this guy knows his stuff, and holds very interesting classes. recommended. course load is light, and interesting.

Positively influenced my life. Brilliant.

Difficult for an introductory class. Does not want to fail anyone - a plus. A midterm and a take home final. Some pop quizzes, not too bad. Very confusing class, lasts TOO long.

extremely insightful teacher...very interesting

He is very sarcastic, but doesn't mean offense by it. He is a great teacher and makes class really interesting. The midterm and final are short answer, but he gives you the questions in advance to study. I definitely recommend!

The class was overall hard. However, he is a good teacher and willing to help. he takes attendance randomly. four pop-up quizes, a multipule choice midterm, and a take home final. very strict about grammer & structure in the essays. Recommanded!!

Best teacher i've ever had...awesome to listen to

Very interesting guy. Hard to figure out where he stands. Every class is discussion if people talk. Otherwise, he just lectures. Lectures are complex; you have to ask questions. Four take home tests. Difficult grader. Gives full letter grade bonus for perfect attendance.

Not really hard. He has his own views, and he's not afraid to express them. If your view doesn't agree with his, you better be prepared to defend yourself. The tests were all take home essays/short answers. Grading is a little rough, but the perfect attendance bonus makes up for it. Recommend.

An exceptionally intelligent professor. He is a marxist, but has a few right wing leanings. You will be defending your beliefs. His tests are VERY tough, BUT are take him and he will review what you have written if you so desire. An excellent man personally, if you try to get to know him.

this class is really interesting....I enjoyed it. He's not afraid to express his opinions. He's down to earth and doesn't **** around which is a nice change. Really not hard if you pay attention and if you're not a complete idiot.

Cameron made ethics interesting. I thought his views were interesting and compelling. His views were differnet then some students but he backed up his arguments with facts and not blind hostility. He didn't discriminate anyone with differnet political or religous views. I highly recommend him.

great at re-explaining things. uses interesting examples and thought experiements. really wants you to understand, but you have to ask questions when u need clarification. open to all sides of an issue. doesnt make you do pointless work. teaches different stuff, more than traditional aristotle.

Everyone else that's rated this guy are all full of crap. He is probably the most informed teacher on his subject out of all the teachers I've had here. As long as you prove to him that you care about the class somewhat you'll get a B. Have perfect attendance, get an A. A good core class.

You could tell that he really loves what he does. He has an awsome attendance policy!

Very smart man. Cool and practical. Tough exams, though both were take home. Expects class participation. Will raise grade if you have perfect attendance.

Great teacher. Cold winter mornings talking about Marx on the steps. Oh great memories. I guess the class was hard if you are stupid but I'm not so there I said it.

Take this class for ethics - the midterm and final were take home tests, although still very hard. He is sort of an unfair grader for some people, but I had an easy time in the class. He is extremely intelligent and my night class flew by, although he never let us out early.

Odd guy...attendance bonus is done on the honors system. You can get by not reading everything, but good luck doing it. Try to say something everyday, it seems to help your stance in the class.

Loved this professor. Although he's a tough grader, I still loved the class. He's easy to understand and relates philosophy to every day life. Makes you think.

very interesting teacher... it is not hard to get a good grade, just go to class everyday and take good notes. if you pay attention, you will actually learn something that you can take with you. readings are not necessary, he explains everything in detail during his lecture. i would highly recommend his class

Very good teacher. Does expect A LOT from his students. He gives away a lot of bonus points (if you attend EVERY class he will give you 100 EXTRA points-does not take attendance often but knows faces! So you can't trick him) Midterm and final were take-home. Explains everything in class really well! I got an A and did'nt do much of the readings!

He is a jerk. Don't worry about your grade and just argue with him everyday and you'll be fine.

im not really sure why people are complaining about him. While at times class can be a little drawn out, the guy is VERY knowledgable about philosophy. Class discussions are atually pretty interesting and sometimes fun when people go on rants and get into a debate. professor camerons personality is enjoyable with his witty comments.TAKE THE CLASS!!

This guy is crazy! Really though, he is highly intelligent and knows what he's talking about. It's a fascinating class, but hard as hell. Do the reading! Know clearly what you are going to say before you argue with him though and it's actually sort of fun. He is just trying to get us to use that thing in our heads called a brain. It's so worth it.

Cameron is intimidating at first, but very accepting of class discussion.Has a strange sense of humor and is very sarcastic, but learned a lot from his teaching methods.Only a takehome midterm/final and can work on with others (recommended!)Not good w/checking email tho.Had a C at midterms, ended up with an A though.

Instead of lecturing on boring and outdated theories, Cameron focuses mainly on modern day application. As much as I dreaded taking this class, I actually enjoyed taking a different perspective on the world around us. If I ever become president, this guy is my first candidate for top political adviser.

Great prof! Unique and well though out perspective on modern ethical dilemmas. Friendly in class and outside of class. Grades papers harshly but is doing so to try and help you improve. Go for the perfect attendance to help your grade. Take LOTS of notes on everything he says. And most important of all, discuss these issues with him. He enjoys it!

Excellent professor. Covers theory, then moves on to application on political and social issues. Take-home midterm & Final, but they are NOT easy. Work HARD on these. Grades harshly to help you improve. Very friendly and helpful. My favorite instructor this semester! You will learn a LOT!

Philosophy of Karl Marx was an interesting class. He was a hilarious teacher, kind of flaky- he kept watering down our work- ended up our only grade being a huge paper at the end that he only had 2 days to grade. I worked hard on the paper and got an a- i think he put a lot of weight on participation too. Take this class if you like reading.

It's a simple as this: If you're a frat matress or a brah, you'll hate him because he is your antithesis. If you're intelligent, you'll love this man.

People say you only get an A if you agree with him, but we disagreed on tons of stuff and I still got an A. I also learned that if you listen carefully, you actually agree with him more than you originally think. He was funny, thorough and tough, but fair. Don't take it for an easy ride, but do if you want to leave having actually learned something

Mr. Cameron is very intimidating and opinionated. He can be funny at times and you will learn something in his class. He's also a very tough grader. Speak up a lot in this class because he likes people who participate (he WILL get mad at the class if hardly anyone participates). Can be condescending at times, but can also offer praise too.

Great guy, he is teaching for the right reasons and actually gives a crap about what you take away from the class and as long as you go to class you should get a good grade. He is smart he knows it, but he is still pretty down to earth about it. I wish more of my teachers where like him, instead of them acting like they have never messed up before

Best teacher I have EVER had. He teaches you about life, and how to be a better person. If you don't take him, you are truly missing out on an opportunity to grow as an individual. Exceptionally intelligent.

If you want to make a difference in this world, take Professor Cameron. He will challenge you and make you think, but you will walk out of there a much better person. His class has been the best experience I have had at SLU.

This is a real Ethics class. Mr. Cameron is a great teacher and cares a lot about his students and how they learn the material. Do not expect his class to be easy.

Good teacher. Very smart. People need too stop ****ing because they are afraid to learn. I learned a lot which means other can. The subject is hard by nature that is a given. He is one of the smartest teachers I have had and genuinely care about his students if you talk to him after class. Don't be scared kiddos.

I really enjoyed this class. It was tough, and there was a lot of reading, but Dr. Cameron was very good at explaining the material. It's tough, but I think very valuable and worth it. I'm not a philosophy major, and so I struggled more than some of the other students, but if you are interested I think it's worth it.

This class is very doable. Dr. Cameron knows his material, and he is very opinionative. The class is very reading intensive, and the reading can be dull. Dr. Cameron does a very good job explaining it, and is always willing to offer help when needed.I do recommend having a slight background in philosophy, econ, or politics though.

There are only two grades given in this class: the midterm and the final exam. Both exams are take-home essay sort of projects. If you do not like knowing your grade until the last possible day, then do not take this teacher. Also, participation is a big part of the grade. If you don't like raising your hand, then don't take this teacher.

Cliche as it may be, this class is easy if you put in the work. I highly suggest Dr. Cameron. He is very intelligent. ABSOLUTELY necessary to read the material, participation is huge. He will challenge you to learn like no other teacher, his lesson is useful. 1 mid-term, 1 final. He may have 1 or 2 essays. VERY fair teacher if you try.

Very bright man w/ knowledge of breadth of subjects, esp. philosophy; however, his teaching methods are questionable. Slides or handouts would be helpful, but he doesn't have either. This sem. he offered 2 take home tests many weeks before their due date. It is daunting to write the essays bc each is so high valued. Don't get book bc online access.

If you are really looking to learn and get the most out of an Introduction to Philosophy class, this is it. This is not an easy blowoff class to say the least. The midterm and final will set you back 10 hours, but put in the work! At the end of the class you leave feeling as if you really learned something and that is extremely rewarding.

Let's be honest, most people want a philosophy class they can skate by and not do the work. Which is why some students have a hard time with professor Cameron. Come to class, read the assigned materials, and you might learn a thing or two. Brian Cameron is an extremely knowledgeable, intelligent and fair individual. Learn something in college.

It's not easy, but if it was, you should ponder why the philosophy "reality and self" class you are taking at a mildly prestigious university is a cakewalk. It probably shouldn't be. Dr. Cameron is incredibly insightful about what he teaches and if you ask real questions, you'll get real answers. Best teacher I've had all semester. All year.

I really enjoyed Dr. Cameron's class. He is highly knowledgeable upon the subject he teaches and is always able to supply clear answers to any questions raised during class. He wants his students to do well; that said, he expects effort and hard work to be put into assignments. If you are willing to put in the work, there shouldn't be a problem.

Very interesting person. His teaching methods are slightly unconventional but I learned a lot, and always looked forward to class. Gives two take home tests, but gives you a ton of time to work on them. If you do at least 2 letter grades better on the final than the midterm, he throws out your midterm grade. Go to his office hours! He cares a lot.

It is in your best interest to read in order to fully understand what is going on. Dr. Cameron does a good job of explaining what you read in class and is always asking if students have any questions, so if you don't understand something it's really on you. He only assigns a midterm and a final, take home tests he gives you three weeks to complete

Dr. Cameron was very fair to his students the entire semester. He lets you know on the first day of class that there will be two papers, and if there's a problem with that he can make an adjustment and we can do tests instead. Very interesting course that I would recommend.

Dr. Cameron was by far the most delightful instructor I have had in a long while. He is extremely intelligent and will make you question things before saying them a second time.

You will take as much out of Dr. Cameron's philosophy courses as you put into them. You can sleep through them or you can be actively engaged and challenge yourself. This is a professor who is willing to speak with students on his own time and can guide self-developed thought. His infamous "egotism" is only known because he gives a damn. Strong rec

I just wish I have enough background about the course so I can participate more in class discussion.

I really enjoyed my class with Dr. Cameron. The class discussions were in-depth and very good. I feel like I really had a grasp on the material by the time I finished the course.

I took his course on the Philosophy of Karl Marx, initially thinking I would dread it. I couldn't have been more wrong! I looked forward to attending his lectures more than any other this semester because they were stimulating and he did an amazing job of explaining the material. If you have to take Philosophy of Marx, DEFINITELY request Brian!

Took intro to social political theory. The course content was great. Readings were heavy, but there was little pressure to remember ultra-specific details of the text. For the most part, his lectures hit on every relevant point in the text. The final was take-home, and was really long, but we had all semester to do it, and it was all we had to do.

Great professor. He is clearly very intelligent and his lectures can be hard to follow if you don't have a ton of philosophy/sociology background. However, he's great with questions, giving examples, and applying his reasoning to current events. He is funny and down-to-earth. The final is 70% of your grade, but is a take home 30 page event. Prepare

Interesting lectures

I really enjoyed having Dr. Cameron as my professor. He was always willing to help you understand the material, and the lectures were very interesting. I was actually really excited to attend his lectures. The only thing is, if you want an A, you'll have to work for it. Study the material, be present and participate. Don't blame him, if you fail.

College level course, Um so YES YOU ARE EXPECTED TO PREFORM AT A COLLEGE LEVEL PEOPLE! Dr. C is incredibly knowledgeable and challenges your mind. If you are lazy, take a different class. You Gain more knowledge, by stepping out of comfort zones, dive in a deeper level of life. Exceptional Class, exceptional human being. #woke #forthepeople

He comes off as a hard ass but he is the one professor I actually learned something from! Take notes & dont be that organized w it bc he goes fast and youd be surprised how random messy notes will come in handy! 100 extra cred points for perfect attendance and trust me you want to go to this class bc if you don't you'll fail the midterm & final

Cameron was a great professor. Very inspirational and often mixed in components of life with the lesson. Reading was needed but not really. A bit intimidating but great in the long run

Phil of Marx: Wonderful professor. The design of the course consists of extensive reading of Aristotle, Marx, and Lenin, and there's a heavy focus on class discussion. There is tremendous opportunity to learn and participate, but if you're not interested in the material or don't read texts you wont do well. V rewarding and a knowledge professor.

Great professor, he is very knowledgable in his field and just a well rounded individual in general. He cares a great deal about his field and especially the students. His class was very challenging, funny, and interesting. Get ready to think outside the box and really produce phenomenal papers if you want that "A".

Hilarious guy and very fun to listen to. Prof Cameron is very knowledgable and makes you think. Doesn't give tests or quizzes, the only grades in his class are attendance, the take home midterm and the take home final. As long as you take notes, you will do great. Cares greatly about students' mental health and success. 100% recommend.

He is a great person and I wish he would have taught another subject because the class he teaches is very hard. His midterm was tough however the final took me 7 hours and I am still scared for my grade because the questions he gives are very tough and there are no notes to go along with lectures. I will say he genuinely cares about mental health

Brian Cameron is awesome. I was able to score over 100 in the class without reading once. Just show up to lecture and take good notes. He has only a midterm and a final but they're both take home and you get weeks to do them. He gives a 10% bonus to your final grade for perfect attendance. This guy should be mandatory at SLU.

You will get a lot out of this class if you read. He assigns a lot of reading but most of it is interesting, except Anselm that was boring. Material he covers is interesting. Bit of an egoist but that is most professors. Opinionated and ready to argue which I like. got 110 on midterm, final unknown.

Dr. Cameron's "Ultimate Questions in Theology" is an enjoyable class for any undergraduate student. While there are some heavy readings, most of the content is interesting. Additionally, the class is lecture heavy - and taking good notes will only help you throughout the semester. Cameron is respectful, understanding, and knowledgeable.

Professor Cameron's ethics class has been incredible. Take it if you can!! And take notes. Lots of notes. Notes will be your best friend. Don't be a jerk in class and he won't be mean. He's more than happy to answer questions and explain things further if you ask.

Goes on a lot of philosophical tangents but I enjoyed them. Entire grade is based off miderm project and final project. Takes forever to grade but gives in-depth feedback to make you a better thinker. Makes uncomfortable eye contact while lecturing, just know it's not personal. Overall interesting guy, I enjoyed the class though.

Prof Cameron's class is challenging but engaging. Though lectures can be dry, his passion for the material shines through. Attend every class, take messy notes, and use Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook to excel. Overall, a rewarding experience for philosophy buffs.

100 points of extra credit if you have perfect attendance and you get a free mental health day to use at your discretion. The only grades for this class are attendance, a midterm paper, a final paper, and a one page reflection. Dr. Cameron is hilarious and very intelligent, but he might rub you the wrong way if you don't like his style of teaching.
