very intelligent teacher who really got me to like the subject. Class participation was high and overall class experience was great.

Spectacular professor. Passionate and interesting.

This guy is awesome, he really knows his stuff and he brings a great atmosphere to the classroom! This is a gen. ed. class, so if you don’t know what you want to take to fulfill the requirements then I recommend this class with this professor.

Awesome!

Blah blah

He is the best professor I have ever had, and I am taking a second class with him now. (I LOVE IT!). He presents the material in a way that is approachable even to a layman, but this does not degrade the quality of the educational experience. Very engaging classes and appropriately challenging work.

Anybody who needs to take an Ethics class take this man. He is the best teacher at NEIU

Dan is a GREAT guy, one of the best instructores at NEIU. Very interesting class, especially if you like to ingage in arguments and ugly discussions. I would recommend this guy to everyone.

Incredibly fun. He presents potentially boring material in a quirky and stimulating manner, gets the class involved!

best teacher ive ever had, amazing, fun, helpful, soooo intelligent, will change your life!!

Dan is the man. Take him for ethics and whatever else. - Two papers and a final - easy... He cares so much, perhaps too much, about YOU. One of the most open, curious people I've ever met...Oh, and let me just say, for all you ladies out there, he's hot... So yeah. do it.

he's just the best. really makes the material accessible and fun if you're not familiar with your Kants and Descartes. And if you are, its great stuff, with one smart dude.

best professor EVER! easy to listen to, class is ALWAYS interesting, you get out what you put in. not too strict at all but very clear on what he wants from you. truly an inspiring professor

Awesome teacher on of the best I had in NEIU. Funny and helpful, his explanations are very clear and modern. Although he is hard grader class is fun and I strongly recommend him.

Dr Milsky is a good man, tries to teach his classes in a fun way, if you are attending all the classes there is no way you are not going to pass. Very smart guy with lots of philosophical life experience, his lectures are funny and interesting. Strongly recommended professor.

Easily in the top 5 teachers I've ever had. Great knowledge and sense of humor. Kept the class interesting and made me look forward to attending. He got me to major in Philosophy. You're the best Milsky!

I'm taking my third class with him, and I'm not even a Philo major or minor! EVERYONE needs to take AT LEAST one class with Milsky. He has an amazing sense of humor, extremely intelligent, and you will walk away with so much knowledge... take Milksy... he will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Fall 2006. Grade was based on the finial, two major 4-page papers, and smaller writing assignments and various imput journals. You are responsible for readings. Attempt to attend every class though attendence is not mandatory he does take note who is there and if they are paying attention.

Best professor ever. Really funny guy, very passionate, and the class is easy. As long as you do the work you'll be fine...textbook is recommended but not essential for Intro to philosophy. Never a dull moment in the lectures or discussions, his words will change your life and make you question all kinds of things. I cant think of a single con.

Amazing professor. He is supposed to be offensive, and he will expose you to lots of new ideas and new ways of looking at the world. He will change your life.

Milski is an awesome teacher. He's really passionate, insightful and funny. However, he grades very harshly. It's almost impossible to break the 90% mark on a paper and it would take an act of God to get a 100%.

212b-medical ethics. milsky is great; his class is always interesting interactive & often hilarious. i noticed criticism of favoritism & offensiveness & pressume this is just a misinterprutation. ethical issues can be offensive & he simply appears friendlier to people who participate. a's ARE quite rare... but b's are such cake!

Really a clear teacher. He's pretty firm on what he wants, but he'll help you get there too. Really makes you thinks outside the box and lets you argue whatever way you want...

Presented difficult material in an understandable way. Five 2-4 double spaced papers, and a 6-8 Final paper. Two worst grades will be dropped (not including final paper). He?s sincere, funny, knowledgeable, and a good person. He doesn?t grade easy, but helpful. Lenient on the papers and attendance is not mandatory, but FAVORED. Influential class.

I've taken Ethics and Phil. of Sex with Dr. Milsky. Both classes were phenomenal. He is one of the few professors that everyone should take the the opportunity and privilege to learn from, and he will change your life. Taking classes with him is not just getting more credit hours, it's bettering yourself as a person. Milsky ROCKS!

this class was environmental ethics. i dont care much for the environment, however, the class was still fun. milsky is a great teacher and makes things interesting. this class was a bit tougher than medical ethics, then again it is a 300 level class.

Dr. Milsky is among the best profs at NEIU. Passionate, smart, accessible, and above all, fun! I highly recommend his classes!

Dr. Milsky is an excellent teacher. This class is ridiculously fun, and it's a great class for people who are very vocally opinionated. There was four papers, we were able to skip one, and one final paper with no tests. There is assigned reading everyday, but no other homework besides the papers. He was really helpful out of class.Excellent teacher

Dr. Milsky is by far and large the best professor I've ever had, EVER. He incites enthusiasm in the students, incorporates interesting and provocative materials into his syllabus, and is beyond helpful. He is always more than willing to help inside and out of the classroom. If you're interested in Philosophy, take his classes.

Class was fun. Tough grader.

Milsky is hilarious. I always look forward to coming to class. Time flies by in his class because it is NOT boring. There are no exams, only papers. Talk to him about your papers because he is really helpful and if you work hard you will get a satisfying grade. Overall, definitely not an easy A but I think this is a class everyone should take.

By far the best prof I have had so far. class is interesting all the time he is a really cool guy and I have learned so much this semester. He is a tough grader but thats only because he wants us to better ourselves. most real professor at NEIU and always down to help whenever. Take ethics with him !!

Considering how bigoted a lot of male philosophy professors tend to be, I was pleasantly surprised to see how often Milsky intertwined feminism into his lectures. I'm glad there's someone out there willing to discuss this and keep it in mind during discussions, as most of the boys in my class were complete idiots, he kept them under control lol.

Dr. Milsky was awesome. Taking his class was one of the best college experiences I have ever had. He is funny and he doesn't have a strict nature. His class has a lot of dialogue and your participation matters! Take him! He's good!

Three papers and a take-home midterm exam. He is a tough grader on papers, but he grades fairly at the end as he coaxes and rewards class participation. The lectures might offend at times, yet they will get your mind moving. Not a cakewalk class, but recommended nonetheless.

A lot of outside work will be required in this class. It's essay focused but a thoughtful, well reasoned, passionate essay can earn an A. Class participation is absolutely vital, but also rewarding. He wants students to show him that they care and are passionate. It would be a waste to take him and not be willing to give the class your all.

Best class I've taken at Northeastern. I had fun. I highly recommend. However, I like the subject of philosophy and can write papers. I think a lot of the bad ratings are from students who literally can not write. So if you are one of those students, maybe check out someone else who might have an easier rating. It's only 3 papers.

As long as you actively struggle with the concepts in class and in your writing, you can pass this class. Skim readings before class, read in depth while writing papers. It is difficult material, but not too much work to keep up with. I'd take any class taught by this professor for the entertaining sessions and manageable work-load.

Fun and hilarious guy. Also the class gets you to think, and touches on great topics. In order to do well, you NEED to read and understand relevant philosopher's ideas AND INCLUDE necessary vocabulary with explanations to do well on papers. He grades tough, but he wants to see that you read and understand the topics. Great class!

He's extremely knowledgable in the field, and if you're engaged it's not hard to pass. If you can think ethically, argue your POV, and make sense of the reading you need to do then you'll be fine. He's more than willing to help, like will repeatedly tell you to come to his office, so might as well. It only helps your grade.

This is my first philosophy class, Dr. Milsky is very caring teacher. I had no idea what philosophy was about. It's not an easy subject, but i did try and i showed him that i'm trying and he really helps students that are struggling but at least trying. he's great professor just show up to class and meet him in his office hours you will be fine.

Very interesting professor, would defiantly take him again. It's philosophy don't expect to get A from nothing , you need to work hard.

amazing professor, great lectures.

No philosophy class is ever "easy", and papers are needed to demonstrate knolwedge. Milsky is always available to talk with students, and to help those who are visibly trying. He is a very passionate professor and you can see he genuinely cares for his students. If you work hard, he'll reward you with the grade you deserve. One of best professors.

Milsky is awesome. Make sure to come to class, do the readings, participate in lecture, and go to office hours. Not an easy A, you have to put in the work, but it'll be worth it.

Even though the class was challenging, this professor does a great job helping students during class and during office hours

He was very passionate about the subject and loved participation from his students. He gives very inspirational and thorough lectures. Overall, very funny and down-to-earth professor. If you show him effort and give him thoughtful and clear responses in the assignments, you'll be good to go. I really enjoyed his summer 2018 Ethics course!

AWESOME

Dr. Milsky is by far the best professor I have ever had. You must take his classes, his lectures are extremely inspirational. I didn't know I had such a passion for Ethics until I took his classes. Not only do his lectures provide you with an education, they leave you with happy memories. He is informative and hysterical at the same time.

I took Honors Phil213 so I assume it was more challenging than phil213, but I loved this class. Content was interesting and discussions were great. He is great at answering your questions. He gives good feedback on papers and lets you do revisions. I got an A just by doing the work. Would recommend only if you like ethics.

I think hes a wonderful professor and I actually think that he was very fair with allowing different opinions in the classroom. He is hilarious and so entertaining. This sounds lame but I was actually kind of excited to go to this class. Highly recommend.

great

great talks a lot very helpful and give you feedback

Amazing professor, very easy to understand. He taught difficult topics so everyone could understand! The class was fun and entertaining, he really valued class participation in discussions. I took this class during the pandemic, so everything was over zoom but he still managed to make class fun and enjoyable. By far my favorite professor so far!!

Hes amazing. You gotta participate and put in effort like read and try understand the concepts. Philosophy is not my thing but he tried to help me understand. Take him and you wont regret it. Theres a midterm and final. A couple short papers here and there

AMAZING CLASS & PROFESSOR. Should be a requirement for EVERYONE. First you will look at different philosophical perspectives. Then, you will look at different ethical issues. Finally, you will apply your own views and perspectives you learned to the issues. Ultimately the goal is internal consistency in one's own morality views matching actions!

Hands down, the best professor I've ever had. After taking this class, you will transform into a more enlightened individual. I enjoyed attending his class, not only because of his funny and eye-opening lectures, but also the dynamic of the class. Students genuinely enjoyed voicing their thoughts. Essay topics are hard, but I enjoyed writing them.

Milsky is one of the best profs I've ever had. He is understanding and very accessible outside of class. It takes a bit of time to understand his sense of humor. He cares deeply for his students and for the subjects he teaches. His high level courses are much easier than his lower level ones. Do the work, show up, and participate, and you'll pass.

Very funny and caring, but expects you to care about the work your doing.

Dr Milsky is a great professor, I honestly really liked his class. He had a great way of explaining extremely complex and long philosophical and ethical ideas and he had a great sense of humor, that helped him explain these ideas. Recommend this class a lot.

He's great however you don't show up to lectures you're going to miss topics. Also if you can't remember terminology then the highest you can get on the exams (3) is a C. Sometimes he lets you choose terms or another essay which isn't too bad. Recommend if you actually show up to class.

He is one of the most caring professors you will ever find ANYWHERE. Once you hit the higher level courses he lets you write about pretty much whatever you want to, as long as you can argue it. He listens to student input and can be persuaded to change his mind on things if you can explain your reasoning. I can't recommend him enough!

Caring and passionate about what he does, his classes are always interesting to go to. If you pay attention to his lectures and read the texts he assigns, you should be ok, just don't miss class. Only 3 essays to be graded from, but he provides extra credit. Overall great professor. If you're a good writer, I recommend his class.
