Comment:

This course was one of my biggest regrets in college. The major of this "professional ethics" course was spent dragging on about ethical theory that wasn't relevant to any workday of my career path. Even Dr. Field seemed to be bored and tired of his teachings. He was monotone, unengaging, and seemed to enjoy telling students that they were wrong.

Comment:

The most boring professor you will ever take in your educational career. Puts everyone to sleep and is very pretentious about his ethics class. Half your grade is based on 1 paper with no rubric, completely arbitrary. He monotone lectures for 50 minutes every class that's not an exam. Avoid if possible, if you can't, get on his good side and study

Do not recommend this class. Both my roommate and I took it at different times and it was incredibly boring. I did not learn a single thing and he only grades a few things. Your grade is based on exams and I did not understand half of them.

Comment:

He is very passionate about teaching biomedical ethics. There are 3 tests and one mandatory paper, so if you do bad on one it may be detrimental to your grade. Tests are over the power points, but very hard if you don't understand the material. I studied hard for the tests and only got B letter grades.

Do not take his class. The only thing in the gradebook are 4 exams. Doesn't grade on percentage scale, based on number of points in the gradebook. Straight lecture class, if you do not attend you WILL NOT pass. Very hard grader too. Gives short essay questions a week in advance for you to prepare for exam but cannot take them to class with you.

Comment:

Not many study materials are provided, so you really have to do the reading and know your stuff. The tests are 15 multiple choice, 10 T/F and 2 essay. He gives you four essay questions a week in advance and he'll pick two that are on the test. Lectures are boring but important to attend! Only things in the grade book are the four unit exams.

This is the worst class I have ever taken. Dr Field is the typical terrible professor you see in movies. Lectures with words that dont make sense to anyone unless you are a professional ethithsist. Papers are impossible, I needed help on one and went into his office, he did not do one thing to help me understand the material better.

I consider myself a hard worker and study hard, with that said this class is freaking hard. The only grades in Intro are the tests. You never really know what this man wants. If you do take the class sit at the back because he smells of smoke and you will fall asleep everyday from the lectures.

Worst class I have ever taken at Northwest. He has no explanation for the grades he gives on papers. You can study the lecture as much as you want and still get a C on every test. Don't expect to get a good grade in this class unless you are an Ethicist.

He is beyond boring! He tries to crack random jokes but everyone is half asleep and doesn't care. Don't take him. It will make for a miserable semester!

So boring. I couldn't even try and pay attention because he just tells us random stories about random ethicists who I obviously don't know. Half the words he says sound made up...also he wears sweaters that are WAY too large!

Okay so I honestly thought Field's class was going to be decent after taking his first exam but however everything goes down hill from there as it just doesnt get progressively harder, it's like a whole different class. He grades pretty hard on essays and says many confusing things thinking everyone should just understand. Hard class,but required!

Bad teacher. First part of course, easy, but grades his papers/essay-tests very harshly even if you know the material 100%. Second part of the course is much harder. He expects you to learn several things that he hardly teaches, yet, when you put your answers(after you studied your butt off) down on paper he will grade it on his own criteria.

He's just like any other professor, show up, take notes take a test. Ethics is not interesting or fun, but it does satisfy a requirement. Nice guy, but dont expect an easy grade, he can slam you on the test essays.

Listen, taking his class is like watching a History Channel special. If you have an interest in the topic you will love the class. If you have no interest than it can be the most teeth pulling boring thing you will experience.
