Online class took less than an hour a week, had time to look up all the answers for the tests online. Easy class and I am taking another one from him.

A little monotonous though brings up interesting discussion questions. The course load is light and the exams are easy

If you are looking for an easy A, take one of his online courses. Little time and effort required, but you will learn some interesting things.

Mt Ludes is so hot I could hardy concentrate in class. I have no idea what he was talking about in class because all I could think about was how hot he was.I would take his class again just to watch him flip his hair behind his ear. And those lips........

damn. he so cute. sigh. one of the reasons i go there ever class sessions! haha.

This guy is COOL. A easy class and the professor ROCKS! Doesn't really give a damn about stuff, and makes execuses when late to class.

I LOVED hearing about the cats!!!! Wish he would talk more. What's up with da bump lately anyway (that cat is PHAT and FAT). Glad U got the Roomba for all that fur. Later.

I wish all UNLV teachers were like him. I learned so much in his class. He's an example of what a teacher should be. I learned to enjoy Philosophy through him. I recomend the class to anyone.

Cool online class. Easy A if you do the work. Tests are based on applying concepts so as long as you know how to apply what you read you should be good. Only 50% of class is based on tests which gives room to improve grades if you should bomb one.

Great teacher. Pretty easy class. I'm taking his 102 class this summer just because i liked his 101 so much.

He is an OKAY professor. He gives quizzes every week that you do online, they are hard but at least you can use your book. The final paper is easy as long as you do your research and don't BS your way through it. Plus he's a cutie.

Summer session classes are always intense, and this was no exception. There was a lot of material to cover, and a limited time to cover it. John's personality carried the class; his easiness in his teaching style made every class exciting and interesting -- I just wish we had a more structured grading system. I give Ludes a "check plus!"

He's a cool guy! He could totally model for Versace. And he sort of looks like Keanu Reeves!! The class is fun if there are people who speak their mind.

he doesnt look like keaanu reeves but he's hot for a professor..lectures are interesting and he's intelligent...i recommend his class

Interesting class. Not really the subject, but just watching him teach is pretty funny. Esp. if you have dumb blondes in the class - he'll tell it like it is. Awesome.

It was a couple of years ago that I had him, but I thought he was a pretty amazing professor :-)

Simply great! I enjoyed his class very very much! great work flow, great discussions, and great personality... if you plan on taking PHI 101... get Ludes!

Unfortunatly, being blonde has nothing to do with his class so the brunette and red head haters should probably get a clue before they leave such a FRESHMAN remark. He, on the other hand is a very good prof.

i have to say I loved his class. and it's true he can tell who is dumb and who is dumber just by looking at them. he is very smart but kind. I like him not only becuase he is cute but becuase he is really good at what he can be. becareful of what you say to him, he is a philosopher.

Took his class over the summer. I very much enjoyed the discussions, I'm a natural philosopher. However, I think he is fairly moody and not very patient with some issues. Other than that, he is a pretty good teacher and pretty laid back most of the time.

I don't know what everybody else is talking about, ya he has an attendance policy but as long as you go and show some effort, it's so easy! His class was fun because he lets us debate against one another so we can understand the concepts better & he gives us an outline of what to study before the tests. Very helpful and very easy!

hE IS PRETTY COOL. I NEVER EXPRERIENCED THE NEGATIVE STUFF OTHERS SAID. HE DOES HAVE ATTENDANCE POLICY, BUT ITS HELPFUL TO SHOW UP BECAUSRE SOME OF THE FINAL IS FROM CLASS DISCUSSION. VERY HOTT!!!

Grade is based on 2 tests, five page paper, and attendance. First test was a killer, but he added points to it if you showed significant improvement on the final, which was much easier. He focuses more on applications and thought experiments, not famous philosophers and their specific theories. Posts notes on webcampus, fun class, would recommend!

This is the second distance ed course I took from Professor Ludes and they were great. Maybe some students were hoping for an easy A and didn't get it! If read and do the assignments which isn't too much work you will do well. The class was fun and the professor was very helpful and answered my questions right away. I'd take him again for sure.

I had to take this class online and at first I was a little nervous but the class is actually really good. As long as you keep up with the discussion posts, readings and understand concepts you should be fine. Every time I sent an e-mail asking a question he responded rather quickly and helped me out. Quiz questions could be a little vague.

Class was overall easy. I took it online. Prof wasn't around to interact, he just left it up to us. Questions were always answered. Quiz questions were VERY vague, to the point of frustration.

Took as an online class! He answered all emails in with a good turnaround time. He only grades posts 2 times during the semester and did not put the grades up for the one assignment/discussions until last week. Quiz questions are very vague, worked my butt off to receive an A-, but took over summer. Good Luck!

28 discussion posts, 56 responses, 13 quizzes, one 5 page paper due at the end, midterm, final, multiple readings and videos and podcasts. Overall not a bad class. Be prepared to work for your grade, you cannot just coast all semester.

Gives weekly 10 point T/F quizzes. 2 weekly discussion posts, a midterm, final, and an 8-10 page essay. Straightforward.

The class was intimidating at the begging but, after few weeks, got easier and felt more confident to voice out my opinion on the class discussions. My favorite part was the flexible schedule to complete the assignments, second, web posting, third the integration of 3 books & pod cast as a learning tool. If you like to learn? take this class.

I thought professor Ludes was great! There were 3 weekly discussions, a weekly quiz, final & a 5 page essay (summer class). The work is tough, yes, but not impossible as compared other PHIL professors. Responded back to emails the same day & does help you succeed if you reach out. His class was thought-provoking & informative. Would take him again!

I was 4 weeks behind in work and I emailed him explaining I had some personal issues going on and would take the late penalty. However, he barely penalized me for those late assignments when I did turn them all in! He's very understanding and willing to work with you if you just COMMUNICATE!

Not really a tough grader, but honestly there was quite a bit of work every week. 2 discussion posts and quiz/a week. Definitely had to sit down and set aside a few hours for hw every week. Books are needed! However, once you're in the groove of it honestly it's really not bad/hard work, just tedious. Don't be intimidated if this is ur only choice!

great teacher. class and expectations structured and clear. took him again this semester. like him even more the second time around. taking him again this summer.

So much busy work. Was intimidating at first, especially being an online class and a philosophy class! But once I got into the hang of things, the work was so easy and straightforward. You could get by without reading the book bc discussions were mainly opinion-based. But you did have to read certain parts of the book for some discussions though.

Responded within 24 hrs to all my emails, very nice professor and easy grader! Hi syllabus stresses that NO LATE work is ever accepted but I'm sure he does that bc it is an introductory college class and you tend to slack off your first couple years of college, trust me, we've all been there. You definitely have to put in the work for an A

A ton of busy work, but very easy and straightforward. There is 2 discussion posts, 4 peer response posts, a quiz every single week. Also a 5 page paper, midterm, and final. Sounds like a lot but its nearly all opinion-based and you can honestly bs/reword everything, it's easy I promise. Gotta put in the work though and do it!

I was super nervous about taking him at first cause all of the reviews, but if he is your only option it's not as bad as everyone says! Just a ton of busy work but super easy and you can totally bs it all. If you have hesitations, don't worry just take his class.

Good easy class but tons of busy work. Also, he did not attach any deadlines to anything so they did not appear in my main calendar on WebCampus. Thus, I did not know we had any work due for weeks cause it did not pop up in my calendar. So double check the syllabus and open the modules lol that was my fault on my end. Easy grader and lenient!

His syllabus says a strict NO LATE policy... but I posted my discussions about 4 weeks after they were due lol. He accepted them all and only docked off a single point. COMMUNICATE! My personal life became overwhelming and I just told him and he was lenient. If you are a freshman, you still submit that late work and own up to your slacking.

lots of readinfs that can be confusing. prof is super nice and willing to help you out

Course was straight forward. There were two discussions every week followed by a quiz of the weeks lecture. So far, it was alright.

Took this class for the Fall 2021 semester. It was completely online. There are about 30 Discussion boards that are mandatory, 2 per week over the course of the semester sometimes 1. Theres a midterm and a final. A critical analysis essay. If you do all the work according to the rubric youll pass with a high grade.

John was a great professor his online class was structured very well and had clear criteria on what to complete and when. Overall it is a lot of work and reading, but it could be worse. Two discussion posts a week and one quiz per week as well. The topics were very interesting making the discussion fun to complete and making you wanna write.

John Ludes was an understanding professor that responded to emails fast and efficiently.

will need to get the book because it will be used. will need to participate in all discussion boards because of their importance. nice guy overall, very interesting topics. One easy paper to write by the course end, make it real don't make it complicated. get the book don't get the ebook, his pages and yours will be different. you'll have fun.

2 discussions each week, 200+ words w 100+ responses. quizzes each week. hate philosophy but if you read the syllabus you'll be fine. he's not a hard grader if you read the rubrics and the readings you can get around not doing.

I had John Ludes for SNHU Into to Philosophy (PHL210). I really liked this professor. He gave great feedback and was very thought-provoking. This course has a lot of reading and writing, but I found it easy to write more than the required text due to the subject matter. He was responsive and engaging. I would definitely take a class from him again!

This online philosophy course has a solid structure, with weekly discussions and quizzes. The textbook is essential, and while the workload can be heavy, the interesting topics make it worthwhile. unstuckstudy proved helpful for organizing study materials.

The entirety of this course is dependent on you test grades so be prepared for that. However the professor can be accommodating if you explain your situation to him. The tests themselves are quite easy, and the discussion posts don't take long. Lots of reading and textbooks to read through though, so get ready to look for them or shell out a lot.
