One of the best teachers of my educational life. If you're into philosophy it makes the class that much better, but if you're not really into it he sort of understands that KBCC isn't a school of scholars and would-be philosophers so there is an air of laid-backness to his class. Note taking and attendance are the keys to getting a good grade.

He is a very funny professor and in my opinion resembles Ellen DeGeneres by the way he acts. however his classes may be fun but only if you're into what he is teaching.

Wouldn't take again

Not a good professor at all. I took him online during the spring semester and I still have nightmares. He grades discussion posts as actual exams and when you ask him about his comments, he says "because I'm right". Exams are also all based on his view of philosophy. AVOID!!!!

AVOID AVOID AVOID!! Prior to taking this class, I read the posted reviews on RMP and based on the majority of positive reviews, I decided to take this class. However, I was disappointed with the way he taught. It's almost like he purposefully wants everyone to fail. Removes all graded quizzes, all discussion boards, which are good sources of study.

Professor will not allow other students to see feedback from someone elses question, will personally email the student who asked a question on a discussion board that is specifically for "QUESTIONS".

I was floored at how rude and unhelpful this professor was, so much so that I dropped his class mid-semester. I will pursue this credit elsewhere. Feedback reads as condescending and aloof. The class is reading-intensive, found it to be not engaging. Unless one loves tens of pages written in archaic English, it is not a class I would recommend.

This is one of the worst professors .Don't understand how the amount of work put in turned into an F. There was lots of reading to do and work itself isn't terrible but the grading process makes no sense. Grading is also put in last minute while our assignments can't be late or won't be accepted at all. Don't recommend this class or professor.

FELSER is such an amazing professor and lecturer. I highly recommend taking their classes when you're provided opportunities to. You will gain great fundamentals which will stick with you in a positive, beautiful way. Felser also provides AMAZING feedback. Felser creates a great curriculum to achieve success.

This professor was so rude to me. Every graded discussion I did, he failed me on those because I “didn't provide much evidence to my work”. He once replied to my discussions that how did I even learn to write. He is such a rude person and doesn't have manners. The only way I'm passed his class was the quizzes, which I got all A+'s. Rude AF.

At first, I had a little difficulty understanding the course, but as we went along, the course turned out to be very good. The professor is outstanding and helpful and goes into detail with his mini pre-recorded lectures, which helped a lot. I recommend this professor!

The professor displayed little sympathy or understanding toward students. Grades were very harsh and students were often not given enough time to fix errors or revise work. I would not recommend this class to anyone seeking support from their professor.
