Most inspiring teacher I had at Cap while taking Philosophy of Law. The class discussions were on point. The papers were graded for interest in writing. I loved having Stan.

A terrific course that was about things that mattered and, as Stan says, wasn't "just about how to sell pizza."

Stan is one of my favourite profs. I had him for Ethics and Phil. Of Culture. He forces you to think and doesn't believe in spoon feeding. If you want a class to get by on autopilot, he isn't for you. If you want a class that will make you think and improve your writing skills, go for it. He will make the same jokes from one semester to the next.

Comment:

Stan is a nice man but I didnt like him as a prof.I took phil 222(phil of culture) & was genuinely very excited about this topic but didnt end up learning much. He rambled on in class about irrelevant subjects and his lectures were very unstructured. He assigned 6 books for reading and 3 essays during the semester which is a ridiculous course load

I barely showed up to class and Stan noticed every time and would make a comment, class is easy since I just started Uni and wasn't really sure what to do, he doesn't have any tests, just 3 different essays spread throughout the semester on your own topics, show up and you'll be fine

Comment:

If you need to take a Phil class , take ethics with Stan. You don't get any testsexams, only three essays which are fairly easy to write if you enjoy ranting and are good in the English department. Every class discussion is relevant and also very interesting. He's hilarious too.

Amazing prof! Lectures can be a little strung along but after a 3 hour lecture-based class, topics still flow with ease. Class participation is up to you. Stan is easy to communicate with and helpful if you need help in any way. Very successful and inspirational man, love hearing his opinions on the world. Highly recommend this class!

Really good teacher. No tests, just essays, which makes sense for this kind of course. All about gods, beliefs, language, minds, ourselves. I liked it a lot.

Stan has purposely made his class very difficult to fail. As long as one hands in his required writings, they'll pass. Be prepared to sit through his repetitive and liberally opinionated speeches. He's a funny guy, and he knows his stuff, but he can be a real bore at times.

Excellent teacher. The course is about big, important questions about the meaning of our lives. The most relevant course I've taken this year. And the prof is funny and gets the student's work back on time.

Comment:

Absolutely dread going to this class, it's all just boring debates. He tells us to not be biased but he is biased himself. The papers leave you clueless due to the fact that it is open topic with little to no guidelines. He is a difficult marker, always end up receiving C's. Never taking philosophy again.

Took his class 2 years ago because my high school buddy wants to take the course with me. So I just attended the class, only to find that this guy constantly shuts me up with a gesture that says "too loud" In fact, his punchline is just that my class is constantly distracted with XXX on the Internet that it stopped being funny 3 Wednesdays later...
