Probably the most difficult class Ive had, but worth it. LOTS of writing.

He has got to be the greatest teacher ever!! He is hilarious yet knowledgeable.

Buddy, I was in your class. You were clueless because you got dropped at birth. The class was great. The teacher...greatERR! And that, my friend, is a posteriori. Hard course, with excellent guidance. Thank you, Hansen.

Hansen is RAD! I recommend him to EVERYONE!

just have to take a few quizes and he tells you the answers to the midterm and final and the pages to find them its an easy class

knowledgeable teacher, you just have to take good notes to be able to write the essays. Not hard if you try 50% of the time.

i am amazed at how great he is! so far he has to be the best teacher ive had, and i recommend this class to all, even if your major isnt philosophy related, its super great, and the memories are unforgettable.

The class I took was an introductory course to philosophy. The purpose of this class is to expose people to the various concepts of self; of what is real; of what is life. This guy provides an interesting forum that encourages you to look deeper. His stor

learned a lot. wants to help students change their mind set on life. Very Funny

This guy is great, the people who have problems with him, I ask one question... did you guys do the reading homeworks? I doubt it, his jokes tie into the readings and lectures perfectly. Take this teacher if you want to learn and have fun!

He is hillarious, but gets easily side tracked. took his class over the summer, just showed up didnt study got a B, the material isnt easy its REALLY confusing(logic, confusing who'da thunk it?) if ur willing to spend time on the class, an A is possib

I got an A in the class. quizzes are easy if you do the reading. Essays are sooo easy becuase HE TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO WRITE. you would seriosuly have to not pay attention to not pass his class.

Wonderful! Very clear and charasmatic!

He is the funniest man alive. His Benjamin ficus story is the hilarious story alive. He cares about his students and wants everyone to do well in his class. He spoons feeds you the answers to his exams. Essentially, you need to go to class and take every quiz. The quizzes will help you get an A

I've had him for almost all the classes he teaches. He gives great examples and expands in great detail on subjects he truly enjoys. He is very scattered, and does not always specify what he is talking about, but his classes are generally easy if you pay attention and are interested.

It was the ONLY class that i actually wanted to go to--and i hate school. Hanson is very easy man, very funny guy, open minded, i think he was playing with shrooms when he was younger...changed my life (well not really, but does open your eyes to certain things)Loves to teach! BEST TEACHER out there

easy class, very foward about what will be taught and whats expected, whole class consist of 2 test and 10 quizzes.

GREAT TEACHER! YOU WILL LEAVE HIS CLASS CHANGED. HE IS SO INSIGHTFUL. LOVED HIS CLASS AND WOULD LIKE TO TAKE HIM AGAIN IF I HAD THE CHANCE! GREAT PROFESSOR *******8

Great teacher! Uses stories and jokes to explain concepts that are harder to understand. Lectured from memory and never skipped a beat. Do well on the quizes (10), they can make or break your grade, along with 2 tests (definitions and essay). The essay's are cool because you do them at home so your test day is only 10 or so minutes long.

This teacher changed my life, i am now a philosophy major because of Dr. Hanson, take this class, it will change your life

World Religions. He is an awesome teacher! Very funny and entertaining. He was very easy and made it fun. Take him for sure!

TAKE HIM! Gives out random quizes, so must keep ears open, not hard at all, very interesting. Keep up to date with readings and you'll do good

i actually might become a phil major becuz of him ... his quizzes are easy as hell i got a 6/5 on the first one and shoot its soooo easy .. PEACE OUT !!

Loves to teach! BEST TEACHER out there.

Super cool class. If you are thinking twice about the subject and how hard it will be, well dont bc he makes it fun and easy to understand what you are supposed to know. Grades on a 150 pt. scale and your best bet to pass the class is if youre IN CLASS. He is a funny guy and pretty much gives you the answers if you pay attn. :)

bruce is a great guy. he genuinely wants you to love philosophy and he's willing to help you understand. he has passion for what he teaches and he's quite inspirational. the quizzes aren't hard, but you still always have to read. it's interesting though. if you keep up on the reading you'll do fine in his classes.

This man is passionate about philosophy. I hardly knew what philosophy was going into the class, and now I can't wait to take another of his classes. His stories and examples are epic, I had his class at the end of the day and I would look forward to it like a kid looks forward to story time. Weekly short answer quizes, finals are vocab + essay.

MY FAVORITE TEACHER! This professor is awesome. He's passionate about his job, and loves teaching. Lots of quizes, though. Awesome story teller. Very funny man. I recommend you this teacher if you wanna learn about philosophy.

A brilliant man with good nature, and a better heart. Take him now. 'Nuff said.

You coudln't ask for a more passionate instructor. His stories really help drive the info into your head. He expands your horizons into thinking about religion and what you believe in. The 2 midterms are painful: Write 2 essays and he picks one for you to turn in, but he has a formula for you to write in. Take lots of notes! Get the txt books!

Great teacher and a good man. Loves what he teaches and loves teaching it to us. It's true his lectures can get a bit off topic, but his humor more than makes up for it. 2-3 essays, 10 quizes. Make sure you show up to class, otherwise you'll miss quizes and since there is no real homework other than reading, it will hurt your grade. GO BRUCE!

Very good teacher, although you have to pay attention. philisophy is a hard sub. to understand. He is an excellent teacher and very sincere and caring. cares about his students. funny guy.

Bruce Hanson is definitely my favorite teacher, ever. I thought this class would be my worse class but he definitely made it my FAVORITE. It totally opened my eyes to a completely different way of thinking. I cannot wait to take more of his classes. He takes what could easily be a boring class and makes it into a wonderful experience.

Whoo! well the 2006 fall verdicts are in and once again, I'm sure, Bruce Hanson wins 'em all. Fantastic insightful fun and forgiving professor. If you are capable of being an interested student he will bring it out of you. He's Hilarious and Respectable. classes are in depth and not too difficult. great anecdotes. Few tests so make em count. Luck!

Bruce is a great teacher who never fails to make philosophy entertaining. He cracks all sorts of jokes that set off chain reactions of giggles around the class. Philosophy can be tedious and frustrating, but he makes everything easy to understand and relate to life. Everyone should experience one of his classes. He's the best!

took eastern philosophy w/ him. The best professor I've ever taken. Inspires you to excell far beyond the classroom with his charisma and enthusiasm. I can't express how much of a positive influence he had on me, and it was clear he had the same effect on everyone else in the classroom.

also have him for philo 170 his lectures are different from most professors. He is funny and knows how to keep the class interested. Ph100 is the easiest. 170 a bit more work but same style. great choice if you are philosophy major.

he is a genius helps with life situations

hanson is a really rad teacher. you learn a lot from his lectures. They are interesting, and he's really funny. I never missed a class...even when i didnt go to any other class, i went to his. Go to the classes, take the notes, read the text and you'll do fine. I highly recommend this class.

Dr. Hanson is amazing. His lectures have changed my life. If you actually want to learn and are willing to work, you will do well. He's a witty dude and always willing to help you understand.

best teacher i've ever had. the subject is not fun at all, but he makes it interesting. he's very funny, but make sure to pay attention. def attend class, he'll drop you if not.

If you want to take Philosophy at Fullerton College, or Religion, you must take Bruce Hanson. You have to be either crazy or in love with the other professors to take them over this man. He truly is a master at his craft - teaching - and he's a great story teller too. I'm telling you man, you can't wrong with Bruce.

Great Professor. I actually wanted to go to class, because of his lectures. Philosophy is not my thing, but in his class I got an "A". I was due to him making the material very understandable. Take this professor.

gifted teacher. he mixed learning and humor together. loved his class. its so easy as long if you have a laptop to take notes. otherwise.. sit next to and be friends with a guy who has a laptop. =P

great professor

This professor was awesome. I initially had no interest in Phil but he makes it really fun. You have to attend class or else you will get insanely behind and you might miss a quiz. He is also really informative on what is going to be on the quizzes and midterms. Just study up and you will get an A.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AWESOME TEACHER TAKE HIM! PERIOD.

1 midterm, 1 Test(He will tell you EXACTLY what to study). Attendance is very important, PLUS....it is so interesting and FUN you'll never want to miss class. 1 Quiz every week. FUN class, FUN professor. ENJOY!!!

Great teacher. The class is tough but he makes it very interesting. Just make sure you go everyday.

TAKE THIS CLASS WITH DR. HANSON! A little on the hard side for me, but definitly worth it. He is super funny and an amazing professor!!

One of the most passionate and nicest professor I have ever had. He is amazing and tells life changing stories. Take him now!

Dr. Hanson is an awesome teacher! He really cares about his students, and his class does more than just teach you about philosophy. You will learn some great LIFE LESSONS from Bruce. On top of that...he is HILARIOUS! Not too many points available...so make them count. Don't miss class and study for the quizzes.1 MIDTERM 1 FINAL 10 Quizzes=150 pts!!

Great teacher, very entertaining lecture style. Hanson has a great way of summarizing the material with charts and terms. My only complaint is that the final and midterm are such a huge proportion of the grade and oriented to specific answers rather than interpretation.

Mr hanson is extremely informative, he is a textbook in itself. NOTE TAKING IS CRUCIAL! but he cares about his students, he nice and funny. i like him a lot

great teacher, you will get a lot out of this class. The mid term and final is soo much work. Stay on top of it .. I wish I would have asked him more questions. Not too hard if you can write pretty good.

The class is worth 150 points, so every point counts. There are quizzes usually once a week (quizzes are simple and a chance to get some extra credit points). You have to write four essays total, so take good notes!

Take Bruce. He's freakin rad. He'll rock your socks off.

Hanson is the man. Got an F in this course few semesters ago, took him last semester and got an A. IF YOU TAKE ANY OTHER TEACHER FOR PHILOSOPHY YOU ARE CRAZY!! Hanson will make you laugh for at least half the class everyday. Study your class notes, and team up with a few people in class and easy B will be waiting for ya.

Dr. Hanson changed my life. I think the only religious experience I've ever really had was because of one of his lectures. I still have dreams about him...

He is an actor, who always makes the class fun n interesting. Dr. Hanson uses many stories to help his students comprehend the material. You can make friends from this class since you will choose the seat for the rest of semester. Highly recommend this teacher if you have hard time with philosophy. It wont be a boring class.

Highly recommended. Patient, kind, fair grader and hilarious to boot.

TAKE HIM!I'm not a "philosophy" person,but had to take it for GE. It was fun seeing Dr. Hanson everyday,4 days a week, before and after class.(summer 2008) I can't say it was an easy class since we only had 150 points the entire course.but take him, he loves what he does and enjoys helping people. I miss Dr. Hanson already.

Great teacher who knows how to get you to understand the class. He makes the topics easy to understand and will go over them till you get it. The text isnt really needed b/c he explains most of it but if you can read along its even better

This guy is entertaining i have been taking his class for 3 weeks & i'm already hooked! This rocks my mind.

Hanson makes the class extremely interesting and a joy to look forward to every week. His stories help to clarify the subject matter, and add a humorous element. Just pay attention in class, do some of the readings, and you should be fine on the tests. A healthy amount of writing, but definitely worth it!

this class is worth taking. hanson stories are related to his lectures and make them easier to understand. two tests, midterm & final, with a bunch of quizzes(easy points) in between. take his class. you must take it.

This guy is funny and sexy.

Dr. Hanson is a gem of a teacher. He is sincere, passionate and intelligent. He doesn't just teach, he mentors his students and he cares ... genuinely. I recommend any class Dr. Bruce Hanson teaches. Stay engaged and you will be challenged and stretched in helpful ways. I looked forward to every lecture and actually miss them. Take him!

nice guy, funny, plenty of discussion. Ultimately if you want to do well in his class you will need to memorize everything he says and regurgitate it on the exam.

His lectures are very important (for your grade and person) so pay attention and take good notes. This should be easy since Hanson is an amazing speaker. I would definitely say that he is the best teacher I have taken at Fullerton. He connects with his students through the power of his personality, knowledge of philosophy and humor.

Dr. Hanson has an amazing ability to get his ideas across. I took two of his religion courses and they impacted my life in so many ways. The midterm and final consisted of memorizing terms and an essay portion. Take good notes (esp.on his short stories!,get organized, & most important listen with an open heart. You will not regret taking him!!

Excellent master. Tons of experience. Very knowledgeable. His anecdotes are humorous and they always relate to the subject.Pay attention,take copious notes, read & analyze in advance. Write your essays beforehand & ye shall succeed!

Hanson is one of the best professors I've had here at Fullerton. He is certainly the most original thinker. If you want to see what philosophy and religion are really about take Hanson. He has a great teaching presence and as others have said, he's very funny.

Well, where do I start? Professor Hanson is amazing! He always makes me laugh and is an great teacher. I came in not really interested about Philosophy and honestly, I am leaving this semester, loving philosophy, from the ancients to the moderns. His lectures are clear, but you need to attend each class period, trust me it is worth it.

Con't - The layout is clear, very organized and gives alot of example. I wish all phiosophy teachers were more like him. He is down to earth and you can really learn from him! Just quizzes, midterm and final. Really easy if you know the material!

He is one of the sweetest teachers ever! It was a bit hard to understand or follow him sometimes but he makes the class interesting and he is VERY HELPFUL if you are willing.

Just make sure you write down everything he says, his tests are 3 page papers with terms but the paper has no personal opinion just repeat your notes in your paper. The terms are simple just make sure to remember them. If you fail every quiz but pass every test with a B or higher your sure to pass the class. He's a very interesting teacher.

nice professor! interesting lectures. love'em. His lesson has become like my personal religious education!!! class is funn!!!super helpful teacher. he is willing to go to the extent of helping you understand the text when u don't understand as long as you're willing to understand. great teacher!!! Thank you Dr Hanson for all your religious lesson..

Best teacher ever. Take this class. He has an quiz every week with 5 questions plus an extra credit question. Very easy class if you pay attention and read the very little material he assigns you. I would have gotten an A if I hadn't slacked off and not read the material near the end, but B is fine too. Most hilarious professor ever.

Dr. Hanson makes you want to be a better person. Take him for philosophy or religion

i loved him as my teacher everyday was something new class was always fun

GREAT teacher, uses plenty of real life examples to make sure the class understands the material. He's a very descriptive storyteller. I also appreciated how he brought in things we can relate to - Facebook, Pandora, lines of coke, etc. He's a very fun yet informative teacher.

Not the easiest teacher, but if you try hard you'll get an A. Make sure you take good note, write down everything he writes on the board(sometimes more), and read! read! read! quizzes are fairly easy if you study your notes and read. essays are a little confusing, but if you know how to bs, you'll do fine.

It's true, Hanson is a god. Check out the FaceBook group about him: "Everything I know about human nature I learned from a stapler"

HANSON IS THE BEST TEACHER. the end -

Take him... he?s a great professor, patient, kind plus he has a good sense of humor ;-)

One of the best professors I've ever had in my life, which makes me sad since I'm not actually a student at Fullerton. A lot of his tests & quizzes require memorization, so do actually study. Easy points. (The rest essay). He was funny and memorable. Changed my life!

Such a fantastic teacher! Hanson has a great attitude and a real admiration for what he teaches. I've never met a professor who is more charismatic, friendly, or effective. I didn't have much of an interest in philosophy before I took his class but now I love it!

great sense of humor. easy class if you actually listen to him. sometimes the material is not that simple but once he explains it, boooom you got it.

Excellent Prof. Makes you think. Entertaining and goofy while sharing his knowledge. I just registered for my 4th class with him and I'm not even a Philosophy major. I'll take whatever class he offers.

Great class and teacher. Bruce is the best. If you are wise take this class. It is not hard but you will need to know your stuff. Around 10 quizes, 2 Vocabulary Tests and 2 Essay Questions.

I LOVE HIM!! In the beginning of the semester i was soo confused at what we were learning, then eventually i got it. his quizzes arent hard, he gives you a lot of answers to them. idk how anyone can not get an A in this class.write down everything he writes on the board and also what he says so you can include that in your essay. got an A

He's a great philosophy professor. The subject can be extremely confusing but he lets us know exactly what he expects on his tests. Assignments are very straight forward. He's very lenient with grading the quizzes but not the essay exams. Just make sure you take good notes and pay attention when he lectures to get an A.

At first I worried about the class but it turned out ok! Hanson makes the class fun & interesting even though the material isnt. Each class is such a thrill because he lectures in an unbelievably appealing and captivating way!Its like he's a poet or something! The class does require effort but an A was easy to achieve! Such a down to earth person!

Hands down, the best professor I've ever had. Took world religions and got SO much more insight than I thought I would. He really took care to give us an understanding of the "heart" of the religion He did it justice in a concise way. Didn't wanna miss a class because they were so damn interesting/enjoyable. Loved not learning out of the book too.

Very insightful and interesting. Find out his philosophical views early on, and it'll help you relate to him later on in the semester. He broke things down and repeats things until we got it. Essays are challenging, but he gives clear outlines of how he wants them done. Definitely worth taking!

Hanson made Philosophy pretty interesting. He'll always explain the material by telling a funny story ! I probably laughed the most in this class. The essays exams can be difficult but he clearly explains what you need on it & if your struggling, go to his office and he will break everything down for you. If your going to take Phil , take Hanson

Best. Teacher. Ever. Seriously, if you're going to take Philosophy take Hanson. 10 EASY quizzes. Two essay exams and two terms. He lets you use all your notes for the essay. I got an A but I studied and worked hard for it and learned a lot!

I'm basically a slacker but Dr. Hanson's class actually motivated me to try harder and I ended up with a B. Hanson really is the best!

Hanson is really fun and takes the time to help you when you don't understand a topic. He is a god… well, at least in the Hindu sense of the term.

A really great professor. His stories are engaging and class is fun. Can get a little confusing, you can tell he wants to share with you as much as he knows about the subject. Terms tests are easy. Essays are a little harder, wants a lot of examples. TAKE HIM, you won't regret it.

Awesome professor! Hanson is the real thing. He's my favorite teacher so far.

Professor Hanson is excellent! He definitely has a philosophical mind through and through, but will do his best to help you understand anything you might feel is beyond your own comprehension. His stories are amazing and filled with detail so much so that you feel as though you are right in the scene! You won't regret taking him.

Dr. Hanson is a true philosopher. He is amazing at making sure you understand even the most abstract concepts. His examples are what tie everything together, and they're usually interesting & personal stories. I had him for phil 100 & loved him so much I went out of my way & took his 105.Anyone serious about learning take Hanson, he changed my life

Ok this guy is so cool. There are 10 quizzes and 3 tests. He gives a bonus question on every quiz. Only downside is that there are only 150 points to the class so you can only miss 15 to get an A. Very smart guy.

Dr. Hanson is the best professor I've had so far. He has a real passion for philosophy. I'm a student at CSUF and took Hanson this summer. He teaches at a level equal to anyone I've had at Cal State. Take him if you can, his classes fill fast.

Hanson is by far one of the best teachers I've taken at Fullerton College. I don't reccomend missing class because there is a weekly quiz that comes directly from lecture notes. One weekly quiz, a midterm and a final are the only assignments in this class. Hanson is HILARIOUS and will have you laughing out loud. Take him before he retires!

A sage. He walks around with a certain ora that you can't mistake him for another. His lectures are delivered with such eloquence that students tend to be entranced. Use of a recording device is highly recommended. He is very helpful if you reach out for him. Highly recommended if you've ever pondered the meaning of life & want answers.

Hanson is a life-changer. I would recommend him to everyone. I wish I could of taken him earlier in my career. I have learned so much from him as a Philosophy major, probably more than teacher I have taken so far. To sit at the feet of this guy is definitely something you should at least before you transfer. Prepared to get your mind blown! lol

cool and funny guy that tell funny philosophy stories. quiz once a week. books not really necessary until very very end (I ching)unless you want to study them

Dr. Hanson is a gem, I truly enjoyed his class. I took this class to fulfill a transfer requirement and wasn't really looking forward to taking it, but it is by far one of the best classes I've ever taken at Fullerton College. About 10 quizzes, a mid-term, and a final. I felt spiritually and mentally refreshed after each class.Highly recommend him!

AWESOME TEACHER, had to retake Philo, my previous professor didnt explain the concepts as well as Bruce Hanson, he gives alot of examples and simplifies the concepts to help understand and re-explains if you need to. Very energetic. (Summer Class)

Mar Hanson for Phil 100 over the summer is hands down the best, his lectures are clear and always fun and interesting to listen to, you'll find yourself happy to go to his class

Hanson is brilliant. He's a philosopher in the old (true?) sense of the word. I wish I had taken him at the beginning, not just before I transfer.

Great teacher! Very insightful. Uses many examples that really help you have a better understanding. Absolutely hilarious! One of (if not) the best teacher I've had in college. Make sure to attend class because his quizzes are based on lecture notes.

Dr. Hanson is the best professor I have ever taken in college. His class is extremely applicable to life outside class. It is easy if you show up. He will entertain you the entire class and will almost always let you out early.

Dr Hanson hands down was one of the best professors i have taken at FC! I was reluctant to take philosophy but honestly i am so happy i took it with him. The class is literally 10 quizes (which btw its based on lecture and he tells you what on them) and one midterm and final! The final is half terms(which he tells you everything) and an essay!

Took Dr. Hanson for Asian Religions. We studied Confucius, Taoism and Zen Buddhism. The subject matter was amazing and with each lecture Hanson applied it to everyday life. Take anything Hanson teaches, you won't regret it.

summer; Professor Hanson was interesting/amusing and insightful. He's very patient with questions. His quizzes were easy (with EC) while his essay exams were unexpected at first but by the second exam it was easy (you get to bring notes). I barely read the books because he tells you exactly which paragraphs to read (most of the time).

Dr. Hanson is amazing. His class has changed my life.

Great teacher, funny, helpful and will give quiz answers if you go to his office hours. Funny too.

Hanson is an excellent professor. The class comprises of only 250 pts (50 pts for a group project, 50 pts for 10 5-pt quizzes, and 150 pts for 3 50-pt tests; each test has a 20-pt vocabulary section and a 30-pt essay portion). He is very passionate about the subject and a lenient grader on assignments. Reading the text and attending class are key.

Dr. Hanson's class was the spark that changed my academic and person life. Loved his class.

Dr. Hanson was amazing! As long as you attend lecture and are consistent you will pass! He gives quizzes every week but they're so easy because it's based on what he lectures on, he's so funny too and I honestly just enjoyed his class so much! I didn't think I was going to pass Phil, but with him he made it possible! I ended the semester with a B!

Took Hanson's summer class. 2 major essay tests, several quizzes. Attendance is a must. No matter, his lectures are amazing and he's pretty funny too. He's very, very interesting, it was only my basic materialism that kept me from changing my major to philosophy!

Professor Hanson was an amazing Teacher for me! I never really found much of an interest before i took his class, and my Mom would tell me that Philosophy is no easy subject! But Hanson made it fun! He's energetic. Enthusiastic, and very Intelligent!

he is an amazing and funny teach who is very in to what he teaches . i would defiantly take him !

You take a 5 question quiz 10 times but they each have an extra credit question on them. some of the readings can be boring but they are important so stick with it. the only problem with this class is that he lectures like a normal conversation so you'll get lost in his stories or fall asleep. recording is a good idea since he lets you do that.

Looking for a great Philosophy Professor? You won't regret taking his class. His lectures are life changing, he's always good humored, kind, and I learned so much from taking his classes.

Took Dr. Hanson's honors World Religions and it was one of the best courses I have taken at Fullerton. He is passionate about philosophy and religion and inspires the same in his students. Don't miss the chance to take him before he retires.

Awesome Class, He can make class fun and enjoyable. There is a total of 150 points in the class that includes 10 5-point quizzes with an extra credit question and two tests and in-class essays. He shows a lot of passion for philosophy. He is very helpful.

10 Quizzes, 1 Midterm, 1 Final, those are the only possible points you can get. 150 points total. If you don't show up to class, then there's no chance of you passing. His lectures are also incredibly boring so be ready to sit and listen for an hour and a half.

Dr. Hanson is BRILLIANT! He lectures in a conversational style that makes philosophy interesting and easier to understand. He's also very funny in a kind of super dry way. Loved him. Strongly recommend to anyone.

Dr Hanson changed my life forever. I wasn't sure what philosophy would be about but after taking the course I have any entirely new perspective on life. He presents the material with wit and charm and I never got tired listening to him lecture. His pet peeve is showing up late, though, so make sure you show up to class on time.

He is an amazing professor whose lectures were great because of his amazing humor. And he offers a handle of extra credit that really helps in the weekly quizzes! The essays were a hassle for me because I just didn't bother to grasp the concepts. But overall I would DEFINITELY recommend taking him, it was a pleasure to be his student.

A great professor! He takes topics that could be super abstract and makes them very clear. A tough grader, but fair. Do the quizzes and the papers. Do not expect an easy A, but do expect a great experience.

His way of teaching is him telling stories and explaining it briefly. You should study for the quizzes does will help a lot at the end.

Hanson's class has changed my life (or at least the focus). He makes you want to be a better person. I'd recommend him to anyone. He already has a large number of students who consider him their "teacher".

Easy as Fudge. He does lecture one day and has a quiz on your next class meeting. His final is two finals 1. Terms and 2. Essay(easy). Really interesting class. Don't sit in the back because hell move you after people start to drop

If you're wondering about taking Hanson's class...... you need to take Hanson. He is the sweetest, most passionate and most knowledgable teacher on his subject. He is genuine and you will take away so much from his class. 11/10 would recommend and take again. He is a gem of Fullerton College.

Hanson is by far my favorite professor! He is so passionate about this subject and really wants you to learn and understand! he is just a great person, i would 100% recommend taking him!

I had no real idea what philosophy would be, but I love this class. I guess I thought that it would be super abstract, but the subject is actually very practical to everyday life. Very good professor.

Philosophy with Hanson was enjoyable and inspirational. Grading was simple, 2 exams and 10 quizzes that totaled to 150pts. He won't be teaching Philosophy again as he's retiring soon, but I recommend him for any other class he's offering. He's passionate about what he teaches and wants you to pass, you just gotta put in some work.

Dr. Hanson is the BEST! He's passionate about philosophy. He'll help you with your essays if you go to his office hours, I'm a biology major but I'm taking him again in the fall.

Dr. Hanson is not just another charismatic professor, nor is he the typical professor of Philosophy with his head in the clouds. Hanson is sweet, caring, funny, and most of all, his lectures and his own philosophy are grounded in true reality. He presents the thought of each thinker fully and carefully. My life is better for having taken his class.

Adorable professor whose really passionate about philosophy. He's like the sweetest grandpa i never had. Theres a quiz every thursday to ensure to don't ditch class, but those quizzes are really easy if you just go to class. Plus he reviews the quizzes before hand, so don't ditch!

Hanson was such a good professor who was very passionate about philosophy. He makes the class better because he uses real life stories and adds some humor to it. There are quizzes every week and two essays for the midterm and final but this class was relatively easy. Definitely would take him again.

Dr. Hanson's Social/Political philosophy class was amazing! I'm a political science major and Hanson's class has convinced me to add a philosophy minor. He's passionate about philosophy. He gives a short quiz each week, 3 tests and 5 short opinion papers. I'll definitely take him again.

Hanson is a very eccentric lecturer but his stories are always laced with the lesson he's trying to teach for that day. Always pay attention to what he writes on the board because 9/10 it's going to be on a quiz or the midterm/final exams. He's also a very patient man and will answer the same question multiple times because he values his students.

He was so sweet. He cares about what he teaches and wants to make sure his students are learning. His lectures are very important, so not showing up for one class can make it difficult to pass quizzes because quizzes are always on his lectures and they are weekly. If you show up to all classes and take notes, the class is an easy A.

Dr. Hanson's classes are not you typical cookie cutter class. He doesn't just review some textbook chapter. His lectures really get you thinking about the way you're living. I've taken him twice and will take him again.

Dr. Hanson's class will change your life (or at least shake it up a bit). He's what you'd think a real philosopher ought to be. It all sound super abstract but he makes philosophy very preactical and relavant.

I took Hanson's class twice, I failed the first time because I did not take any of the quiz serious. The quizzes are very important to get good grades in. He tends to go over the answers before so they are pretty easy just make sure you memorize them. The answers also show up on the exams. Overall I took it again and got a B.
