A very clear professor. He writes all of his lecture notes on the board so you always know exactly what to study for the exams. Likes to wear tapered jeans with airwalks during his office hours (great sense of stytle). He rather looks like an owl. Very helpful as long as you ask for his input.

Take the class its fun, easy, and it looks good on your transcipt.

Loved this class!!!! A real eye opener!! He could use some brushing up on other religions tho

i loved this class. he's the head of the philosophy department at UL. he's very grounded and the people that he makes look stupid often spit opinions or beliefs that don't make much sense. he's a nice guy and will work with you.

great!

Keith is a very good teacher with the following exceptions: 1-His religious views (Atheism) seem to direct the focus of his teaching.2- Class seems constructed to eliminate other religious viewpoints as viable alternatives. 3- Has a hangup with disproving moral relativism.

Anyone who thinks bad of Dr. Korcz's classes need to get their heads examined and see reality for what it is.

his class was very easy to do well in if you tried at all. he's funny and interesting. he's patient with people that don't get it and has a great way of shooting down smart-ass overly stubborn "philosophers." i would take every class he taught if i could.

ehh, the class was alright given the subject, but he isn't open-minded as he should be for someone of his stature (head of dept.) unless you agreed with him he would turn a deaf ear to you, and it showed.

Dr Korcz's class (like most PHIL classes) are a lot different from other humanities classes. It does require good amount of studying/reading from notes and textbook.Material is a bit challenging, but makes you wiser in life. Regardless of ideas/beliefs, he is very helpful and kind and has no prob if you go to his office or email him for help.

He does tend to impose his own religious beliefs (or lack thereof) upon you, yet after a class with Berkely, this guy was an angel. does'nt really require much reading, rather the knowledge that you had showed interest in reading(vomit examples on the test). very intelligent, many extra point opps and is extremely helpful. I really suggest his clas

He's an alright teacher. He is very narrow minded and likes to impose his views as the correct way to go. His class is good and the stuff he teachs is good but the way he presents each view is alittle biased.

Dr. Korcz is one amazing professor! He is one of the most enlightening professors I have had in a very long time! He is completely there for his students and is very organized and prepared! He also presents many extra point opportunities to boost your grade! Dr. Korcz (IMO) is keeping the integrity and the light of the PHIL program at ULL alive!

Dr. Korcz excels in his talent for clarity and organization. He is very friendly and consistently demonstrates concern for the understanding of his students. I highly recommend this course. Note: this class is not intended for first time philosophy students.

Good teacher. He is clear and gives lots of examples including diagrams, cartoons, and charts as memory aids. He writes all the notes on the board in outline format. There's tons of extra credit, and I made well over 100 in the class. Do the study guide and read over the notes once before the test, and you'll do great!

Interesting and enthralling. I thought I'd do terribly in this class, but all you have to do is comprehend the material. Ask questions and study a lot! First test is the toughest. 3 tests, no papers. Gives extra credit! He knows his material and I gained insight on business ethics. Take him, but expect to study. He's totally cool and funny.

you MUST take him if given the chance...I had 25 bonus points by the end of the semester and finished with over 100 in the class..and it was really interesting. PHIL is usually hard but with him as a prof, its actually enjoyable.

The class is really boring but easy. If you go to class and take notes you will pass. There is no textbook just readings/articles you can get online. He gives you a study guide for each test and if you know everything on it you will ace the test. He gives alot of bonus points and every test has 3-4 bonus questions worth 11-15 points each. EASY A!!!

This class was RIDICULOUSLY EASY! All you have to do is show up, take all the notes that he puts up on the board then when he gives the study guide for an exam, just be able to answer all of the questions on it (comes from your notes) and you are golden. I made a 100 on both exams.

Made the class more interesting than I had expected it to be. Good teacher and is very clear in his arguments. However, do not try to argue with him, there's simply no winning. Unless you want to, it will be entertaining for fellow students.

He's organized to a fault. Memorize the arguments in detail and get a buddy to memorize with, it helps. He's a dirty, dirty idealist, so account for that slant when he's talking about stuff.

Dr. Korcz is the bee's knee's yo. Just show up, take notes, and participate, and you'll get an awesome grade. And be sure to use the study guides he gives!

COME TO CLASS! He gives lots of notes everyday, but his notes are everything you need for the tests! He even gives you a study guide for each test so that you know what to focus on. If you can't attend class everyday, then don't take this class. Examples and discussions are given in class for the tests. Super awesome teacher!

Overall, he is a great professor;I would recommend him to anyone(taken him a few times). He is smart, very nice, extremely organized,and wants to educate students. Class is sort of mandatory since the notes are only given in class and make up the test. The one knock on him is that he can let his beliefs show, which he should never do in class.

awesome professor!!! test are really easy if you spend just a lil time studying. Study guide very helpful. only hard part if the paper but other than that very interesting. Explains everything very clearly and will take all the time needed to address any disagreement you may have. Very intelligent man, they obviously made him dept head for a reason

very difficult professor, but you learn a lot. tests require A LOT of memorization and attentiveness in class. overall, the class killed me, but i would recommend it.

You must Take Dr Korcz- he is so laid back and his test are very straight forward! A real! He gives you a study guide with the EXACT material on the test, nothing tricky- loves to debate in class and he is always neutral. MUST GO TO CLASS TO PASS because all test are straight from your outline notes. But the class is interesting so its not hard.

BEST PHIL TEACHER TO TAKE. Two test and one final. One extra-point assignment. No homework. Lectures the whole time. Attendance is mandatory. If you miss one class, you are very behind. Gives study guide before every test and study guide is word-for-word what is on the test. He is a nerd, very intelligent and respects students opinions.

I learned a lot in his class. There were 3 tests (including the final) and a 10-15 page paper. He encouraged debate which made the class more bearable. He also takes improvement into account (for example if you get a C on the first test and then get As after that, he gives you an A in the class.) The lectures are basically the test! Great class!

Dr. Korcz is great. He is incredibly laid back and thoroughly enjoys what he teaches. Also, he is vastly knowledgeable on many topics. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to get something out their Phil class.

Great class! Makes you think.

He's not too bad. Sometimes he can be boring, along with the material, but he usually has interesting examples when explaining a concept. No textbook is needed, he posts his own textbook online. Tests aren't too difficult either, but if you don't go to class/take notes/pay attention then good luck.

Encourages you to look into things yourself, his lectures scratch the surface of many problems. However, his lectures do give you great starting points and cover the main issues within what you will be discussing. Attendance is essentially mandatory if you want to keep your grade. Can be a tough grader sometimes on the written short answers.

Absolutely amazing. I got an A with simple studying, but he honestly made it so interesting that I would call home just to talk about all the information that had been presented to me. Slightly liberal, everyone saying he's a hardcore liberal is just butthurt. He's practically unpartisan and presents the facts well.

Easy, easy A. For all three of the tests, I studied the night before and got an A on each. He only has one extra credit assignment which is mandatory, but other than that, there's not much work because the tests are each 1/3 of your grade. He gives a lot of interesting examples.

Great guy, great professor. If you take PHIL 316 be prepared for the intellectually-disabled population of UL to take over the class with their inane and circular questions. Watching Dr. Korcz expertly mold ill-formed questions into something coherent enough to answer is painful in extended doses. Idk how he does it.

There is no textbook, so if you miss class or do not take notes, you're screwed. BUT, if you use his study guide and study hard before each test, you should do fine. Only two tests and a cumulative final.

Nice guy and easy A! Study guides before exams.

There were only 3 tests and then some take home quizzes, so definitely graded on very few things. If you study the multiple choice parts arent too bad, but you have to make sure you answer what he wants you to for the short answer (and its very specific). Best bet is to email him and double check youre doing everything right.

From what I can tell, most people fail Dr. Korcz's exams (and therefore classes) because they either do not show up to class or do not take notes. If you do either of those things, however, his exams are very understandable (he hands out a study guide that comes directly from lectures and readings). He's very helpful in office hours. A great prof.

Loved this class. Some topics were very abstract but he does a good job of explaining them well enough for a test. Provides study guides, if you (genuinely) know whats on the study guide youll do fine. Paper was difficult but he goes easy on grading them in my opinion. Good luck if you miss the lectures lol

He gives out a study guide and the test questions are basically copied from the study guide. Bonus questions on every test mean you can get almost 20% of the questions wrong and still get an A. The extra-credit assignment helps out a little bit too. He talks a little fast sometimes, but everything you need is written on the chalk board. Easy A.

Really knowledgeable and interesting professor! This was a very interesting class. Helps you see the world more clearly and accurately. You may be turned off by his mechanistic take on the world, but he argues well for it. As long as you go to class and take good notes you should do well.

I like him alot. Very clear on what the guidelines for grading are on his site. He's pretty funny. Attend class or you likely wont pass. Lecture heavy, but easy to follow. Tests are easy. Know the answers to the questions on his study guide, and you will get an A.

You can study the guide the night before the exam and get an A. The only thing I disliked was the attendance policy. Putting the effort in to study for an A but missing 5+ days of class to start your final grade at a B is ridiculous as most professors understand students have bad days and will skip class.

Go to lectures, and pay attention. I got over 100 on all his exams, and missed a few classes, but still got an A. (Don't read more than necessary! Once he gave out study guides, I used the find tool on the online textbook to find what info he required for the exam. Towards the end of the class, I hadn't read a single one of the readings lol.)

Make sure you go to class! All of the notes are given in class and they correlate exactly to the test! Sweet and funny professor! Also gives study guide and bonus points with an assignment and on the tests!

Go to class and do the study guide and you'll be fine. Test questions are straight from the study guide. There's a mandatory "extra credit" assignment that you have to do or you'll fail, but getting more than 10 points is nearly impossible. You have to pay attention in class because his handwriting isn't always legible. Overall it's a decent class

This class was challenging, but very rewarding. Dr. Korcz is an entertaining professor. He gives a study guide for every test and will will give feedback on your answers if you ask him. Even though the tests are tough, there are opportunities for bonus points. This was my favorite class, but be prepared to put in the work!
