I really liked my her. She is very straight-forward. All the lectures are online, so you can print them out and she gives you study guides for the test. She will go over anything more than once just to make sure you understand. She is a very easy teacher. I am taking her in class and I loved how helpful she is.

Class is all lecture with four tests and participation points. Can get boring once in a while since it's all lecture, but overall really interesting and fun. Made me decide to change my major to philosophy. The professor is really nice and is always open to hear different opinions and viewpoints on philosophy. Loved the class. Definitely take again

Amazing professor. She is very knowledgeable in philosophy. Makes philosophy very easy to understand, but lectures can get boring at times. She is very nice and you occasionally watch videos in class. Class consists of 4 exams, no homework, final or midterm. Grades you on attendance and gives extra credit. Gives you study guide for exams. Easy A

took this class for a summer and she was amazing! Lecture goes on until the end of class and she's very informative, but it can get boring towards the end. Overall, she was a great professor and I would take her class again.

She's very good at explaining the material, and tests are based on the lectures/lecture notes. You could definitely get away with not buying the textbook since the material from it is explained in the lectures. You'll need an iClicker. Really easy class if you just pay attention.

I took the 6 week summer course and it was a breeze. You have 2 modules per week, that I was able to finish in a couple hours per week. There is a discussion for 4 modules, a quiz each module, and some short response questions every module. She provides a pdf of the book for free. I printed out her lecture notes from each week. Final exam is easy.

Professor Stevens was one of the best professors i have ever had. She is so passionate about her subject. When you enter her class you have to be ready to think, because she will have you contemplating life and existence. You have tests at the end of each section of the class and they are short answer. Get an iclicker and good attendance helps you!

Dr. Stevens is AMAZING and so organized! I took her 6 week summer class &amp; I did not know what to expect. I was able to ask her questions any time &amp; she was so helpful. It seems like a lot of work in the beginning but quizzes are short &amp; assignments are not hard. Lecture Notes &amp; Videos were most helpful to me. Take her class! You won't regret it! :)

This class was a 6 week summer class and it was laid out perfectly. Two modules are required each week with one discussion post, two short quizzes, and short response questions. There is a cumulative final but it's the same questions as the quizzes. The videos and lecture notes she provides are more helpful than other readings. It's a very easy A.

I recommend taking this class if the other classes you're taking during the semester have a heavy workload. Dr. Stevens does allow late assignments up to 2 weeks after the due date, expect for the discussion board posts, they must be done by the due date. Her lecture notes are key to passing the quizzes and final so make sure you review them.

Super easy class so long as you are attending lectures. Dr. Stevens goes over literally all of the course materials during the lectures, and knowing that material is all you need to do well on the tests. Your grade is made up of your highest three test scores out of four (30% per test), plus 10% for participation during the lectures via iClicker.
