Take him during the winter session, he would let us out 2 hours early almost everyday! Hes easy, just do the homework and its an easy B

hes a funny guy. Class is entertaining. His tests are fair and his occasional hw questions are easy points. just put out a fair amount of effort and youll get a good grade

Had him during the winter session and he made it worth it. Do the assigned work and you should be ok. Some people really like him, but he can be offensive. Overall I though he was a trip!

Funny. Good teacher overall..Likes to crack jokes but overall easy teacher.....

Says he teaches to help people and seemed to want to help you think clearly. He challenges your beliefs, so some people might get offended.

This guy is a little crazy, but smart as hell. His humor is dry and his slideshows are corny, but he is always willing to help. No need to go to class, unless you are in college to learn something! In other words, if you are stupid, don't bother coming (you can still get an A), because you will be slowing the whole class down.

EASY A!

Easy A for sure! Nice guy... kinda cheesy, really dry humor. All in all pretty decent course.

wallis is hilarious. the class itself is pretty boring but he's pretty easy and he keeps everybody laughing. i thought i had a B but he gave me an A with almost no work outside of class. take him

Smart, lectures on web, review questions, practice tests

Class is boring. He knows his stuff but cant teach it very well. Talks to himself during lectures alot. Has practice tests and lectures online. Self taught with little help from small study session, which was mandatory. Easy i guess.

He's a really nice guy, always answers all your questions. Always cracking jokes in class. All lectures are posted online, you don't need the textbook. Material is sometimes hard to follow so I would recommend attending the small group discussions. Practice tests make studying for the tests so much easier!

Boring lectures, but can get funny at times. The class is very easy, just go to class and study off the practice questions for the tests. That is practically the test!!

NO TEXTBOOK. All lectures are online. There are weekly hw online, but he gives out a lot of extra credit. Attend Friday classes, or you will fail. Tests questions are online, but out of 10 questions, he pick 4, so you don't know which question he is asking. All his tests are ESSAY questions. He is a funny and likeable guy. =)

The lecture slides are online, and I never went to class, only the review sessions and got an A. He is very helpful through email, and with a moderate amount of studying you'll do great!

Funny. Has lots of help for students: slides online, study questions, practice test questions, lecture outlines, summaries of important concepts. You won't do well in this class if you don't want to read or think.

the class was very enjoyable. he is funny and wants people to enjoy the class. lectures are not mandatory but small groups are. he posts his lectures online and they are straight forward and usually include everything you will need to know. don't buy a textbook, it's pointless and not required. homework is pretty easy. tests are difficult if you don't study, but they are straight from the lecture.

Took class during summer and it was ez. Bought the book and only use it to do HW. Test pretty much ez. He gives you past test. I just study those and got A's. He is a funny teach whom pick on every1 during class and make fun of them.

He is so confusing in lecture. You must sit in front of the class to fully understand what he is saying. He tends to ramble on, but read the readings beforehand and it will help you understand what he is lecturing about. Always attend GA activity help. GA's and study sessions are the ones that will help you pass the class.

you dont really need to attend class. take advantage of the fact that he puts the lectures and study questions with answers online. the tests are essays. I didnt think it was too hard, but it definitely requires a lot of studying the night before the test. Attend the GA class, they pretty much give you the questions and answers to the test.

WELL HE WAS FUN BUT STILL BORING

He is smart, intelligent and awesome :) His lecture notes are well prepared and he's frequently updated his notes before each class. Take his class! His class is actually not that harsh.

This is by no means an easy class, but a very fulfilling one. Lecture style is a bit different (presented as a dialogue between the philosopher and usually a cartoon character). Attendance technically isn't mandatory, but you probably can't pass without it. The GA meetings on Fridays are EXTREMELY helpful. Very funny, sometimes unclear.

Hard material but he tries to help. Provides all lectures online, many questions to study from, will answer any questions at his office hours (will even stay late). The tests are straight from the lectures and reading online (no textbook) and are 3 questions in essay format. Attendance counts towards grade but doesn't check everyday. Very dry humor and sarcastic. Overall I recommend him if you are willing to think and study hard with good effort.

He lectures and you leave. Take good notes and go to the study sessions before tests, they are very helpful. He puts up study guides, sample tests, and homework on beach board so check it regularly because as you well know profs wont tell you when something is due. Four tests total three questions each short answers be specific give examples. Easy.

Hard material to understand and talks in circles during his power points. Attendance required for 10% of grade but optional textbook (you don't need it). Provides many study questions and they really help. He posts his lectures online which is useful to study with. Gives homework once a week which add up and offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. He words his examples very lengthy and wordy so you need to break them down. 4 tests all with 3 questions in essay format. Hard grader. Got a B.

He's a lot to handle. This class takes severe dedication. Go to class & sit close. There's weekly homework but tons of extra credit! He has review sessions before exam days- go to them! The GA's do grade really tough. Take advantage of the practice essay questions & lecture slides he posts online!! Got an A so I know what I'm talking about.

Hated this class at first. Lectures were boring, couldn't understand his teaching method. Eventually, I realized he actually cared about his students' educations. Gave us extra credit to boost our grades, made sure we understood material. Overall, good teacher. Learned a lot, class became my favorite and now I really enjoy logic. MUST STUDY!

He's very funny and interesting! He can be negative at times, but he keeps class fun. The homework is easy and he gives a lot of extra credit. No need for the book but it's veryyyy helpful! I recommend him he's very nice but at times cynical. Easiest class in college so far.

Mr. Wallis knows a lot about politics and at times funny. Boring lectures but he happily answers questions if you don't understand the material. Sign-in sheets for attendance. Three tests and a final. He provides extra credit, which boosts your test scores. He informed the class when the trustees raised our tuition fees, showing he actually cares.

Professor Wallis doesn't only prepare you for critical thinking, he prepares you for life. Every lesson I learned in the class has proven useful. The class can be a little boring at times, but he's willing to lighten the mood and is pretty funny. Go to his office hours and do the extra credit. Textbook is not needed at all to secure an A.Take HIM!

He's a really nice and helpful guy. Gives you A LOT of extra credit and if you don't do it, that's on you. He's pretty easy, you just have to study it. I slacked off the entire semester and did most of the extra credit. He had review sessions for the final test and I ended up going from a Fail to a C! He has a sense of humor, so that helps.

I thought he was really easy! I enjoyed going to class. He made it fun and yes he would get off topic but he would help you with every little problem you had and he would do study sessions before each exams, which helps. I would recommend him!!! He made everything easy to understand and its also a good idea to read the book.

His lectures are INCREDIBLY long and boring. He is very helpful and has extra (optional) classes to review before tests and also gives out practice tests for extra credit that are almost identical to the test. It is pretty easy to pass this class but it is awfully boring to sit through his lectures. I would recommend this class for an easy pass.

Don't get me wrong, I'll tell you right off the bat that this glass is tough. Philosophy in general is a tough class. I loved Wallis though. He's kind of a dry sarcastic guy, but he cares. If you go to the reviews before test and ASK for help, you will pass. I can genuinely say I learned a lot.

His class is not a tough class to pass but definitely challenges your thoughts on philosophy. He challenges us as students while keeping the lectures light and humorous.

Wallis is a great professor and goes out of his way to help students. Although philosophy in general may be challenging, Wallis provides many resources to study from (past exams, review sessions, EC practice)and his exams are based on the homework and lectures. His lectures may seem all over the place at first, but they're easy to get used to.

1st couple classes seem horrible but don't worry. Takes time to learn his teaching style&go2 to class to get the material -dont try to learn on your own,attendance is all it takes. He's gone through a lot in his past&even so he's a very humble,caring professor w/a unique but hilarious sense of humor. Hands down 1 of my favorite instructors ever.

Wallis is so funny and passionate! This class can be an easy A, but you better do all the homework/extra credit/study really hard for the NINE tests!

There are 7 test that are worth 70% of your grade. The first two are only worth 5% total and the 3rd is worth 9%, so the more important ones are tests 4-7 which are 14% each. Attendance is 10% and HW is 20%. He gives out tons of extra credit, do them all. Just study for the tests, go to class, go to his review sessions, do Hw, and do all extra cred

7 exams, 15 homework assignments, and 10 random attendance checks. His practice exams look exactly like his actual exams and he gives a lot of extra credit. His lectures are boring but he's caring and understanding.

Wallis is an expert on cognitive science and the philosophy of mind and is an excellent resource and an interesting lecturer. However, this was the cause of an issue. Put simply, his work is too advanced for a semester class for undergrads. The writings are stellar but challenging. Overall, expect to pass, don't expect to become an expert yourself.

He's very intelligent! So much so his readings are hard to understand. Interesting lectures, but in order to really understand the material you must pay attention in class. There are quizzes every week on the chapters you should have read the week before, to save you time from reading 50+ page chapters go to lecture and pay attention!

The lectures were very heavy in information and sometimes monotonous. Although the textbook was not required, it became very helpful in understanding the content of the lectures. Wallis randomly takes attendance throughout the semester. He gives a lot of resources and offers a lot of help to do the exams. He posts previous tests which helped a lot.

Professor Wallis is super chill but the material of his class is very difficult to understand. I think I'm the only one who thought he was funny, but he makes good jokes from time to time. His lectures are kinda boring still. Lots of extra credit opportunity and not a lot of homework/exams. Do the homework or you will not pass. No midterm or final.

You can genuinely tell Dr. Wallis loves to teach. He's extremely caring and understanding and will try his best to help you succeed/pass! There's a lot of extra credit for this class so take advantage of it, but you HAVE to read and watch through his video lectures. Don't take this class if you're not willing to work for your grade.

Don't take if you're not willing to work for it. The professor himself is amazing, the concept itself is hard. I'd say focus more on lectures rather than reading. If he makes any mistakes just email him. Super understanding and cares for his student. Check for mistakes in test just in case,he's dyslexic so he may be mistaken. Down to earth!Take EC!

I have nothing against Mr. Wallis, I just prefer in person classes so the format was what I struggled with the most. None of the classes are mandatory and the whole course is basically asynchronous. He is always available during office hours though! I would suggest to take advantage of the extra credit assignments, and manage your time accordingly!

lectures are hard to follow. Very long weekly reading assignments. 15 homework assignments,7 tests,14 extra credit opportunities, and 5 participation. The content for most tests was hard to grasp, but he does well at giving extra credit and additional support individually. He will also work with your situation. very kind, understanding person.

The textbook wasn't really necessary I'm glad I never bought it. Very accessible during office hours. There are short 10-question weekly quizzes with optional extra credit, one short midterm paper answering prompt questions, and a final with the same structure as the midterm. The quizzes have very very dense jargon so take your time.
