He is very boring and hard to understand. Did not like him at all and I'm not very critical of profs. He is rigid about EVERYTHING and keeps you in class the FULL time (even for night classes) whether or not you have work to do.

Yep definatly has his favorites, my friend missed a whole bunch of classes and got a "b" while I didn't miss any and got a "d" what the****?! Please avoid him!

I had an A going into the final which was only worth 20% of my grade, had I got a 0% on the final the lowest grade I could have gotten was an 80% somehow after making him mad I ended up with a lower grade than that...interesting

Innes manages to cause one to wonder about their choice of major as the fear of having other professors like him sets in. He falls far short of inspiring and does little to encourage real thought within his courses. Be prepared to reword and nearly plagiarize the text and his lectures to gain a decent grade. He is inarticulate with a personality

Was one of the worst professors I have ever had... So bad I dont even want to take the time to spell out his flaws.

Sketchy syllabus and has favorites. You will have no idea what he is requiring when you are turning in your work because he is not clear at all. If you like clear direction and instruction, do not take his class.

Although the course material is overall useful, Prof. Innes does not present it in a very interesting manner. He is not an encouraging professor, and instead he intimidates his students. He's wrong. He barely follows the textbook, it's hard to figure out what he wants or which answers he's looking for .

Professor Innes is very dull, the course material was very dull, overall felt like a waste of time. As long as you attend class and turn everything in on time you will pass, he doesn't read anything you submit. Which means the TWO sets of "journals" and the long essay we had to submit were a big fat waste of time…

Very disappointed, he expected far too much work, I had to drop because of all the hours I was spending working on his 10 point assignments. Lectures were made with terrible webcam and mic. Way too much to do, and didnt give the due dates, just said due tuesday. Fell behind in first week, would not recommend.

One of the worst classes I've ever taken. He is confusing and doesn't tell you anything clearly. Couldn't seem less interested if you actually try to be engaged in the material. Avoid at all costs.

This was by far the worst professor I have ever had. If you're a female be prepared for all the extra attention you could receive in a class. If you're a male be prepared to be ignored and not helped. Lastly he is not nice. This is my third year at BSU so I have had the opportunity to see better professors and get the education I payed for.

Lazy, boring, and a terrible teacher. Granted he never actually reads the homework apart from the midterm.

He is more focused on flirting with female students than teaching. Inappropriate attention.

Took the class online and it was absolutely a junk show. Appears to have not internet literacy. I seemed to me that he tried to make the assignment confusing to find when due. The entire blackboard page was poorly organized. Seemed to have too high of expectations for a 100 level class.

Do not take this online. Assigns a ridiculous amount of work, 4000+ words MIN worth of assignments a week and that's not including the essays. Timed quiz and essay every week. Lazy copy-pasted responses and frustratingly vague responses to questions. Typos and errors everywhere. I don't know if this class is different in-person, I hope it is.

When asked a question through email about how he wants an assignment done he simply responds ask in class. Gives incorrect pages to read for assignments on blackboard. Also girls expect a lot of attention. His eyes will be glued to you. Doesn't really answer questions posed to him even simple explanation ones. Instead gives some roundabout answer.

Innes doesn't instruct the class for a majority of the time. Expect to watch a lot of TV that rarely pertains to the class. You have to print off the exams and then you can't write on the papers you printed. Is rarely accessible outside of class and in class he doesn't listen to his students questions or gives even more confusing answers to them.

He gave me the exact same copy paste message for feedback on all of my assignments, projects, and even exams. He's impossible to get any kind of response from outside of class. The couple times I went to his office hours he wasn't there and left no way of knowing when he'd be back.

Worst professor ever. Avoid at all costs!

This teacher is difficult to understand and struggles to answer question. Difficult to learn and difficult to follow class structure. Lots of homework I would avoid this professor at all costs.

This guy is crazy. He lectures the whole class and asks very unrealistic questions. The "required text" is a book written by him. It sucks that this class is a required elective because he also said "this is philosophy we won't actually learn anything in this class". Weekly assignments, easy A, and the biggest waste of time ever.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE. There is so much useless busy work and it can be super overwhelming. The reading questions take 3 hours to complete and theyre only worth 10 points. Multiple essays due every week and a pointless journal between you and the professor. The textbook is super confusing too. Good luck if you have to take him online.

Textbook written by the professor is one of the most poorly written things I've ever read. Questions and answers on tests and in readings are almost illegible and very confusing. Expects a lot of work from students -- weekly essays, reading assignments that take hours -- but gives little feedback or any actual teaching (this was an online class).

Please do not take this class. It was extremely work heavy, terribly organized, and confusing because of all the misplaced / misspelled words in the directions. He never replies to anyone's questions or gives feedback. And the textbook wasn't that great at explaining the material.

This was by far the worse professor I ever had. The textbook for this course was written by the professor. The organization of the text was confusing and the actual content was contradictory and poorly proofread. In the first week of the course, he wanted a lengthy essay on top of a test. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I dropped the course.

Prepare to write 3,000-6,000 words a week, only to get a copy&paste response riddled with misspellings. He clearly doesn't read through assignments (or his own textbook for that matter). All that effort you put into assignments is not reciprocated in his grading. If you ask a question, don't expect an answer. Worst professor in my 4 years @ BSU.

Spends most all class lecturing and is incredibly boring to listen to. Likes to hear himself talk I think. Assigns a ridiculous amount of homework for a 100 level class and doesn't even read what you turn in. Super disorganized as well and made a 100 level class stressful for no reason. A total mess. Highly recommend against.

His textbook is not refined, and is a pain to read. It is basically a money grab because it was not well written. Professor is not giving or understanding, and to be honest was one of the worst professors I have ever had. Lives a sad philosopher life, and doesn't understand that his way isnt the best way.

This Professor was the WORST I have encountered. Assignments are unclear, grading is arbitrary. This class is not to learn and be exposed to philosophy, if you want that there are plenty of YouTube lectures and other online resources that will enlighten you. Mr. Innes is a self-important, wind bag who forces you to buy his own book.

DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS PROF. ESPECIALLY if you like Philosophy. He makes you buy a textbook he wrote, which is the worst book on philosophy I've ever read. He often is just wrong in presenting concepts, uses unnecessarily complex language, and obscures rather than elucidating. You will write SO much, and he doesn't read it. Fire this man.

Imagine the worst and hardest-to-navigate online class ever and you are imagining PHIL102 with Professor Innes. I did not think it would be as bad as the reviews. It was.

By far the most demanding course I've taken, and it's a 100-level class. The professor requires you to buy his own textbook and accuses students of using outside sources unfairly. I feel like AI grades our work, given the excess of errors. Expect 3,000+ words of writing weekly. The structure is lazy, and the workload is excessive with no break.

If taking his 7-week course, prepare to write approximately 5,000 words weekly. This volume of the workload feels highly disproportionate to the average 100-level course at BSU. Additionally, the sole source of course material is a textbook written by Innes, which I feel limits the scope of philosophical exploration as opposed to nurturing it.
