I HATED IT

No Comments

he is very hard, more the half of the class dropped out!!!!!!!!

First of all, all the people who say hes an "amazing teacher" i do not know hat class they were in!! This man is the most horrible teacher ive ever experienced...half the class is failing and will most likely dropout he doesnt care about anyone but himslef..HORRIBLE you will regret every minute im a student with a 3.9 and still cant get 1 word he s

This Teacher is the worst. He make his tests and quizzes impossible!! please dont take him..this man should b fired!!!

Worse ever

Very unclear with his instructions. Please keep in mind that he accidently marks present people absent and if you wait over a week to tell him he will continue to mark you absent (even with dr note). If you miss more than two classes three percentage points are deducted from you grade with each absence. Very difficult, nonapproachable teacher.

I was really looking forward to this class, but regrettably after a dispute over a quiz grade and a volley of tense, caustic emails, I could no longer enjoy the material of the class and I dropped the course. The problem with Ben, is that he completely underestimates his students' capabilities. He expects us all to be incompetent.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR/CLASS!!! I can't speak for how he is in his other philosophy classes, but do NOT, I repeat, do NOT TAKE ONLINE INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC. It is the HARDEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN. I am a member of the honors society, I have NEVER received below a B+ in ANY class, and I couldn't pass this class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!

For an introductory course, this is pretty obnoxious.

From day 1, I had no clue what to do or where to go. This is my first online class and my last. This guy makes you teach yourself the entire course, and for ethics, its the last thing you want. Most confusing reading I've ever done in my life. He grades open ended tests very harshly. Just do not take, you will regret it.

I dropped the class 3 weeks in. I couldn't and wouldn't pass the class. I completely failed the first (open note/book) three quizzes, which were 100 points. And I will add each multiple question was 4 POINTS. why are multiple choice questions 4 points? Material is difficult to start with but he makes it more difficult. DO NOT TAKE. SAVE YRSELF!!!!

Awful teacher, does not respect people with learning disabilities or 504 plans.

This class was awful. I emailed him asking for little help on some confusion I was having, and he basically called me an idiot and mocked my questions, and his blackboard posts were absolutely absurd. In all my years in school never have I had a teacher so rude, I am appalled. Save yourself the headache and do NOT take a class with Armstrong.

He does not tutor nor does he give credit for even attempting a question, like c'mon its philosophy!!!! He is very lecture heavy, so try not to fall asleep.

Terrible! I hated this class!! All the tests and quizzes consist of about 10 open-ended questions to be completed in one hr.. sometimes he might throw in 2! I would not recommend this class. My entire class failed everything so he had to curve all of our grades

Hes the hardest teacher I ever see, I asked him a question but get no answer even its have been a week for now.

This is a 100 level class. I have never had such a tough grader or the amount of work for a 100 level class. Philosophy is hard enough and this professor makes it even more of a nightmare. Do not take.

He is not helpful at all. Everytime i send him an email with a question, he would just say to read the syllabus and he is very very rude.

Literally the worst professor. I have him for online intro to philosophy because i needed to get the class out of the way. I have thoroughly read all the material and take my time on the quizzes, and so far i have 15%, 60%, 40%, and 45%. He is the absolute worst. Does not provide ANY help. You are on your own for this class

Armstrong is a bad instructor. He is not polite and grade according to how he feels about your answer and not according to the content of what you said. His syllabus is even rude!

Would not recommend taking Dr. Armstrong. His class is test heavy, & that is where the majority of the grade comes from. His short answer tests were difficult, & if it wasn't exactly what he wanted, F. He was not clear on policies & found it hard to communicate with him. He can be quite rude & discouraging. It did not feel like a 100 level course.

To be frank, he is rude and sorta condescending. All online quizzes were 100 points each and account for half of the grade. He does not teach, but solely assigns readings. His questions are often tricky and I wish I checked his reviews before I enrolled and paid. This is the only course I've ever withdrawn from. Good luck!

Do not take this class unless you need to. Professor Armstrong is very difficult and does not do much to help you to succeed in this course. Beware, as his lectures are very long and boring. He also reads off a lot of articles, essays, or textbook material. Good luck to upcoming students who have never taken a philosophy course. You will need it.

Professor Armstrong is the rudest professor I've had so far in my college career. His quizzes are copy and pastes of online content. This sounds beneficial until you have to take short answer quizzes and he doesn't give partial credit. I would not reccommend this class under any circumstance.

This professor is the worst professor I've had take so far. He is rude, not helpful and you are not allowed to email him any questions, if you have a stupid question post it on the DB and he will comment on it if he wants! I am a 4.00 GPA student, took the class online and on the first summer session, I thought I will have fun, but I didn't!

I was taking this class online.. and NO! I do not recommend. I had to drop the class. Quizzes are worth a lot (If you think you can find the quizzes online... well you guess wrong) I highly recommend taking this class on campus.

DONT TAKE HIM! I was taking him online for the 2019 fall semester, and I dropped the class in two weeks. You need to know the material if you're trying to pass the course. The final exam is worth 25% of your grade, Quizzes are worth 50%, and the History of Ethics test is worth 10%. I don't recommend this professor!

His quizzes are NOT copied and paste from online content, you will not find the answers online. I don't recommend taking this course online or with this teacher.

This professor is the worst professor I've had taken. He is ignorant and not helpful. His short answer tests were difficult, & if it wasn't exactly what he wanted, F. No matter how hard you tried. He will grade according to how he feels about your answer. STAY AWAY!!

This ethics class started with 13 people and ended with only 5. One student passed with a high B, and almost A. Second student passed with a C+ same with the third student. Myself, the fourth student, got a D, and the last student got an F. This is one of the worst professors I've had taken. The teacher doesn't care for you or your grade. Waste of

Don't take this professor save yourself and money. The teacher will not give you any credit for even attempting a question. He's very rude and doesn't care about his students at all. He can make you feel like an idiot in 4 words or less. His quizzes/tests are ridiculous and are so unclear with instructions when it comes to them. DO NOT TAKE. The cl

Colossal waste of my time! On the short answer tests, he will say your opinion was wrong. More half of the class dropped out! This Teacher is the worst, and he makes his tests and quizzes impossible! Don't take this Teacher. You are wasting your time.

Don't take this class unless you have some kind of masochistic desire to work way harder than you should need to receive 3 credits from a community college. I tried to stick with the class out of pride but I couldn't. He is punitive, uncaring and not suited for this career. It's an intro level class. Regardless of the rigor, it's not worth it.

Teacher won't grade assignments for multiple weeks, so there's no chance to learn and fix. You fail multiple quizzes for the same reason. Unreasonable deductions, any mistake you make will result in a 50% or a 0%. Very rude teacher and he doesn't care for his students.

Worst professor I have ever had, probably worst professor out there. I put at LEAST 15 hours of work into this class per 5-day week & still failed. I cried at LEAST 20 times because of this class & still failed. Not worth the stress, stay away, and take this class with a different teacher. I hear that taking this class online is EVEN WORST!

Seeing all these comments below makes it clear that getting my refund for this class was the best option.

I wish I had known about this site before I signed up for this class. Other than grading assignments, I am not sure what the professor did all semester. There was no guidance. The time allowance for the weekly quizzes and final was not sufficient.

Please listen to the comments below.. I don't recommend taking this class with Professor Armstrong. Take it with someone else. Students who took this class in person said it was BAD, and most people drop out of the course.

READ THE REVIEWS! HE'S THE WORST!!! I'm in my final year of engineering and his class I could not pass. His structure on quizzes is completely convoluted and he hasn't a care in the world for his students. He got good reviews 10 years ago. I think something happened and he's taking it out on the world.

Does not teach. Will give you 0 out of 18 points for doing everything possible to answer his question. Don't bother emailing him, he will take points off your quiz or test just for being his petty self. He is mean, does not care about his students, and gives about one quiz each day that you may fail or find the answers if you are lucky. Just don't.

For starters, philosophy is not a terrible subject in its self and not hard to understand. But what is hard to understand is 10-12 pages of primary source documents about philosophy written anywhere for 80 years ago to 300 years ago in ridiculously wordy and antiquated English. You will go insane if you try to read more than one in one day.

Professor Armstrong will not give you any credit for even attempting a question. All online quizzes were 100 points each and accounted for half of the grade. The final exam is worth 25% of your grade, Quizzes are worth 50%, and the History of Ethics test is worth 10%. Don't take this professor to save yourself and money.

Worst grader ever! You could read and know your short answers are correct and he gives you a 0. Any quizzes he has to grade manually beware because he grades very low. Do not take him! Also gives you like 2-3 days to complete work.

DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH DR. ARMSTRONG!! Definitely the worst professor I've ever had. I graduated from montco's RN program and then barley made it out of this class with a B. Grading is completely harsh & unfair and we took around 22-25 quizzes in 10 weeks. Essays for quizzes were each 5-15+ p. Offers no help/guidance. Rude & unprofessional.

Not a good professor, stay away and save yourself the money and the headache. He is rude and doesn't care for his students. The reviews for this professor are %100 correct.

very little helpful feedback on quizzes, crazy amount of deadlines, not much teaching on his part. unclear. I understand that mine classes are majority self guided, but he really seemed to make no effort. He is also very arrogant, talks to you like he breathes better air than you do. honestly one of the worst experiences with a professor I've had.

Please listen to the comments below, no matter what you do. You will most likely not pass with an A. Montco needs to fire this professor. Keep in mind. If you get a D, you have to retake the course because Ds don't transfer out. Save yourself the money and your time.

Well... I had to withdraw from this class. I don't recommend taking this course with this professor.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Worst proffesor i have ever had, he makes this class so hard for no reason i spend hours reading and taking notes to make sure i understand the topics close time to taking the tests. You may seem to be very confident on the test until he gives u a 30/100 for no reason at all, and with no feedback stay away.

Don't take ANY classes with this professor. He is one of the WORST teachers in Montco. No matter how hard you study, you most likely won't pass your short answer exam questionssave yourself time, stress and money.

One of the worst experiences I ever had! Listen to the comments below. The reviews for this professor are 100% correct.

Professor Armstrong is rigid and does not do much to help you to succeed in this course. The final exam is worth 25% of your grade, quizzes are worth 50%, and the History of Ethics test is worth 10%. His short answer tests are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, & if it wasn't exactly what he wanted, F. STAY AWAY FROM THIS horrible teacher.

dr. armstrong just had so much homework especially for a 100 level online summer course. We had at least 3 quizzes a week plus a discussion post and he graded the short answers pretty harshly. Only reason I got a B is because I spent so long on every single assignment even if it was small.

Please listen to the comments below, & don't waste your time taking ANY of Professor Armstrong's classes. He is the worst teacher in MCCC. I don't understand how this professor still has a job half of his class always drops, & the rest that stay barely pass the course. You would think the college would have common sense & realize he is the PROBLEM.

The reviews for this professor are 100% correct. Take this course or any of his courses with another professor. It's not worth it. Listen to the comments below and save yourself time, stress, and money. Ps: professor, you need to go back to college and learn how to teach appropriately and respectfully because you are clearly doing something wrong

Horrible class and terrible professor

He wants you to remember the WHOLE text. I asked him to go over my notes from the textbook so that I can get a good grade on a quiz. In class he agreed to reading my notes to make sure they were correct. Then, he sent me a rude email asking why I sent him my notes because he saw no point in it. He sucks don't take his class

I thought I could handle this professor. I spent hours a week just trying to pass. He grades VERY harsh. One open ended question was half of the assignment grade and his partial credit was half of the points! DO NOT TAKE HIM! It is an absolute waste of money. Take at your school for a better time. I'm an honors student, and I still couldn't pass.

He is TERRIBLE!! Grading is SO tough on information that doesn't come easy to most people. He does not respond to emails; when taking an online course, that makes him very inaccessible. All he gives is quizzes and tests. Some of them aren't that hard but the open-ended ones must be word for word and exactly what he wants it to be, nothing else.

This professor was awful. I expected a philosophy call to encourage a love for wisdom. I expected discussions and engagement among my peers. The in-class exercises were about the professor talking, limited student voice and engagement, and he shared students' discussion points, he highlighted what was wrong with the points. Very disappointed!

DO NOT TAKE!!! I have almost fallen asleep in every class! He stands in front of the class and lectures for an hour every class. No variety or group work (not that there are enough people to even do so). Very harsh grader on short answer questions and won't give you credit if it's not exactly what he wants.

For a summer course at a community college, I would NOT reccomend. This class is so difficult and graded so harshly. There is no clear schedule of assignments and no grading criteria. Tests and discussions would be posted at random times and you always just had to be on the lookout for them. I've never had such a bad professor and struggled so much

work was not clear

Truly the worst professor I have ever had. I took his online class over the summer for credits and questioned my sanity. There was no structure whatsoever and the amount of quizzes was comical. I would receive 10/100's on SEVERAL of my quizzes. I reached out for help and he gave me NOTHING. I ended up sticking it through and passing.

you will never receive feedback. he will purposefully try to drop your grade with nitpicked grading. you will answer a written response correctly, and receive no credit for it and you will never know why. DO NOT TAKE.

He is a terrible professor.He gave no credit on essay questions on quizzes then gives zero explanation as to what he is looking for or why it is wrong.He is very nit picky about the things you say in essay questions.Tries really hard to find a problem in anything you write.Overall bad professor and has nothing but free time to bother you.HORRIBLE

Very unorganized professor with the canvas sites not set up correctly and releasing new assignment modules on the same week on a Friday while having new assignments due the same WEEKEND! You will not see any of the assignments on your to-do list or calendar. This course is a huge risk and could be a big waste of money.

Don't waste your time and money

Professor Armstrong is an incredibly hard grader, will not provide feedback, nor does he outline what he expects in free response questions within his tests and will take off points if it is not exactly what he is looking for. The tests are graded weird and not consistent especially at the end of the semester.

I did his class online and he gives out about 1 discussion post and 2 quizzes every week. He only gives you about 3-4 days to do them and extremely harsh grader. You will not get weekends to relax. I would not take him again because the way he will not help you if you're struggling.

WOULD NEVER TAKE HIM AGAIN. If you have issues going on and you miss his quizzes, he will not help you whatsoever. He assigns like 2 quizzes per week and sometimes isn't clear about the reading the quiz is on. You will also have to do quizzes on the weekend.

Very rude over email, weird system of doing things, the first week he will not let you fix anything, and be careful because due dates are not posted you just have to figure it out. NOT understanding at all. Power trip.
