Take him! The reading material can be trying at times, but Pavelich has a way of making the lessons interesting and enjoyable. He also has a good sense of humor! The assignments aren't bad - several short papers. Almost wish I had to take more Philosophy

A lot of reading and typing papers in his class. I enjoyed his discussions very much. If i had the time, i would take him again.

Cool dude.

Not for the student's looking for an easy ride...bottom line, he's fair! Has a great sense of humor and he makes the course enjoyable.

Highly recommended! This is a class that requires your attention/effort and lots of reading and writing. Not easy but very worthwhile; I think you'll love the class. Dr. Pavelich is fantastic and skillful. You'll wanna take him for all your PHIL classes!

Awesome teacher! He is very helpful and the class is challanging!

Great instructor who lays it down like it is. Has a great ability to steer the class to the right conclusions concerning the topic. Likes his cat and cupcakes. Ask him about the Murtle and magic pennies.

Very, very good. Knows what he's talking about, and is very helpful. Very writing intensive, though.

Fantastic professor. Great sense of humor, very knowledgable. I'm a senior this year, and he is one of the top 3 professors I've ever had.

Great Professor. The papers are many but if you do the reading they are very easy.

he really does do a great job at making your mind work!! great teacher!!! lots of papers though

fair teacher that forces u to expand ur mind and look at things a different way, lot of work but worth the time.

Excellent instructor; makes the subject matter very accessible. Teaching style laid back, respectful, but lots of fun. Makes students think about things in new ways, broadening their viewpoints. Actually made Plato's 'Phaedo' fun! Go figure! Thanks!!

Andrew is a very cool instructor he is very understanding but if you don’t have to take Logic don’t stress yourself out. Logic is a very difficult class and I highly recommend you take something else if you have that option. But he is VERY cool!!!!!!

Great teacher, really fun to take. Logic is not too bad, BUT homework grade was 50% of total. So if you are like me and usually get A's, but never do homework...it'll hurt ya here. If, on the other hand, you have a harder time grasping the material, but do the homework..it can help a lot too.

fair teacher, a little wierd but well rounded

This is my second course with Dr Pavelich, and both have been fantastic. He's a highly intelligent professor, and a fantastic speaker. He makes seemingly strange modern phil theories and makes them easily relatable and relevent. Nice, funny, and an all around quality person. Highly reccomended.

Love his classes. I've taken three of his courses and would take more if I could. The philosophy classes have about 1 paper a week but they are not difficult so don't drop the class for that reason. If you like logic, arguments, or math you'll think his logic class is awesome, if not stick to his other courses. Best professor I've had.

Great teacher, brilliant, very eager to teach anyone who's ready to listen. He makes the class quick to pass, good sense of humor, lax policy on attendance. He expects you to read and turn in good papers after listening to what he has to say, but if you li

his class is good. I find myself a bit lost at times, but he really tries to help you undestand the point. He is really good looking too!

very easy. This prof teaches morals for everyman/everywoman. Likely to present new perspectives on issues you thought you had already decided. recommended for every student

so didja consider that maybe there is substance to support the attitude? Actually I don't think there is an attitude, except among students who really don't wanna be in the courses. He really makes these classes accessible for even the lowest level of college student. If I had to complain, that would be my one criticism.

He makes this course so simple and accessible it is a crime. However, he brings a fun and attitude to it. If you ever gave any thought to taking a logic course, this is it, take it. If you are looking for something more advanced like symbolic logic he teaches that as a separate course.

Great Class. I never read anything in the book, I wrote my papers from what he said in class. He stays at your level and never goes above you intellectually. Keep In mind all the papers (exams) are all take home. If you’re a bad writer you might not want to take this class. Excellent professor. Highly recommended by a slackers such as myself.

I concur with the person below, He is a very strange person. He looks like David letterman with blond hair. Great class. All take home essays. His final was easy as well. Just be sure to take good notes in class and you will bang an a or b. Also note he does not take attendance let alone care if you show up *insider tip here*

This class was hard, and I am an A student. He dosen't take attendance but if you miss a class, then you are lost. I do not recommend this class to those who just are taking this as an elective. You really have to work hard to get a decent grade. He is really nice though, and I would recommend any other classes that he teaches.

Andrew is a strange guy. However, if you are a person like me then you like strange people. Phi of Religion was a great class. We had to write 7 1 page single space papers throught the semester. The midterm and final are also take home papers. If you like multiple choice exams and hate writing, then this is not the class for you.

this professor is a little hard to figure in the beginning, but if you keep up with the reading and actually do show up for class, you'll find it him interesting and the material thought provoking. good choice of both professor and class.

Weird Dude, Good Teacher. Really knows philosophy and can make you understand it! *Hints* He dosen't take role but if you miss the lectures you WILL FALL BEHIND. **HINT** If he's done teaching his lesson plan before the end of class, you get out early.

TAKE HIM!!! He's an AMAZING teacher! He's sarcastic & funny (both in wit & in looks, haha) but very open-minded. Took him for ethics, rel, & modern. All hilarious. Takes a special type to tie stoner munchies into a debate on God's existence :) All take-home essay tests, easy enough if you follow prompts & read at least some of the assigned readings

Dr. Pavelich is a very good professor. I loved taking his class, though it was very hard of me to let my religion go and look at it through the eyes of others I really loved waht he taught me in this class as a matter of fact he opened my heart up to see that yes there is a common bond between all religions, We all agree God is real.

Dude was cool

HE'S SOOOOOO FUNNY! I LIKE THE WAY HE TEACHES. HE'S COOL, KEEPS IT SIMPLE. I ENJOYED HIS LECTURES VERY MUCH AND WOULDN'T MIND TAKING HIM AGAIN.

His is a very unussual guy, but pleasant. He knows his subject material. Gives very easy quiz and test. His sense of humor is honorable. Take his class and be ready for a great enlightenment of religion, morals, terrorism and essay writing. You will enjoy the class and learn much.This class will help you to understand other religions as well.

Class was OK. Teh books were hard and sometimes the prof didnt respect students believes. still it was good to see that other people still believe in God

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE this professor!!! one of the best i have taken....he is very persuasive in all his lectures in order to get you to debate with him. I was challanged to broden my way of thinking. Got an A on lmost all my papers. Just do the reading (very interesting) type the papers and you will do FINE!

he is an ok teacher. takes his grading way too serious. but he has a passion for philosophy and it shows. very good teacher but is just so hard on grading.

This was an interesting class, but designed for those who love writting!

Amazing Instructor! You must read the text to keep up, but if you come to class, he explains everything. Very interesting course if you are interested at all in religion. Open-mindedness is required. Tests are in the form of take home essays. Term paper due at end of semester. Take his class. You'll be glad you did.

This class was awesome. It's an advanced course, so it takes some work, but it was worth it! Highly recommend this prof.!

This class was awesome! Its a high-level class, and so takes some work, but its worth it. Highly recommend this prof!

I have taken both religion class with the professor and I think the class where extremely interesting! you have 1 term 10 page paper of your choice and quiz which are no brainers or assignments which are one page papers. Alot of writting and reading.. but come on its College! GET WITH IT LAZY! If you like the changelle take it its easy.

Exc cl/instr! Very ent cl & exc @stayin on topic, when "r-wing christ" attempt to argue!

Fun professor who makes you think beyond your self-imposed limits. He's not a spoon feeder and expects you to be an adult - read the textbook assignments before class and think about the subject matter beyond the classroom. If you don't, you're likely to be bored or confused. If you stay engaged in the subject matter, you'll love this class!!

Great teacher. Smart, witty, and knows his stuff. Take lots of notes and go to him for help during office hours. It is important you attend every class if you are not good with Logic.

This teacher is very smart and helpful. Makes logic actually fun.

He is timely and stright to the point. Attendance is not required, however you will do better if you don't miss. He will help you prior to the test during his office hours. The content is boring but he makes it interesting. Great teacher and knows what he teaches. Returns your tests promtly. Don't buy the books.

This professor makes you think beyond your self-imposed limits. He expects you to be an adult - Do all the assignments, he goes over after handed in class,helps if you have any questions during office hours.Attendance not required but it helps you.If you stay engaged in the subject matter, you'll love this class!!

Great professor. Knows his stuff and is really helpful. Makes class interesting and is always available for help. Do the reading and write the papers and you are all set.

Great teacher. Presents information in an easy to comprehend fashion. Do the homework it counts as 40% of your grade. Study the examples and the few formulas and you will be OK.

he really is one of the best teachers i have taken. his class is easy. we only have 3 exams. attendance is not mandatory . if you want to pass just read the book and take notes if you go to class. the notes are basically reviewing the reading of the book. he is a really nnice professor. he lets you speak up in class and you do not get bored

He does not take attendance but the tests are largely over lecture notes, so miss at your own risk. Tests are all short answer essays (pick 7 out of 8 questions). Not crazy difficult Q's but b careful to read questions VERY well! Total grade is over 3 tests (incl. Final) for whole semester! His lectures r interesting & discussion is always encouraged, so class is usually quite interesting!

Took this prof for World Religions. He always has something interesting to say, although he usually offends the entire class in a hilarious manner. I would take more classes with him if I had the chance.

This class was really fun, the discussions in class were always varied, entertaining, and sometimes scandalous. Always a laugh and the tests, as long as you read carefully are not difficult if you pay attention and take notes in class. I would definitely recommend this professor.

OMG - I was not looking forward to taking Logic. But DR. Pavelich eased my nerves on day one. He is funny and tries to make sure everyone understands the material. Never thought I would say this, but if they had offered symbolic Logic this semester I would have signed up fo, ust because DR Pavelich is so awesome. BY FAR THE BEST UHD HAS TO OFFER!

Dr. Pavelich is kind of weird, but so entertaining and brilliant. I would recommend everyone take this professor.

He'll make you work for an A, but if you come to class and pay attention, and put some effort into the papers, you will definitely learn a lot. I totally recommend this professor.

Pavelich was my best professor this semester. He has the perfect blend of what every professor needs to teach successfully. He is well mannered, crystal clear on the material, intellectual, quick to respond to emails, and has just the right amount of comedy (course related) in his lectures to keep the class engaged and attentive the whole time.

Seriously one of my favorite classes. Don't let his 5 pg paper assignments intimidate you - they aren't difficult and his lectures are very helpful. He is a great teacher, clear expectations, passionate about the subject and very engaging in class participation (although not part of your grade). A really really wonderful teacher! Thanks Dr. P!

UHD Phil Grad here. Pavelich taught me symbolic logic, Modern Phil, philosophy of God, and much more. What a great experience. He is quick witted and has full grasp of the material, which he imparts skillfully to the class. The reading and the assignments are all manageable. He will guide you if you need some prompting. I recommend him big time.

Love, Love Professor Pavelich. I'm not even a Philosophy major but it was my favorite class of the semester. This not being my field, I found myself lost at times but he explains things in several different ways so you can understand. He is hilarious and keeps the class very interesting! Definitely take his class if you can.

He does make you awake by throwing jokes. I find books not fun to read but if you come to class he clarifies concept step by step. There were three essays-two & half single spaced- and that' all the work we had to do. I know I am not a good writer, I knew my talent from childhood but I think his essays were not bad for me. To be continued.

Professor Pavelich is an amazing professor. His lectures are consistently interesting and insightful. The papers are easy. Come to class... get an A. His lectures are great, he's a funny guy.

Dr. Pavelich is an awesome teacher. He is quick witted and his classes are not boring. If you show up and stay on top of things you will make an A. I actually missed a test, made it up and still pulled a B. Not a class for slouches, but he made logic easy to grasp.

Took for "The meaning of Life". Very good professor. Hilarious. REQUIRES TEXTBOOK! Take lots of notes in class from day one! Assigns 5 essays, 5 pages each. Only grades 4 of 5. Essays mainly about textbook content. Easy class. Would definitely take prof or class again.

The lectures are engaging and participation is encouraged. Attendance is not mandatory; however if you want to do well on the papers, it is recommended. Papers only. Grade is based on best four out of five. He will review your drafts - take advantage as this helps immensely!

If Dr. Pavelich ever left UHD, I don't think the philosophy department would be the same. He offers very honest, down-to-earth experience in his classrooms that not only make the subject matter interesting, but easy to swallow and interpret. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Dr. Pavelich and I am actually pretty upset that I didn't take him sooner.

Dr. Pavelich is a great professor. He made me think about switching my major. He also inspired me to think about getting my PhD. He is understanding, a fair grader, and his lectures are amazing. I would love to take him again but i dont think he teaches Philosophy of Gender. 10/10 would take again. Be prepared to write papers, good papers.

Dr. Pavelich is a great professor. He is easy going and loves what he is doing. If you read and pay attention to the lectures you will make a decent grade. His lectures are really interesting. If you haven't already, think about becoming a philosophy minor. It literally only takes 5 classes and it includes the ones you take for your core.

He is a great prof. As a teacher now, I have modeled some techniques after him. He is an awesome and inspirational professor. He is witty but will will expect you to put in work. What you put in is what you will get out of it. Yes, he does have papers but within in a class where you will think, you will have to show you understand by writing.

He makes any subject fun! I have taken him for a few classes and he makes them very interesting. I would take him every class if it were possible. He is a great advisor and always available after class (if time permits)

Great professor! Loved his lectures. Includes his students in his lectures. If you come to class and take notes you will pass. he makes class super interesting. he is good at his profession. dry humor but its ok

Funny, engaging, answers any question. Super helpful if you put in effort. Great advisor if you're a major. A lot of reading (interesting topics), 5 papers that are 5 pages but he grades fairly & drops lowest one. Replies to emails promptly & I wish I could take him for more classes. It felt like more of a history of religions, but still enjoyable

I've taken professor Pavelich a few times before this class. He is a great professor and I was really looking forward to this class, Philosophy of Death. He did not disappoint, it was very interesting and fun. I recommend him to anyone looking for a philosophy class. If you have a hard time understanding the readings, his lectures will help a lot.

Great professor! His lectures are fun and not boring at all. I took philosophy of death during the summer and I thought it was going to be a boring and awful class Dr. Pavelich kept the class interesting and the readings were not long or difficult to read. Attendance is not mandatory but if you want A, go to class and take good notes.

Took Professor Pavelich in a summer course and was a very interesting class. As it was a 5 week course, we did have essays due every week, but with writing effectively, explaining the concept, and good feedback, you can do well in this course. It is kind of stressful knowing that a whole semester is put in 5 weeks, but learned a lot!

Great class. Four books, four papers, but only 5 pages and pretty easy if you pay attention to the lectures. Always willing to answer questions. Really smart guy.

Great professor. I wanted more feedback on papers and for the instructor to be more specific about what is expected on papers but other than that he explained the books well and made the material interesting and funny. It was a challenging course but you will learn a lot. There were also opportunities for extra credit.

He is upfront with everything

Pavelich is a cool guy, he is flexible and willing to work with you to an extent. Lectures aren't mandatory but they will definitely help in the long run when it's time to write your paper. 4 papers totals. Lots of books

Amazing! Great professor, person, and great hair! Read three or four books, wrote papers on them which our grade was based on. Glade I waited to take this class with him. He prefers hard copies for our papers so he can make it up with a pen and provide feedback. Gives his version of extra credit.

Great professor. Highly recommend.

This was the portfolio class. It consisted of one paper and submitting papers from other classes. You have to pass this class to graduate. He is an amazing professor.

He was insightful and dedicated to our learning. Wonderful educator. Great with metaphors and conceptualization. Well-read.

One of the best philosophy professors at UHD. I throughly loved his class, and everything we learned. I think it's the first time I've taken a course and come out with actual working knowledge of a subject that I can debate and argue with others. Very insightful and will definitely work with you to pass and excell in the course.

He's passionate about philosophy, funny & engages with the class. You'll have to read 4 books (one of them is an article online) and write papers. No exams, quizzes, or any type of presentation. Turn in papers on time to get full credit. I only passed with a C because the subject itself is rather difficult. Keep up with the readings & lectures.

This class was excellent this is one of the few classes I always look forward to. Even though we had to read 2 chapters of the assigned book he explained them in an interesting and clear way. Keep in mind that this class talk about all kinds of philosophers including atheist so if your religious prepare to hear opposite viewpoints.

Dont know what the last person was thinking. Papers were pretty easy just think about things and write. A great class!

He has a really nice personality and is very approachable. The course itself is very interesting and even though I am not a philosophy major, I would strongly consider taking another course that he is teaching. Very straightforward with grading & you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. Great professor.

Good all around

Took him for PHIL2305 in Summer 1 and it wasn't bad four 4-5 page papers. 1 due each week. 2 discussions each week. Sounds like alot but it wasn't. The papers are opinion based so it's easy to elaborate on each topic. There is no right or wrong answer. Quote each author he goes over at least once and PROOFREAD your paper and you'll get an A or B

Dr. Pavelich is a great professor, a reality I nearly didn't discover thanks to some of the feedback on here. You do have a paper every week in summer, he is really understanding as long as you're trying. I turned in two papers that were poorly proofed and still got 4/4 on them because the effort was on point. He's funny, he's kind, and I learned.

This class is very easy only 3 papers. You do not need to purchase a book. He's super sweet and caring and very chill. I took his class fact to face and another class of his online and both were only 3papers which were easy. if you're looking to learn something and get an easy A enroll in his classes.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Took him for summer 2, I was dreading this class at first but ended up loving it! 2 weekly blogs only few sentences long, four 4-5 page papers which were graded easy, didn't make lower than a B+ on the papers. Strongly recommend taking this professor if you want a caring and chill teacher. He also offers extra credit!

Professor Pavelich is the best professor you will take! If you need to take a philosophy class, TAKE HIM! 4 papers that are 4-5 pages & the final reflection paper. It's a very easy class because he provides very short video lectures which are very helpful to do the papers. He's an easy grader. You won't regret it.

GREAT PROFESSOR, CLASS WAS AN EASY A. TOOK HIM IN SPRING 2020. CARING GREAT FEEDBACK ON HOW TO IMPROVE.

Dr. Pavelich is an amazing professor. Did not have Synchronous classes with him, but I wish I did! His lectures are amazing, discussions are really captivating, essays are well assigned. No test. Communication with Pavelich was exceptional! Very knowledgable about Philosophy and kept the class interesting. Would highly recommend him :D

Communication with Pavelich was exceptional! Very knowledgable about Philosophy and kept the class interesting. Would highly recommend him

I took Metaphysics last fall. The reading was difficult to fully comprehend but re-reading the material, watching his lectures, and looking up online supplemental material helped. The structure of the class itself is simple: do the reading, watch his lectures, do the discussion post for the week, and then write the major essay. Recommended!

Took for a 5 week course. Two mandatory posts per week. Lots of reading, but he does review material (which I found very helpful). Four page essay due every Monday. Great professor, very interesting subject, grades from a neutral point of view. Def. recommend!

Class was great for an online class. Papers every week but grading was fair. Very caring when I had medical problems gave me extensions on the papers.

Took philosophy of death over the summer. It was an intense class but i learned a lot. Would definitely take more classes with Prof. Pavelich if I wasn't graduating.

This class was really eye-opening. There were so many issues that I thought I had thought about, but Prof. Pavelich showed us so many more perspectives. It was a mind-expanding experience - highly recommended.

I took this class summer 5wk session online and it was manageable, clear grading, the topics are current to what is going on now. He provides readings but he makes videos and goes over the highlights of the readings. No tests, 2 discussion posts a week. If you try you will pass and do the assignments. Highly recommend!! Everything is on blackboard.

5 week course that had a different topic each week (Moral Theory, animal rights, abortion, guns, and immigration). We read articles from two different philosophers each week. Mandatory 2 blog response each week and a 4-5 paper at the end of each week. No book needed. I would take him again as he wasn't hard at all.

I took the summer course for this class and it was structured very well. I felt like I had plenty of time to watch the lectures and do the assignments. He does a great job explaining the readings clearly. There will be a lot of writing, but as long as you watch the lectures and take time to think about the topic, you will be prepared.

GREATEST prof I've ever taken in my whole college career. Prof Pavelich has a passion for what he teaches, and it really shows. Very easy class to maintain, you could knock out all the material in a day for the week. Papers are graded easily. Textbook is free. everyone should take this class, you really do gain a different outlook on life.

I think Dr. Pavelich is a really great professor; I can see he enjoys teaching his subject. His class is pretty easy and it is easy to understand the assignments. This class does have many assignments but it is easy to keep up.

Man, I wish more teachers could be like Professor Pavelich. He turned a class I took as a credit into something I was genuinely interested in. He never condescended, even when explaining complex ideas to an otherwise ignorant audience, his grading was clear and fair, and he was constantly updating us on coursework and the direction of the class

His lectures are amazing. there are 6 writings, almost all lectures comes w/2 readings, 2 discussions, 2 quizzes and one question on flip. Have track of everything cause you can missed assignments. Quizzes are only 2 questions but some of them are confusing. He does not grade easy the essays but not too hard either.

Professor Pavelich is amazing. His lectures are really engaging, and he has a clear understanding of the topics. He breaks down every aspect of the lectures for us to understand each part of the readings. He is not a tough grader, and he gives honest feedback on how students can improve. I would recommend him to anyone.

Taking him is a no brainer. It's a great class and an even better professor. It was my first time taking him, and I honestly learned so much. I am retaking him next semester as well.

This was symbolic logic (formal logic). Pavelich made an extremely complicated subject easy. As long as you read the chapters as expected, and ask for help when you need it, this class will be well worth it. Several students struggled comprehension, but we all walked each other through the basic to advanced concepts with quick tutorial advice.

Professor Pavelich's lectures are engaging and he explains the material clearly. The workload is manageable, with writing assignments but no tests. I found tools like unstuck AI helpful for preparing. Overall, an interesting and rewarding class.

Is very engaging and talks a lot in lectures. His classes are very fun to attend and he is very quick to reply to emails. Understanding if you'll be turning in something late.

(online anytime) was an easy, well-taught class. The lectures were great and there were no exams or papers. Quizzes were only 2 questions, with practice and graded homework. Discussions were simple, the textbook was free, and the instructor even accepted late work with no penalty (one-time).
