HARD class. Bring a computer to take notes. Exams are almost impossible. Not much extra credit. Lots of material so make sure you study. Ask him to give the review guide early otherwise you'll end up getting it two days before the test. Your hand will cramp by the end of this class. Nice guy but very tough grader.
This class is the most stressful class i've ever taken in my life. Tests are INCREDIBLY hard and he is not clear on what he wants for the final paper. I would advise to not take any philosophy at NCC and perhaps go to HCC instead. The professors there are much less demanding.
Very good teacher. Th professor explains the material so that anyone can understand. Gives lots of notes, but you learn a lot. Study notes & you'll do fine.
One of the BEST professors I've had at NCC. I never wanted to take Philosophy because I didn't think I would understand it but he made it easy. You have to take notes, but the tests are NOT BAD if you study! Final paper was a breeze. Great guy, willing to help and knows his stuff. Highly recommended and I will take more classes with him if I can.
Excellent teacher, very helpful, best teacher I've had

He is an amazing teacher, really keeps your attention. Great class, take it you'll love it!
I took this class on Fridays, first 5 classes were fun & interesting, the last 5 were boring. His tests are hard because you have to know definitions. He seems ok then just became hard to deal with towards the end. Would not accept my HW or extra credit because it wasn't typed... said he told us but never did. He doesn't explain things thoroughly.
Mixie is kind of tough. He forgets a lot, has too many things going on. He doesn't respond to e-mails, if he does, maybe 2 weeks later. His tests are a bit hard - ex: Philosophy - love of wisdom (correct answer); Philosophy - Love for wisdom (incorrect answer). No partial credit either. He forgets we are at NCC, not Yale or Philosophy majors!
I think Mixie is a great teacher. Those who write bad stuff about him must have not done too good in his class. Pay attention and you will do just fine. He a peach!
Mixie's the Man! Take him, easy tests,got an A. He reviews before each test and practically gives you the answers. Really funny too, if you catch it.
Dr Mixie is the best teacher I have ever had. if you don't got an A you must be a moron. He review for all exams and he even gave us some of the questions ahead of time, like the definition of philosophy which is love of wisdom. Mixie is engaging and really promotes class discussion with his "moral dilemmas". Take him, you'll love it.
Mixie is the best. I took him and got an A. easy exams, great classes, minimal homework. He gives you an automatic A for all your presentations if you do a decent job. He real easy going. I have a great class and going to take him again next semester.
Listen to me, Mixie is a really awesome teacher. Funny, engaging, humorous. Anyone who criticizes him probably didn't do well in his class. He is real easy if you just pay attention and listen and do the reading. he practically gives you the answers to his exams. If you wan to take philosophy, do yourself a favor, take Mixie
Just finished Introduction to Philosophy with Dr. Mixie and it was great! He makes the subject so interesting, we watched The Matrix, it was cool. he really knows how to keep your attention and I took this class one day week on Friday. Great class, Mixie is wonderful!
Dr. Mixie is awesome. he really knows how to keep your attention and when the class is one day a week for 3 hours that's pretty hard. Great class, Mixie knows how to relate philosophy to the real world. We watched some modern movies which really helped me understand the ideas. Tests are not hard at all, just pay attention.
Prof Mixie is the best. he really knows how to relate to you and the class is not hard at all. I would highly recommend it. I really enjoyed the class and plan on taking all of his other classes.
Mixie is the best, I highly recommend him. East exams, great classes. He's cool

Just took the final for PHL 101 and it was just like he told us in the review. Dr. Mixie is a straight shooter. I had some trouble with some medical issues this semester and Dr. Mixie was so understanding. Why can't all teachers be like him? Great class! take it, you will love it.
Professor Mixie really cares about making you think. We talked about all kinds of issues and how they relate to philosophy. He tries to motivate you to think about things you might not want to think about like your own prejudice, why authority structures are the way they are and should they continue to be that way. He's a real gem.
Professor Mixie is by far the best professor I have ever had. I have taken all of his course and he is excellent. Clear grading criteria, fair grading and stimulating classes. He really tries to get you to think. If you don't want to think about your life then don't take him. If you do want to think about your life, then take him, you'll love it.

Just finishing Introduction to Philosophy and Dr. Mixie is great. Funny lectures, gets you to thinking about issues. Exams real easy, he reviews before each one. Easy going guy. Real nice. Take him you will enjoy it!
Great social class. Material sticks pretty easy, makes for good learning. Class was enjoyable and stress-free.
did not like at all. He does not care, he canceled class too many times did not learn anything all he did was talk so boring
Mixie is great! He just about gives you all the answers to the exams in his review. You have to be an idiot to fail. Learned a lot. Take him
Really fun class, lots of discussion. Dr. Mixie really lets people express themselves. Exam are really easy, he gives you the questions in his reviews. Open guy. Highly recommended.
great personality. Plenty of dry humor. This class will make you think. Best exam reviews ever. Maybe 4 HW assignments. Very simple. 2 projects due but they are very simple. Just follow his outline. If he wants your presentation to be 5 mins make it 4.5 mins dont go over. He means what he says. Great professor. He makes the material interesting.
Great Class. easy too. Mixie is great
Best class I ever took. Wonderful teacher and easy exams. I plan on taking all his courses
Just the BEST! Great teacher, great class discussion, time goes by fast. Tests easy, great reviews. Easy guy
Love him! 4 tests, paper and PP presentation! His exams are not easy, but he will prepare you for it. Listen him, make notes, and make sure to understand the material! ask questions - he is very helpful! Highly recommended!
Dr. Mixie is great! Just finished Medical Ethics and we learned a lot. He makes it very interesting with lectures, class discussion and videos. Awesome exam reviews. Best professor I have ever had.
My only problem is that his quizzes and exams and not clear. Philosophy in general is not clear but he would tell you the definition of something in a lecture then you'd have to figure out which answer is the closest to what he means and you'll probably get it wrong. Course work is done at you own time everything is due at the end of the semester.
Very disorganized, kicked me out of classroom for 3 weeks for no reason. Very easy grader but graded on very few assignments. Easy to pass and very nice, just again VERY disorganized.
