Hated his class. Yes, he's a nice man and it's easy to get an A, seeing as how practically everybody was cheating on the final. But if you're taking a logic class to actually learn something for, say the LSAT, this is not the professor to take. If you really want that A, then go for it. But it's your money you're wasting.

Professor Statile is a top notch professor. He teaches a hard subject but is willing to take all questions and involve the students. He asks that you read some chapters before class and watch at least part of some posted videos. His tests are take home exams. He is genuinely caring and great at his job.

Glenn Statile is the sweetest man. He genuinely cares about you. Although he is a little bit older, does not speak very loud, and lectures a little , he always let us out early, and his tests are all relatively easy. I didn't own the book; he does ask questions during class on "hw", but doesn't call people out. First two tests can be found online.

Professor Statile's online metaphysics class was really easy. There is 1 essay and discussion post due each week(10 total) and an open book final. You can write about any weekly material in the discussion board and use external sources for the essay(cite them obviously). Gives good feedback and final was open book too!

If you have the opportunity to take Dr. Statile, you should. He is a great professor and actually cares about his students. I would recommend anyone who doesn't like philosophy to take him as he help endear you to the subject. If you can't do well in his course you can't do well anywhere!

I took Professor Statile for an online class and although it was very slow and boring (no offense to him its just philosophy) he is a good professor. Take him if you want 3 take-home essay tests the whole semester and no homework.

LOVED! Hated the amount of papers but his units are fun and made you think. Definitely wants you to have an opinion not just reiterate the readings. 10 500 word essays and a final with 50 very detailed questions. I texted him throughout the semester. He is great! Honestly take him.

Professor Statile is amazing and you can tell he actually cares about his students. I took his asynchronous course so it was 10 papers, one a week, and a final. The papers are challenging but doable and he responds with actual feedback so you can tell how much he loves what he does. You def have to put in the work but it's a great class

His course in Epistemology was 3 exams. The exams included an essay and some multiple choice. (But all the info is readily available through the module info he gives!) He was so kind and encouraging. He always had nice things to say about my work and for someone whos a bad test taker, I never got lower than a 97 on his exams! Take him! He cares!

The most amazing philosophy professor I have ever had. The only text you need is the one he wrote, but you can get the pdf from someone for like $15. You don't even necessarily need to use the text, as I used google and things like that. One paper a week and a very easy final that is all true/false. 10/10 would recommend and would take again.

Professor Statile is the best. Take him if you get the chance and you wont regret it. There's 3 essays, but you'll get a high score easily as long as you write something with an ounce of effort put into it. No textbook is needed as he uses his own notes for class, and the homework is optional. Overall, my favorite philosophy professor so far.

I'm taking Dr. Statile for Epistemology, and he is a wonderful professor. He cares solely about enriching the students' minds, and helps you no matter what your circumstances are. A true selfless professor. If you want to learn philosophy and be guided along the way by a kind and genuine professor, take Dr. Statile.

PLEASE TAKE HIM!! I had him for Honors Philosophy 3000 and he only made us do 3 tests which were all take home, and he didn't give less than an A on any of them. Such a caring professor and such a kind man, he makes sure he knows your name and face so try to go to class. Lectures were long but you could do other stuff on your laptop. DEF TAKE!!!!

Lectures are pretty dull, but he is a super chill and nice guy overall. He says he doesn't take attendance, but I think he does? As long as you show up in the class, you're good. All tests are take-home, online essays and true/false questions.

Professor Statile is genuinely a sweetheart. He remembers almost all of the students' names and gives lengthy response to all of the essays that you hand in. That being said, the class is very boring, but all of the actual assignments are take home so you don't really need to pay much attention. He also provides the full class notes from the start.

Dr. Statile is great! Weekly 500-word essay based on material he provides. Can take a while but really is not that bad. He provides great, timely feedback as well. Multiple choice final at the end of the semester. Really good asynchronous class to take, I really enjoyed learning the material.

Professor was super organized. The course was straightforward, with one 500-word essay per unit and a 50 question T/F MCQ final exam. All modules were easy to navigate and he always responded to assignment submissions quickly. The material was a bit uninteresting, as expected. If you're on top of deadlines, this class should be an easy A.
