I think he is great, he changed my way of thinking completely. The books are interesting, but you have to want to understand them. The mid-term was easy and the papers aren't long. I don't like the no yawning policy though.

If you want to actually learn something, take him; if not, don't. It's that simple. He's kind of funny too.

hard at first but stick with it past the first test. he tries to get people to drop

Yea he starts out stern, but he is incredibly intelligent. He is very fair and tells you exactly what he expects in all of his assignments. You have to want to do well and learn in order to get a good grade. Def. have to earn it!! Stop being babies...

If your smart you'll do good. otherwise run.

Nice guy and a good professor. If you want to do well you have to work. Sorry, I know that that may be hard to swollow, but he's not hard if you work. And if you do, you'll learn a lot.

I liked his class so much that I changed my major...awesome guy, but you definately have to work to earn the respect/grades that you get.

Let me tell you one thing, and this is the only thing you need to know. This little guy must have gotten the living crap pounded out of him in high school, now hes out on his little powertrip.

He's so cute!!! I loved his class!!!

I <3 Skoble

His class was amazing. He is a very bright person and is interesting. Highly recommend him if you're not interested in just worming by.

I learned more than I expected and wish I could fit another Skoble class in my schedule for next semester. Very smart guy.

This guy is the man. He is a linguistical little wizard who will shut you down. He will shut all you liberal goons down in a heartbeat. Take this class if you want to learn.

This is a very difficult course! I enjoy going to class and listening to the lectures, but he assigns a lot of work. The papers are very long and he grades hard. Nice teacher. Enroll at your own risk.

Group Debates took up most of the class time, and were kinda fun while you learned. Only one paper and no final! Not that bad at all.

Unlike many other professors at BSC, Prof. Skoble never clearly expressed his personal political beliefs. He's a really nice guy, but his class is one of the toughest I have ever taken. Blame the subject matter, not the professor.

this man is ridiculously smart but nice too. he is hard but probably just because he is too smart for most to understand. he teaches well because he gives fact rather than a lesson filled with his opinion.

He is a very smart man and I like his style during lectures - just the facts. He brings up interesting points and genuinely loves the topic. I regret taking his class as a GER, and even more so at 8 am because he gets pretty mad about people coming in a few minutes late. Hard tests and assignments.

I started his class hating it, all the "if A's then B's" were killing me. But after a few weeks it all changed and was very interesting, He's clear and to the point. Smartest guy I ever met. One movie assigned was awesome, the other was so so, but he gives you a week off class to do it, easy grader

Not an easy class, movies were boring, midterm was hard, but final was easier...basically gave you the questions for the final, all you had to look up the answers in the book. All and all a nice guy, VERY smart. Didn't like the class, but that wasnt his fault...blame BSC for all the damn GER's!

Although I was not too interested in the class, he made it interesting. His passion for subject matter really made the class much more appealing. Only 4 grades all sem, but as long as you try your best you will do well. His examples are helpful and often very funny. The class turned out to be alot better than I expected, just don't take it @ 8am!

I took him for several Philosophy classes and he is one of my favories. Helpful as long as you participate in class and cool about attendance as long as you provide a reason/do the homework and have it in on time.

very understanding teacher, and wants the class to do well. he does break down a hard subject into fairly simple terms(though the tests aren't). not a bad teacher at all.

We studied the matrix, the simpsons and some old movies. 4 units, 4 paper options but you only have to write 3 total. He genuinely wants the class to do well, some material is tricky but through a lot of discussion it helps to clarifty it. Very helpful, always available through e-mail, not a bad class.

good guy, puts it all on the table. test kinda shakey, but if you study your fine. only a midterm final and paper. but if you pay attention ask questions are a must...getting roughly a B!! do take

this guy is the man. he seems like a hardass at the beginning of the semester but he warms up. good for extra help, cool to talk to. the book sucked, but he knows everything so asking questions is a plus in that class. take this course... he's funny

Good class, goood teacher. He uses big words but if ur awake you can follow along just fine. Not much work.

Hes kind of a/an <explitive>. *naughty word. Or at least it seemed that way when you have him for an 8:00am class... Don't be late!!! However, I thought I was doing horrible all semester and it turns out I got a B range grade... Seems like a cool guy, just make sure you can be on time!

Hard class but if you participate in class, it may up your grade. Lots of info. and notes and lectures for the whole class. Overall good guy, if your willing to learn, he is willing to teach.

Best professor in the PL department! take him at least once! good way to end my stay at the college!

I had him for Pop Culture and Philosophy and I found it very interesting. He is a really nice guy. It was a speaking course so if you particapate in class and go to all of them then you can get a good grade.

Aeon (AY-ON) is extremely passionate about his work, and if you pay attention he easily will draw you in like a good movie. If you miss classes, or leave early, this will greatly offend him, but otherwise he is very reasonable. You must understand a dry sense of humor to fully appriciate him.

Dr. Skoble is probably the best lecturer the Philosophy department has. He manages his class very efficiently and knows the material extremely well. I recommend his classes to anyone.

Clear and helpful

skoble is great. i had him for plato and aristotle, and happiness and meaning. he's very clear and concise. he's a little intimidating but he's very nice and willing to help if you're confused.

Dr. Skoble is a very quirky man who loves both Plato and Aristotle far beyond the amount that any individual should, but it makes for a very entertaining class. He is extremely helpful and wants you to do well. His class is 'full of win.'

Ancient Greek Philosophy is one of Dr. Skoble's primary areas of interest. Watching him teach this class is like watching your favorite singer perform their biggest hit. He is all business in class, but not in a bad way. I would recommend this course to anyone with the slightest interest in Philosophy.

Philosophy of Film Noir may not sound exciting, but this guy makes it. He wrote many essays published in a book that you use for as text in class. He's really easy and the class is a really easy 1 credit colloquium. All we did was watch movies and discuss them. As for the 1 paper at the end, he walks with you through the entire process.

Dr. Skoble is honestly a very cool guy, and definitely brings his love of philosophy to work with him every day. As long as you do MOST of the reading you will ace his class. I took him for Plato and Aristotle and Philosophy of Law. Kind of guy you can call on his personal cell phone on a weekend cause you don't get something and he'll be stoked

This man loves philosophy. He's a great teacher. You definitely have to attend class and take notes on his lectures if you want an A. He stays on topic and speaks fast but he does repeat himself though, which is good for note taking. Hates noise, so class windows will be closed, which is tough if it's hot in the room.

Professor is very good. He loves what he does and cares about his students. Lectures can put you to sleep if you're not actively listening. Take notes and they will help you write his papers because you'll know exactly what he's looking for.

Prof. Skoble loves his job and it shows in his enthusiasm for the subject matter. Phil of Law was not the easiest material to grasp but he made it approachable. I took him again for ancient Phil. and I'm not a major. he grades fair so you get what you put in. If you don't actively engage the material and think about it, good luck.

Lectures are long but he makes it fun and interesting. I'd suggest him for anyone who cares about learning.

Honestly class is a snooze fest he lectures the whole time, you will probably fall asleep but one of the easiest A's. Really nice guy, knows what hes talking about, you will learn some stuff. He just needs to spice up his teaching style. Assigns alot of reading, noone ever does it and still gets an A. Everything is take home/openbook.

Too bad I'm graduating, Prof. Skoble is sa great professor, I'd re-do my major as Phil just to learn more from him.

Skoble is one of the crown jewels at Bridgewater State. He's an amazing off-the-cuff lecturer and knows his stuff. If you're not interested in philosophy, don't take his class. You have to have the passion for it to listen to someone talk without visuals. If you do like philosophy though - particularly the Greeks - he is THE MAN. Super witty too.

Professor Skoble is a great guy. i've taken two courses with him and got a B and an A-. He now uses powerpoint slides and doesn't give homework. just three exams, all multiple choice. usually 30-33 questions. The final is a mix of the first two exams so his lower level classes are easy A's now

Dr. Skoble is an excellent lecturer and works hard to ensure students are understanding the material and that it is engaging. He is very knowledgeable and answers questions very well. I found this course to be very interesting and his enthusiasm helped with that. He also has great ties.

Professor Skoble is a truly gifted lecturer, he can explain complex ideas extremely well, he has a great personality, and really cares about the material. If you don't enjoy philosophy don't take this class.

Skoble is one of my favorite profs in the Philosophy department, but I would only recommend his classes to Philosophy majors/minors. Have to pay attention in lecture and take clear notes if you want to pass the exams. He only grades on 2 exams and 2 quizzes which are all open response questions. I personally love his classes and learn a lot.
