Good professor and a really fun class. You won't be bored in his class!

Pretty decent prof. Class based on three tests, have to write a lot of papers in which you get full credit if you write anything. He knows how to argue, which is important for a phil class.

Very persuasive arguing style. You'll learn a lot in this class and you'll have fun doing it. Great teacher, really makes you think about your beliefs.

Very Interesting Class, taught by a good teacher. I really like this class.

Very funny teacher, wierd looking, but he really knows what he's talking about. Tests arn't bad, some studying.

Lectures everyday, usually boring. Hard tests, one of the type that feels the need to confuse you on every question. There are only 100 points all semester so don't screw up on a test. 75 points are tests and 25 from papers.

This is a very interesting course. His lectures were always good. Do the damn papers. They arent worth much but there are next to no points in this class. it is an easy A if you actually try.

Pretty smart guy...usually had insightful things to say, yet sometimes he didn't seem to "get it". He was a little pompous, but in a funny way- hey if you give dumb answers to questions you deserve it. And whats up with the mullet?

Pretty good prof. Interesting class. Tests are pretty hard, but if you study they're okay.

Intersting class. Show up, write down what he writes on the board, type it up, turn it in and thats all the homework you have. Very sarcastic, and very funny. If you cant think outside the box you wont like him. Would take him again in a heart beat.

He is interestingly sarcastic. The class is interesting and really easy. The papers are a breeze. I took my first test on Friday and found it to be way easier than i had anticipated.

I really enjoyed both this class and this professor. I was really surprised when I heard so many people didn't like him. The topics are somewhat controversial and he always managed to present them in an interesting (witty/sarcastic) and unbiased manner. You must do the two point papers! It makes a difference. Take notes, tests were not hard.

This guy is great. A lot of people don't like him because he is sarcastic and tells you when you are wrong. If you are a mature adult, his jokes are funny. I would definetly take him again. Don't take him if you can't handle the truth.

Pretty good teacher. The 2 point papers and the tests are pretty easy

The reviews that claim Jordan is arrogant or a poor teacher are totally exaggerated. I never got that impression. If you're a student who spends more time at the bar than at class, avoid him. If you've killed over half your brain cells with a bong, avoid him. If you enjoy wit and challenging your preconceptions, you'll enjoy his class.

really knew what he was talking about. you absolutely need to be in class or you won't do well. the exams are the hardest tests I've ever taken, as well... the phrasing of the questions is just confusing and long. you know where he stands on each topic, but he tries not to push it on you too much. overall a very interesting class.

I think he's a good professor, kind of annoying at times! His tests are pretty hard and you have to STUDY and read everything. Must go to class EVERYDAY in order to pass this class. Paper due every Friday on lecture notes, and if you miss a class and don't get the info, you won't get the full 2 points on the paper. I enjoyed taking his class.

i bombed the first 2 exams and i turned ina paper every friday and i must have done good on the last exam cause i ended up with a C in the class. i slept most of the time. Its a interesting class but boring and by far the hardest mult. choice tests i've ever seen

The class was harder than it seemed. I went into tests and left tests thinking I had everything down, but ended up getting C's. The questions are tricky. He's availible to help you, but hard to talk to because of his bad attitude. Although he's a jerk, he's fine from a distance. Just don't say something you can't back up; he'll rip you apart.

He's a jerk and his class is very difficult, there's only 100 points (3 tests, like 12 papers)and the tests are ridiculously hard.I took this class 2 times-you really need to take amazing notes and study like crazy for the tests.he tells you everything you need to know, you just need to know how to study it!Don't argue with him either, you wont win

easiest phil class i have ever taken. he tells you exactly what will be on the tests and no comprehensive finals. papers are done weekly but you just have to rewrite your notes and helps to keep the information in your mind for the tests. can seem like a jerk but super easy class.

the tests werent that difficult u just cant over think the questions, go with your gut and you will do fine! Also u have to pay attention in class, u cant expect to fully understand if u dont listen. As for the papers go its easiest if u just write what u talked about in class the same day, it takes like 15 min cus it is fresh in your mind

Go to class and listen. Write a very easy paper every week about the lecture. I only needed to study 10 min to get and B+/A- on his test and when I study an hour for the last I got 100%. The class is strait forward. Carnut teaches the matarial and you learn it. This professer can be taken without fear.

The class was interesting. He only seems condescending to make a point! He argues every topic both ways and he fights objecters just to prove the point in the reading. I only read one reading and still got a good grade. The test can get confusing but if you are a competent person and listened at all in class you will do good.

At first he might seem to be a boring, lecture-style professor who will argue any point you try to make. He's not really. He oozes awesomeness. He will question anything because it makes you think and can stimulate discussion. Good, no? Just show up and put in a modest amount of effort. I've heard good things from friends about office visits, too.

Jordan is a cool professor; although he's extremely arrogant and makes the exams way harder than they need to be. GO TO CLASS, take notes, and READ and you should do okay. Office visits are helpful too if you're confused.

Seems rude the first few days of class but he is an okay professor. Can be funny; really knows what he is talking about. Pretty easy class if you show up and pay attention.

Jordan gave a lot of energy to the class. I could tell he has a great love for his work,and really tries to get across to the students. His tests were hard, but I am a college student and I should have been a better one. Best about him is he is just TOO CUTE!!! VERY EASY ON THE EYES!!!!

At first, he definately seemed like an obnocious spaz, but after a couple days he isnt so bad. He's funny and very smart. He's great at teaching, very clear. The only thing you need to do is go to class and take notes. There is a paper due every friday but all you have to do is turn your notes into complete sentences. Great professor

Phil 212 is sooo interesting! If you show up and take notes you will be fine. The tests are a little tricky but if you turn in your weekly paper (summarize your notes) that can really sway your grade. Great teacher!

1) He is VERY hairy and in desperate need of a new hairdo. Not cute. 2) You have a total of 12 papers, 2 points each. All you have to do is type up your noted and you'll have 2 points. Tests are VERY tricky, just make sure to study the study guide well, at least so you understand who talked about what and what laws, etc.

I thought he was a very nice prof. This is an ethics class and it is very hard to tell what his own opinions are about the topics covered in class. There are 12 papers 2 pts each. All they are are your notes put into paper form. Super easy. The exams are a little difficult but he gives you study guides for them, study them & you will do just fine.

Pretty good professor. You put your weekly notes into a paper form at the end of the week. Super easy to get full credit as long as you were there and took pretty good notes. His tests are pretty hard. He gives out study guides and if you study pretty thoroughly you should do just fine. You can tell that he really enjoys teaching this class.

Lots of notes but clear lectures with class participation. Have to write a paper every week but is 100% graded on content, not length or grammar etc. Don't need the book although it is only $20. Tests kind of tricky but are multiple choice scantrons.

Curnutt is absolutely hilarious. Make no mistake, if you wish to pass his classes you'll need to show up and pay attention. As long as you can handle that much, you will enjoy his classes. He is great at explaining philosophical views and is really smart. He can come off kind of arrogant but you get past it. Nice curve on the final grade. Cool guy.

I have had other phil teachers, and i must say he is the best. It is not a particularly fun class but he knows his stuff. If you go to class, and write his papers you will get a b or an a.

Interesting class

Very suprised to see how many people dislike him so much. He is a very smart man, with wit. He is knowledgable on many topics, and people may feel he is ripping them apart, but what I see is him trying to make the students think. Can he be rude, yes, but it is also rude for people to sleep, talk, or have ringing cell phones in the class.

If you come to class, pay attention, take notes and participate when needed, you will do fine in this class. He is a great professor who teaches with humor, sometimes satire, however,if you are lazy, rude, use a cell phone when you shouldnt, talk or sleep, your going to hate him. But keep in mind, these are things you should NOT be doing anyway!

Although everyone bashes on this prof, he is actually an excellent teacher. He may act rather brash at times and single out people's opinions, but that is because he treats the class as a group discussion (if you don't want to be singled out, keep your opinions to yourself). Actually very approachable. Also, very funny professor.

Everyone claims this class is difficult, but you just have to go into the exams with the mentality that there is ONLY ONE right answer and you will be fine. Don't second guess your instincts!

He knows what he's talking about. As long as you go to class and take notes, the tests will be a breeze.

Very smart professor. The class is only worth 100 points so turn in every 2 point paper!! they are easy just copying down notes from class. Attendance is not mandatory but you need the info from class for your papers. Tests are kinda difficult, but if you study you will be fine! Do not text, talk, eat, or sleep. 5 points off and he is serious.

Curnett is a great professor who really cares about the material. Most important thing is this class is to have an open mind. There is no right/wrong answer when it comes to concepts and he argues both sides evenly. If you need help ask him to explain after class. He makes his own book its only $30 but he goes over everything in class.

Very easy class. Composed of 100 points; 3 tests and 1 paper every week. The papers are a summary of what he lectures in class. He gives you study guides for the tests and if you study your notes based on the study guide an A is very possible.

If you think Curnutt is trying to trick you, then Philosophy isn't where you should be.. He is not being egotistical, he is trying to help you acknowledge there are other viewpoints on a topic and that there is not necessarily a "right answer". If you ask him for help he WILL help you. But you have to put forth some effort on your part as well.

This class is based out of just 100 points. There is a weekly paper due that you basically just type your notes up for. Not a hard class but the tests can be hard because the questions are worded weird just because it's a philosophy class. This is required for nursing students and this is the only prof. Great teacher just not such a great class.

Interesting topics! Have an open mind. 100 points total. Don't skip class, or miss a paper, the papers you turn in every week are a summary of your lecture notes. Don't text, eat, or sleep, he will publicly embarrass you! He gives study guides but the tests are wordy and confusing, don't second guess yourself!

I enjoyed his lectures, but not his exams. He has a very crude sense of humor that is so bad I couldn't help but laugh out of embarrassment. As long as you turn in all your papers and work through the study guides he gives before tests, you should be fine! :)

He's a really great professor and I really enjoyed taking his class. He's not bias on any of the subject matters in the class and he really is clear about the grading process and how he grades things. Overall I really enjoyed taking this class and I would take it again. :)

If you bring food, bring enough for the rest of class, just to surprise him. The tests require thought, unlike any other I've taken at this campus. It's fun, but difficult. Watch some Thomas Frank test-taking strategies before taking one of this guy's classes. He's serious about what he says. Sometimes goes on tangents that last for 20+ mins.

If you're the type of student who just wants to pass you classes and you really don't care if you learn anything, don't take this class. If you like to learn and are willing to put effort into your college experience, this class is a piece of cake. Just go to class and take good notes and study well for the exams and you shouldn't have a problem.

I've gotten 3 As in 3 of his classes. It's really not that hard. Record his lectures to go back and listen to and take very detailed notes you will be fine. The classes are typically a total of 100 points. People slack on doing the papers that are worth 2 points each. If you miss all the papers you'll drop down to 76 points and have a C.

Class is going to kick your ass but is overall a good experience. Although he can be a bit weird at times hes a charming and overall understanding guy. If you can get through all the work you will be glad you took the class at the end.

Curnutt is an interesting professor. Lectures engaging and he wants to make you think. He's a nice guy and isn't an idealogue stereotypical ethics professor. 3 Exams, easy and curved, each make up 25% of grade. Other 25% is from weekly papers which are reciting notes taken in class. He's a nice guy with a sense of humour but can be sorta arrogant.

One of my all time favorite teachers. He doesn't deserve all the dislike that he gets.

Like many other SCSU phil profs, Jordan has been outstanding. He is well-spoken, hilarious, a fairly tough grader (which I prefer for many reasons), and he seems like a good person in general. His classes are structured well and easy to follow as a result. Lectures are entertaining and engaging. Looking forward to my next class with him!

I enjoyed this class more than I thought I would, gets more hate than he deserves. Takes an old school approach, so no electronics at all, doesn't post the lecture slides online so make sure to show up, is very direct. Only 50min course so goes quickly. The weekly papers are just typing up your notes. Show up, take notes, do hw and you'll be fine.
