Professor Waterman was one of the best professors I had at University. He did not teach down to us; he respected us and his insights into the material were wild sometimes, but always entertaining.

I pray to god that this guy isn't still teaching. I got an A in his class when I had him, which was his first year, so my review can't be explained by him being too hard. He is just a jerk. I have never met anyone more full of himself and less receptive to students.

Good prof. Most of his students blame him for their poor grades, but his harsh grading is more indicitave of reality than most of the children in his class can handle.

Waterman has potential to be a good teacher. He likes the material and enjoys discussions with his students. In the meantime he needs to become better organized and more realisitc with his expectations. research paper due in a week!?! Hard exams to

Weird guy. Interesting points. But overall, totally unclear in his presentation. He tries to help you out, but usually his message gets lost in rant.

He's an alright guy if u dont mind zoneing out for a while. during lectures he just reads a complicated speech and its impossible to take notes while ur trying to figure out all the big words he uses. if u keep up with the reading u'll be fine.

He was alot worse in the beginning of the year but has definitly tried to treat his students better and not be as harsh but there is still alot more that could be improved. It sucks because he could be great and the class could be fun also.

He is a great teacher, all his students worry about is perfectionism, but are missing the point of philosophy altogether. when you hear the students talk in class it is obvious they are the ones missing something, not the professor.

His hotness definately went to his head, entirely too hard and I honestly think that he is only a professor because he loves to hear himself talk.

Prof. Waterman knows philosophy and teaches it well. If you follow the reading and keep an open mind the class is great and very informative.

Okay, so when did Pulp Fiction and the Terminator become part of the course? He tries way too hard to be cool with everyone and it's NOT working. He's so arrogant it's disgusting. Disgusting, I say! Lectures and Discussions are pointless...don't go to

When the midterm needs to be curved so much that a C equals as 54-59 you know the class is not so good...

He makes class interesting. No professor is going to be perfect but he tries to at least keep our attention through a difficult course load. I actually like attending lectures because I know he will have something interesting to say.

An amateur at best. Too concerned with his own clothing, appearance, and trying to relate to his students (while failing miserably) to offer students any real education.
