Professor Statile is the best professor in the entire university! I want to thank him for the 4 A's that have shown up on my transcript!
One of the nicest and most helpful teachers on campus.He is very knowledgable and makes class interesting for people at all levels of understanding.Goes out of his way to make people learn.Passionate about philosophy,life,and learning.Very logical.
DR. STATILE IS AN AMAZINGLY NICE GUY...MY CLASS CONSISTED OF 2 TAKE HOME TEST AND A FINAL...HE ISN'T CONCERNED WITH ATTENDANCE AND IS THERE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEARN;WHAT YOU GET OUT OF THE COURSE IS UP TO YOU,AS LONG AS U TRY SOMEWHAT YOU'LL GET AN A
Statile is by far the nicest professor in St. Johns, the man has a heart of gold and is also one of the most intelligent men in the university.
awesome prof! i'd like to thank him for the A!
The only man I ever dropped at this entire university. Boring as all hell. Easiest A you'll ever get.
oh pleaseeeee take hime. if you go to st.johns you have to take his class. you just cant not miss it
You gotta fight to get him. His classes get filled up in the blink of an eye. He goes out of his way to help you. I haven't met too many people that care as much as him.
Two words, 'THE MAN'!!!
I LOVE YOU DR STATILE. FOR YOUR KINDNESS, FOR YOUR INTELLIGENCE, AND FOR YOUR AMAZING PERSONALITY. YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST
Whoa...Borin as hell...But the easiest class ive had soo far...You got to fite to get his classes...but if u can ur lucky...THankz proff
Very easy! gives axtra credit papers gives easy tests. Needs to speak louder to get attention.
easy a, teachs the material and cares about his students.
Has the best teaching methods! We want to learn with him. Great Professor! Well rounded individual!
Ok this professor is great!Took Him twice and saw him 8 times for the whole year and got a B+ twice LoL... His test are take home... What more do you want? Prof. you are the best there is and the best there ever will be in St. Johns!
easy a, great professor, good class
mad easy
he is by far one of the nicest people that has ever walked this planet. the man is a Godsend. He's not only a good professor, he's genuinely caring and nice
Nice class, I made all my other classes' Homework,.. well sometimes I acknowledge my sleeping time or playing some board games, and still got a good grade. What a class !
Seriously so boring but I have to tell ya, I recommend him to anyone who wants an easy A and doesnt want to show up for class!! Great guy!
Really great guy, really horrible teacher. You see, he is TOOO easy and its just sad. Hes the kind of teacher that lets retards graduate becaue he gives out A's. Hes for anyone who doesn't give a damn about college, probably 80% of SJU!
Never spend more than 10 min in class, take home exams(2),and he gives the questions and the answer for the final.Very Easy, but if u attempt to cheat during final, forget it, he walks around the room like he lost $$ or something.So just memorize it.
if you wanna pass ethics or metaphysics Statile is the man!

professor statile was one of the WORST professors i've ever had. he is so boring and you can barely understand a word he says. the one good thing about taking this professor is that you can cut practically all of the classes and still get an A
I don't why people take Theology when its so obvious that Statile is GOD! We should study him. Just don't take the poor guy for granted, how many other SJU professors take your outside life into consideration!
What a nice guy...will do anything to convenience you! If you can't get at least a B with him, you should think about a job at McDonald's
He is the kindest professor at St. John's. He is easy, but only because he understands that life doesn't revolve around Metaphysics. He will help out any student that asks. Unfortunately, he is too often taken advantage of.
BEST ST JOHNS PROF, IF U WANT TO GET AN EASY "A", TAKE HIM,youwill just have 2 take home exam, and 1 final that you have to study for which is not bad at all. Take him, easy profFFFFF, GO Statile
good professor. His really nice and hepls his students. Take him if you want an A!
Without a doubt, the best metaphysics professor. I know we all want to pass this class, but if you want to pass it with an A, then take Statile!!! I wish I had more philospphies to take so that I can tke this guy and get those A's to boost that GPA.
Best Prof. Ever! Hez nice therefore students take him for granted n make fun of him. I think hez a nice guy, be nice to him n thank God for such a nice n ez prof. Students need to learn to respect him more!
Taking him and not expecting an A is like watching the VMA's and not expecting Lil' Kim to flash you.Unlike many things in life this I assure you is a certainty!His class is great because of its simplicity and lax style.Taking his class can insult ones intelligence.A chipmunk could ace this class.
OMG>>>THIS IS THEEEEEEE MANNNN!!!! the best professor in st johnz..take him take him...i love him
TAKES ATTENDANCE IN BEGINNING OF CLASS COME AND LEAVE LESS THEN 10 ABSENCES 5PTS EXTR. CREDIT TO FINAL GRADE VERY EASY AND NICE TAKE HIM AND GET THAT A THAT U DESERVE BY THE WAY U R PAYIN FOR IT EASY A HE IS THE MAN GUARANTEED A TAKE HIM THE BEST TEACHER
I took him for Fall '04 He's great You're allowed 10 absenses if you don't use them up by the end of the semester you get 5 pts for final exam 2 take home essays if hand in early 5 pts for each on your final exam Final exam is open book Very helpful take him he's excellent He really cares about us
hes really really nice. take him for logic even if you don't plan to go to law school or anyhting. take him for an elective. hes very nice and understanding. and you do learn alot!
very kind and helpful. knows a lot.
he's an awesome teacher, goes over the material well, gives the exam well ahead of time so that you can prepare - overall nice guy
Great teacher take him Easy A
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.
easy and fun. had 3 multiple choice exams, all take home. extra-credit for attendance.
This man is not only one of the easiest "A"s at SJU but he is a really nice guy, he has funny jokes/stories and you actually do learn something. He actually makes Logic understandable. Two GENEROUSLY CURVED take home midterms (all MC) and one final (all MC but SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT). YOU MUST TAKE THIS MAN. Believe me, you will not regret it.
Great guy, in my opinion among the best at SJU
AWESOME professor. He seriously has to be the nicest professor at SJU. Very funny also and you learn a lot! Definately take him!!! :)
Ok this guy is Amazing, BUT he has a lisp problem and he talks LOW that u cant listen to him. What makes him great is he gives 2 take home exams, no hwk, attandance in the beg. of class and then u can leave, and he is very sweet and helpful. U need to buy the txtbk if u dont pay attention to him, but the txtbk is HARD!!!
I don't understand what you people are talking about. This class is only easy and great if you are a philosophy major!!! He is very boring and his lisp makes it difficult to understand him. He never writes on the board and it's difficult to get notes since he talks very fast as well. The final is very,very difficult! Don't take, be aware!!!!!!!!
This man is amazing!!!! He is a great professor! You will learn if you go to class because he is so clear....even if you're not interested in the subject matter! And he has his funny moments!!! Most likely the nicest professor that works at St. Johns!!!
Nice professor and easy grader but material is some times difficult and he can get confusing.
this guy is wonderful, funny, tells the most outlandish and hysterical stories, and on top of that isn't super difficult, take him even if it's just for the funny stories he tells
He is a great professor!!!! He is so nice and understanding. Def. an A class....def take him...

Prof Statile is the kindest teacher in all of St Johns. Just 2 take home tests, which he allows you to hand in weeks late if you want, and then the final which is kinda on the hard side, but he grades it very generously. 5 points added to your final average for showing up everyday. This guy is a must take. You will not regret it.
I think Dr. Statile is very Hot
He is the nicest man you will ever meet in your life! You can learn a lot from his lectures. Attend every lecture and take notes and you will be all set for the tests and final. A must take!! GO STATILE!
Great guy! And he's so funny! Logic can get tedious but Dr. Statile is the guy to get you through. Tests are take home, attendance not required (but highly recommended). Do the homework, go to class, and you'll get an A, no problem. Oh, and he gives curves.
The man period. Bring a lunch!!! =D
He may not be the best teacher in the world but he is the definition of an EASY A and is a very nice man. I still am a little confused and shocked as to why i was excused from the final and given an A for the class but yay me and Thank you Prof Statile!!!
This guy is nice, yes. Easy A, yes. But he is not very inspiring or challenging at all. I was bored out of my wits in class and PHIL is my thing! The textbook he wrote is jargon and makes my head spin, and in class he pretty much just lectures more jargon. Theres only take-home tests and extra credit for good attendence.
So nice and 2 take home test essay test and final in class 50 multiple choice. Didnt need to come class that much.
Great professor, very nice man, I had him for Phil II and logic. His lectures makes you think. Thank you Dr. Statile.
LOL If Phil is your thing, then a simple metaphysics textbook shouldn't make your head spin. Clearly you're not adept in philosophy. I have Dr. Statile for Philosophy of Science, awesome professor! He picks your brains.
Really nice guy. Only three take home tests and is very generous in grading. His lectures are pretty interesting in my opinion but it depends on the person. Highly Recommended.
awesome professor! his lectures aren't that inspiring so just bring your laptop and take notes whenever you choose to listen. i never bought the book and wrote all my papers based on the notes i took in class and the internet. handed in the first paper on the last day of classes and still got an A! very lenient. a really nice guy! TAKE HIM!
Dr. Statile is clearly a students teacher. He is extremely nice and caring! Just because he won't fail you does not mean you should not do the work he assigns. I learned a lot with him! For those who do not show up or pay attention in class, I feel sorry for you. You missed out on incredible knowledge!
Okay, he is one of the smartest guys I have EVER met. He's very well-rounded and can talk to you forever about any topic! I took him for philosophy of science. Great lecturer, very knowledgeable, attendance isn't mandatory at all and he's an easy grader. What more do you want!? Take him for ANY phil class!
excellent teacher. brilliant. will be taking him again. highly recommend.
He is a great man. Very understanding to any problems that you may have during semester. I recommend taking him.
THE BEST! Super easy if you go to class and take notes. No papers, just three exams worth the same amount and they are all take home. TAKE HIM!
He's easy. Just make sure you take notes in class on the main things. 3 take-home tests that are all pretty easy. Takes attendance. Great guy. Easy A.
BEST PHILOSOPHY PROF EVER! All test including midterm and final are take home. His class is a little boring and easy to fall asleep in but if you try and stay awake and take notes you can just base all your papers on your notes and you'll get an A
Great professor. He knows teaching techniques and has huge knowledge. Checks attendance, is amiable to help, easy going. Two exams and a final = all take home.
Super easy professor!! Easy A!! Takes attendence so please show up in class. Nothing to do beside 3 exams (5 to 8 essay questions per each) are all take home and email submit (accept late submit). But BE CAREFUL if you decide to copy and paste online when doing take home exams. He will fail you if he discovered you work just copied and pasted!
Dr. Statile is incredible. He is extremely kind and humble. His lectures may seem dry if you zone out but pay attention and you will be intellectually rewarded. I stressed on my 3 take homes but you shouldn't. He gives extensive tailored feedback so put effort. Write honestly. TB NOT necessary if you take OK notes. Take homes 5-8q 500-800 words ea.
Excellent professor. If you attend his classes, paying attention and taking notes you should have no problem doing take home assignments. These assignments are not necessarily easy but possible to do. Dr Statile is a good grader and will give you good feed back.
Has 3 exams, all are take home. However he requires at least 500 words on each question (5-10 questions) which gets a bit tedious. Super friendly guy but his lectures are so boring. Attendence is required for +5 points to your final grade. Definitely knows a lot about philosophy but doesnt execute in a great way.
Took him online, easy A. 500 word essay due every Sunday which are boring at times but doable. 1 exam at the end of the semester which wasn't the hardest thing in the world but it takes time. If you do whatever he asks you to do and if you follow the syllabus, it's guaranteed an A (unless you're lazy)
I really like philosophy but his class didn't really excite me. His lectures are pretty boring which is a shame because the material is actually really interesting. Overall an easy class but I wish it would've been more fulfilling.
Hardest philosophy professor ever
Good guy, solid professor. Course consisted of two take-home tests and a take-home final. A lot of writing, but he uploads PowerPoints to blackboard so you don't have to take notes in class. Lectures every class and takes attendance. Gives extra points on the final if you have good attendance. Submit the exams on time and you'll get an A.
Dr. Statile is a fantastic person and professor. I learned a lot in his class (phil of sci), but the lectures did get boring. I would recommend him, though, overall. Reading at least the main points of the text is necessary to a good grade. Three take-home tests that are super long (10-20 hrs depending) but good class overall and brilliant guy.
Cool professor, my class is at 9 a.m and I'm a commuter, he was respectful and understood if I was late to class and lateness did not affect my grade.
he's the nicest professor you will ever have. hes so understanding and can tell that he truly cares about all of his students. three take home tests that are pretty long but you'll get an A. his lectures are so boring but he posts notes online so you don't have to pay attention. felt bad skippling his class cause he's so nice lol
He has to be nicest professor on this campus. He knows not everyone likes the topic, so he makes the class as easy as humanly possible. Coming to class is EC so its optional. 2 take home exams, 1 take home final, all of which are graded very liberally. All the notes are posted on his blackboard page. I never opened the textbook. Take him.
Bright eyes will catch bright eyes.
I took Professor Statile's class online and it was very simple. There were weekly papers due but they were only 500 words minimum and to help with the papers, he gave out many readings and videos to help guide us which was very helpful. He was very accessible by email and was a tremendous help with any questions you had.
The BEST professor you can ever take! He's so sweet and very understanding. All you need to do is show up to class, he takes attendance daily. He posts all of his notes online and all tests are take home. Use the notes for the test and you'll do amazing. He is seriously the best, I felt bad not paying attention sometimes, seriously the best!
Seriously the best, loved him! TAKE HIM, you will not regret it. All tests are take home and all you need is the notes (which he puts online) and you'll do amazing. The tests are time consuming, but seriously the best Phil 3000 you can take!!!
Take him take him take him. His lectures can be a little boring, but he is honestly the nicest professor Ive had at SJU. This class is so STRESS FREE! Just 3 take-home tests. No hw.
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.
Amazing. So nice and wants his students to pass! Take!! You also learn a lot!
Statile's online metaphysics class is so easy would def recommend if you're a pharmD kid. Theres weekly 500 page paper but they're super easy u DO NOT need the textbook everything is in his notes and discussion board can literally be about anything covered that week the final is also in his full semester notes TAKE HIMMMM
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!
Dr Statile is an amazing professor. His class is very easy to follow along with. I learned so much and really enjoyed it at the same time. I recommend any of his classes. He is very sweet and an amazing professor!
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!
Super easy class, only tests, no midterm of final. You don't even have to show up to class and he even emails the videos of the lecture to you automatically.
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.
Hes a little boring for me, but he has his moments. He involves the class, is funny, and clearly passionate. Easy A, tests are easy, and all the notes are on canvas
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!!!!
10 papers and a 50MCQ final. best metaphysics prof to take. a lot of reading but very organized canvas page (asynch) and detailed feedback. great response time, overall a wise & caring professor. take him!
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.
10 one paged essays, he posts all at same time so you can do whenever, such an easy grader and gives amazing feedback. Definitely take him
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.
