Worst teacher I had. Attended class everyday did all my homework and still managed to fail. He never explained anything just made us do work on the board. I re took this course and got a B with a different professor.

You WILL use your book.Dr. Newberry wrote the book so he knows what he is talking about. He does not give you answers, but guides you into finding them on your own. You don't have to be there and NONE of the assigned homework is graded, bu if you miss/don't do it you won't get it. It's not difficult if you have half a brain and apply yourself.

Ended up with a C+ in tis class. Did all the work, read every chapter, understood what I was reading, but the tests tricked you and were not straight forward. Examples given in class were not related to midterms and finals at all. I had gotten A's and B's in the other classes I took, but this class is HARD. TAKE ANTHROPOLOGY 120 INSTEAD.

I highly recommend taking this class with this professor. It isn't easy, but it is not difficult, either. Prof. N is super nice and helpful and is not intimidating in any way. Warning: This class requires the use of your brain. If you don't like using it, I suggest you find another class to take. Although you will be missing out!

I went to class every day! never skipped. Did all the home work. I still ended up with a D. He doe not explain the material very well. If you dont understand he doesnt know how to explain in any other way for you to understand. His exams are very tough. two 25 point quiz,1midterm,1paper, and a final. if you do bad on 1st 2 test you will get a D.

Very helpful, just write exactly how he tells you to write. Class wasn't mandatory for that class, but it's always helpful.

Grades tests very hard. If you question him about a bad grade on the test he just says that's how he grades. I never missed a class, went to tutoring, and met with him after class and he still gave me an F. I tried my hardest and he didn't take that into consideration.

Newberry is a good teacher but, he has the grades based off of 2 tests, 2 quizzes and 1 hardly graded essay. I am a decent student and I found it difficult to pull an A in his class. I dont believe he curves so if you are willing to work really hard then take this course.

Comment:
The class started out fine at first but as the quarter went on he began to be frustrated with student's lack of understanding. He is calm and mellow but can be intimidating when upset. I wouldn't take him again, but if you plan on taking it I would definitely pay lots of attention and ask lots of questions when I don't understand something.

Newberry was one of the best professors I've ever had. If you have the opportunity to take one of his classes, do it. Phil 102 was pretty hard, it requires a lot of abstract thinking and homework practice, but its very enjoyable and Newberry is a great professor who knows his stuff tremendously well.

As others have commented before, Dr. Newberry is extremely patient and even-keeled. He seems to work hard to communicate in a very clear and precise way, which is nice. Nice guy and a good professor.
