Professor Corrigan is the sweetest man I have ever met in my entire life and cares so much about his students. His class is really easy if you do the reading and take notes when he lectures. Our final was a paper that we came up with the topic for so that it was more interesting to us and we actually enjoyed what we were writing about!

Corrigan is the man. As long as you keep up with the reading you'll be fine. His lectures are entertaining and he is very open to questions.

Very nice man, helps you if you go to office hours. Strange way of teaching, but is passionate about philosophy and loves class participation. If you do the reading you will be fine with the "pop-quizzes" and the papers are never too long or difficult.

Corrigan is awesome. He gives pop quizzes but they are only three questions and as long as you do the reading you are fine. He loves when people asks questions because he loves making sure everyone is understanding. Definitely the best philosophy professor at Assumption.

He's really a great guy. I had him for the Tagaste program so I was taking two classes with him over my freshman year so I really got to know him. You only write 4 papers and you have a total of 7 pop quizzes over the semester. He is a little confusing as he goes off on tangents and barely covers all the previous reading

Comment:

There were about 8 pop quizzes. Some of the readers could get very lengthyconfusing. He does a good job explaining them in class, though. He was a harder grader on the papers than I expected, but if you go to him with your ideas, or a draft, he is very helpful. He cares about his students.

Overrated. I did the reading and still didn't do well on the quizzes. I never got called on to participate, either. He only calls on the annoying guys in the class and when I try to participate, he makes me feel dumb. Grades essays at random, says he doesn't look at your name but how come all his favorites get As and I get C's?

I had some difficulty with this class, but in the end I've decided it was a good class overall... Major problem for me was that the whole grade consisted of just 3 essays (25% each) and 7 pop quizzes (together 25% - MUST READ MATERIAL BEFORE CLASS :( )... Key to good grade is to go see him to ask if your essay ideas are accurate... Grade: A-

One of the best philosophy professors around. While he will occasionally fail magnificently to express some point or other, in general he is very informative and engaging. Class is usually discussion oriented.

Ethics - Knowledgeable prof, but sometimes hard to understand the point he is trying to make. Uses a lot of hit or miss analogies. Personality is hard to get a read on. Really nice guy, but will not hold back with a snide comment or two if you do not get a question right. 7 unannounced quizzes on readings, 4 papers (graded harshly). Grade: C+

Very helpful, all quizzes are open notebook and there are no tests, no final exam, just papers...be sure to read a little, pay attention, and take some notes and you'll easily get an A.

Corrigan rocks. He was not only a professor but a peer. I've been out of school for a bit of time now, and I can still pop by his house when his sitting on his front porch. He's the coolest.

Absolute best course ever. He is so amazing, if you go to class and dont have the attitude of "this****s retarted" you'll do fine. hes MORE than willing to sit down with you for hours to get you to understand the difficult concepts. makes you think a lot! so worth it!!
