Comment:
Phil 666 is a ridiculously difficult class based partially in calculus. Having never taken calculus, I was unbelievably lost and tanked the first exam. After that, I started going to Dr Cudd's office hours for help. She was encouraging and helpful. She helped me find ways to work around the math I didn't get. Best professor I've ever had.

Comment:
Prof. Cudd is absolutely brilliant. She is very engaging and expects an equal amount of effort from her students. The weekly paper assignments were stressful at times, but they forced you to interact with the material in a way most classes don't. This is a class for serious students only.

Comment:
the teacher is a capitalist. the books are babkordered so you cant get one for 2 weeks into the semester and then you cant resell it b/c each semester she reformats the book. the book itself in incredibly hard to follow. dont waste your time or your money on this teacher.

Comment:
I never opened up the book, I reviewed each philosopher and their main ideas and got a B. The tests are pretty hard, but if you are good at arguing one side or another and you know the philospers' arguments you will do well. She makes the class interesting. I would recommend getting a head start on her extra credit, I wish I would have.

This class is pretty hard. I thought that I was going to have to drop the class but I ended up pretty well off with a B. The tests are pretty hard (essay) but a good few nights of studying will get you to know the material really well. Daily quizzes in classes are taken that are used for attendance. Pay attention and you'll be fine!

This class is pretty hard. Be prepared to read your text book and to do some serious studying. While attendance isn't mandatory per se, quizes are given every day that affect your grade. If you read, and go to class you should do fine on the tests.

Good teacher, but tough class. If you do the readings, the class becomes very easy however.

Comment:
Most boring lecture i have ever attended. Notes are online, yet they are simple and she extends on them in class. 2 point quizzes each class for attendence pts, i suggest finding a friend and splitting classes up and taking them for eachother. Tests are really hard all short answer and essay....Not fun at all

Comment:
If you like philosophy this class is for you. But, if your like me and not really into philosophy this class sucks. Some of the ideas are interesting, but expect to memorize the ideas behind a bunch of different philosophers and then argue their point of view. The test are fill in the blank, short answer, and essay. Attend class & cram before test

You don't really have to read, thought its good to know the main ideas of the readings. GO TO CLASS, use the powerpoint notes as your main study tool.

Comment:
She knows her stuff and how to teach it. The key is to copy the power point off Black Board before doing the reading and then going to class and it will be easy, even though it's some times difficult to know what exactly will be on the test. But, her choices in G.T.A's were horrible. With mine, everything was an allegory with aliens.

The class is hard, but she makes it really interesting. You have to do a lot of reading but if you like the topic, you'll do well. I think she's a really good professor. With regards to her exams, there are a lot of essay (mostly short), but if you know what you are talking about and/or are good at BSing, you'll probably get atleast a B.

As long as you study for her tests you should be fine, and she offers an entire letter grade worth of extra credit.

she is fair and her class is manageable if you attend class and discussions. keeping up with the reading is pretty helpful, but not necessary.
