Excellent teacher! Passionate, intense and very intelligent. Philosophy is not the easiest class but she makes it fun and I learned alot. Hard tests but she is not a fan of testing so we dropped two.lecture and debate style.
Yo son, this girl got mad flavor. She drops Socrates philosophy while lyrically performing armed robbery, but logically you should take any class this woman gives...the revolution will not be televised. But it will be brought in her class. Check it!
shes smart and passionate on what u learn. shes very helpful if u ask. tests r semi hard... not as much writing as i thought would be. i got a B
She's Awesome!! She is so interesting that in class its so silent you could hear a pin drop. I am so interested in philosophy now because of her.
1st couple of weeks were rough but got much better. She is very passionate about what she is teaching. I find myself looking at everyday life as if I am in her class all day. Test are hard, as in essay, 1st ones I ever took. Haven't taken the final yet, but should get at least a B out of the class.
Mrs.Whitworth makes the lectures incredibly intresting. You won't forget them. Her tests are usually difficult. I think Mrs. Whitworth was incredibly helpful and was very clear. Great teacher.
i love the way this woman thinks. she's so hot!!! if i were her husband i would never let her go! damn!
Very hard professor. She has the worst attitude. Do not take her if you want to pass. Trust me, this is coming form an Honor student.
I had this teacher fall 2004, I thought she was fantasic. Her lectures were very enthusiastic and fun. Her tests were easy as long as you studied your notes. The presentation is also easy. She is easy to please. Also you have to write one paper, nothing to cry over :) Brilliant Teacher.
she is perhaps one of the greatest profs at sac. Her lectures are the strongest i've heard. she will work hard to keep your attention. She will make you question the world regardless of your current position. she doesn't like tests, so she grades easily, and assignments are few, but important.
This woman is absolutely amazing! She is the best professor I have had so far in college. If you have no interest in philosophy before you take the class, you will LOVE it once you start. She is very passionate about this class, which makes everything fun and interesting. She is absolutely amazing!!! If you don't take this with her you're crazy!
Ms. Whitworth is one of the very best teachers that I have had at SAC. Most of my teachers have been good, but she was great. I took her in Spring 05. She would do anything she could to help you get a better grade. She would go out of her way to help you. wasn't thrilled with the subject before her class, but now the subject isn't so bad.
Good, solid professor. Be sure to be extremely thorough on your exams, which are essays, and you'll do fine. I'd take her again if I needed another philosophy credit. And, it's not a bad class to wake up to at 8 am, either.
Great Prof.If you never took on ethics class before you will learn alot from her.She takes alot of todays issues and plugs them in with philosophers that you will be studying.There is a term paper that you have to do and all of her test are essay.Make sure you explain the ethical theories of the philosphers and their arguements. Read & Study!!
Her teaching methods are not compatible to my learning style. I think her tests are a little stringent for an intro class, but she does explain this at the begnning of the class. She must reach others due to her high ranking here,but she didn't reach me. She is passionate about philosophy.
She is an amazing professor. I don't think I've enjoyed a class more than hers. Her passion for the subject is contagious. I've taken her for phil and ethics. You need to read and re-read but once she explains the material it makes sense. Take lots of notes and be very thorough on each exam.. learned a great deal about a subject I didn't care
Amazing, dedicated, compassionate, and KNOWS what she's teaching! I took her for BOTH ethics and philosphy, BECAUSE she's so good. Philosophy was the first class to actually make me feel like I was recieving a "higher" education. Mrs. Whitworth asks a LOT; and it's because she really wants you to get as much out of her course as possible. Everythin
is more than willing to answer any questions without making you feel like an idiot.
very passionate. wants you to learn. always willing to answer questions. its pure lecture so if you dont read and just go off the notes you'll want to have perfect attendance. she likes alot of detail in your essays.
VERY VERY VERY Passionate! Dosent make you feel like an idiot, is willing to answer questions. Attendance is required to pass. Take notes if you dont want to read too much into the book...
Amazing teacher. she is very helpful in making sure u understand what shes lecturing. i was nervous taking the class since i didnt do to well on the first two test but at the end i got a B in the course. lets u make-up 1 exam. theres also a 5pg paper due towards the end of sem but assigns on first day so plenty of time to do it i recommend her
Wonderful instructor. Course is not easy, but with a little studying you can pull it off. Final paper is an easy A if you start working on it early because she allows you to turn in rough drafts.
Professor Whitworth is an amazing woman. She radically helped shape a new way of thinking for me. I only wish I could take another class by her. Her tests are hard, but her lectures are worth it.
Really great teacher, Her lectures were great, I never had to read the book. Her tests are in essay form but you can pick what question you'd like to answer. I got 100's on most of the tests. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you want to get an A go to class every day for her lectures and take notes. I'd take her again.
Great professor! I have a new love for Philosophy. She assigns the term paper (30% of grade) on first day. Her tests are essay form but you get to choose which ones to answer. Her final is multiple choice: SO EASY when you have learned the material.
AMAZING PROF. absolutely loved her..i hated philosophy before her, she is an amazing professor, test are essay format, not soo hard just make sure you study. Term paper, 5pgs not so hard..TAKE NOTES thas what will be on the test RECOMEND HER!!!!
Excellent teacher; incredibly helpful
she is an amazing teacher. i love her! she is very intense and completely in love with what she does. and i appreciate how she has made me see everything so differently. listen, pay attention, and there is no doubt you wont learn from her.
Awesome teacher! Very Intelligent, always prepared. I love Philosophy now. A+
She is sooo smart and great and understandable. She made me love the subject. Three test, essay questions the 1st had multipul choice but 10 questions only. Term paper 5 pages long. But you have 3 months to do it. I got an A in the class!!!
I LOVE Prof Whitworth. I recommend her class to anyone. Attendance not mandatory but you should go because lectures are interesting and vital to really understand material. She gives full outlines of all material covered weekly. I didn't buy the book and still got an A. LOVE LOVE LOVER HER!!!
I RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A PHILOSOPHY CREDIT. SHE NEVER TOOK ATTENDANCE, LECTURED ALL CLASS PERIOD, AND GAVE AMAZING NOTES WEEKLY ON PALS. ASSIGNED READING IS VERY IMPORTANT, HOWEVER IF YOU AT LEAST STUDY HER NOTES YOU'LL DO FINE. ALTHOUGH SHE DOES APPRECIATE IT WHEN YOU DO READ THE TEXT AND INTERACT DURING CLASS. GREAT CLASS!
this prof. was awsome she would help you any time and will do anything to help you. you dont really have to study just read her lecture notes. her test are short answer but she dose not grade hard, if i could i would so talk her again.
She is an amazing teacher she really explains things and then breaks them down to real world situations to help you understand how to look at things from a ethical stand point she is helpful & her study guides are very helpful, make sure to study and participate in class you get 10pts on tests for participating! You will use your brain to the max!
awesome teacher!! studying is a must. tests are hard but just study hard and read and ask for her online class notes. she gave us the notes she uses for her online classes, she said it wasn't fair that they get them and not us. very interesting! she jumped up on top of her desk and started screaming a few times, very interesting class!!!
She is a really good teacher. Gives you examples about what she is teaching. Lecture notes are helpful and the tests are based on the notes. Recommend this teacher. She helps you alot and tells you that whenever you need any help, just make an appt. and helps you understand alot easier
Really helpful. Tests are based on the notes that she gives you. Whenever you don't understand something, she will tell you, and makes it a lot more easier to understand.
Great teacher! Great class! She tells you how to get an A in the class. Follow her instructions and you got it in the bag!
Well you have to follow the directions in this course. If I werer to do it again, I would take her class in the classroom and not online. I bombed the first two exams, but after that she graded on a curve and I passed the course. I should have recieved an A if I paid attention to detail on the notes. Study the Notes!!!Great Proffesor.
Top-notch teacher! I had her online. It was a tough course; she expected you to work hard, but she was amazingly helpful. She truly wants you to learn and do well. I was thrilled that she not only said that my term paper was well-written, but that she also enjoyed reading it. I'd take her again in a heartbeat.
Tests are really hard, I mean I don't expect it to be that easy but they're pretty tough. Lectures are BORING. At first, thought she was really nice but now she's showing her true colors. Would NOT recommend.
Best Professor I have had by far! You can tell she absolutely loves what she does. She preaches ethics, not 'lectures' which makes it interesting! She will put things in simplest terms for everyone to understand. AWESOME CLASS! Test are written format and easy! She posts Lecture notes for each theory on ACES! Read those and Pass! I have an A+
Professor Whitworth is the best teacher i've had, period. She responds quickly and in a friendly nature. Her tests are STRAIGHT from her lectures. Her term paper has a million options so you can pick something you like. I would take her in every class, forever if I could. Highly recommended to any philosophy lovers.
Ms. Whitworth is very helpful and makes the class very interesting. There are three exams and the final, if you pass all the exams you don't have to take the final and provides extra credit. There is also a term paper due but its not hard. She listens and answers questions in a timely manner, would highly recommend her.
good prof-all other positive posts are right
Ms. Whitworth is the BEST! She makes class fun and interesting even if you're not interested at all in philosophy. Her tests aren't hard if you attend every class... they all come right out from her lectures. She tells you what you should know for each philosopher and makes class fun and easy. Great professor overall, take her, you won't regret! :D
Very AWESOME teacher! I miss her class so much. She really encourages you to think for yourself AND her teaching methods are entertaining. I was never bored in her class and had absolutely no interest in the subject. Her tests are all essay but are easier than it sounds if you get in a study group. Use her online notes to study for the tests.
The best instructor ever!!!! She is very helpful there is no reason anyone should not make an A in her class. Alot of studing but over all amazing professor!!!!!
This teacher loves her subject and loves to get people involved in debates to make them think for themselves and question society. Would take her again for sure!
Tests are really hard, she wants you to be exact on your long essay answers as they are not multiple choice. She does although give you her notes online to look at and study with, but even then it doesn't seem to help much. She does give out a term paper which is pretty tough as well, and makes you talk in front of the class a few times as well.
I absolutely love her as a teacher! She puts all of her notes online in case you aren't in class and as long as you take the time to write out answers on the review, the tests are a piece of cake. She is also very fast as returning tests and quizzes and always available to help if needed. I got a 96 in the class and I didn't have to take the final.
She's great! She talks about Harry Potter which makes her awesome in my eyes. but anyways, she is a really nice lady. when she is talking about certain philosophers she pretends that she is them, so if we ask questions, she answers as if she were Plato or Socrates. She helps a lot, I am taking her for summer intro to ethics.
Teacher is awesome. I'm taking her for summer I and she is very helpful. Responds to e-mails quickly. Wouldn't have asked for a better teacher. knowledgeable.I would definitely enroll in another class taught by her.
Awesome teacher! Was not interested in taking this class at all but it was a Req. Took it online. As long as you read your chapters and her lecture notes you will do great! Turned out to be an interesting class afterall!
She is great! easy and explains everything clear like crystal. She makes class fun and interesting, I never thought I would be interested in this class but she is AMAZING. You won't regret taking her at all.
Fun, outgoing, interesting and helpful... all the things you want in a teacher. Took it for summer because I thought it would be something I'd never want to invest time in and now I'm reading philosophy books during my free time. She reviews what you need to know for the test so show up to class and you'll get an A. She is happy to talk out of clas
I really like her. She's a wonderful teacher and a really great person. Don't really need the book, everything is online and it's rarely used in class. Just take notes and study and you'll pass. The tests were the hardest part of this class. I would take again!
Take this professor you will learn alot. Her quizes are easy and the exams are little hard so study. I definetly recommend this teacher great lectures.
very good very excellent teacher i got an a in her class. I would take her again. also she is very fun to listen to.
The class was easy if you payed attention in the lectures and took notes, it was also helpful that she typed up her lectures and made them available to the students, they are helpful for the test given, her tests are over pretty much what is covered in class and her lecture notes; her lecture method got me a little bit but it was good over all.
This is a very professional and excellent teacher. She is clear and concise in her lectures. She brings the philosophers to life.She is passionate about the subject as well as instructing the students. If you leave the classroom after the semester unfullfilled then shame on you.This professor exceeds all expectations.
TAKE HER CLASS! She is so interesting with her lectures and caught my 100% attention. She made me apsolutely love philosophy! It is writing intensive but just know what you're talking about and she grades easy on you. Most 2 pages long. Test are not hard if you pay attention and keep up with the reading. She is GREAT and so HELPFUL!
Her teaching methods are great I totally recommend her ! Her test are not difficult since they come straight from her lecture notes which are pretty helpful :)
Her tests were impossible, did not make sense, were basically trick questions. No one passed the tests and if they did it wasnt with an a or b. No reviews for tests either. Papers and discussions were easy but if you already have trouble with exams DO NOT TAKE HER!!!
Amy is accessible, professional, courteous, passionate, fun, tough, and very interested in her students. She genuinely cares about you and your progress. She encourages class discussions.
I took the online course & The teacher was a nice lady. She responds to emails quickly & is willing to help. HOWEVER her exams were impossible. Dont believe these other people that tell you she is great & easy so take her. NO even with 100 on everything else I still only passed with a c :(
This lady is nice and answered my emails very quick but her exams were impossible!!! i worked soo hard and I got a B... not extra time or credit for something. I took her class becuase of the reviews but i have no idea how they can say shes eassy. the hardest online class ever!!!!
One of the best professors I've had at SAC. Doesn't use the textbook, i never studied because her lectures were that amazing and got all the info across and were very interesting. Made a 98 in the class and all i did for the exams was look over the material the night before.
Excellent professor. Very responsive and helpful. Communicates quickly and well. Took online course. Tests aren't super easy, but very doable if you study and really understand the material.
Took her online class and got a low grade after working so hard for it. Her test are just so tricky and impossible!! I would not take her!!
I LOVED DR. WHITWORTH!! HER LECTURES ARE AMAZING AND ACTUALLY MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY. SHE IS VERY SWEET AND HER TEST ARE EASY AS LONG AS YOU STUDY THE REVIEWS. I RECOMMEND THIS CLASS. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Prof Whitworth is a great teacher. I took her course online during the summer and found that she made everything simple for us. There were not too many assignments, especially for the shortened summer term. If she taught another class I needed, I would definitely take her again.
Took her course in the summer. Her lectures are very interesting. I enjoyed going to her class. Her tests were all written exams, which aren't hard as long as you go to class and prepare what you are going to write. Would recommend for anyone wanting an A in philosophy.
Professor Whitworth is an awesome teacher, she is very very helpful her lecture notes are pretty much all you need for the test. The essay test were easy to me personally, However, DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE TEST, they are a bit challenging... but overall she is interesting and funny and I loved her!
By far one of the greatest teachers I've had in a long time. Dr. Whitworth is very knowledgeable in this field. She puts herself into the philosopher's shoes of the day. We had 3 papers to write and 3 exams, which are open note. She stays after class to help clarify anything students weren't sure about. Great instructor!
Mrs. Whitworth is great teacher. Her method teaching is unique in college. She has extra credit, note, online test (open book).Her tests are not easy if you DO NOT STUDY! I took two classes with her and I passed with A.
I wouldn't say the course was hard, but don't think you can just kick back and breeze through it. Her tests are a bit frightening, but I took her Intro class online and made sure to have my notes by my side when testing. The short essays we wrote were very easy and the term paper was easy as well.
Mrs Witworth is an awesome teacher. Doesn't require you to come to class but it is helpful to get her power point notes. Her tests are open note but extremely difficult! She makes this class very interesting! I would def recommend her!
Dr. Whitworth is an indredible teacher. She makes the class very interesting and at times is a little funny. She puts herself into the character of the philosopher of the day and helps you understand their theories. I enjoyed the writing assignments and group activites. If you review the powerpoint notes from class there is no reason to fail!
Dr Whitworth is an awesome professor She puts herself in that character of the philosophers and makes sure all answers are answered so that you understand The group assignments essays and term paper are all very easy and well explained Her tests are slightly difficult but I aced all of them Highly recommend her
Amy is an easy teacher! you don't really need the textbook. i never read it. you have three exams, three article reaction papers, and one 5 page term paper through out the whole semester. don't be scared, she grades easy. i passed her class with an A! take her, you won't regret it!
Whitworth was one of the best instructors I've had my whole educational career! Very knowledgable in the the subject of philosophy. She engages each and every students intuitiveness and ensure Everyone understands the concepts before she switches to a new topic. TAKE HER COURSE!!!
Excellent teacher! Took as a flex and the entire class consisted of 3 papers, 3 tests and a final exam. Never asked questions about stories she asked to read so no need to buy book. Easy A as long as you get your work turned in on time!
Took this class as a summer flex so it was 16 weeks worth of material squeezed into 5 weeks! Lots of reading since I did take online. 3 research articles, 3 exams, and your 1 final exam. Easy class to pass as long as you do your work & turn it in on time! Would definitely recommend her.
I took her 8 week online course. She sends weekly updates and allows one makeup assignment if missed. Readings are lengthy, discussion boards and article papers (500-700 words) over two modules each and are due fridays at 8am. There are 4 exams and a final. Everything has a due date but its not an overload on work
First online class I have taken and so glad I got Dr. Whitworth! She is amazing. 7-week class. You post to discussion board every other week after reading several ethical issues (you choose what you write about). On other weeks there is an exam and paper due. Heavy reading but she gives you study guide for exams. Do it 100% for good grade.
She's an amazing professor! She truly loves her job, she gets into the skin of the philosophers and explains exactly what they thought. Her exams are hard but we always have a review a class day before. She helps you get the grade you want in this class, you just have to talk to her and she can help.
I took Professor Whitworth for her Maymester PHIL 2306 class. She's very helpful and gives plenty of feedback. There was quite a bit of reading every day, but her lectures cover everything you need to ace the exams. She also didn't assign work on the weekends, so that's another plus. Definitely choose her class if you can.
Dr. Whitworths class was amazing, it wasnt too hard to handle. I took the flex 1 semester and we have four exams total, a few discussion boards that didnt have to be any particular length nor did you have to respond to someone, and 3 reaction papers that have to be 500-700 words each. Overall, Id say this class is pretty easy compared to others
Although I enjoyed the course, there was A LOT of reading. I took this course as an 8-week flex course and I would advise others against it. Tests have very many trick questions where there may be a two-part idea with only 1 part available in a multiple choice format with a D None of the above. If you do not choose D it is counted wrong.
I took her ethics 1301 class as a flex 8 week course and would definitely recommend her! There are discussions, 3 papers to write (500-700 words) but it is all doable. The tests can be tricky but if you pull up one tab with the lesson and use it for the test, you can find the answers.
I would definitely take Professor Whitworth again. I came into Philosophy not being too excited because it sounded boring, but her lectures were engaging and made you think about the material she was discussing. I haven't had too many classes where I am going "wow" every ten seconds. She is truly passionate about the content and that's always good.
I took her class through zoom and it was super relaxed. As long as you do your assignments, you can get an easy A. She is very receptive and enjoys class discussions and there were only 3 large assignments and 3 exams. Overall simple class.
Even though it was totally online, Prof Whitworth responded quickly to emails. Her written lectures were easy to read, she posted the study guides up front to help prepare for exams. Her written essay requirements were easy to write about and he graded easy and without judgment. I would definitely recommend her!
Took her online class. Assignments and tests were easy except the final exam.
Took this course as a Flex class. Although there was a lot of reading involve the discussions (4) and reaction papers (3) were short and simple. Exam reviews were provided and test were open notes. Professor was available if needed and provided great feedback.
Dr. Whitworth is a clear & concise teacher. I took Philo1301 as a Maymester course & was a bit worried about the accelerated timeframe however Dr. Whitworth provided condensed & precise lecture notes that made the course format very easy. I would 100% take her again and 5/5 recommend taking her if you have the opportunity.
Everything is in the lectures! Good luck!
The material for this course was very simple and straightforward. There were assignments called "Article Reaction Papers" every so often which she does not give 100s on. If you are okay with getting 98s on your essays, she's great.
Amazing professor, quizzes are very easy when you pay attention to the lectures. I took her PHIL into to Ethics and she had PowerPoints of the lecture to review at home but being in class is mandatory. Occasional group projects and article reaction papers but very easy to get A's on. You can tell she is very passionate, I am taking her class again.
She is a good professor. The lectures she writes are very informative and will more or less have all the information you need for the exams and quizzes. Relatively easy class; I suggest taking her, and who knows, you might end up liking philosophy; I know I did.
Honestly, the best philosophy teacher I have ever had. I wasn't sure if I was going to like philosophy, but she made it impossible not to. She is passionate about her field and caring towards her students. There is no way you can fail her class.
She is a good teacher. Not very lenient on her grading or makeup work. LOTS of reading.
I took this course as a Flex II and it was easy to manage along side my other courses. It was mainly 3 essays, 3 exams and I want to say 2-3 discussion boards which were very easy and detailed. The topics were very interesting and she gave notes for each module + powerpoint + other resources, which were very helpful. 10/10 recommend.
Im currently taking Ms.Whitworth as of Oct 2023, and let me tell you.. shes such a great teacher! hilarious too by the way. Its mainly nothing but reading assignments but trust me there not hard at all! i didnt know nothing about this course when i signed up for it but after having this teacher she made me love it. 10.10 recommend!
Dr. Whitworth is AMAZING!!!. She asks so many questions that make you really think and question why you think what you do. While having not 1 but 2 PhD's in Philosophy, Dr. Whitworth is a PROFESSIONAL devils advocate. She is an amazing professor that will make sure you are okay outside of class. SIGN UP FOR A CLASS WITH HER RIGHT NOW!!!
Professor Whitworth makes this class manageable, even in the accelerated Flex format. With helpful lecture notes, practice exams, and useful online resources like unstuckstudy, I was able to do well. Not too difficult, with a good mix of assignments. Recommend taking this class.
Took this online and it was an easy A. The tests were open book and there was not that many assignments. About 1 discussion post every two weeks, 5 total (which was answering one question). Then article reaction papers about once a month, 3 total, that were easily graded as well.
