The class is boring if you zone out, or don't participate.. but that is most things. I thought his teaching style was fine, and he really listens to students and lets you discuss in class.

Comment:
By far the worst professor I have ever had. Incredibly boring and dry. He expects way too much of a basic level philosophy class and grades unnecessarily hard.

Comment:
The reason I gave him 5's on everything is because this was the easiest A I have ever gotten. You don't have to go to class-if you miss you just check off the last class on the attendance sheet. I never read except for the books we actually had to write papers on and there were no tests. It's boring and dry but he is really nice & gives extensions.

I had no interest in Philosophy until I took this course. This professor was able to effectively translate some very complicated material and make it meaningful and magical. This class was enlightening and eye-opening.

I LOVED this class (Aesthetics). He's super sweet and really great about late papers, giving generous extensions. I did hardly any work and minimally participated but he still gave me an A, probably because "I tried."

Ok, I worked for 6 hours on the rough draft of my final paper...Deweese-Boyd gave me a projected C. So, I improved it step by step, having him read my progress until it was done and he said "Good!" So, I turned it in (on time) and he gave me a C-! Yeah, LOWER than my rough draft! I HATED his class. He's gotta get a personality too!

Comment:
He's a really nice guy; very approachable. However, he's very boring, his assignments are annoying and long, and most of what he says goes over your head. He really does need to take a public speaking class. But the fact of the matter is I could care less about philosophy.

very intertesting topic, he did mumble at times, but he made sure everyone understood the concepts and told you exactly what you should know.

Dr. Dwees-boyd is a good guy. He cares about students and is easy-going. I do not think his lectures are boring. Just because he doesn't jump around and joke all the time doesn't mean he isn't engaging. I have really enjoyed aesthetics this semester.
