This class is nothing like you'd expect. As an environmental science student I was looking forward to this class but it was a huge disappointment. There are way too many readings and the moral of each of them is the same which makes it difficult to write well on the papers and exams. Nice guy but tough grader for a course that was way too much work

Good professor but extremely hard marker. You have to attend class in order to make any sense of the readings as he doesn't use a textbook, just free readings on Nexus or through the library online. Doesn't really talk about ethics today, just how philosophers viewed nature through the years.

Dr. Araujo is a great lecturer. However, for an intro to soc course I feel like he's not teaching the foundations needed to really get a grasp of what exactly sociology is. He brings in big names to his assigned readings with little background, I wish I was learning about the different soc approaches before learning the protestant reformation?

Chris is a very genuine, knowledgeable ,and humble. Chris showed nothing but respect and equality to all. His classes are hard, lots of reading, and you need to show up to receive a good mark. Its worth it just to be taught and get to know this guy. He is a loud prof during his passionate lectures, so if you prefer a monotone prof don't choose him.

Christopher is a horrible professor. He doesn't even have a sociology degree and gives unclear assignments and makes his teaching assistants do all the grading. When I showed him their errors, he did not fix the problem. I filed a complaint against him and won. I'm shocked the university keeps hiring him. He must be friends with the chair or dean

genuinely cares and treats students like people not just students attending his class. the class is very lecture oriented since he doesn't upload anything on nexus, but his lectures are actually fun and interesting so going to class doesn't seem like a burden. plus he lets you make up for a grade if you need to. really cool guy too

I've taken intro philosophy and found it boring, but Chris had a way of making it engaging! He is passionate about his work and really puts effort into his teaching. Says he's a tough grader but i found his case studies and tests to be graded reasonably. Just read what is required and understand the concepts and you'll be golden. Great guy!

The lecture delivery is effortful resourceful and it shows his passion.He is helpful and understanding.Attendance was not recorded, but he only shared his slides in class, so you must create notes on the vast knowledge.Provides reading materials so you do not have to spend money.3-noncumulative tests(long answers/essays) based on lectures/readings.

This prof is an EXTREMELY hard marker and your entire grade is determined by tests. I would highly recommend avoiding him if possible. Yes, he is passionate but he does not care if you fail and you will only do well if you have at least a few years of prior knowledge in the subject.

Threatened me with expulsion because i had forgotten to include citations. Even though i included quotation marks and a bibliography. We then had a zoom call discussing it where he bragged about how many students hes expelled for plagiarism and how many international students hes sent back home. Worst professor i had in my 4 years.

Down to earth professor, knowledgeable and extremely passionate. Lectures are engaging and readings are not overwhelming. Available outside the class for extra conversation and extra credit. He wants students to succeed. Should be more than a contract professor, but I'm glad he's at UW. Worth meeting him.

If you can avoid him, please do! He tried to accuse me of plagiarism, and when I talked to him and showed him how I cited the work and paraphrased, he switched up and proceeded to just barely pass my papers and said it was too "wishy washy". He literally said in his own words that the philosopher's work we covered for said paper was wishy washy...

One of the best profs I've ever had! Although the content in all his classes is quite difficult, he makes it much more interesting and easier to digest. Lectures are always entertaining and informative, and he is always willing to help you if you don't understand anything. He cares about all his students and it shows in his teaching!

This professor is very passionate about what he teaches. He's strict about academic integrity which I respect. He is a tough grader and course content is challenging. There was no guidance for those new to philosophy and he seems like he shows favouritism. He's knowledgeable but be prepared to work hard.

I took Chris' introduction to philosophy class. It was my first class taken in a university and he is truly the most inspiring and talented professor. He brought a whole new meaning to life in his teachings and I could not recommend this class enough. The required readings are slightly challenging but he is extremely helpful and supportive.
