Comment:
Gives an old time lecture; uses overhead projector; helps to go to class because each lecture assumes familiarity with previous; average grade just over a C; only one text; many handouts online explaining text and lecture topics; tests multiple choice; results curved; covers main problems of philosophy from analytic view.

Comment:
This class is painfully boring. He seems like a very nice guy, he isn't afraid to use his own odd form of wit, although some people find his wit awkward, I respect his comfort level up there when he is teaching. The class sucks though, it is difficult kind of, and his teaching style/voice/material is obscenely boring.

Comment:
He seems like a nice guy, but his lectures are pretty ridiculously boring. His tests are really hard, but he curves them. On the first exam (out of two), I got the second highest grade in the class with an 82. He's knowlegable and friendly.

Comment:
after the 3rd class I went to Dr. Stalker's office hours with a good question, which he answered and we discussed. I totally understand everything that he says in class and am not suprised when he is mean to stupid people. If you ask a stupid question what do you expect, especially from a guy with severe chronic back pain. Quit whining!!!

Comment:
The reason no one likes this man is because the majority of his students are idiots. If you ask a worthwile question he will answer, and will be very willing to help. However, if all you want is a better grade than you deserve than of course he will be mean to you, and should be mean to you because you are stupid and dont deserve to be at a college

I found the discussion of the lottery paradox especially interesting. I'm now a determinist!

Comment:
Multiple-guess exam format--just 2 a semester (easy in that respect if you can manage to avoid drifting as much as Stalker). He is the worse teacher I have had at UD, although he has written on many interesting and related topics and knows a lot of the people we studied.

This man hurts the soul. He is so boring, and doesn't even make sense half of the time. MY class was dead silent. by the end there were only 9 people out of 46! Just find another professor if you want this class. He was terrible.

I come to each class with an open mind and don't have favorites when it comes to Profesors, but, this might be the worst teacher I have ever encountered. He makes no sense at all, its almost as if he is talking to himself and not a large class. He is so vague<avoid the class at all costs!

Class is pretty damn boring. I never went to class BUT i READ the entire book (it sucked the life outta me) and made my own notes. If you think your an above average or an excellent student take this course because its based on two exams which are graded on a z-score curve.

Hands down the worst prof I've had at UD. He yelled at a girl for putting her test in the wrong pile! A real jerk. Made fun of people who asked questions, IF he even called on people who HAD questions. Extremely vague, boring, and not a nice person at all. Seems to hate his job. UD should fire him!!

Snooze alert! I stopped going to class after the first exam bc a) it was 8AM 2) it was BORING and 3)I realized I could learn it from his handouts and the book. Mult choice exams are challenging, but doable if you do work. If I had to hear him say "whoops" one more time I was going to strangle him.

Terrible, terrible class, get out while you still can, and I mean RUN!!! I had this 8am and it was impossible to stay awake. Attendance is imperative, and there are only 2 exams to decide your entire semester. I really didn't learn a thing

The worst teacher I have ever had. You have to completely teach the course to yourself. Avoid having him at all costs.
