Comment:

She is an entertaining and grounded professor, which makes talking to her easy, and she is more than happy to talk after class. She requires three papers, and doing the readings are necessary, but she provides the textbook needed. Extra credit is provided.

Comment:

Her class mostly requires a lot of reading & writing. You will have to write 3 papers, 5 discussions (7 total if you include the extra credit discussions), & 3 paper outlines. She is strict on how she wants her papers written, but she does provide an outline. The text can be a bit difficult to read, but you can google it to understand it better.

There is homework. It is not an easy A. You have to understand the concepts. You have to ready and study. But, he is a good and caring professor. You do the work and you pass.

Professor Snider is funny and tries. It could be that I do not understand Philosophy but I found that this course was extremely difficult. There are about 3 papers due along with discussions. The final is a 5-page paper. No exams.

Let me just say that I didn't think I was going to like this class, but the professor made all the difference. I've taken a philosophy class before at community college and it was nothing compared to this class. You can tell that she really loves what she teaches and that she cares about her students. Definitely would take again.

Gives a small amount of homework for each class. Answers any questions people might have with unending patience and gives clear examples. Provides opportunities for extra credit including on exams

Easiest professor I have ever taken! The topic of the papers may seem difficult, but as long as you put effort into the paper, you'll get a good grade. She also lets you turn in late work for partial credit at the end of the semester. There's no reason that anyone should get less than a B in this class.

She is a dorky, funny, and really nice professor. I would recommend taking her because it seems like she really cares about her students. Yeah you have to write papers, but they really aren't that hard and they really aren't that bad... just suck it up and do it. Other than the papers she gives extra credit and there are NO finals so its good!

SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!! def an easy A. attendance is mandatory because thats how you get participation extra credit. Her class is fun though because she's funny and makes you really think about the world and how it works. Don't need textbook because she puts powerpoints online. 4 papers only 2 pages each and 1 extra credit assignment 1 page. TAKE HER!

Very easy course. The work is just 4 papers, no final, and extra credit. Will give you feedback if you ask for it. Loves to talk. No textbooks just two books required. She genuinely loves what she teaches.

She's really nice and reasonable. Teaches through powerpoints and lots of the work mostly consists of papers. Also tends to let class out a little early.
