So sweet and cares about her students. Wacky but in a good way. Go to reviews for exams she will answer any question you have. A lot of papers are assigned but she gives you many topics to choose from, and you could easily write them just with what was talked about in lecture. One of my favorite philosophy professors.

She literally makes the class horrible. I was so excited to take this course and it felt like she didn't care at all. She is not there to help at all, refuses to give extra credit even though she knows her students are failing. In addition, she only gives 4 assignments, setting you up for failure.

Comment:

Mrs. Rogers' class has a really poor implementation for online class (COVID-19), and because of this, I would never recommend anytime take this class until changes are made. All her class is, is watching her lectures that she recorded in 2016, 2 times a week. Each video is an hour and fifteen minutes, with poor audio that makes learning difficult

I had her during the pandemic and she didn't even teach us. She posted recorded lectures from 2016 and more recently edited slides so they didn't even match up. We did not have a single meeting face to face. The only grades were 4 Tests. I did like the material that was taught just not the way it was taught. Take the class in person not online!!

This is a sample email from this professor "I continue to get requests for doing extra credit. I do not intend to change the evaluation procedures that I spelled out for everyone at the beginning of the semester, here in the last quarter. I realize this is being a tough time for everyone..." Then ended with assessing the final grades, thedisrepect

Worst class imaginable, I am in my second to last semester and I have A's in everything else and I'm currently failing this class. There are 4 exams, no new formatted material, just shoved together garbage from past semesters. The sad thing is that she's getting paid a professors salary to use proctoru and upload old stuff. I am disappointed UD.

I am about to finish this course in fall 2020, so I took it all online and asynchronous due to COVID. Out of all the classes I'm taking this semester, this is by far my least favorite and most difficult. The entire grade is based off of 4 exams, THATS IT. Unless you really enjoy philosophy or learning about specific philosophers, don't take this.

Tests are the only things graded besides clicker scores which don't affect the grade enough. Anytime someone answers a question she says "A for the the day" and after the first few times you hear it your gonna want to never hear her voice again. Tests were hard and questions were worded poorly. Don't take this class as a breadth, not worth it.

This class was really interesting and Rogers is good at explaining the material and making the class interesting. As long as you take good notes and study, it should be an easy A. The Only thing is her powerpoints are super unorganized so you really have to listen during class and take notes according to what she says.

4 Tests, Pay attention to slides and what specific philosophers think, as she will tell you in class and in textbook. Textbook for clicker questions which make up 20% of your grade. Other 80% split between 4 tests including final. Nice lady, not too hard

Rogers is a very nice teacher who clearly enjoys her subject. Unfortunately, that subject is Philosophy, which isn't a class I believe should be taught in a lecture-hall style. But it is. Pretty boring class, but if you take notes and follow the (very vague) study guides the tests aren't super difficult. I liked the teacher but the class is dull

while a nice woman, this is the worst class I have ever taken. For a 101 class, it's extremely difficult and is graded only on tests and quizzes based on readings. I could study so hard and the grades always ended up being bad, it's a confusing topic and the lectures don't help. There are 80 slides per powerpoint filled with long paragraphs to copy

DON'T take Rogers if you have no prior phil knowledge. I took this thinking it would be an interesting/easy 100 level course and I was so wrong. Save your GPA! You only have 5 grades for the whole semester. Her slides have no titles/format they don't make any sense. I have studied for hours and still can't get over a 75 on an exam. So frustrating

Super annoying. Lectures are unorganized and slides make no sense. Her tests are biased towards her opinion and she expects everyone to have her views. Only reason I pass the tests are because of the TA reviews. She requires textbook for insane amount of readings every night. Way too much work for a 100 course/elective. 5 grades & no extra credit

Does little to nothing to make lectures engaging in anyway. Goes on several tangents unrelated to the course. I took this class because I thought philosophy would be interesting, and maybe it is, but with Rogers I would have no idea. The tests are opinionated to her own views on philosophers, and terribly worded. Thanks for ruining a subject for me

If you take an intro PHIL class... take the one with Dr. Jordan instead. This class was horrible and the exams are not worded clearly and are biased toward this professors opinions. This was one of the worst classes I have ever taken, and there are much better options for intro PHIL classes at UD.

God, I love this woman. The class is genuinely interesting. The material is engaging. The tests are fair. She is available outside of class, and is actually a brilliant philosopher with a whole array of fascinating views. Highly recommend. Professor Rogers is one of a kind. Also she says "A for the day" a lot and it really grows on you. Take her!

Rogers isn't an easy A professor, but she isn't a stressful prof either. The clicker quizzes are every day and make up 1/5th of your grade, and they're usually easy. She does them every day, twice a class, and you only need 30, so you don't have to go every day. Exam Qs straight from lect, but she posts them online. She's an easy B prof.
