very approachable class is very fun you learn a lot
mr. brown is AWESOME! i love his class and i love the way he teaches. he makes it fun.
Mr. Brown is so cool. He has weird stories and gets off on tangents, but he's awesome.
Mr Brown is very easy, and helpful. Fun class to look forward to come to.
Mr Brown is a very good teacher. He makes class very enjoyable.
mr.brown is the most funniest teacher i ever had. He is a caring teacher and i love his teaching style. I would take him again n again!
He is the best teacher! If you get a chance to get him as a teacher, do it!!!
Great guy, would take again if I could outweighs test with annoying homework sheets but very nice guy made an 8:30 AM class fun
I took his ethics class. He is not only easy, but he makes class very interesting. He has a good sense of humor and is very flexible. Plus he gives you study guides for the tests. There is no comprehensive final. He is an awesome professor.
No teacher can be better than this man. Other teachers should learn from him. He's fair, gets you to think, debate, talk. He made what could be a very boring class very interesting. Thanks Mr. Brown!!!
Simply amazing. Gave life to this boring class about nothing, and used expletives. AWESOME. Definately a must-take teacher during your course selection at harper. If you took this course already, drop out and take it again. Definately worth it. Ask him about the "rowdy back row" from fall semester!
He is the best teacher! He walks you through everything, especially tests! If you can't pass his class and his tests, you must be a rock! HE GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS! Take his class, whatever it is! And sign up early or you will never get in!
Mr. Brown is definitely one of the finest professors I've had at Harper in my 3 years there. His classes were so enjoyable that I've taken 3 courses with him, all of which were enjoyable. He's a nice guy, his class is not difficult, he's fair, he makes class interesting, and he's just overall great!
Mr. Brown was possibly the easiest teacher I had since junior high. However, I also left his class knowing more than all of my other classes combined. His study guides were exactly what was on the test. Overall, he was a great teacher.
Mr Brown is AWesoem I've never met a cooler professor than him!! I took two classes with him, he keeps you awake and is real funny! He loves talking about his wife and drinking!! His test are super easy, you have to study , but just his study guide will help you!! I totally recommend him!!
Very nice guy. Easy to understand. Gives A LOT of worksheets and they are usually not easy. Will deduct points if you misspell or for bad grammar. His tests are almost identical with the study guide but definitely not easy (multiple choice, essay, fill in the blank, and match). Gives extra credit!
Mr. Brown was soo cool, he was a great teacher. I cant wait to take him for Ethics. He was funny and wanted us to get involved, he wanted to hear our opinions and thoughts, but was never judgmental about them.I wasnt ever bored in his class, and always felt like my opinions counted. Great Teacher!
Great teacher! Good guy, would totally recommend. Review guides are just like the tests. you don't have to read all the material and you'll still get an a. say at least one thing in each debate and you'll get an a. Overall, he's pretty easy. Also, study worksheets for the tests.
coolass teacher man
Awesome Professor! Nicest most organized guy you will ever meet. The class should be hard, however he makes everything so clear. DEf in my top three favorite professors I have had.
Mr. Brown was one of the best teachers that I have had so far. He made his class so intresting and he was also understanding and helped me when my grade was down by giving me lots of extra credit! HE'S AWSOME!

AWSOME!!!!!

he's so funny & a great teacher! if you're taking philosophy, pick him for your teacher
He's a really smart guy and he's got a lot of experience. He gives clear instructions and his tests aren't that bad either. He lets you know exactly what he expects. The class material was hard, but his instruction made the subject (world religions) a lot easier to understand.
MR brown is awesome teacher..thats all i have to say..
Stop looking Brown's your man. His classes are hilarious, he knows his stuff and overall his course is pretty easy. Take him. Period. Since there's more room I'll just say since his sections fill up fast if you can't get him, take Benson, as he is also an excellent philosophy teacher.
He is an awesome teacher!! He is very understanding and helpful. Everyone should take his class!
Mr. Brown is oh so very cool!If you need to take philosophy, he's the one! He is nice, fun,funny, and fair.
Mr.Brown is a great proffesor. His class was well organized and manageable. He is always willing to go an extra mile to help students. This particular class required work that was not extremely difficult but very much at students level. He is an excellent teacher who will give you an A if you try your best at everything.
my favorite teacher at harper
The best class ever, amazing teacher. EASY TESTS - he gives most of the questions for the test the week before! Super interesting and keeps you thinking the whole day. Mr. Brown is just an incredible person and teacher. He will give you the chance to improve if you ask him to and will help you with anything. You'll be missing if you don't take
Very nice prof, I liked that he always dressed in shirt & tie-classy! Very respectful of students & views. Awesome role model! Good amt of HW but this is where u make/break ur grade. Didn't go in too much depth on material but it is only PHI115. He really cares about his students, was always prepared & organized. Enjoyed class! Highly recommended.
Charlie Brown is the best teacher. I had him for ethics and learned a lot of new things. There are 4 tests that are easy if you study (I did it for 45 mins. and got A's). There is an interesting debate that's very laid back. He bought us pizza and is awesome!!! take him, you won't regret it.
Brown was awesome. He's really laid back and extremely clear. all of his class lectures and notes are written up in charts before he starts and then he fills them in throughout. VERY EASY to do well in his class if u pay attention and put in a normal amount of effort. assigns readings that arent too long but everything u read u go over in class so
He presents the material in a very organized manner. His notes and handouts are extermely helpful in tests. Very nice guy, loves what he does and is willing to help you out when you need it. I reccomend him if you're planning to take any PHI courses.
Take him for PHI 205... if you take anyone else you will be sorry... trust me...
This man is the best. Very laid back and class had great discussions about the topics. You hear both liberal and conservative sides and it's just a great class to have under your belt. 4 tests, one class debate = very easy stuff here. Tests, study and memorize what you're supposed to
Mr. brown is awesome teacher . He is the first person who taught about sikhism in any religion classes...he is great and extremely knowledgeable
He is a great teacher and seems to enjoy doing so. He has a great way of getting every one to understand what he is teaching
Mr. Brown is AWESOME! His class was very easy and fun! He keeps it alive by joking around. I never had to read any of his assigned readings, his study guides have 99.9% of the questions on the test, no surprises. his assignments are very easy to do as well. Mr. Brown is def. one of the best teachers at harper!! :)
This man is one of the best teachers i have ever had!
he is awsome!! seriously one of the best teachers at harper. his class is very easy and he always makes sure ur getting an A. if u get a D on tests and gives u a C and u jus make corrections. he does it for everyone
He is a great teacher. Lots of notes, but the notes give you everything you need. I have taken every class he teaches.
I took religions of the world and ethics classw/ Mr. Brown. Really, besides being a great teacher he is a great person. He is fun, nice, willing to challenge you, listen, and help you pass in any way he can. TAKE HIM! Take it from me, I'm a total slacker, I always looked forward to his class.
I took Ethics w/ him and it was great. He is a great teacher and great person. I really recommend him. He is fun and makes class interesting. Test are not hard because he gives you a study guide with all the questions in it. Only one short paper. TAKE HIM!!!
The easiest class i've taken at harper. easy A, good teacher
BY FAR THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY HISTORY OF HIGHER EDUCATION!!!
very smart. knows his stuff, and always want to help. very interesting class
Great professor. Intelligent, thought provoking, funny, and very respectful of all views. I had him for Philosophy of Religion, a very interesting class, highly recommend it. The tests are fairly easy, the homework isn't terribly often, and straightforward. If you get a class that actually talks and debates, you'll be glad you're taking his class.
Wow Mr. Brown is awesome! Best teacher I have ever had at Harper. You do need to study for tests but he is very clear what is on test. Go to class. I was never interested in philosophy until I took him. He is very passionate about his subject and is very funny. We discuss important issues going on in the world today and makes you love school.
Mr. Brown is seriously awesome. This is my first year at harper and he was my favorite teacher by far! Very funny, and is very passionate about what he teaches. He is a very easy grader, no major projects at all. He basically gives you the test on the study guide, he is very clear about what he wants. Great personality too!
Yeah Chackal is hot & cool but Brown is awesome!A really cool guy.You can tell he loves his job & has a great time teaching. Never have to read for homework because he tells you the chapter the next class. Theres a study guides that tells you what will be on the test and literally gives you the vocab words and the essay...HOW EASY!!! TAKE HIM!
Take him, you won't regrat!
He is THE great teacher. He is very good at teaching. His test are really easy. He gives us review before test. Take notes from that he gives in class and read his review for test and you will get A+..
Professor Brown is great! He is polite, extremely knowledgeable about what he teaches, always there to help you, and makes your life easier by giving you notes, offering extra credit, and giving you a study guide for the test. There are four tests, no quizzes, one page paper assignment, homework readings, and occasional short assignments. TAKE HIM!
Mr. brown is a great teacher! if u have the chance to take him no matter what type of student you are, u will be able to learn and do good in his class as long as u go and do the reading.
Best teacher I have ever had, take his class you will not regret it, if you go 2 most of the classes you will get a A +, interesting class topics and an easy A
Coolest Teacher. He is extremely funny, makes it fun to be in class. Take him!
Took Mr. Brown for Ethics 115 and got an A. By far the best teacher I have ever had. Have never taken a quiz in any of his classes. Show up to class and things will come easy. On review days, be there. The study guide is basically the exam and he gives you answers on test day. Also wrote me a letter of recommendation for another school.
I took Brown for Critical Thinking last semester and learned a lot. The tests won't be hard, as long as you study proficiently. Overall, Mr. Brown is probably the best teacher I've had so far at Harper.
Love Mr.Brown take his class you will not regret it. Go to class it's worth it, he gives you a study guide that literally is the test.Highly reccommend him!!!
He is a great teacher. U study his notes and handouts, its easy to get a good grade. He is so nice and friendly.
Not and "easy" A but it's not hard to get an A all you have to do is go to class and listen, read the book a little, but ALWAYS study the handouts..he picks questions from his handouts and puts them on the test
Mr. Brown is a wonderful teacher. He is passionate about Ethics and uses humor along the way. He is very clear about what he's looking for on the tests as long as you pay attention and do the homework.
Easy A, just go to class and take notes. For the test study the study guide and you will get an A. Overall an interesting class.
Mr. Brown is by far then nicest, most caring teacher at harper! Looove him.
great teacher, really interesting points. Hes very helpful. homework is easy enough just time consuming. his tests are easy as long as you study. He gives great study guides. You sign in everyday for attendence. Must buy books for assignments. Best teacher for this course, he doesnt take sides. very open minded.
hes my boy likes football and beer good ethics btw
Best teacher i have ever had. He is so helpful and easy to talk to, he makes you enjoy the class even if you aren't interested in it. He is an amazing teacher take him!
Mr. Brown is an incredible teacher. He makes the class a lot of fun! The book is super confusing, but when he talks about it, he makes things a lot clearer. The study guides he gives are super useful for the test, and despite what everyone says, I would still read the book because there are questions from it.
He's a great teacher, very nice, easy to talk to, and easy going. Buy the book becasue all info is taken from it for assignments and tests.
Mr. Brown is one of the best teachers at Harper. He wants his students to do well in his class and gives them every opportunity to do so. He's so nice and even gives study guides that are extremely helpful for the tests. He practically gives many answers! He's the best and I definitely recommend taking him.
Amazing teacher! Really makes you think about ethics. Easy to understand and I learned a whole lot! One in class presentation and 4 tests w/ multiple choice, T/F, and a few essay ?'s.
Mr. Brown is seriously one of the best professors at Harper and probably anywhere else. He has such a great sense of humor, which makes the class so fun. He wants his students to do so well and offers extra credit & study guides, which are super helpful for the tests. The book is difficult, but don't sweat it. Mr. Brown will make it clear!
best teacher ever. Easy going, funny, and easy to talk to. Tells students what is going to be on the tests
Mr. Brown is one of the best professors at Harper. He is so funny, cool, friendly, and make sure everyone understand. That's really nice. Yes, sure you will LOVE that class and take him.
Easy Going Class and a great Proffesor
I totally agree with those comments. I love him and he is so awesome. Mr. Brown is funny, friendly, and comedy. Trust me, you will love him. He is my top list for best teacher at Harper and even in the universe!!!
Mr. Brown is THE BEST TEACHER i've ever had, he is very outgoing, funny, and LOVES the bears! he is helpful and his test are very easy, read the chapters, go to class and take notes and you will be fine! he makes this class very interesting and fun to learn! loved him!
Mr. Brown is a great teacher. I have also taken PHI205 with him previously. The format of each class is similar. Three tests, a few small assignments, and participation points. He has a good sense of humor. I like his attitude. You can learn a lot from him. He is a very interesting guy. I would definitely take him again!
Amazing teacher; his handouts do a great job, and are really helpful during exams
I love mr.brown! Amazing teacher. This class in general was extremly hard but he helped with anything. I failed every test and he gives you a section to make up on every test which in turn brought my grade up to a B! He knows his stuff and is so funny! take his class you wont fail no matter what because he's always there to help you!
He is such a fantastic professor. He is witty, wise, fun, relaxed, and he is more concerened with the student learning rather than a student preparing for a test. his religions class was the most fun I've had in a class and I plan on taking more of his classes
Awesome professor and enriching class. His style of teaching is a rewarding passion in sharing his knowledge and his love of learning. 3 tests, 1 essay project, and his study guides are clearcut- not too demanding. Thoroughly enjoyed Phi 205, definitely recommend.
Great teacher. Tests and assignments were easy.
Mr. Brown is awesome! He's super easy and fun! Loves to have discussions and is open to new ideas. There are only 3 tests, the third test is the final(not cumulative). Study guides are very helpful. Participation and attendance are a good portion of your grade. Study notes and worksheets and you'll be golden!
Mr Brown is an amazing teacher. He is interesting to listen to. He teaches with a passion. You must show up to class since that is a big part of your grade as well as participation. Power points and reviews are pretty much the test itself.3 tests with 1 of those tests being the final. Very interesting class. You will like him! I recommend him :)
Hard teacher. do not take him!!! lots of homework. his explanation are not clear, he is kind of all over.
Mr. Brown is a great teacher. His classes are always interesting whether it is the topic or his stories. He tries to keep discussions going,which can get pretty interesting.He is very understanding with any situation. He's fair. His study guides are helpful and MOST def get you prepared for exams.Highly recommend his classes!ethics was fun too
Great person in general. He relates and helps everyone, from the know-it-alls to the class clown and still treats everyone the same. You will receive a great deal of knowledge and you won't have to put in much work. Sign up for this guys class immediately before they fill up! He's one of Harper's favorites.
This teacher seriously is just spectacular. I wish he taught other things so that I could take him over and over again.
Awesome professor, knows his stuff and makes sure everybody is on same page.. i didnt even care about philisophy until i took his class and now i plan on taking another one.. pick this dude as your professor...
Professor Browns class is so easy to pass! three tests including the final and a 1-2 page paper, attendance is a must and just participate, study off your lecture notes and you'll pass with an A . understanding about turning in late work and he likes to joke around a lot he's awesome!
Mr. Brown is a really nice guy, but his class is boring. He tries to make it fun, but he goes off on tangents everyday. He gives a lot of quizzes and worksheets but you can do them in groups. He also gives some extra credit, but if you don't show up to class and you don't participate often, your grade will suffer greatly.
Great teacher and a nice personality. Enjoyed his class and gives you the grade that you deserve. Straightforward, fun class.
Prof. Brown has a very humorous approach to Philosophy and you never want to miss a lecture (well you don't because attendance is mandatory). There isn't much to say that people haven't said already and this is why Prof. Brown's classes get filled early. Tests are easy and we go through the study guides in class.
A genuinely good person and teacher. So happy I took his course. He is extremely fair and all of his notes are clear. The course is more on the difficult side but he made it easy. Homework was always reading, but I rarely did so and still ended up with good grade. If anyone has the opportunity to take his courses, DO IT.
He's awesome! Mandatory attendance but very understanding to late work,readings are pointless you can use book for assignments or take notes or look off someone else 3exams(memorize study guide)1paper(2pg)or presentation, participate to make class fun mine never spoke, not a stressful course if you have a crazy schedule I got a B! Thanks Mr.Brown!
Best Teacher at Harper. :D His class was an eye opener! He plays videos and visual powerpoints that are short and simple. He gives study guides for the test with some of the exact question!! All in class work. I had to do homework about twice. He knows everybody by name and keep you laughing and smiling! :D Take him!!!!
He is soo helpful and he makes class interesting
He was my absolute favorite professor I have had at harper so far! He's absolutely hilarious and very informative. It was a very interesting class and we didn't have a lot of homework. Just study for the tests and participate and you'll get an A!
Prof. Brown is the goat. Yes, you do have to write a lot of papers and stuff, but he is a pretty easy grader which is encouraging to keep going. Class is very bearable
I literally keep recommending this professor to all my peers. This is the best professor I have had. He cares for the students, your understanding of the material, and you passing. I would love to take another lecture from him again in the future.
One of the best professors I've had. He genuinely cares about students' understanding and success. The class is manageable with the free textbook, and tools like Unstuck study were super helpful for study prep. Definitely recommend taking his lectures.
