Great teacher to take for Logic of Everyday Reasoning. I am not sure what is wrong with everyone else who rated him but it was one of the classes that I looked foward to.

Mixed feelings. Has a repugnant philosophy and loves to argue. Has a good sense of humor, but will publically humiliate you if you cross him. Best to debate him after or before class. Best come prepared: he debates REALLY well. REALLY knows his ****.

I enjoyed arguing with him. He was smart and I enjoyed his class. You just need to keep up with the reading.

He is very arogant, but does everything to help you out if you try. He seems frustrating at times, but only because he's trying to make you think out of the box. I enjoyed the class, it was an easy A if you do the assignments.

I think this is one of the coolest, laid back teachers at Rowan. Yes, he can and will debate. Yes, the subject is alittle hard to understand. Yes, his grading is tough. But he is awesome. Take him.

One of the best professors I've ever had. He is continually patient with students who, no matter how many ways he tries to explain it, just don't get it (it's them, not him). Philosophy is about reasoning and debate, so you should expect an argument with him. If you are rational, he's easy.

Prof Witonsky is a great teacher, for those who feel stupid after his class it is probably because you cannot open your mind to new ideas and a new rational way to think. I recomend taking this course it not easy but it helps you become a more logical and rational person in the way you see the world

He's the man! I had him in the summer and I can't stop thinking about his awesome class. Witonsky, If your listening, I love YOU.

People that complain about him are just too closed minded to the material. Thats what philosophy is about, opening up your mind. He does a great job and is a really nice guy. He plays devils advocate but thats the point of philosophy. Very smart man who doesn't give himself enough credit.

wintonsky is an awesome prof...you can't go into the class close mided or else you won't take anything away from it...he is willing to help and is very understanding

This man changed my life and my way of thinking. If you want to find yourself thinking critically about your world and your reality take Witonski. If you want to live in ignorance for the rest of your life, don't. It's that simple.

He is probably the best prof ever and so very, very nice. I would recommend him to any and everyone.

Amazing man. Loves to see familiar faces so be sure to take him again and again. And again. Husband thinks I'm obsessed. So bald, so quirky and funny...I would have paid to listen to him read his grocery list.

The best thing about Abe is when he cancels classes. He is very closed minded and will argue with ANYTHING you say. If you don't like constant debates, don't take this class.

Go to class, or you will fall behind. Be prepared to be called on, he involves everyone in the class. Entertaining class as it goes by pretty fast.

I love Prof Witonsky - I take him whenever I get the chance. His classes do involve a lot of debating, but it's for a reason. He wants you to learn how to make a good, solid argument, because that's what philosophy is all about. And he loves to play devil's advocate and get you thinking. I love Abe - I've learned so much from him.

Sure it's a tough class, but what did you expect? It's logic. He does a good job of making you think, which is the point. If you meet him halfway (like come to class and try a little bit) you'll get something out of the class.

awesome teacher. loves what he teaches. students slow the class down. take him if you can handle the class.

anybody who says this class is hard is an idiot. its philosophy - you sit there and think. witonsky explains everything very thorougly and when he "argues" its so he can represent both sides. Easy papers, easy grader, gives you the questions to the midterm/final and lets you take them in a group. don't listen to other ratings

He is very good teacher. He explained things well and put a lot of effort into involving everyone by calling on them. Uses variety of hw, quizes and exams. Philosophical discussions played a minor role, but were very interesting. He doenst seem to have a personal position on anything, but lets his students influence him.

Very knowledgeable and relaxed. Uses the Socratic Method to its absolute fullest, which is how a philosophy professor should use it. Obviously opinionated (and sometimes has a sharp tongue), but encourages student responses and debate. The purpose of his class isn't simply to learn, but to really think and examine issues at every possible angle.

Makes a logic class as interesting as possible. Gives worksheets out in class and has you do them in groups and explains each problem on the board. Tests can be hard but if you study an A or B is within reach. Limited homework that really helps you with material. Missing a class can hurt your grade if you miss a key concept and have to catch up.

Logic was a pretty tough subject, but witonsky is not to blame. blame the subject not the the prof. he does a good job to make logic simple and interesting, and is very helpful. tests are kinda hard, but you have opportunity to bring up your grade with a paper/presentation. can use some notes for test. hes a great guy to talk to outside class

never took a philosophy class before but this was a great class alot of discussions and no tests. you do one final paper and a presentaion you can work with someone which is good. fun class didnt mind going to his class at all. def take him

He is a very good professor. He makes classes very interesting and his lectures are clear. If you have any interest in philosophy, you will love his class. If you don't like his class at all, philosophy is probably not your thing. My only complaint was that we had to submit essays (250-350 words) every Sunday at 1:45PM which was a bit annoying.

I love this guy! If you are interested in philosophy you will love philosophy of religion. He is super nice and he tries really hard to make everything understandable. Plus, he tries to make his class amusing.

Prof. Witonsky is SO cool. You'll get involved in this class by studying different arguments and deciding whether or not they make any sense. He'll challenge your viewpoints no matter what they are, but it's to make you a better thinker and he never makes you feel bad or stupid, just makes you want to try harder. TAKE THIS GUY'S CLASS.

He goes into a lot of detail and goes back to everything more then once. He lets you take test in groups so you be able to do good. The final is the only thing you can't take in a group but the final is based on the first 2 exams so if you apply yourself then you should do fine. He's a good guy, very smart and passionate about Philosophy.

I have a lot of respect for him. Not many teachers in my life actually have me to think of what I say or how I think. If your the kind of person who likes to think a lot of things around you and yourself then I say his class is the best choice for you.

Very, very good at explaining things that are difficult to explain. I could him to be a fairly easy grader as long as he could tell that you were trying. Class is very discussion oriented, which is a nice break from lectures. Kept bugging me to switch my major to philosophy. Because of his class Im thinking about minoring in phil. Overall good prof

He talks A LOT but it's only an hour and a half class. Quizzes are simple if you review the FEW notes that he gives. Can be a confusing subject ex: believe vs. know. Otherwise, easy.

Dr. Witonsky is a great professor. He keeps the class interesting and makes you think.

I took him for an honors course and by the way he talked it seemed like he treated us differently than his normal classes. Overall I loved the class. There was not very much work and the work we did do he graded easily. The class was interesting and thought provoking. Take him!!

Took him for honors intro to philo. Not every interested on the subject (still not) but the class isn't hard at all. Expect to read a lot of papers and take group quizzes on them. Also, you have to write about 5-6 papers but the topics aren't that bad if you do the readings and listen in class. Pretty easy A. No textbook needed.

A Nice Guy who actually listens to his students. He speaks to his students as equals. He is by far the best professor i have had so far.

Nice Professor. Very willing to help.

I took intro to phil, and we wrote a bunch of short essays which were not too difficult. I think he grades leniently. The course material was also really interesting- definitely take this class if you've ever thought about philosophy at all! Professor Witonsky's lectures were also really great, and there was almost never a dull moment in class!

I had Dr. Witonsky for online Philosophy of Mind. The course was extremely interesting and thought-provoking! For it being an online class, the amount of work assigned each week was fair. If you keep an open mind while examining the philosophical arguments, you'll take a lot away from the class. Truly one of the best professors I've ever taken!

I had Dr. Witonsky for Intro to Philosophy and it was a pretty great class. He's a cool guy and talks about thought provoking subjects, even if you're not too interested in philosophy. Class work was alright - had to write a few paragraph long papers about different topics we talked about in class, and took easy group quizzes. Definitely recommend.

Interesting lectures, youll have to pay attention to understand most of the material. Assigns quite a few essays but theyre only ever a few paragraphs. Some of them are reading based and others are based off of content gone over in class. Hes a nice guy and gives good feedback, and seems to actually care about his students.

Took him for Phil. of Mind (WI). Really awesome guy. He's funny, wants to hear your thoughts, & overall the class was very interesting. It's pretty easy to get a good grade if you listen in class, do the readings (seriously) and complete the writing assignments. The class made me pursue Philosophy as a minor. I'm taking him again next semester!

I took Witonsky for online Intro to Phil. The content confused me in the beginning of the semester, but he patiently and clearly answered all of my many questions. You must do the readings and listen to the lecture in order to get an A, and you must pay attention to the way things are worded. After his course, I am considering a minor in Philosophy

This Professor is honestly such a good guy. At first, I was confused by the class and topics being discussed but through multiple days discussing the same topic, he made it very understandable. Topics are very eye opening and professor explains well. Tries not to convey his own opinions too much, but he does let you know where he stands.

I was wary of this class because I hated philosophy and the number of low reviews, but by the end it was one of my favorite courses. I can see the value of the field and looked forward to every class. Dr. W is engaging, smart, and fun. Definetly take the time to engaging meaningfully and you'll get the most out of the course.

I took his intro honors philosophy course and he was very engaging. As someone who hates reading, I can say that he made the material extremely interesting and left me wanting more after the semester ended. Show up, participate, and study. You'll do great!

He is not awful he just wants you to actually do the work and answer the discussions with details, not bad at all, great professor,
