He's an intelligent funny guy that cares about what he's teaching and has always wanted to help me but gives very tough assignments. It's best that I showed up to his classes because he's tough when it comes to attendance but thankfully class was interesting.

Comment:

He's a great lecturer and does a good job explaning the material. BUT, he shows no mercy when grading written assignments. Philosophy is a subject that's open for interpretation but Saul is a very biased grader. However, the multiple choice exams are pretty easy as long as you read. Says he's willing to help but can be very nasty seeking advice.

He is a good teacher. He explains the material well and in the end of each class, we have a little quiz. The answers are mostly on the board. Be sure to take notes because it will be hard to pass without them. There are only 3 exams throughout the whole course so be sure you want to take the class.

Comment:

Saul knows how to keep every lecture interesting and engaging. An immediately like-able guy with a vast amount of knowledge on his subject. He even went out of his way to help me on project I had for another class that was sort of related to philosophy. Take one of his classes before he retires; you won't regret it.

He's a really good professor. He's thoughtful and intelligent, and he's funny. Every class there's a mini quiz to ensure attendance (something like "write something that's on the board", they're simple). Honestly, you have to come to class to do well. He's good at lecturing, and appreciates class discussions. You actually have to try in this class.

This guy was ridiculous. I went to him for help and he looked at me like I had 5 heads. Hes an extremely tough grader when it comes to his papers. Every class I would walk out with a headache because its nonsense what he teaches. It makes no sense. If youre looking to skate, dont take him. If you do take him, buy a bottle of Advil, youll need it.

He will set you up for failure, he says that if you go to him for help he will help you but when you do, he just stares at you like you have 5 heads. You're better off teaching yourself philosophy.

Logic is a tough class & I was actually doing great in it. Got A's on the 1st 2 tests & had an A for attendance quizzes. He even told me I was a bright student, but his 3rd test was 50% which is ridiculous. I had an A in the class & I ended up failing the 3rd test and getting a C in the class overall. A test shouldn't be 50% Finals aren't even 50%.

Pretty interesting class. He's not at all a hard grader. He actually bases his grades on a very lenient system. I believe an 87-100 is an A. I did not particularly like philosophy but I got an A and I learned some stuff in his class. I'd recommend it. He's smart and he always tries to help you understand.

There are "quizzes" given every class (to ensure you come, theyre easy). 3 grades : 25% for exam 1 (a paper) but he gives you ample time to do it. & clearly goes through everything he wants included. Dont wait until last min to start it (I got a 94). Exam 2: 25% & Exam 3: 50%, gives you study guides & answers. if you fail, ITS YOUR OWN FAULT

Prof. Kelton is a fantastic professor, he breaks down complicated material in a way that is understandable. Logic is not an easy subject, it is very abstract and difficult to grasp at times. There will be three tests including the final exam, he is a very fair grader and curves appropriately depending on the classes performance. Take this class!

Professor Kelton is a great professor. Any question you have he will stop and answer it with no problem. The class was easy for me because I took notes, asked questions and went to him for help. He wants you to come to him for help and he embraces it. The class is very fun and even more fun if you're a really deep thinker.

Very fascinating man, overall a good professor. Class consists of three exams, Saul is a very hard grader on written exams. Saul lectures in a clear tone and makes philosophy fundamentals seem easy to grasp. His exams are designed for all students who attend his classes regularly easy to ace. Attendance is mandatory, missing class hurts final grade

Prof. Kelton is a wonderful philosophy teacher. I learned so much from this class, and I'm not going to lie, this class is hard but all you need to do is to take meticulous notes and listen to his lectures. You get three exams, one paper and a midterm and a final. He gives you a study guide, make sure to do them 100%, if you do, you'll get an A.

Prof. K is super "cool" and can be tough. But as long as you copy down "everything" he talks about -- that's his tests - though difficult. I was lucky that I was from his generation.

attendance is mandatory, so even if you are the kind of person who does their work, and studies their course info, but misses class often do not take this class. Your final grade consists of 3 grades, 1st exam 25% (4-5 pg ppr. written at home) 2nd exam 25%- 65 MCQs. 3rd Final Exam 50% 65 MCQs. It sucks for me big time, doesn't work for me.
