

Falvey is an interesting teacher, laid back and intelligent. Definitely good if you can keep up with his lectures, sometimes he's a little tangental but thats what makes him fun. He assigns fairly straightforward essays and tests, and while the texts werent impossible, the grading (via Tim Lewis) was ridiculously hard. Dif. TA, better luck.

It is a great class. Falvey is a very good instructor.

I like prof. Falvey. It is very easy to follow his lectures, and he is a comparatively easy grader.

Language philosophy was fascinating. Falvey is the best dressed most stylish teacher on campus. He has the attitude of cool hand luke and the mind of derrida. The sunglasses over the eye-glasses look is incredible. I learned a****load form lecture and discussion, but discussion was more clear. He laughs at himself a lot and makes philosophical jok

Falvey's hot in an off-beat way. Everyone thinks he's boring, but he made me just LOVE metaphysics in my junior year.

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.

...and he is tenured

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.

pretty boring. funny on rare occasions, but mostly one to stay away from

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