He is very funny and easy to get along with. He will always answer your questions to the best of his ability. His tests are usually 50 questions and he gives you the main points that will be covered. Millions of pages to read... He's cool, you just have to study!!

Good teacher. The class is easy because tests are multiple choice and some common sense. Sometimes he threw some things on tests that we weren't supposed to know, but he would make it up with a gargantuan curve and/or extra credit.

This guy is really cool, you can tell he wants his students to get good grades.The tests are hard but the curves make up for it. Read the material and pay attention in class, and you're going to get a good grade. He also cracks jokes and is a fun guy to be around...def. my favorite professor.

Huge curves on the tests that are hard. He expects everyone to get good grades on his classes, and he's extremely funny, joking around with students. Overall a good professor to work with.

so i took his class because my friends were taking it. i never wanted to take phil.. but it wasn't so bad.. hes a really good teacher.. and hes not that bad to look at.. he is so nice! and even though his tests were soooooo hard!!!! he did give huge curves and he gave extra credit.. would i take the class again? no way.. but it was "fun" while it l

Great teacher, curves like crazy, and helps if u ask. alot of reading, but he also give a lot of notes. I had him at 8 am, so he always threw in jokes or off topic conversationg to keep us awake.

Awesome teacher! If you're willing to settle for a B in the class and save yourself a lot of money and studying, dont buy any of the books he tells you to buy! He gives you a big list of all the main points of each philosopher, all you have to do is study those main points and listen to his very interesting lectures and youll be straight with a B

This guy is very hot, therefore it is really hard to concentrate in his class, however it he pretty straight forward, study his main points, and his notes! He assigns a lot of reading for the tests but he curves them. At 8 am he is always up for jokes, as so he doesn't have to lecture the entire time about philosophy.. so take him!

oh so hot :) makes you want to go to class, gives main points for each philosopher & test and curves tests like f-ing crazy & lets you drop your worst grade...too bad he's married :0

Hard class. nice teahcer

He is hot! There is nothing wrong with philosophy with an exceptionally hot teacher. You have to do the readings though but he gives major curves on the test. He is really helpful and funny. Try to pay attention though, because his lectures are very helpful when it comes to passing the tests!

Nattania is a quirky and unorganized guy like mentioned before, but he is a good teacher. Tests are 50/50 lecture/text, he curves sometimes over 20pts. Rarely stays on point but he's interesting to listen to in lecture. Final is 80% recycled test questions. Keep your tests and pay attention in class. Easy B if you listen, A if you do the readings.

if you are a good test taker and get the main idea of what he is trying to say, take this class. not boring at all. tests can be hairy, but curve is very good. explains each philosopher well.

I took his summer course; it went very fast but as long as you do the reading and take notes you will get a B easy. He's entertaining so you don't get bored in his class.

The way he puts out the information is easy to relate to. Go to class, review the main points list, and READ!!! The reading can be boring but it is a must to do well. This professor changed the way I look at things in life.

Professor Nattania is an excellent teacher. The material is somewhat difficult and you have to be ready to read a lot. I entered this class knowing almost nothing about Philosophy and now have a very strong base. He is great teacher if you are ready to work.

Anthony was a great professor. You need to do your reading, but class was laid-back and fun, and always interesting.

Natannia is a really awesome teacher. The class itself is hard. In order to do well lots of reading is required. Tests are hard and cover alot but he outlines them for you. Great test curves tho. I came into this class knowing absolutely nothing about philosophy! yes, it was the worst decision of my life to take philosophy 150 its tough

Professor Nattania is a really great teacher. Lectures were never boring. They were actually very fun while still sticking to topic. I would definitely have read more, but he curves gives a nice curve on test. I would highly recommend taking his class

I received D's on all of his tests but with the curves I ended with high B's and thats without studying. The readings are extremely hard. I suggest sticking to the main points and do the extra credit he offers and you'll get an A. He's super funny and nice. If you try to cheat, he'll know SO DONT. Highly recommended.

Overall, the class went well. I took it in the Summer and he doesn't use the entire class time. About 3/4. His test are difficult and the reading is tough to keep up with, but he give extra credit and curves in the end.

Mr. Nattania was a little difficult. He is a very nice guy, but his classes are very hard. The most important thing is to READ READ READ! I love to read, and this class is challenging if the book is not read. The tests are difficult, so a lot of preparation is needed. However, he is a good teacher, hes funny, and makes tbe class interesting.

He is a good teacher of a difficult subject. He causes controversy to get the class discussing topics! Only 2-3 participated in my class! If you at least TRY to understand the material he will help you get a decent grade. U must read text. Curves are generous & gives extra credit. Participate in class & try on your tests & u should do fine.

PHIl 303, Excellent intructor gives you two take home test, and 1 research paper. Turn in all of that you will receive an A. He gives you enough time to finish the exams and Research paper. He is not boring, and makes the class interesting. Thanks for Not using power point to teach the class.

He wasn't really bad. He is slow to respond to email, but he lets you know from the get go he is. You have to call his home or cell. He is really helpful when you do that. The tests were easy if you read and used page tabs. He gives great reviews before the test for you to complete. Got an A and I have no interest in Philosophy, I just studied.

I took a World Religion course with him in the fall and he is a GREAT professor, however, the material was very difficult. Our class average was about mid 50s to 60s. Though he didn't give extra credit, he curved the MESS out of those exams resulting in me getting a C+ in the class! I really liked him. Hard class. READ!!

Great professor for such a hard class, without reading his handouts and book readings you will fail. everyone usually fails the tests and he adds a curve every time. if you actually study and get a C on the test its an A with the curve. Love him.

Great professor. Really funny. YOu just have to make sure you read the notes he gives you. He also curves tests a lot but you still need to know the material!

World Religions is a super tough subject, but Prof. Nattania is really good in teaching the subject. He's usually a phone call away, and he makes the class interesting with his jokes. READ THE READINGS, THOUGH! Especially the notes he makes for you. He curves alot on exams, of which you will have 4 & a final, but don't rely on that. READ.

FANTASTIC teacher. One of the best in the school. He takes difficult ideas that goes against everything his students have been taught their entire lives and makes it understandable. His class was beyond enjoyable. Take it if you have the chance.

5 tests. Lowest is dropped. 5th one is the final. He let us count one of our tests as double instead of taking all 5. They are all curved a whole lot. Ended up with a B- and I had mono and missed a test. Just read the reviews he gives you. You'll do fine.

Really hard test. Everyone would do horrible on the test, but the curve would bring your 40% to a 70% most of the time. The readings are extremly long, but if you dont read them than you are screwed. He is a good teacher, class is kinnda pointless, just read

such a chill professor, always comes to class in a funny attitude and cracks jokes to keep you interested. tests are very difficult but his curves are 20-30 points. i didnt read anything except for a few notes and i have gotten nothing below a C.

He was an awesome professor! Philosophy in general is pretty boring, but he made the best of it. Exams were hard, but he curves them SO much that it's impossible to fail his class. I pretty much only showed up for tests and I passed with a high B. His final is cumulative but takes questions straight from previous exams... there is also extra credit

My favorite class this semester and one of my favorite professors at ODU. People who are easily offended with religious affairs should probably stay away but personally I loved it :) Decided to go with a philosophy minor. No hw and barely any outside class work, gives extra credit. Downside is a LOT of info and tests can be tricky..and 5 tests only

Super cool and interesting prof. Tests are hard but everyone does horrible so the curve is large. I think the vast majority of people end up with B's. Final is directly from previous tests. Lowest test is dropped. Recommended.

The test are at best, average difficulty but the curve is normally enough to bump you half a letter at least. He doesn't care much about attendance but he does learn your name, even without you knowing, so he will notice if youre not there.

The test are hard. You have to study really hard in order to do well. But on the bright side he is willing to help so go to his office hours if necessary.

Makes in class sessions very interesting. Attendance not required but who doesn't want to sit in his class. Homework assignments come straight from the readings. Test questions come straight from the homework. A lot of studying involved but I say take him.

The Best teacher by far!!!

The class itself is extremely difficult. He tries his best to help, but wasn't very helpful. Great guy, but tests are everything.

He's a good professor but everything is all up to you. Lots of studying but the in-class assignments are all you need to study for exams. The work load is not heavy but when there is work to be done, it can be time consuming

He is an amazing professor. Works very well with you on grades. He is thorough its just the material that is difficult.

Professor Nattania is a great professor and helps you with whatever you need. There is a lot of reading and lengthy assignments due but if you get them done this class is an easy A. He doesn't mind cell phones unless you take advantage of this. I would definitely recommend this professor

Attendance not mandatory. He learns your name quickly, which surprised me. Material is difficult, and attending class definitely helps. It's a critical thinking class, he asks a lot of questions even if class doesn't give a response. Semi-funny, examples are relatable & interesting. I never bought the required textbook, but got a B. Googled answers

His tests are hard but he drops your lowest test grade and gives extra credit. You need to work hard but you will earn valuable knowledge of world religions. PS hot personality

Gives you a fat textbook that i barely used. in class assignment questions can be found online, and i used flash cards to study. the class is very interesting and makes you think, but there was almost no use of the books unless you really wanted to read a TON

Really cares about his students. Very clear with his expectations. His tests are to test your knowledge, not trick you. He's also helpful during tests if you get confused and he makes himself available outside of class. If he taught more classes, I'd take him again.

You won't pass without interest in the topic, be open minded.

Good professor, tests were very hard. Hes always there if you have questions to ask but the material is definitely difficult. Only take if you're seriously interested in the subject.

Textbook is $100, plus additional books. I barely used the book, mainly studied the study guides (which he gives the answers to) for the test. His tests are super hard because they cover so much material that is hard to grasp. But he provides extra credit for every test. His lectures are entertaining but don't help with the tests. At. All.

He was very knowledgeable about the material, lectures are super interesting, and he allowed class participation. Tests are hard, BUT he does give PLENTY of easy extra credit if you do bad on a test. I would definitely want choose him as a professor again.

I love prof tony. He is honestly there for you. No matter what type of day he is having he always brings his perky personality. The material is very interesting but ALOT to take in. The good thing about this professor is he understands and will save your grade if you make effort. I have gained a lot philosophical perspective & would recommend.

I went into this class knowing NOTHING about philosophy, but Nattania is a great professor! The material is HARD, but he is easy to listen to and explains everything very well. The tests are hard, but he LITERALLY goes over every single question in his lectures, readings, and homework so if you want to pass go to class and do your work.

Prof Nattania knows his stuff but his teaching style forces you to learn the material on your own. Lectures are engaging and entertaining, but does not give you all the information on the test. Assigns hundreds of review questions that are no where in the readings or text he gives you. Google will help you get through this course.

Professor Nattania is a great person all around, except his teaching methods are a bit tedious. He assigns A LOT of readings and videos so be prepared. His tests are tough and tricky so know your stuff. The homework he assigns is confusing and difficult to find, but the homework is basically what is on the test. It was my most difficult class.

For a Gen Ed, I was surprised how tough he made his class. There are only 5 tests and study questions and the lowest test is dropped. He gives A LOT of extra credit, but if he didn't most people would fail because his test are based on his textbook/study questions. I wish I would have taken another teacher/equivalent class even though i got an A.

Very friendly and dynamic. Philosophy involves a lot of reading and writing and this course was a lot of work, but it was very rewarding. Lectures were less instructional but more thought provoking and set the context for weekly papers. The weak point is feedback; I didn't get one paper returned but only received the scores and long afterwards.

He is so funny he makes it fun to learn

Nattania doesn't put much on Blackboard because he wants you to show up for class. The classes are discussion based and very casual. Make sure to buy his textbook and read. He gives article reviews for an easy grade if you read. The final exam was a 10-20 page paper SINGLE SPACED on ten philosophers, so it is helpful to read WAY ahead of time.

nattania is an amazing professor. He is a character to figure out, but he really makes you think and it makes you actually wonder. I would highly recommend you take him.

I highly recommend taking his course. There is only 5 assignments so not a lot of room to mess up. The book is expensive but you only need it for the midterm and two essays. Lectures are interesting if you participate. Weekly article reviews. I skip 2 out of 3 classes and I'm doing fine in the class(C+ with 2 assignments left).

Show up, participate in the class discussions that I found interesting, do all 5 graded assignments which includes the participation grade, be there to take the very easy quizzes and you will pass. Easy A or B.

Professor Nattania is laid back maybe to an extreme. I do agree with most of the posts, his posts are insane but it does teach you about the philosophers. As far as him giving or posting any lectures himself-not at all. He did not respond back to any of the emails I sent him throughout the semester. The final IS a 10 page single spaced paper.

Okay so I loved this class. Lol, however you do need a book thats $120 but I didnt have the book and still passed with a great grade. He works with you if the whole class participate in the discussion. You do need to read at least some if you wish to pass the test .

He has revamped the course and is offering weekly writing in place of notes and tests. Read the content he gives you. Go to class and pay attention to his explanation of the reading. Then, write the one page paper (super simple if you listen and pay attention) and your set up for success!

I took the 8-week course so my feedback is based on the intensity of the condensed material. He did a wonderful job of going above and beyond to provide various forms of information in different learning styles (videos, audio, readings, etc). Thought-provoking and I can definitely say that I learned from him and the course material.

Took the class back in Spring of 2023. Amazing conversationalist who's extremely passionate for what he does. There's a lot of writing assignments that require watching videos and reading outside of class but they're little page long pieces that take less then an hour. Just have good time management and enjoy the class discussions!

The class has a lot of writing assignments, but they're manageable if you stay on top of the readings and engage during discussions. unstuck ai was super helpful for efficient prep. Just make sure to attend class and take notes - the professor can sometimes get sidetracked, but their passion makes the content worthwhile.
