Really interesting class and professor. She loves philosophy and tries hard to explain it. Posts notes on blackboard and assignments are fairly easy.

Interesting topics but honestly little point in going to class. She puts all notes on blackboard and after the first exam she gave us a list of all the questions on the test. I failed first exam, aced other two. the difference? I stopped going to class. TAs grade INSANELY hard. Honestly, MEMORIZE THE READINGS because that is what they grade on.

The class was really good! She lets you get into debates with your classmates which I found really helpful when it came time to write my final schema analysis. She expresses her own view a lot...but if you can get beyond that, she's a lot of fun!!

She's a great teacher. She's so funny and makes the class interesting -- and her Australian accent is so cute! I had a death in my family when the final paper was due and she was so understanding and really helped me out. She's always willing to talk or help you out if you stop by her office after class. The class is a challenge but very fun!

Dr. Dwyer is a sweet lady and youcan tell she loves what she's teaching. Grading scale is nice, but her TA's grade unbelieveably hard for a 100 level class. All tests are essay, so it leaves answers open to interpretation. Enjoyable class, but tests and papers are more difficult than they should be.

Comment:
The class and the readings are rather boring. If you do not agree with Dwyer, she will basically humiliate you in class. She is very narrow and even makes**** boring. Additionally, her TAs are neither interesting or well informed. Don't take this class, it is simply not worth the effort or frustration.

Readings for the class were well-picked, but Dwyer is very narrow, not particularly interesting, and as a whole uncompelling. I would not recommend.

I love her Contemporary Moral Issues class. I've never been so interested in a class before. The content is so relevant and captivating. Dwyer really inspires you to think and analyze.

She was a very detailed teacher. She helped me understand a lot about philosophy. Her classes aren't boring, they're interesting. Tests are easy... you get review questions that pretty much outline the test. She gives her free time to help and talk to you

Liked listening to her Australian accent. Great woman. Fun classes-brought her dog. Papers aren't bad if you prepare and GO TO CLASS. Exams are easy, get questions ahead of time. I had no prior experience in philosophy and loved the class, got an A.

If you actually get to know her, she's a really interesting and helpful person who deserves more credit than given.

She is a very analytical philosopher, which is nice, but she has little knowledge of and love for non-analytic philosophy.
