Very good and fair teacher, his class is very interesting. The tests and quizzes he gives are pretty hard however. You must keep up with the book readings to do well

Very interesting class. He is stern but good hearted. He pushes us to learn for our own good.

Mr. Frith was very interesting and kept the class in constant discussion. It's easy to do well in the class if you read the book! It's hard to read, but if you can comprehend it, you're good to go on the tests. The final exam is pretty difficult! Essays.

I find this instructor to be very passionate. He has a particular style because he has been teaching hundreds of students for years. His stories help to illustrate his point. I was not looking forward to taking this class and now it has become my favorite.

Loved the journal assign., Found lectures interesting, early class(I never passed out in the class) Frith watches for attendance so keep up, fairly sure of grading scale, and you don't have to read the extra books. Definitely love philosophy enjoyed this class.

She should be teaching Honors classes. I wants the best from students. You must avoid sloppiness of any kind, such as coming late for classes, being absent consistently, missing "his" journal assignments. Other than that, if you are a responsible student and love to argue, take him.

Prof.Frith is a great teacher. Philosophy is a total bore, but he does have extra credit assignments. I felt his tests were fairly easy as long as you read the general material. You have to remember that this is college not hold my hand high school!!!

Herb Frith is a really good guy. I am a born again Christian and of course I didn't see I too eye with everything he said; but I thought he was full of knowledge and was very interesting. His test were fair but he just didn't hand out A's. All and all, he was a good instructor.

the readings were incredibly boring, as were the class discussions.

Frith is a good teacher. Go to class, do the work and turn your journals in on time and you will make a good grade.

What a great teacher! He has policies that are fair and respectful to both himself and the class. You do actually have to work for an A: do the journals, listen and take notes in class, and by the end you will have an A. I didn't read but maybe 1 ch. out of the book, most of test comes from notes.

I thought Professor Frith was fair. He does demand good behavior in the classroom. I found him to be respectful of students, open to class discussions, and interesting. I enjoyed his class and his dry sense of humor. All in all a great professor !!!

not a bad guy all together, typical old guy set in his ways. 2 Garuntees: you WILL learn something in the class, and you WILL be kicked out if your late. Not a skate through class, but not too difficult if you have the time and half a brain...and yes...10 page final

He's a good teacher. He's helpful and makes sure everyone understands the subjects. But, if you aren't going to give your all, then don't bother. You'll flunk. There's a ten page final paper, but if you really know the material, it's easy enough to do.

He is mad strict, but it helped me take school more seriously.

Really great teacher, as long as you're actually interested in philosophy.

You have to study, but he's pretty decent.

This is probably the best Professor I've ever had. The workload is fairly low, though you can't be an idiot and expect to pass. He is a stickler for attendance, but so much information comes from his lectures that not showing up means you won't know enough to pass anyway. Don't expect to show up tardy very often, that really annoys him.

Frith has to be one of the wisest men alive. I hope he never dies and just continues teaching until the end of time!

Wonderfully insightful ad excellent in class.

Good guy. Can have some biased views but at that age most people do. Frith at least creates an aura of freedom in the class, which he'll indulge if he chooses. Still a very smart man and a fun teacher at a rather drab school. Definately take if you're interested in the subject and want something to spice up your schedule.

Frith is an interesting man he's not a person to take if you're only trying to get the easy A. He is very passionate about his work and what he teaches. I would not recommend his class if you're trying to slack through college. He will make you work, like you should, to get your grade but in doing so I will tell you this, you will learn.

He is the definition of a great prof. He is respectful, very intelligent, and very open minded. If you are interested in the subject you will love any of his classes. Be warned that he does take attendence seriously and it does effect your grade, but you wont want to miss his classes anyway. The pic on his site looks like an AARP magazine cover.

Graet teacher, extremly educated. Don't let the 10 page final scare you. He is very fair and gives you a percent to keep you at your current grade point or bump you up to the next.

Frith is a college professor, he is a stickler for rules, but if you come to class and LISTEN to what he says you will learn. I only read one chapter of the text and have a 100% in his class. Just listen!

I took Philosophy I and Intro to Applied Ethics with this teacher. If you're the kind of student who wants to learn and do well, Frith will be your favorite teacher. If you're the kind of student looking to just slip by with a C, then this is not the professor for you.

A very interesting course. amusing and funny how he went off and talked about other things while teaching.

I didnt study that much and did all the extra credit and got an easy A. The extra credit wasnt that hard. I enjoyed his class. If you are lazy do not take this class.

I've taken Frith for ever single class that he offers; he is a very intellegent professor who teaches for the betterment of his students. He is hard on attendance and rules. He expects you to work hard to achieve your grades; if you're expecting to skate through college don't take him, you will fail.

Professor Frith remains, 4 years later, the most influential professor in my life, maybe one of the most influential people so far. To undo taking his classes would be to change who I am as a person. Yes, he is a grumpy old guy like they say. But I will always love him for showing me what to do with my mind.

If you're serious about school (read: you're actually interested in getting an education) you'll love Frith and his classes. Not only are his assignments thought provoking, but they'll leave you with a real sense of accomplishment. Every intellient student I know has walked away from Frith's classes a better, stronger person.

I was surprised to see a professor of Frith's caliber at a community college. What I learned in his Applied Ethics class stays with me to this day. If you're looking to coast through a class, look elsewhere. He WILL make you work for your grade. If you want to LEARN the material, take this professor!

Loved the class. Optional assignments are in reality mandatory if one would like to recieve an A. The material discussed is more interesting than any other class.

frith is awsome. his class is a little on the hard side but i just enjoy his lectures so much that i dont mind. he relly gets me thinking you know? he trully is one of my favorites.

Good, not great teacher but class give you an introduction to Phil principals you need to eventually expand on whether in his class our your own personal life.

Best Teacher Ever.

great teacher. just do the work and there's no reason you shouldn't get an A. i cant believe all the bad reviews i'm reading about him. anyone who failed this class seriously must suck at life.

Good teacher. His PHI class is nothing but lecture, take good notes and you should pass. And the "suggested" reading is really required if you want to pass with anything above a b. Attendence is crucial. Overall, pretty awesome teacher.

Most amazing man ever. Anyone who gave him a bad review is just ignorant and thinks that they can go through college with no effort. Lectures are not boring, and all parallel books are amazing.

Final paper was difficult but should be easy if begun in the beginning of the semester. Everything you need to know is in the text. See all the movies, if you don't you won't receive a grade. Try not to miss any classes, it isn't worth it. He makes you really work for your grade but you really begin to understand the reality of the class.

I had a good experience in his class. Some of his lectures are hard to take early in the morning, but I always did good on the tests from studying from the book and his lectures. He's a very good professor.

When I first started this class I thought it would be difficult, but in fact it really isn't. Just read the text he assigns and watch the videos. Try not to miss a class or it would hurt you grade badly especially if you have the class Tuesdays and Thursdays. He's a really cool guy and actually has some humor. I would love to take another one of hi

When I first started this class I thought it would be difficult, but in fact it isn't that hard. Just read the text and watch the videos he assigns. He is a very good professor and I would love to take another one of his classes.

Frith is one badass dude. His class was fun and he seems like a very intelligence person. Everything he says is cumulative and based on logic. I enjoyed his course (applied ethics) and would definitely recommend it! did I mention how bad ass his beard was?

Frith is brilliant. He's been teaching at the college for over 50 years and it shows. He has very little patience for those who do not follow the rules or fail to treat his classroom with respect. Easy, yet rewarding class that I would recommend to anyone.

While I understand that his voice can be a bit monotone, his class is NOT hard. He just requires you to do the work (shocking I know) people who say his class is hard are clearly used to being spoon fed knowledge. He is always helpful and willing to answer questions. I have learned more about myself in this class than I would have expected.

If you don't plan on doing the work you will fail. He has a journal due everyother Friday, which were easy. A test every 2 weeks around 10-16 questions which weren't too difficult. You have an option to read 3 parallel books, I recommend you read all 3. His final is answering 3 questions of what you learned. There were no presentations. TAKE NOTES!

Interesting reading these comments. I was taught by Professor frith in 1988 and 1999. He introduced me to my favorite author, Ayn Rand. I graduated from MCC and went on to earn a BS, MPA and MBA. He is one professor that has always stuck in my mind over the years. He was great.

Professor Frith was one of my best professors. He made the requirements very cut and dry. He challenged your thought process and urged you to grow intellectually. Overll great individual.

Frith is a great teacher but like many Philosophy teachers, they want to leave a legacy behind like the men and women they study which in turn clouds their connection with their students. Tests are straight forward and journals are mandatory. I enjoyed the 3 classes I took with him and he is thought provoking but too fixated on his own ideas.

Frith is my favorite professor by far. Not only have I learned about philosophy but I have learned about life as well. I have found the peopl that don't like Frith are generally not serious about school or life. Frith pulls no punches. He lets u know what he expects and does not falter from that position. Go to class, take notes, read your book...

I like him. Class is boring unless you are super interested in that kind of thing. He is a good teacher, and I enjoy the grin he gets on his face when he makes a joke (rare). Take him. All ethics classes are going to be boring. At least he is a good teacher.

I took his intro to philosophy and loved it. If you respect him and do your work you won't have to deal with his irritated side. Lectures were interesting and he is really funny as well. You can also apply what you learn in his class to every day life. He really makes you think. Overall GOOD GUY!
