If you are not her chosen few students who she likes - it is a struggle to get through. I thought I left this kind of teaching style back in high school. If you are someone she likes - this course is thought-provoking and not just a typical philosophy memorization fest (makes you actually think). If you aren't, and god forbid you have your phone out in any way, I suggest students to swap to a different lecturer.
he is the best!!! lectures aren’t thattt interesting but im not thattt into philosophy so… hw is basically j comments on the reading. u can skim the reading. no exams or anything crazy. just papers that were short w limited word count. wasn’t strict abt attendance at all but i do recommend attending bc notes r helpful when writing papers. his office hours r online but he’s great over email too.
Pretty light workload, tests and quizzes aren't hard as long as you read and pay attention to lectures. Also just an overall nice and personable guy
He's a chill DJ with a Yondu haircut
TERRIBLE
elite- kind of underground bc hes newish but excellent prof doesn't make stuff too hard good guy overall as well- not gonna change your life prob but you can not go wrong- take him 100%
Bro no way we are one class into the semester and two mfs already posted here today talking bad about her. It may be a long semester
Worst professor at boston college. not too difficult to get an A but such a horrible professor.
Straight forward in-class essays where he gives you concise and easy to follow study guides beforehand. Never any homework and prof is super personable and entertaining.
Absolutely unnecessary amount of work compared to other classes, you are likely to go through 50% more readings as well as have double the amount of exams, absolute hell of a class, I am Double majoring in Math/comp sci and this class took more time and effort than both my major classes combined.
She should not be working here anymore. She made me drop the class because she didn't want to deal with my medical accommodations, which is illegal. Do not take a class with her.
very chill class. its also fun and easy to participate. prof hanly genuinely cares about what you have to say. grading isn't harsh at all. totally recommend
awesome teacher. Funny, fun guy. very doable class.
Professor Legas clearly cares about the course material and does a good job of explaining the content. However, she is very strict about the use of outside sources and is quick to belittle students for asking questions or for needing clarification on the content.
