The class is hard, in that you have to work a lot to earn a good grade. You actually learn in his class. Essay test, have to apply the material, and he takes roll every day.

the upper level classes can really kick your ass, but for ways of knowing, he rocks.

Dr. Jones is a type of professor that is not seen much anymore. A professor professes, he or she is not suppose to change the diapers of those who need pampering. Dr. Jones is a great professor b/c he actually expects his students to succeed, and in order for one to succeed, one has to be challenged. I did great in his class b/c I actually tried.

without a doubt, the best teacher at KSU! if you care about yourself and your life, do yourself a favor and take this man for anything!!!

good teacher, loves what he does, great stories, hard tests :(

all the folks who **** about Jones are just too stupid to understand or too lazy to put any effort into critical thinking!

The best teacher on campus. Has been the adviser for the best student organization on campus (voted three years in a row!) Last years' academic student of the year was his assistant. Has done more to raise the level of discussion on campus than any other teacher to date. Of course he's hard. Wisdom is not a flower to be plucked; it is a mountain to be climbed.

This guy is awesome.

I went in to his class thinking this guy was an arrogant jerk, but after a few weeks with him I realized that he's a very kind man with a strong sense of li (if you don't know what that is, take him and you'll find out). Seriously, take his classes. If you're a serious student, you'll be glad you did.

This is not an easy class but it is lots of fun. He's a good professor and a good person.

Dr. Jones is AWESOME. He is an amazingly brilliant professor with a great personality!! He shares his viewpoints but also accepts the views of his students. If you get the chance TAKE HIM!!!

Lots of whining. "I make all A's..." Probably b/c your other classes were a joke. Jones knows his stuff; most profs just wants a paycheck. Dont believe me, take a PHIL class by ROUSE. If you want all A's, go to technical or IT school, where you can buy (literally) a degree. If you are anything approaching a serious student, stop crying and WORK!

1. Its a HARD CLASS 2.You MUST WORK HARD if you take his class 3. YOU MUST attend out of class lectures 4. ALOT OF WRITING. Basically, its a hard class. However, its amazing how much Ive learned and how much I enjoyed his class. Hes a fascinating guy. HARD CLASS, but worth it if your not LAZY!

He expects A LOT from his students.This was NOT an easy class however it was the most enjoyable class ive ever taken. Attendance&after class lectures mandatory! Take him if you are a HARD WORKER and want to actually learn something. The lazy ppl are the ones on here who are whining and complaining.

WONDERFUL CLASS! You will LOVE PHILOSOPHY After taking this class.Jones is AMAZING! However this is an EXTREMELY HARD CLASS! However it WAS WORTH IT!He MAKES u work and I love him for it! He shows u what college SHOULD be like. WONDERFUL CLASS,and yes its VERY HARD! So beware!

Extremely hard teacher. I took him as a Freshman and it affected my gpa in a upleasant way. This class seperates the workers/slackers significantly. Test are cumlative. Lectures, no pp. Essays 5-7pg. out of class assignment

Easy if you go to classes. The people with negative comments don't belong at a university. Managed an A in this class with little effort. Best Teacher I've ever had... ever.

I considered dropping after the first class, but after a few weeks I came to enjoy philosophy because of Dr. Jones. He has been the best professor I have had since coming to KSU. He will challenge you to think instead of regurgitate facts. Be prepared to give your best!

Tough teacher... he will make you work hard for your grade. Regardless, he is a great teacher who knows a lot about philosophy.

Dr. Jones is a great teacher & really wants his students to learn & think on their own.He offers discussion sessions outside of class that are helpful.You will read from original texts written by Plato ect. Reading is challenging but rewarding.He loves it when you ask questions.I knew zip about philosophy before this class but I have learned a lot.

Really entertaining class. If you want to get a decent grade, GO TO CLASS. The lectures are interesting, but I hate philosophy, so it was difficult to understand everything. You have to attend out of class lectures and write summaries, but they aren't bad. He's really reasonable, but diffcult class. Study, study, study!

Dr. Jones loves what he does, and it shows. He likes to challenge his students. Be prepared to work hard and put extra time into this class. Exams are really hard, but you can get an A in his class. He recognizes when students are putting forth effort to do well. Overall, the lectures are very interesting, and you will learn a lot.

Dr. Jones is easily the best professor at KSU, but definitely one of the most difficult. He knows philosophy, and expects you to learn it while in his class. Give an honest effort to understand the material and you'll be fine. His lecture style is extremely helpful, and his classes are never boring. Go to class, read the material, do the work.

Out of all my classes this was without a doubt my hardest one. Yet, my favorate. He does not take attentence but if you do not go to class your going to fail. He does not do powerpoints or online notes. Everything is from his spoken lecture. Its not as hard as it seems if you take good notes and actually attempt to understand the material.

Amazing professor, I absolutely loved attending his lectures. The material was pretty difficult and his papers certainly weren't easy, but overall it was a very satisfying class. I still can't get over his last lecture to our class, incredible professor. Take him if you get the amazing opportunity.

Dr. Jones is awesome. Go to class. Do the reading. Attend what lectures you can and tell him when you can't. He knows what he's talking about and if you don't, ASK HIM. He will go out of his way to explain it to you. Yes, he grades harshly, but anyone who just hands you an A isn't doing you any favors. He'll try as hard for you as you do for him.

The material in this class is difficult, so don't expect it to be an easy A. However, if you GO TO CLASS (you can't pass without going) & take notes (no powerpoints, just spoken lecture), you can do well. Prof. Jones knows what he's talking about & it shows- he WILL help you understand if you ask. 5 out-of-class lectures but I went to 1 & got a B.

To be successful in Dr. Jones' 2200 class, you only need to attend class, pay attention and take notes. His lectures and aporetic teaching method will leave you significantly more intelligent and thirsting for knowledge. A fantastic, life-altering course.

Dr. Jones is AWESOME. It's not an easy class, but he's a great teacher. The material is interesting, and so is he. Definitely recommend.

Freaked out when I read reviews on here but honestly ignore them. Never failed anything. All you have to so is show up and take good notes. He really knows what he is talking about and has definitely changed my outlook on life for the better. Those who are complaining his class is hard are kids who have had everything handed to them in life. Learn.

The finest professor you will ever have. Study. If that's too hard for you to do, then drop his class. It's that simple.

Best professor I have ever had! David Jones will be one of the teachers I say had a HUGELY POSITIVE impact on my career. His class is based on novels/books instead of a textbook, which I find much easier to study from. He loves what he is teaching which makes the course clear and enjoyable. I would take all of his Philosophy classes if I could!!!

I was so very lost in this class. It seemed I was the only do do in a class full of geniuses. But I still got a B. Take VERY good notes. You probably can get by with good notes and not reading the material. 20 people dropped the class out of fear but it wasn't that bad. He's a lil unorganized which can work in your favor. He wants chili peppers so

Dr. Jones is hands down the most amazing professor I've ever encountered. He's very nice, knowledgeable, and passionate. He seems very intimidating at first, but as the class goes on you all warm up to each other. It's tough and you have to actually think, but it is so worth taking. I wish I failed so I could take it again honestly, but I got an A

Individualistic, metaphorical, and inspirational.

Dr. Jones is a great teacher and phenomenal philosopher. He is not for the feint of heart. His course was undoubtedly the hardest class I have ever taken in 4 years of college. His tests are beyond difficult and their is little structure to the course. If there were no grades and we could just sit and listen to him speak, it would be a great exp.

Professor Jones is a special kind of teacher. He really cares for his students and want's to see all of his students do well and enjoy the class. He will make jokes during his lectures. His tests were averagely hard. DO NOT MISS CLASS!!!!! I would recommend buying the books or renting them because it helps to understand the material better.

His class was so interesting. Prepare to leave every class with your mind blown. His class is sp unique and introspective. You will see the world differently after learning philosophy from him. His exams were very difficult. I spent a majority of the year worried about my grade, but he gives extra credit and even curved our final so youll be fine.

Wonderful professor. One of the few who actually engages in serious Philosophical debate. If you are serious about Philosophy, look no further. If you're looking for an easy A, go somewhere else. He not only cares about your studies; he also cares about you as a person.

An exceptional teacher and philosopher who cares for his students very deeply. If you take his class you will not only learn about the nature and history of philosophy, but also about the reality of life. It should be noted that there are very few grades for this course and an immense amount of reading. Very challenging, but deeply rewarding.

Super kind and funny guy, all around awesome human. He is very caring and will meet you half way if you put in the effort. This class can be difficult if youre not a good note taker. Pay very close attention to his lectures, be engaged, do the reading and you will do fine. Not a lot of outside resources and very few grades. I still loved him!

Professor Jones is definitely the professor to choose if you are genuinely wanting to learn the material for the class. There is a lot of reading involved, lectures, and just knowing your material period needed. I definitely finished class with greater knowledge of philosophy!

I really enjoyed Dr. Joness class. It was very challenging, so I would only really take his class if youre naturally gifted in Philosophy or at least very passionate about it. Jones isnt the best professor but hes the real deal and knows philosophy like the back of his hand. I learned a lot and I really liked his class!

Be prepared to pay attention during lectures and to do lots of reading. A challenging class but it's expected for something that's a critical thinking req at KSU. His quizzes can be tough but he does give partial credit for anything you type in for free response. Final was all MC and pretty easy. Would rec if you don't mind reading and thinking :)
