I had Prof Fallon for Business Ethics and it was a great course. Fallon is so intelligent and knowledgable. His course is clear and he is willing to answer any and all questions. I got an A in the course, but I have many friends who didn't do as well. Make sure you do the reading and you'll be fine. Overall, great course!!!

Professor Fallon is young and smart and able to spin the material multiple ways, which is awesome. But for tests and quizzes (which are always open-ended) if you're not good at organizing your thoughts, you can just kiss a good grade goodbye

Ok so this class is beyond boring but he is not out to destroy your GPA. His lectures cover exactly what will be on the exam and there are no tricks with this guy. He loves when his students ask questions as well

Ok Professor Fallon is an excellent professor BUT is a very hard grader. His tests are all short answer and open ended. Your ideas and thoughts must be well thought out and organized. He gives a couple quizzes, Midterm, Essay and Final exam. You don't have to Participate. It's mostly pure lecture. Will be a GPA killer, he doesn't hessite to give F!

He's a tough grader. But he's very fair. He tells you exactly what he's looking for in open ended responses and in his essay (which was 25% of total grade). He's pretty laid back when it comes to most things. He likes helping students so this isn't a class to be shy in.

The course is almost entirely written, you have 2 written exams and an essay. He is very helpful for the essays and lets you know what your outline should look like and answers your questions about it. He reviews the exams beforehand and is pretty clear about the material on it. Lectures are boring, readings useless, but you get to use your laptop.

Took him in my first semester despite reading all these comments. He's a great professor. If you don't understand something you can go up to him after class and ask and he will clarify the material for you. He is not a hard grader at all . Just be prepared to focus and take notes and some reading !

Took the class this past semester. Overall great professor. Gotta work for the grade, but it isn't too bad. Emailing him and visiting him during office hours is a life saver so take advantage of it. The paper isn't bad if you ask for help. He's really good at explaining when you're confused. His class inspired me to consider a minor in philosophy.

He is a great Professor

TAKE THIS CLASS hes awesome. makes sure you understand the class, is very passionate about the subject, two tests and a paper but he sayswhat he expects and what will be tested. hes funny and keeps stuff pretty lightweight and tells you when you should do a reading or when you can get by without it, most of the time youll need to pay attention

Prof Fallon is a young teacher, lectures the whole time in a monotone voice but if you're actually listening & trying to get the best of your money & time you'll realize just how interesting what he's saying is. 2 or 3 tests & a final, no essays anymore. Write a full page frnt & bck in the blue book for each q covering everything he said in class

Dr. Fallon is the closest sju students get to an ivy education, in my opinion. He is brilliant and precise, and will review all the material more than once so that everyone understands. The class is lecture heavy, so be prepared to listen and take copious notes. He taught me how to think. He makes jokes occasionally. I absolutely recommend!

Please don't pay attention to the ratings below that are negative; the bottom line is that if you attend the classes, do the readings (one after each class) and prepare for the (3) exams, you will do fine. Professor Fallon is absolutely one of the most qualified, intriguing professors at St. John's. His lectures are enlightening and he is amazing!!

The best professor I have ever taken at SJU. I always recommend him to everyone. He is extremely interesting and actually teaches so you don't feel as though you're left out to fend for yourself. His lectures were ones I looked forward to. He is extremely smart and charismatic and an overall great person who is an amazing professor as well.

I really liked him as a professor. Literally participate like 3 times all semester and you'll get full credit. There is only reading for homework which you can youtube it instead. The essay was alright usually 5 questions/ 1 page for each question. I definitely recommend this class for sure.

You participate like 3 times for full participation credit the whole semester. There's only reading but as long as you understand lecture you will be fine. He does have review sessions the class before the exam. The questions for the exam should be answered in at least 2 pages of the small yellow booklet If you still don't understand, crashcourse

Great professor!! Yes his classes can sometimes be a little boring as he lectures a majority of the time, however the topics are interesting. If there are any questions, he does not hesitate to answer them. Many students complain about his grading, however all he wants is for u to explain what u know. If u put in effort, he'll grade u well. 3 tests

The hippest philosopher at SJU.

Actually enjoyed his class surprisingly. He can be pretty funny and his lectures aren't too boring. I would take him again for sure.

Hes a great professor. The lessons and topics are so simple and he explains everything in such an understanding way. only 3 tests no papers, hw you just have to read the articles he gives. He is open to helping and is always clear. MUST TAKE! i have his class right now and he is easy if you actually read and take notes. ignore the bad ratings.

Fallon is calm teacher, doesn't ask us to do too much work. Just show up to class, write down whatever he writes, ask a few questions. For exams just make sure ur able to explain the material in ur own words well. 2 tests, final and participation is grading criteria. readings for hw but he explains it in class so no point in reading them

he was my favorite class this semester, his lectures are really interesting and thought provoking. 3 tests no papers. participation counts if you come to class, he doesn't expect everyone to raise their hand, but attendance does count. hw is just to read the articles he assigns. amazing professor, he made the topics easy to understand. cute guy too

TAKE him. Not hard! You're bound to get an A or A-. He's an amazing professor. There are 3 tests including the final. They're all written tests. For the tests, you just have to answer 3 out of 6 questions with examples and explanations to show that you understand the material. You don't even have to participate in class.

Francis was cool, super chill, 2 exams a final ( each 30%)attendance and participation (10%), class was boring, he talks and writes notes on the board, just write what he writes and your good on notes. Raise your hand too. For exams, you have answer 3 questions using in-depth examples. difficult. drops you half a grade for missing certain pts.

I love this professor. His class isn't easy and he's a tough grader, but the class is very interesting and you can tell he's very knowledgeable. Lots of readings were assigned but if you don't understand them, he goes into depth about them in class. A test after every 4 or so classes.

K. so this is how it goes: 3 tests total all in essay format. You have to take very detailed notes because you'll need to be specific on the exam. Readings are assigned but he goes over them in class and there's also a review session before the day of the exam. Professor Fallon is a really chill and funny guy and I definitely recommend taking him.

a thought provoking class. he teaches interesting material that sticks with you. by far my favorite professor in sju. read your hw, review your notes and you will succeed. 3 tests all the same format that are just 3 questions. i recommend him to anyone for phil 1000c or 2200c. an amazing professor that made the class easy to understand and fun

People who rate this guy badly are ones who zone out in class. The tests are basically the notes he puts on the board so just show up and take good notes. Should have a higher rate

Genuinely one of the best professors I've ever taken. Such a great course and material is really interesting. He does everything possible to get you to do well in the course and his passion for the subject helps to facilitate that even more so. Dr. Fallon is your best bet when it comes for philosophy courses, especially if you're into philosophy.

Professor Fallon is so articulate it's not even funny. I wish every day that I could speak as smoothly and coherently as he does. The course really opened my eyes to flaws in thinking about the human person and I carry them onward when I hear the things that people say in my every day life. It's been a great semester.

I thought philosophy would be boring, but he made it somewhat interesting. He makes it clear that you are responsible for your grade from the start. Essentially if you pay attention and try to understand the info, you'll be good. He was very willing to give you extra help anytime. Overall he's a nice guy and a good professor soo loves it.

Professor Fallon is awesome! A lot of students complain because he is a pretty tough grader, but if you pay attention and participate in class you will be fine. I never thought I would like philosophy but the way he explains things makes it so interesting. He's a really nice guy and is always willing to help students.

Prof. Fallon is a great choice. The material he teaches can be confusing or difficult to grasp. However, he lays it out in a way that is easy to understand. He literally gives you a heads up on what you should know for the short answer tests, just pay attention. He tends to spend more time talking about a topic if it is important so take good notes

Philosophy is a hard class to have a good prof in, but Fallon is it. He only bases your grade on attendance and three in class papers, no homework besides readings that he goes over. He explains the material so well and review it as many times as necessary, he is so good at putting the material in terms that non-philosophers will understand.

Fallon is prob the best PHI prof. Your grade is based on attendance/participation and 3 tests that are 2-3 short answers each. The only homework is readings that go along w lectures. His lectures are long, but if u take good notes you'll be fine. Make sure you study and you'll be fine!! I recommend him if u don't want hw but will work hard in class

I definitely learned a lot from this class. I would not take it again, but if I had to, I definitely would choose Prof Fallon. He clearly explains what he wants you to write on the test and will make sure to review everything before each test. You have to be in class and take good notes if you want to do well on the tests (4 tests).

Take Fallon!! No textbook and very little homework (only a few readings). Graded solely on 3 tests & attendance. All exams are based on lectures only so its important to take good notes. Gives a practice diagnostic test before the first test that doesnt affect your grade so you can get a feel for his questions. Reviews before all tests.

I was dreading having to take a philosophy class but Fallon made me actually enjoy it. The class is super easy as long as you show up and take good notes (basically everything he writes on the board, you write it too and you'll be good). TAKE THIS PROFESSOR you actually learn a lot

Professor Fallon knows what he's talking about and doesn't give any homework, but you do have to pay attention and take great notes. He gives three major exams, which are just essay questions that you get to pick. It's an easy A if you understand the material. Would take again, but take good notes!!

Fallon is a great professor. His lectures are organized, well-structured, and easy to follow. As long as you show up and take good notes, there's no reason as to why you shouldn't get an A. Tests are essay-based and Fallon gives amazing feedback and is always available to help you out and clear anything up. Highly recommend taking his class!

You can tell he knows and is interested in what he is teaching. His explanations are clear and easy to follow along. Found myself enjoying class even if I took it for credits.

He explained all the topics really well but he does go fast so if you skip class you will be lost. He also doesn't mind explaining things during class. He does an in-depth review before each test which helps a lot. Its pretty hard to make an A though you have to really understand the topics and be able to explain them thoroughly.

This class is straight forward- 3 essay exams worth 30% each plus 10% for participation. no extra credit Honestly, I think a lot of these reviews are unfair. Yes, the class is challenging, but prof Fallon will go over everything more than once in the class and outlines what will be on the test. If you want to really learn, take this course

Professor Fallon was truly the one thing that kept me going during my first semester at college. His class was so interesting and all the topics discussed felt like they held real weight and meaning to them. You are graded solely by 3 tests, one being the midterm and the other the final. He gives very clear notes and will explain things in depth.

I can honestly say Professor Fallon is one of the best professors I have had. The grading in his class is solely based on a few written exams, but he makes his rubrics clear, so if you go to class, pay attention, and take notes, you should do well. He is the type of professor who wants you to actually learn and take away something from his class.

im a bio major and I wouldn't take philosophy if I didn't have to, however, I found prof Fallon's lectures to be interesting. The topics were engaging, as long as you pay attention to them and are a decent writer, you shouldn't have a problem passing this course. however, if you skip this class you wont do good just because its so lecture heavy.

He's alright. He grades based off 3 tests only but he gives a clear idea on what you should do to pass. No homework. His lectures are interesting. If you take notes, copy what's on the board and study, you should be good.

Lectures are heavy, but he cares whether you get the content. You don't have HW, but you have 3 essays/tests discussing the importance of what you learned. If you wanna pass his class, take a few hours and study. Copy down everything on the board and key details he says. After I began to study I started to really enjoy being in his class.

Very lecture heavy and if you miss a class it'll be extremley hard to catch up. He gives very little to no HW, and you're only graded on a few handwritten tests. BE SPECIFIC. Participation does not matter. You'll do good if you take notes and review the notes. It's very hard but he's a good teacher and genuinely cares about teaching the right way.

In this class, you have to put in the work and effort. There is no homework. If you don't do the reading, don't write the notes in class, and don't show up to class, that is all on you. Fallon is very lecture-heavy. However, he wants his students to understand his discussion, so raise your hand! Just pay attention and study!

Great class but you have to be willing to put in the work to class. Try to actively listen to the class and write good notes and actually try to learn it because his exams are short responses in which you apply to material to answer the questions. Take good notes, pay attention, and you will do well.

Grades are based on three fairly easy tests. You should not only write the notes he puts on the whiteboard but should write down the examples he says (helps to get an A on tests). He only gives readings for homework; he gives you the link to them. He holds review classes on regular class days.

The material is interesting and he explains it well, but it sucks that the grade is based only on 3 written response exams. It's basically just explaining what was taught to show that you know it. Definitely try not to skip cause you'll be lost without the notes. He takes attendance but it doesn't really affect your grade if you show effort.

Just attend class and you're good he was so easy.

You gotta be there for every class to get a good grade, if you miss a class you would be lost. Other than that there are only 3 graded assignments which are the 3 tests. Just study for them and listen to every lecture and you'll do fine.

Fallon's class is lecture-heavy, but engaging if you put in the work. Use Unstuck ai and take thorough notes to excel. No HW, just 3 tests - stay on top of the material.

There are few quizzes and barely any online material but if you listen and take notes the quizzes will be easy and you'll find the subject matter interesting. He's cool. Don't miss a class or borrow notes if you do. He does review sessions, so that might save you.

I personally really enjoyed this class. His descriptions were always spot on and well written(or drawn). I didn't think I would like Philosophy as much as I did, but here we are. I took a Metaphysics class the following semester and didn't have to do much as most of what I learned in Professor Fallon's class had already applied.
