A nice person but so far she's somehow managed to make a subject like Harry Potter both my hardest and most boring class.

Nice, but probably the most horrible graders at BSC. I normally don't mind tough graders, but she just doesn't make sense and her corrections aren't justified.

She seems to know what she's talking about. However, she has a tendency to explain the philosophy portions TO DEATH--- like spending 20 minutes on one sentence of Aristotle. It isn't even in a productive way. She just spends almost all of the time coming up with 4-5 different anecdotes that all illustrate the same point.

Three papers and a final paper. No midterm or final exam. You must have a copy of the assigned books. No tests or quizzes. Attendance is mandatory. If you're taking her Harry Potter/ Marvel/ Hunger Games class, you should watch the movies or knows the story. You'll watch them in class, but knowing about the characters will help the papers a lot.

Professor Mogg is what I consider the ideal professor. Many of the reviews mention she is a tough grader. This is true, BUT, she gives you the opportunity to submit an essay outline to her, which she gives TONS of feedback on! Also, if you miss 0-5 classes, you get 1-5 points added to your final grade. She is an amazing professor and very helpful!

grading criteria is super unclear and it can lead to many papers resulting in an F. Tried to have a sit down session and she is very tough to work with. Not much work but the essays alone would take days. Would only recommend to very skilled writers with understandings of philosophy.

Lots of homework

Very hard grader. If you can write papers well and like to read the related material relevant to the class then youll like it. It wasnt for me because I am not the best at writing papers. I got 2 Fs out of 3 papers. Overall shes nice but you seriously have to be ready to spend time reading and writing.

Dr. Mogg is an amazing professor. She understands what shes teaching and will gladly help in anyway that she can. I loved her Marvel class & I would absolutely take her class again. The work load is normal & as long as you pay attention and do the work, youll easily pass. Explains lessons very clearly & an overall amazing professor.

Prof Mogg is a nice person but her class is no joke. Be prepared to read 24/7 and write papers. Throughout the class i thought i was grasping the material and doing well but i was wrong. When i got my essays back they were almost always wrong and shes fairly unclear about what she wants in them. Other than that she was pretty nice/easygoing.

Professor Mogg takes your progression in writing into consideration which I found extremely helpful. Just remember to read what's assigned and put the Aristotle chapters into your own words through notes. Also, attend lectures, it's worth it.

I really enjoyed being in Dr. Mogg's class. It is one I really wish I was able to experience in person and in a classroom. This is a writing intensive course. I do not recommend this class if you do not like to write. Kind of a tough grader. Dr. Mogg is very intelligent and creative. I took her Marvel class and she made Aristotle very interesting.

Dont let the flashy pop culture disguises fool you, Dr. Moggs classes are full blown philosophy and the material is super challenging if you havent taken these kinds of classes before. If youre not understanding it from the beginning do your self a favor and drop early, she takes no prisoners with her grading.

Dr. Mogg is good professor but I think she is one of those professors that thinks because we are doing an online class she needs to assign more work. Lots of online assignments and quizzes, most of which feel like busy work. Only three essays and you get to rewrite them after her feedback which is nice, but it can be a lot of work. Lots of reading.

In her first year seminar the allows you to rewrite all of your essays for a better grade using the feedback she gives you. I am taking another class with her next semester, take her if you can!

Great professor for Philosophy. She is a bit lecture-heavy but tends to wind it down with a lot of real-life stories or examples that play into Aristotle. During the Fall semester of 2021, she had a lot of family stuff going on and had to cancel a class a couple of times, but she still was available for help. Assignments and essays are good as well

Did not enjoy the class at all. Three papers for the semester holding all the weight. without warning very tough grader will take a lot of points off for grammar before she dives into tearing apart your paper. She will get off topic a lot during lectures. Make sure you do all readings tough to stay on top of it but will pay off for the essays.

Mogg is super funny and kind, her classes are super enjoyable, some of the grading criteria is a bit unclear but she holds conferences and is helpful then. She does very well at taking confusing passages and putting them into modern day scenarios. Philosophy is super difficult for me but she is super helpful and is good at responding to any emails.

Good lectures, just make sure to do the reading beforehand as both are necessary to get the material. She gets off topic at times but it's generally a fun and welcoming environment. If you're not a writer you might struggle with this class as it's essay-heavy. But hey, you get to write essays about the MCU, so it's pretty good.

Very fun and relatable person when she wants to be, but can turn her mood in a split second. Gets mad at the class for not understanding when she just talks and talks for 50 minutes and expects us to absorb any of it. Confusing grader, and super strict about writing. You watch 3 Marvel films and write a four-page paper on each one.

This course is interesting but also kinda hard to understand, especially if you're not into Aristotle like me. It's essay heavy, so you write three essays in the class. If you want a good grade, follow the instructions exactly, and when she gives feedback, use it, because she's basically giving you the answers.That's how you'll pass :)

Dr. Mogg is awesome super personable. I plan on taking her Y2 seminar. The OLA grading is on completion but other grading is unclear. Best advice...DO ALL YOUR READINGS. I like how her textbook is inexpensive so no excuse not to read it. She's very reachable out of class. She breaks down Aristotle very well. I highly recommend as a freshman.

Dr. Mogg is an AMAZING professor!! She is funny during lectures, remembers your name if you talk after class, and her essays are straightforward. Her grading is lenient. Even if you don't know much about Marvel beforehand, the class is definitely doable. She is aware about your other classes' workloads too. WOULD RECOMMEND TAKING IF POSSIBLE!
