Professor Gray is so engaging, he always makes jokes and is such a bright, caring professor. He makes philosophy really fun and easy to understand. He offers opportunities for free passes which you can use to extend a deadline or drop a grade. His class is very organized so nothing is too confusing that you can't ask about. Def take his class!!!

Yes, there is substantial amount of homework and tests in this class, but professor gray is a once in a lifetime professor. He truly cares for his students and just loves teaching. Every lecture was a recording of him talking to his students like we were his friends. If you get a chance to take Professor Gray, do it.

One of the best teachers at UB and the funniest one I've had so far despite learning from him in an online format. He was always really helpful during office hours. Sure there can be a bit of work and writing multiple paged essays can be annoying("well when is it not, plus its expected of a philosphy course"), but in the end you won't regret it.

Professor Gray is the best. Cant say enough nice things about him. He really wants to see his students succeed and will go out of his way for you. You can tell that he loves teaching. Great lectures. Great guy. Taught me a lot.

Professor Gray is a fun professor. His lectures are always entertaining and educational and participation on Twitter is really fun and engaging. There are many grades and opportunities to improve your grade. It is always fun and exciting to see what will happen in the next lecture. 10/10 recommend

Overall Professor Gray was very engaging, you can tell through the lectures that he really cares about educating his students. Throughout the course I never felt overwhelmed, there are multiple opportunities to make up for small mistakes or missed deadlines. This course was challenging at times but the information presented was very interesting.

Professor Gray is great. He is very nice and cares about the students, as well as the material. Not only that, PHI 353 was an awesome class that is actually useful. The workload isn't too bad; less than most courses, but not a course you can do nothing for. Attendance is mandatory (6 or more is a automatic F).

Prof Gray is one of the most enthusiastic professors I've had at my entire time at UB overall. He is THE best ethics professor I have had. The amount of material can be a little daunting, but you have time to make up work past the due date. I highly recommend having him as a professor if it's possible!

Nice person

Writing assignments were a bit tedious but with the amount of feedback given you'll be able to get credit for the assignment. Gray is very fair when it comes to trying to help everyone pass, the only thing he isn't flexible in is the attendance policy. Miss 6 classes auto fail. If you go to class and take good notes, you dont need to go to class

One of the best professors I have ever had at UB. Makes every lecture/video entertaining and exciting to watch.

The best class I had this semester! This class was very thorough and easy. You know exactly what is expected of you throughout the semester. He gives weekly updates with what you need to do for that week. He is very responsive to any emails you send to him and you get exam grades back pretty quickly too! I would definitely recommend this professor!

Entertaining.

Amazing. I took his (Intro to Ethics) course virtually and he made a website for us that was great. There are readings that are useful but I watched the videos he posted and those have just about everything you need. No matter what, you need to take notes. Notes are king. Tests are open note so you'll want to have those to help yourself out

Professor Gray was very helpful and thoughtful, he made sure that we were able to fully understand the material necessary for doing well in this course.

The Twitter thing can get a little annoying since its so easy to forget but overall this is a good class. If you go into it with an open mind it should be okay

An energetic professor that really makes class enjoyable. PHI 341 was graded solely on assignments. We'd have weekly writing assignments which consisted of PRECISELY summarizing an author's argument, etc... The rest of the grade was tweets, which determined the +/- grade. Overall class wasn't too difficult and material/prof was engaging.

Really great Prof, helped me catch-up in the class without judgement. Does tend to reuse joke material though lol

Professor Gray is by far the best professor I have had at UB. He is super awesome and his lectures are super engaging and help make the course content for PHI107 very easy to understand and genuinely interesting. Take this class.

The best professor I have ever had! So many opportunities to better your grade. His lectures are very interesting and keep you engaged. So nice to have a professor who loves what they teach!

Great Professor and I think the most organized I have ever seen a class. He is very tech savy and can help you out with any problem you have in a matter of seconds. There are 700 word papers (about yourself) and 500 word papers (which answer questions) and there are about 17-20 total and they aren't very thought provoking. Definitely take!!!!!!!!!

may be the best phi prof at ub

He was one of the few professors that care about the students as individuals. The material was overall interesting. However, when it wasn't, he taught it in a way where it seemed interesting.

My favorite professor at UB

This professor requires a lot of writing, but a good portion of it is reflective work. I will say that if you plan on missing a good amount of class, Professor Gray's class is probably not for you. There are multiple opportunities for extra credit along with a great learning environment.

Only con is the workload. The modules can get pretty touch to sit through & especially on test weeks, we should only have to focus on the test, but instead the test is just added on to all of our normal weekly work. But, aside from that, great professor, drops a lot of grades, works with you, gives extra credit, etc. Just be prepared for the work.

Gray cares about students over anything. He adjusted the grading scheme several times to accommodate the students. Everyone in my class passed. Free passes are life saver. Can redo foundation assignments until we pass. Tweeting can be annoying but an easy grade if you do it. Heavy reading but not hard. Just show up and participate in discussion!

Professor Gray made learning through online lectures very fun. You can tell he put a lot of effort into editing the videos that he posted, and he made watching the videos very enjoyable. You should do well on the exams if you take the time to watch the lecture videos, take notes, and do the readings that he suggests.

The BEST professor I've had at UB so far. I would take this class again just for Professor Gray. He made the boring subjects way more interesting in the lectures and made it easier to learn the material. Outside of assignments, he was really understanding and nice about any situation and was always respectful which I admire. Very sad it's ending:(

Go to class meetings, read papers twice, and take notes. The notes you take in class will definitely help you with the assigned papers.

I really enjoyed this class a lot! Professor Gray made class feel fun and engaging. Thank you so much Professor and I look forward to take your other class in the fall!

This class did take up ALOT of my time with the module videos and assignments combination but luckily Prof Gray is VERY forgiving. VERY understanding & NON judgmental. I do go through a lot of medical issues this semester, but he has automatic extensions built in for when life happens. He's halirous and very personable & lowkey would be friends IRL

fun snazzy class

Professor Gray was one of my favorite undergraduate professors I've ever had. Although I was only able to take an online class with him, I really wish I had the chance in previous semesters to take more classes with him. Professor Gray brings a great attitude to each and every class and serves as an inspiration for anyone liking Philosophy.

One of the best professors I've had at UB. He is a great guy and truly hopes you learn and do well.

Professor Gray is an outstanding instructor. He is very enthusiastic about the course, and presents the material in an organized way. His lectures are engaging and interesting. It is clear that Professor Gray cares about his students and wants them to succeed, and he is very understanding and caring.

Prof. Gray is enthusiastic with his lectures! Attendance is required, but the classes are engaging and fun. I enjoyed every single class. The material can be challenging, but we have good discussions with our classmates in small groups and all together. The assignments are well paced. Reading is a lot but not unmanageable. On average 50 pgs/wk

Professor Gray makes the lectures funny and entertaining to watch compared to other instructors who make classes extremely boring and unbearable.

Truly an inspirational class. Assignments that are actually helping us learn step by step. About 20 30 pages reading for every class. Grades are easy to get if you follow the criteria. Classes are entertaining and easy to understand. Won't regret taking it.

If your looking for a fun, personable, & informative professor you can stop looking Professor Grays your man. The lectures are entertaining, quizzes are short and reinforce what you need to know, & tests have clear grading crit. & are designed so you can interpret the ethical theories your way in a practical since even asking your own opinion.

Overall great prof, very understanding when you reach out to him will help you with whatever you need. Contacts you when you have not submitted work 100% recommend taking

He genuinely cares that you know and understand the material, and will adjust accordingly to ensure this happens. He is always prepared to answer questions and help, so don't be shy to ask! You can see how much effort is put into this class, and it pays off. There is a sizeable workload, but the class is so enjoyable that it's a breeze to complete

Amazing professor

Great Prof but unusual.

I've never seen a professor put more effort in module videos and overall the course itself. I can tell Professor Gray cares more about the students than their grade itself, How I wish he is the one teaching all my other classes instead :(

Consists of quizzes within lectures and module quizzes at the end of each module.

One of the best Professors. Presents material very clearly. Very engaging. Put in the work and you will succeed.

He was a funny teacher.

Has free passes for doing well in the course! Love this system... rewards you for working hard!

Professor Gray is one of the most considerate professors I have ever come across. One thing that really stuck with me while taking his class is when he encouraged us to make one big mistake during the semester. He did this because he wanted to dissolve the stigmatism around messing up, urging us to learn from our experiences. He truly cared for us.

Prof. Gray is very captivating. Definitely cooky, but also super cool. He presents the material not only in a way that makes sense but also in a way that allows the student to think original thoughts. He makes you tweet on twitter for part of your grade, which kind of sucks. Overall though, he is a great professor.

Took PHI342 and it's an easy enough class if you do the reading. Your grade is based on the completion of 8 assignments so getting an A is really simple. Professor Gray has enough energy at 9 in the morning for the entire class. Fun class.

Have taken several classes with Dr. Gray and I wish I could take more.

The class is extremely difficult, as it revolves almost entirely around a single group project. That said, Professor Gray's organization of the course is fantastic. He does everything he can to make sure the project is compelling, manageable, and involved, and I've never learned more in any other class!

Professor Gray is an extremely energetic and enthusiastic professor! The course grading structure is the most generous I've ever seen, and the assignments are all very manageable. Best 9AM class I could ask for.

The best philosophy professor this school has! Super passionate about what he's teaching, and is really clear in his lectures. I've taken 4 of his classes, took them every chance I could. This class was based on papers that were a little confusing to understand in the beginning but as you go on, you get the hang of them.

Dr. Gray is a passionate, and straightforward teacher. He has sets of rules that must be followed, and holds academic integrity very highly, but if you were ever in a hard situation there's no doubt he'd be happy to help you out with reasonable accommodations. Classes of his are discussion heavy, and you must be able to back up your positions.

This is a very hands on course where a good half of the semester we are working on our group project to "make the world better." Dr. Gray is very passionate with what we do and is very responsive with ant questions we may have from our project. It is a cool class to take and is definitely something to brag about after we're done.

Very good Professor. He is very straightforward and will be accommodating if you come to him with ample time. Do your work on time and do the class readings and you'll do just fine. Definitely be prepared to participate in lectures.

I've gotten more out of this class than any other class. Super engaging and rewarding and Professor Gray is extremely passionate about the project's mission to make the world a better place. Definitely the best class I've taken at UB highly recommend

He will genuinely try to help you, and organizes his knowledge very well! Highly recommend this professor.

Amazing professor, he really cares about his students. Our group capstone project was one of the best projects that I have ever completed. Couldn't have gone any better.

The most interesting class that I have taken and one that I got a lot out of! Professor Gray cares about his students and is easy to communicate with. This class had a lot of components that made it fun and got me ready for the future.

Great class, great professor. Really enjoyed my time with Dr. Gray, disappointed that this is the last class of his I am able to take. Highly recommended!

Professor Gray is one of the best professors you will have. He is super passionate about the work he does and is very caring toward his students. This class in particular was extremely rewarding. Though it was a lot of work, I would highly recommend it.

Professor Gray is a great teacher, 10/10 would recommend taking his classes. Lectures are entertaining, and he is a very fair grader. He does everything he can to help his students succeed!

super enthusiastic about teaching!! love his chaotic energy

Genuinely one of the best professors I have had at UB. I know pretty much all of his students would agree. I have taken several of his classes, and I honestly have no idea why anyone would complain about him. He is such a fun, chaotic person and very understanding as well. He gives you a fair amount of work. I HIGHLY recommend taking his class.

Professor gray is a great professor, very enthusiastic about the class, nice guy. the workload is out of this world and long written tests every other week. this class stresses me out a lot but his positive attitude makes it not so bad.

amazing ! Wish all professors were like this. So many extra credit opportunities and lectures are actually very interesting. Makes philosophy very enjoyable. The stones he gives out to push back due dates and the grace periods are life savors for us college students who have other priorities. very low stress class. 1000/10 professor !

Great professor, cares about the material and his students. There's 8 fairly easy homework assignment that can be repeated. No exams, lost of discussion in class.

Enthusiastic Teacher and interesting lectures. Grading criteria is very fair.

He is such an amazing professor! The lectures are truly great and engaging and he offers a lot of extra credit to boost your grade. If given the chance, take his class because he's amazing.

Pretty chill dude. Read posted online readings, it will be helpful. Gives a fair amount of work, however, the work can sometimes get a bit hefty.

This guy is awesome. He gives you every opportunity to pass with the specs grading and free passes. And if you're a bit shy, like me, or a dumbass, like me, you'll be pleased to know that he doesn't do cold calling so you can not speak a word the entire semester, except to the person sitting behind beside you.

very easy class. great professor

Professor Gray is amazing at what he does! His easygoing attitude and enthusiastic approach can be clearly seen in EVERY lecture video. He is quick to respond to your emails and is constantly sending reminders out. He allows you to make mistakes and be able to learn from them by allowing redos. Professor Gray's class is a 100/10 must-take course!

Professor Gray is one of the best professors I have ever had. He was always willing to help and always was happy to teach in class. Overall his presence in class makes the class go so easy.

Absolutely amazing Professor, no regrets whatsoever with taking this course. Highly compatible, and very sustainable workload. All I can say is.. I hope you like Hot Cheetos. You'll have to take this course to find out why!

David Gray's class can serve as a respite if you're taking other 300-level courses. Readings are a breeze. Twelve 500-word negotiation preps (most can be skipped if you earn enough participation points), and nine 750-word self-reflection assignments (write as if they're your personal diary). Be active in class -- you may make a friend.

Professor Gray is very talented and organized in giving intriguing lectures. He works hard for the course and prepares very interesting work for students. There is a lot of writing for the class, but Professor Gray is fair in grading and formats it to allow for "having bad days". My favorite out-of-major class at UB.

PHI 107 had very clear guidelines on how the class was going to be graded. The workload was on the lighter side amongst the 3 credit courses that I've taken. The weekly reading assignments and quizzes were simple and easy, takes an hour max for a week's work. The unit exams are a little more thought provoking, but it's an easy A if you try.

Honesty, my favorite professor so far since I have been at UB. I highly recommend taking any of Professor Gray's classes!!! You will really learn a lot!!!

Absolutely awesome professor. Love this guy. Rave review, you will not be disappointed.

Good class with a lot of practical use.

Prof Gray is great. This class is very practical and widely applicable. There are negotiations where you play a role and then you have to negotiate for your interests. There are self-reflection HWs where you respond to a few questions about things talked about in class. Your grade is based on the number of negotiations and self-reflections you do.

Albeit I received an F in this class I genuinely relished the pedagogy. If you do what is asked and put forth your best effort you should have no quandary getting an A. Going to class is obligatory because the class is very participation predicated. It is homogeneous to a secondary language class that involves an abundance of minute group work.

I took this class as a pathway and loved it! If you watch the lectures and do the work it can be an easy A. Also really enjoyed it! Professor is super nice too.

Prof Gray is a fantastic instructor. Tons of enthusiasm for his lectures and makes an online class interesting, which is definitely a hard task to complete in itself. You can tell he knows what he's talking about and puts a lot of effort into this course, he even has his own website. He keeps students updated and responds to emails and grades fast.

Mr. Gray is a fantastic professor. He is understanding, kind and honest. He brings Philosophy to life. Be ready to do the readings for the class and discuss what you think about them.

Prof Gray was a really great professor. He made lectures super interesting and the grading was extremely fair. As long as you went to class and do the work you get an A. Attendance is definitely mandatory since activities in class are essential to the course but the lectures are interesting and you can tell he really cares about what he is teaching

Professor Gray is an outstanding instructor.His lectures are extremely informative,well explained,and entertaining. I feel that I developed conflict resolution skills from this class that I will carry through my life. I walked out of each class learning something new. He is understanding when it comes to making mistakes and cares about his students

Professor Gray was an excellent professor. He had high quality lecture videos which clearly explained the subject matter and readings were always accessible via a website called Perusal. The grading system used a points system and had "Philosopher's Stones", earned through doing assignments, that allowed you to extend deadlines (and other things).

Professor Gray is a very enthusiastic teacher. He is a bit of a micromanager. There are assigned seats. No devices are allowed to be used in his class. Attendance is mandatory. The assignments are either perfect or unaccepted. There are opportunities to redo and resubmit the assignments, but it can become cumbersome with the perusall readings.

Dr. Gray is very engaged and passionate about what he teaches. He is very particular, but the grading scheme is clear and if you follow it correctly, it's easy to get an A. Attendance is important and there are readings to do before every class, but there are only 8 assignments total.

Attendance is mandatory. The class does require a bit of work. However, it isn't a difficult class to do well in. Professor Gray wants you to do well, and you should if you are willing to put in some effort. The class had a lot of readings for homework, you do have to do them, or it will hurt your grade. I'd recommend the class.

Quality professor with engaging lectures. Grading is tough but he wants us to succeed and gives reasonable feedback to get the assignments correct.

Dr. Gray is very helpful. This class is evey challenging but very rewarding.

As long as you stay on top of your work in this class, you'll be just fine. If you want to glide along without doing work, then Prof Gray's class is not for you. That being said, the work is worthwhile and purposeful. Prof Gray is a high-caliber professor who can teach you how to be a better student, teammate, and leader if you put in the work.

Attendance is mandatory. The class has a required reading due the night before every class. You don't have to do all of them, but you do have to do quite a bit if you don't want to lose points. He has his own grading system, but it's simple to understand. It's an easy class to get an A in if you put in the work but it's still a challenging course

Keep up with reading assignments so you understand what's going on in class. Try your best to participate in class discussion.

This course is a project-based course for the capstone to the PPE major or minor. Be prepared to work with a team of 4-5 of your fellow students to complete a semester long project.

Challenging but its worth it. Feedback is clear but can be tedious to do perfect on assignments. Worst part is the attendance policy. Won't excuse your absence unless you write and do perfect on a 700 word paper, even if you're sick. Also can't be there 5 seconds after class starts without being considered late. 8 absences and you fail.

Professor Gray certainly cares about his students. If you are willing to put in the work and learn from assignments, then this class isn't difficult to do well in. He was engaging during lectures and I honestly feel like I learned a lot more about the American political structure and society from this class. I would recommend him to anyone.

Awesome professor! I learn more material from this class than from any other class I've taken. He is dedicated and cares tremendously about his students. With that said this class isn't an easy A, you have to put in the work to do good in this class. Totally recommend everyone to take Professor Gray!

10/10! This professor made this class so fun and interesting its crazy. Dont slack on taking this class. Promise you its worth it!!!

Professor Gray is a really fun professor. Even though the class is online, he manages to make the lectures interesting. Each lecture is broken up into segments of time which makes it easy to go through each unit without getting overwhelmed

Professor Gray is such a fun and positive professor. You can tell he is passionate about ethics and he makes learning interesting. He has the course organized well so as long as you complete the modules on time, you're good! I would take another class with him if I could!

Dr.Gray is a truly sweet and enthusiastic professor. Some of the in lecture quiz questions can be confusing or seem as though they have multiple answers. This class does have a lot of content and the social annotations can take a long time. I would suggest this for someone with a big passion for ethics. However, without this it may be difficult.

Awesome professor and class. The workload is totally manageable. Hundred percent would take him again!

Dr. Gray is everything that makes a great professor. He is passionate and enthusiastic, his grading scheme is very accessible and forgiving, and his material videos go toe-to-toe with some of the best edu-tainment content you would find on YouTube. He made learning ethics as easy and interesting as possible.

He was a very fun professor that made the lectures interesting

Professor Gray is a fantastic professor! Super passionate about ethics which makes it easier to learn about. He also structures the course in a fun way that gives you lots of room to make mistakes and learn from them. His course structure also allows for ample time to get assignments done.

Great Professor who cares about his class. Really entertaining which is hard to find in many Philosophy Professors. Very interesting readings I genuinely feel are essential to not just this class but life and conversations as a whole. 1000/10 class.

I love professor Gray's teaching style, so interesting.

Awesome! the best professor for my 2023 Fall.

Great professor. Schedule is easy to follow.

Professor Gray was very nice and an amazing teacher. He broke lectures down into multiple videos which helped me stay engaged with the material.

The Professor's level of course design is very high. This makes following the class very accessible.

hello hello all you lovely people! I enjoy watching his videos. He is passionate about teaching.

This professor's course was incredibly detailed on what was being asked of us each week. Communicating with him was easy, especially if you are planning on using the Philosopher's Stone system he sets up.

If you participate and put forth effort, the learning of this class will help you throughout your career in the "real world". And, it will help you personally dealing with conflict and negotiation. Participate, and it will make your life better !

He is very understanding and caring and very funny at the same time. Loved his course. Online courses are sometimes hard to keep up with but he made it fairly easy.

He is the best professor so far

You can tell how passionate he is with his work and just the amount of effort he puts in!

He's a great professor that makes lectures entertaining for his students. I had his class online, and he gave us 2 modules per week with 6-8 videos per module and a quiz+reading. He gives a lot of extra credit to help out students, and I enjoyed the content that we learned in class. I would definitely take another class with him!

Professor Gray makes his classes fun and engaging, I never got bored watching his videos despite never having taken any philosophy courses before. I would always recommend students to take a class with Professor Gray

Professor Gray is great and enthusiastic for teaching ethics. He is very understanding and easy to communicate with, he wants you to pass his course and learn.

Dr. Gray is fantastic

Professor Gray shows enthusiasm and care in his teaching bringing humor into his class that makes ethics so much more enjoyable. Class was easy as long as you take notes since tests are all open note. Philosopher stones are a cool system that can help you so take advantage of extra stone activities. Overall this course was enjoyable and interesting

Professor Gray was amazing! Though this class was a pathway for me he made it fun. He is very enthusiastic and it is easy to follow along with all of the videos. This course is all online but if you takes notes and keep up with the modules you will do fine on the exams. Overall he made me genuinely enjoy learning about ethics!

Honestly, just take him. As long as you just watch the lectures, you're literally fine. Ignore everything else. Just take him. You won't regret it. He's the best professor I had in 4 years of being at UB.

He is one of the best professor I have ever had.

Professor Gray, made the course very easy to understand. The course was also one that was fully online and yet he still made the grading criteria very clear, he also made sure that if we needed more time for assignments and extra credit so we would have options to improve our grade I would recommend that others take this course with Professor Gray.

The class is run through a point scheme with no real requirements. Basically you can negotiate your attendance and keep it at a minimum and still get away with an A-. That is an absolute win in my book.

Overall a wonderful professor who makes ethics understandable for the average student. Although online, his courses are clearly described in the syllabus as well as on the website. He makes the material understandable and interactive, regardless of how difficult the topic may be. My suggestion is to stay on top of the material and do the work.

I've never cried during the last lecture in a class but in all honesty, I was incredibly moved by how passionate Professor Gray is about teaching. for an online class this one was incredibly interactive, and he put so much effort into making material fun to watch! Thank you so much Professor Gray, you are a gem at UB.

He has a clear grading outline and you just have to follow the directions and it's an easy A. Just get ready to take a lot of annotations.

Professor Gray is an accommodating professor that understands work life balance. He is not a professor that expects his class to be your life and truly encourages his student to grow from his class. His grading schemes can be a bit confusing at first, but they are formed in a way that truly pushes you to learn, not just focus on the grade you get.

This is the second class I've taken with prof. Gray and he is one of if not the best professor I've had. He has a grading system that grades a lot of relatively small tasks, which makes it very flexible, and ensures your grade will not be ruined by a bad day. He also provides the reading material, so while you can buy the books, you don't HAVE to.

Professor Gray is amazing!! He is so passionate about ethics and very enthusiastic which makes the material so much more interesting to learn about. There's a decent amount of work but it's manageable. I highly recommend taking a class with him!

Professor Gray is an excellent professor. If you take a course with him you will not regret it!

Professor Gray is great! I took this course online and his lectures made me feel like I was in class with him. His grading scheme is very flexible and overall easy. My only complaint would be the amount of work due every week, it seemed like a little too much for this course.

Professor Gray is a very good lecturer and he felt like you were truly in the class with him even though the course was remote. There are many options for extra credit throughout the course and many opportunities to receive a higher grade. The course is structured very well and straightforward, the material is interesting and easy to understand.

The homework load is quite a lot, but I really did enjoy his enthusiasm and as long as you do your stuff, you should get a decent grade. Prof. Gray is a very down to earth guy and allows extra time for everything. Def recommend. No attendance as this was a virtual class.

He was so nice and had a lot of enthusiasm and made the lectures interesting. It is an easy class as long as you do all of the work. There's a normal amount and there's so many points available in order to get an A

Good prof

Very enthusiastic about the course. He explains all the concepts of this course very clearly and the online class is well organized.

I loved this class and Professor Gray played a huge part in making it easy (you can feel the energy in his lectures). You get so many opportunities to improve your grade and the material on the exams and quizzes comes from lecture so if you pay attention and do good notes you'll do great even before the end of the semester.

This class was really interesting and fun to take. I wish it was taught in person. The workload for each week was a lot for a 100-level course, however, this may be because it was online. Overall, I definitely recommend and enjoyed taking this class.

This online class was super interesting and fun. While it is a larger course load, the professor has a great sense of humor in his lectures and gives you the opportunity to take your time to fully understand the material. There is also many opportunities to improve your grade within the grading criteria which makes it so much more manageable.

This class was very organized and it was easy to under the content.

He is super cool and the way he teaches is simply outstanding

I had the pleasure of taking Dr. Gray's PHI107 course during my last sem of undergrad, and I could not recommend him more. He made ethics easy to understand, and his course felt like watching youtube videos. I spoke with him a few times during office hours, and he is just as fun and delightful in real life! you'll love his class!

I enjoy taking Professor Gray's PHI107 class. He makes the class incredibly fun and interactive. The lectures are very time consuming but are engaging and useful for the quizzes. He gives about 2 quizzes and annotated readings per week, and several lecture videos. This course is not an easy A and takes hours of work per week, but is a fun challenge

It was basically just video and quizzes , not too hard. Would take this class again.

easy class, good professor. do your work and you will get an A

Very enthusiastic about his teaching and course. He like flaming hot Cheetos a lot.

Watch the videos and you should be fine.

Dr. Gray is genuinely one of the best professors you can ask for. He puts 100% of his effort into making sure that the student learns in his class through his unique grading system and online lectures. I think his class has value regardless of what major you are and you'll walk out learning something applicable to whatever you're studying

He is super cool. Watch his video and just complete the modules.

Great professor overall, decent amount of home work everyweek but its very simple and does not take long to do. I would 100% take this course again.

Amazing professor, very interactive, and always there to help you if you need it. gives many opportunites for extra points throughout the semester

I did truly enjoy Professor. I learned more in this class than other courses. Professor is into computer science so I can see how he used that to create his Brightspace page and it shows he spent a lot of time on it. Not going to say this is an "easy A" but if you are diligent and do the work, there is more than enough room to get a good grade.

Professor Gray is a great person, very enthusiastic about ethics. Super easy to learn from him. Write down all the notes from the lectures and youll ace the quizzes and exams. Grading is the most lenient I've experienced. Chances to retake assignments and get free points from a token system. TAKE THIS CLASS FOR PATHWAY, ELECTIVE, ANYTHING U CAN

Professor is extremely passionate about the class that he teaches and it makes the class really enjoyable. The course is not light in its workload, but the clear grading criteria and clean organization makes it really easy to just hop on and get the work done. Amazing class, but can't be lazy.

Really nice, responds to emails quickly. It's a pretty easy remote class, just do the work. He gives you tons of time to complete it. Material is also very interesting

This professor is amazing and he really cares for his students taking this course. I would definitely recommend taking this course!

Really nice guy, went to talk to him about grading (which is confusing a bit at first) and he was able to explain to me what I could improve on and was overall helpful.

So cool. His class is so worth taking!!!

Prof. Gray is really funny. He responds very quickly to emails and is overall just very nice. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE FOR GRANTED!!! This is truly a mind-boggling course where you will learn things about ethics and yourself! Prof. Gray allows you to take it at your own pace while giving you some structure.

Dr. Gray makes learning and understanding philosophy very fun, interesting and easy. His class is well structured from the deadlines to the grading policy to his timely response of emails. This is the first college course that has taught and shown me what learning is supposed to feel like.

Professor Gray is a kind and passionate Ethics teacher. His engaging lectures make concepts easy to understand and his class is difficult to fail. He provides ample opportunities to improve your grade, even if you make mistakes or miss a few lessons. I highly recommend taking his class as a refreshing break from other challenging courses.

Clear professor who is very proactive when it comes to due dates and things like that . A lot of work but he makes it bearable. you only need an 82% to get an A and there is a lot of extra credit!

Professor Gray was by far the most enthusiastic teacher I've ever had. Its easy to get a good grade, just do the work. Workload was fair and consistent; you know exactly how much work you're gonna have each week and there's extra credit opportunities. You can tell he really cares about students, even though it's an online course.

For those who are curious about ethics and philosophy, Professor Gray gives a wide foundation in this course. For those who need to satisfy pathways, this course will be a fun way to do so. I am looking forward to any opportunity to take a course with Professor Gray again.

The professor is very interesting, and his videos are interesting and infectious, allowing you to learn about the diversity of ethics under his guidance. It takes some time to absorb what he teaches, or you lose

Very enthusiastic - his video lectures are very well edited and are entertaining and informative to watch. He designed the whole Brightspace page completely, and had an incredibly detailed/easy to understand syllabus as well. His grading scheme is very fair, and has a unique point system that allows for extensions/completion of assignments.

He's really flexible and really lenient with make up work

Best Professor at UB, Professor David is one of the most caring, funny, and understanding professors at UB, his classes made me feel more at ease and happier. I put in a lot of work and got an A. There are many extra credit opportunities. I learned a lot in this class, I would take professor David Gray again!

Professor Gray is amazing and he cares about his students. If you want to booster your GPA take him. Easy class and not boring at all. He is one of the great professor at UB.

The professor provides a lot of clear information in his lectures and he explains so well in case one is stuck. He responds to emails immediately and encourages everyone to participate and share their thoughts with everyone. I would take his classes again.

Super cool dude, do your work and you will be fine!

David was amazing. I loved taking ethics. His lef

David was an amazing professor. His lecture modules were so organized and looked like a youtubers videos. The class is more of playing a game and trying to get past the levels with points instead of grades. The material is super easy and just take good notes. I will miss him!

If you ever get the chance, take a class with Prof. Gray! His lectures were super entertaining and kept me engaged the entire time. I don't really think there was too much homework and the tests were fairly easy. He sets you up for success, he wants you to get an A and he will help you achieve it in any way possible.

I have to say this class is a lot of work-- it is not difficult work but a lot of work nonetheless. There is leniency when it comes to grading so if you just do your work every week, you should be good. Professor Gray clearly cares about his students and he responds to emails very quickly. Just make sure to stay on top of things!

He is genuinely so caring and kind. His online course is organized and very easy to understand. Definitely would reccomend taking it!

Dr. Gray masterfully created a website for Phi107 that walks you through the class. He sends out frequent email reminders so you can stay on top of your work, and has a 24 hour grace period on all of his assignments (including tests) in case you forget. He chooses intriguing readings and thoroughly explains them in accompanying videos.

Really enjoyed this class and professor. He's funny and engaging. Highly recommend. Would love to take future classes with him.

Dr Gray is truly one of the kindest professors I've ever had. He wants his students to do well and is very knowledgeable.

Amazing class and professor. Online class, but very interactive.

He's great

Dr. Gray is a kind, caring, and engaging professor. I took this class online and still felt able to meet the learning outcomes. He has so many opportunities for extra credit, it is easy to get an A even if you are a bad test taker like me. The tests and quizzes were all open notes. I definitely recommend him as a professor.

dr. gray is my favorite professor so far. i took his phi107 online course for ethics and he makes the lectures funny and adds a lot of jokes so you don't get bored and he manages to make learning fun. i highly recommend taking this course as the work is do-able and plus if you don't do an assignment, it will not impact your grade.

I loved this class, we go over so many interesting topics. The workload is very manageable and the videos are actually enjoyable.

I enjoyed Professor Gray's online class! The amount of work is very reasonable (weekly annotations, videos with questions and some unit exams). Exams are open notes and not too difficult. His lectures are fun and interesting to watch. Definitely recommend taking his class, you won't regret it!

Very easy pathway class that's completely online. The work is very reasonable and you get a 24 hour period after assignments are due to still get them done and receive 100% credit. Recommend taking, easy A.

Professor Gray is 100% the best professor I've had at UB so far as a junior. Not much to say honestly other than this class is amazing and super interesting.

I took PHI107 with Professor Gray. He is a very kind and caring professor and I enjoyed taking his class. I will admit the weekly annotations sometimes are a lot but other than that the class is smooth and nothing confusing. He definitely wants all of his students to succeed and is extremely lenient to help everyone succeed.

One of the best professors I've ever had, you'll need to watch his weekly videos and stay on top of assignments to do well in this class. With that being said this is one of the easiest classes to pass ever, as long as you put the work in

Professor Gray was very good. His class is very well organized and the assignments are manageable. He is fair with grading and their are opportunities to make up lost points and for extra credit.

I have to say, this was one of my favorite professors that I've had so far. I will say the homework can be a lot, but there are plenty of opportunities to get your grade up throughout the semester. Lots of fun interactive activities. Going to this class definitely did not feel like a chore! 10/10 Dr. Gray is awesome and super funny.

Professor Gray is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He gives a lot of chances to get extra points, and the videos that are required to watch are interesting. If anyone has to take Phi107, I recommend they choose Professor Gray.

Prof. gray was amazing I would totally recommend if him if you are going to take this class. His weekly videos are great and really help you learn.

Professor Gray clearly cares a lot about his courses, and is excited to teach them. I wish i had him for an in person class, as online courses don't work well for me. If you plan to take ethics with him, just know it's a lot of weekly hw- but don't worry about missing one or two, since there's a fun system to give you extensions

Professor Gray is truly a gift to UB's department of philosophy and it is very evident that he puts an exceptional amount of time and effort into his lectures. Whereas some subpar educators may turn students off to the subject(s) they teach, professor gray cultivates an environment where you are fully engaged and hungry to learn more... easy 10/10!

He is fantastic and always positive and optimistic. Encourages students, and listens wherever you need it.

Professor Gray is one of the best professors I've had while attending UB and I've been here for four years. Very friendly and open personality. Never felt awkward going to him for help on anything or seeking advice on the course. 10/10 would recommend!

Great Professor.

The teaching style is very different from what I was used to. He is very fair and very considerate if something comes up in your personal life and would try to help out the best way he can. He gives out points that help you succeed by giving extra time on homework, quizzes, and even exams! 10/10 professor and would have again.

Be ready to be engaged in the videos.

This course offers real world applicability, you will get so much out of taking this course! Dr. Gray is a thoughtful educator. The accessibility offered for his courses and transparency about grading and expectations leaves no doubt how well you can do in this course.

Dr. Gray is very easy to follow, and inserts a lot of humor in lecture which can get a bit goofy but at least keeps things light. For PHI107 the weekly workload was fine, with about an hour of video lectures (I watched in 1.5 - 2x speed) and two readings to annotate that took me about two additional hours. Quizzes were multiple choice

He cares about his students. This man has taken so much time to create an entire module worth of video lectures. The annotations are easy and the grading on them is so flexible. Quizzes are a joke IF YOU WATCH DR. GREY, he always gives you the answers so make sure to give him the time he deserves, and you will do just fine.

Excellent professor.

This was for Philosophy 107. Excellent professor. Would love to take another one of his classes if possible.

Dr Gray is the most caring teacher at UB. If you want to learn and have fun take his class

Dr. Gray is a fantastic professor; his lecture videos were always entertaining and funny. 10/10, I would take another one of his classes.

Very good lots of out of class work.

I love Prof. Gray! He's one of the best professors I've had at UB. He cares a lot about his students and all the material makes sense. Lecture videos are short and interactive. Quizzes and tests are decently easy. Lots of extra credit!

Prof. Gray makes philosophy so accessible to all!! This course puts philosophical argument into action through experiential learning opportunities within the UB community & WNY community at large along w/ readings. You not only gain more perspective about thinkers & life but build networking connections & build up your resume! Take this course!!!

all prerecorded lectures due by a certain date with embedded questions and a quiz at the end. All open note. very easy A if you just do the assignments

Professor Gray truly has a love for teaching ethics and it makes this class so much more fun, I would take this class or any class of his again if I could! Great pathway choice!

A genuinely kind and compassionate professor who shows a true passion for philosophy and wants to see his students succeed. Take his class even if your major has nothing to do with philosophy; you will learn so much about yourself, grow as a person/student, and you will not regret it!

Very thoughtful and inspiring professor! He genuinely cares about his students both academically and personally. His class challenges you to think deeply, not just about philosophy, but about life. Highly recommend taking him.

Just be ready to do the weekly assignments, they aren't bad you just need to leave a couple of hours out of the day to do it. Overall, not bad the grading and assignments are clear. The professor is open and will work with you if you need help.

Professor Gray is a marvelous lecturer who conveys the material in a clear, concise and entertaining way. You can tell that he cares deeply about his students' success, the topic that he is teaching, and hot cheetos. The class work itself consists of readings, videos, quizzes and unit exams. There are many opportunities for extra credit as well.

This course is an easy A. Perfect pathway course. Prof. Gray is a wonderful teacher and is so passionate about the content and it's super interesting if you're into ethics and philosophy. Probably the best class I ever took.

He is very informative and passionate about what he teaches which makes his lectures very entertaining.

Professor Gray was very passionate about teaching this course and super interesting to listen to! The work is easy as long as you just stay on top of everything and you have 7-8 days to complete the work each week. This class went towards my degree and towards my pathways. I definitely recommend! Easy A and lots of extra credit opportunities

Really fun and nice professor made you really care what he was talking about. Also a lot of HW but easy if you don't wait till last minute and a lot of extra credit easy A

Dr. Gray was a great professor who kept learning Ethics interesting. I would recommend him to others.

Amazing professor! He made his lectures very interesting, and the quizzes and the exams are relatively easy as long as you read the articles and take notes on his lectures. There is an alternate grading scheme in which you can miss certain classes and quizzes however, I still participated because his way of teaching is refreshing and pleasant.

Fantastic. I very much recommend this class if you're in need of an interesting class along with a average or even harder course load.

Professor Gray is very respectful and care about his students. There isn't a heavy workload, the articles are interesting to read.

Overall this class by far is one of my favorite classes I have taken. Professor Gray is an amazing instructor with a good sense of humor, although I took this class online he made sure to show how much he cares. The online format is easy to follow and the workload is reasonable, I would definitely recommend this class to anyone.

Prof Gray is one of the best instructors at UB. His course is well organized and he has very reasonable expectations. He is super passionate about what he is teaching. Would definitely take a course with him again!

Professor Gray is a great example of what it looks like for a person to love their job. He is very energetic and engaging in his lectures, which are even more impressive because they are pre-recorded. 2-3 weekly modules and social annotations weren't too difficult, but could be time-consuming. Dr. Gray gave many extra credit opportunities.

Fun lecture videos and amazing professor. Workload is manageable.

There are 6 exams in the course, quizzes, and annotations on readings. Just make sure to complete your homework before the deadlines, and you're good. He gives us an automatic 24-hour extension past deadlines with no penalty. It is great if you forget to submit a quiz. Overall, he is funny and passionate about his work, which is refreshing.

Quite literally the best professor I've ever had. Great at teaching the material and very enthusiastic about his job. He makes it so easy for students to succeed.

Prof. Gray is a great professor. He's super enthusiastic about philosophy, and his lectures are genuinely entertaining. PHI 101 is not a hard class if you put in a decent amount of effort. There are weekly reading assignments that you have to make annotations on, and other assignments throughout the year, but none of them are stressful or tough.

He is honestly one of the best professors at UB. The course work isn't too heavy but requires effort. This class doesn't have final exams but has a final project. It's not hard but definitely takes time and effort. The final project is probably the most difficult assignment but is doable. His lectures are engaging and interesting.

This class is great for those needing a simple online class. All the course work is accessible, and you work at your own pace. Lectures were easy to understand, and easy to make notes off of. As long as you do the work, you should come out with a good grade.

Great class by a great professor! I've had Dr. Gray several times and he always delivers the goods. This class applies to any student in any major who feels like they should develop their soft skills.

Really nice lecture.

At first, I thought the lectures for this class were corny, but honestly, they grew on me. By the end of the course I actually looked forward to them. Professor Gray is really passionate about what he teaches. I took this class's remote option. Each week's assignments are laid out ahead of time, it is a decent amount of work, but he makes it fun.

Professor Gray is a professor who genuinely cares about what he teaches. He lays out the course very well and makes each lecture fun to watch. Overall, I highly suggest taking a course with Professor Gray!

Professor Gray is genuinely hilarious and really endearing. He cares about everyone's progress and wants to see you succeed. He'll share his past experiences with resolving conflict, as well as a bunch of other random moments in his life. The negotiation simulations are really fun, and the preparations/self-reflections are engaging as well.

Really makes you think and involved in the material. Make sure to read the syallbus to understand the grading.

A very good professor

Professor Gray is a fantastic teacher who genuinely cares about ethics and his students. He makes his lecture videos funny, fun, and very informative. I was a big fan of his videos and his love for Hot Cheetos. I would 100% take another course with him!

He is a good professor, easy to get an A in the class as long as you do the work. Homework every week, takes about less than an hour every week. Do the extra credit and you will definitely have an A even if you do okay on the quizzes.

Self-paced class was super helpful, though there was a lot of homework.

It was an interesting class and the professor made it fun and something to enjoy

If you only read 1 review, let it be this. It's my 1st year & I took this class on a whim (enrolled late). I'm SO glad I took this course: Prof. Gray is a great teacher, even for an online course (usually hate online courses). The lectures are videos & really funny, tons of extra credit, & easy to understand. Open notes too! Made me love philosophy

Lot's of busy work, but it is generally easy. There are multiple chances to get extra credit, and he provides opportunities to make up late work.

Great enthusiasm, questions can be tough, but very organized and you easily know whats expected of you.

Enthusiastic, exam questions can be difficult, but you easily know whats expected of you.

Great Professor! Provides lots of opportunities to gain extra credit.

He is amazing and funny, i did online and watching his videos was like watching tv!!!!

Very interesting class, professor puts lots of thought and effort into the subject and the material.

Good professor, it was alot more work than i expected, but easy work.

Dr Gray makes an effort to connect with students and is clearly passionate about what he's teaching. Lots of collaboration and class participation. Never a boring lecture. Workload is not bad at all. Helped me improve my negotiation skills alot and I've learnt so much from being in his class. would recommend 100%

He is very enthusiastic about what he teaches. A very easy class if you pay a bit of attention.

Good professor. I can feel his passion.

Love Prof Gray!! He can be a cornball but we love it! Amazing teacher, the workload isn't heavy at all, few videos and article each week.

This class was fun. There are many lectures, but he breaks them up into short videos and they are entertaining. I'd definitely take one of his classes again!

He's very well spoken and makes tons of references.

Professor David is amazing! I took PHI 107 and had a great experience. They explain concepts clearly, give helpful examples, and make philosophy way easier to understand. The class is organized, fair, and never overwhelming. They're also very kind, patient, and always willing to help if you're confused. I definitely recommend taking this professor.

I had low expectations for an online class but this professor goes out of his way to make it fun and interesting. All work is direct and clear, just questions following the lecture and a quiz following. He makes it interesting and honestly enjoyable to learn the material.

Professor Gray is really funny in his lectures and he's the type of professor who cares about all his students! Although his grading can be a little bit difficult to understand in the beginning, it made more sense on why he graded it with points. Watching his lectures makes it fun and makes me want to learn more about Ethics!

Since this is an online course, it is really relaxed. Furthermore, every unit (currently 6) has an extra credit opportunity

Professor Gray is amazing!! He's very well spoken and genuinely cares about his students. He offers many opportunities for extensions and extra credit, and makes philosophy sound interesting.

His class is really interesting, it's like watching youtube videos but interactive. The videos are short and sweet. Makes it easy to pay attention and take a few notes. The quizzes/tests will be hard to answer if you didn't pay attention. It's not common sense, because they are specific to what he taught. Great class 10/10.

Prof Gray is amazing. He made the lectures interesting to watch. Exams is open book open note, and he basically says everything in the lecture videos and during quizzes, so they are pretty easy if you take notes.

Very easy class, just watch his videos and take notes.

This professor is awesome. I took this class for my UB curriculum requirement, and it couldn't be easier. The work was not hard at all, and the professor couldn't be any nicer.

He's great! Watch the videos, pay attention, take a few notes. Videos are entertaining, short (3-7 minutes long), and sweet. You will not do well on the exams or quizzes unless you pay attention to the videos. He uses specific language and examples. Very informative!!

PHI353 Conflict Resolution is a class that everyone should consider taking - skills for life. Lectures are on point, supplemental readings are approachable. Professor is efficient, making use of every minute, so you are not wasting your time or life here. Excellent experiential learning environment.

Professor Grey is enthusiastic about the education behind philosophy and ethics. He is always motivating and encouraging students, even though the course is online and much harder to do than in person. I loved his attitude, and it always made doing the work that much better.

The easiest pathway I've ever taken!!! Prof. Gray is amazing and all his lecture videos are H I L A R I O U S. I've always found most onlline classes a bit boring, but trust me you won't be with Prof. Gray!!!!!!

He is a very chill professor in all give you chances to use philosophy tones to redo an assignment or if you missed the assignment, however it adds on 24 hr. so use it when needed. the workload is not bad just take good notes and if you manage your videos well, you'll be fine honestly. if there is ever any problems, he is very respectful.

I Genuinely LOVED his Ethics course!! The workload was consistent and appropriate for the material and the grading system was fair and fun! He ensured lectures would be fun and wouldn't lose your attention, I would for sure take another class of his!

Great professor! Workload was easy and didn't take too much time, offers many extra credit. If you do the work and stay consistent, automatic A.

This class was sooooo fun and he made this class so friendly and you will have alot of opportunities and will have extra time to finish the work. I love this class. Professor Gray was so understanding, funny and friendly professor. One of the best professor i had so far.

If you miss stuff you'll fall behind quickly but you get some points at the end to make up missed assignments. Professor Gray is pretty nice and funny.

If you don't have time for magazine syllabus click on "full course document", but syllabus looks really cool. Readings are a must, and he's good at explaining. Write lecture questions somewhere to read before taking the quiz. Few hours of work every week + time reviewing for Unit exams (there's 6). Fun, but NOT an easy A if you're STEM.

Took this class as a freshman in mechanical engineering and ended up loving it! The negotiation simulations are super fun and interactive. You get a fresh and emotionally intelligent perspective on conflict and definitely has material that you can use in everyday life. I would absolutely take a class with him again if I was in philo/poli sci.

Very easy Class for the most part. Just have to complete modules weekly as well as module quizzes. Exams are directly based off module readings/videos so it is clear what to study. Professor Gray is lenient and offers many extra credit opportunities as well as grace periods for those who need them. Overall would take this course again!

One of the most enthusiastic, honest, and engaging professors I've met. Dr. Gray loves philosophy and it shows. Weekly readings and social annotations are easy. No exams. Projects push you to do things outside of class, it is a bit of work but they're things you should be doing anyway and look good on a resume. Very kind and understanding too.
