Easy class......easy prof......now website just lectures and tests and a final....curves up grades for fairness.

Yeah, everyone who whines about this guy being unclear are obviously stupid first years. The students have no respect for him because he's so docile. I met him on the bus, and he said hello and we started talking. He's a good prof, you just need to listen. Barbara Mackinon text is pretty****ty tho

I really don't get why people don't like this guy. He's nice and very fair, and it's not like the material is interesting anyway. You'll get an A+ if you just show up and listen.

I found that Ken was very into the things he was talking about and an excellent teacher. He was good at getting class discussions going, and is very good at debating both sides of an argument. I really enjoyed having him as a teacher.

He's a good prof, I liked having him. either go to lectures, or just read the course pack - if u do either, u'll do well. He is an amazing philosopher, and he has the ability to argue every point in a debate -which makes class stimulating...some might say he's boring, but it'll be more fun if u participate in the debates

Great prof, seems interested in students opinion of issues he is teaching about, both the midterm and final were pretty easy as long as you go to the lectures and review his points.

I think people are too hard on this prof. He knows what he's talking about and he has interesting points during debates. The course material is SUPER dry, but he does his best to make it interesting. Midterms and final expectations are clear and outlined in slides. Avoid 3 hour lectures if you can though; a bit much for this particular course.

He is a very funny and creative professor. He uses examples to explain all of the presented theories and everyone should be overjoyed that this class is particularly easy! How many easy classes do you get per semester?

Amazing prof. Everyone who doesn't like him is probably just not happy about their marks. Very clear in everything he expects. Midterm/paper/final are fair. Wish I had him for more classes.

ken is a super nice guy and a very fair prof. he always try to understand and reexplain student comments to the class, and he gives very good points supporting his topics. fairly easy course if you attend classes or read the material! recommended

Interesting class. Love his teaching skills and how excited he is teaching. You'll get a good mark if you put in the work, not a lot of work but just enough. Gives you questions for midterm and exam and then one essay as well. The cutest when he teaches.

very nice man. He gives you a bank of questions before the exams and he chooses some of them that are going to be on the exam so you just need to study them and to be prepared. classes can get boring but he does a lot of class discussions . taking notes during his classes did help with the studying so you should go to class. Not too much work

Material is a little dull. He is a super fair proff though! Gives all the question he might possibility ask on the midterm and final exam ahead of time! Then there is one term paper, but you have a lot of options as what to write on. Easy A!

Probably the best business ethics prof there is. Gives study guide before midterms and final with 20 questions, picks 8 of them to be on the exam. So you basically have the exam. Final exam was not cumulative either. Super interesting prof too.

Nice guy and tries hard. Entire mark is 2 midterms and a final but every single question is given to you word for work a week before. Easy to do well and I found the material (not so much the lectures) interesting! have to buy the book but only do the readings after you are assigned the exam questions so you only end up reading the important ones!

Great, fair prof. Tells you exactly what questions will be asked on exams. I don't think you can ask for much more than that. Attending class isn't mandatory as it is mainly a class discussion, however I think it's important to get other perspectives when formulating your own answers for exams. Didn't do a single reading. Powerpoints very handy.

Really enjoyed this class, although to be fair I did not attend every lecture, the ones I did attend were very interesting. If you do the readings, and read his slides (they're comprehensive) you can get an easy A+ without attending.

Gives midterm and final question well before an exam. Prepare a short outline and using the slides and you can EASILY get a 90. Put in a little bit of effort and it pays off. Readings that come up on midterms/exams are covered/discussed in class so you don't need to buy the course pack. He's super nice and detailed slides are posted online.

this guy is a total oven and a really good prof!

I took bioethics with him and the class was super interesting, he also gives exam questions about a week before so prepare them and you will be good ! If you go to class and pay attention you will be perfectly fine

I was confused why he doesn't have a higher rating, but from some of my friends' experiences I can see why. Midterm and exam questions are given two weeks in advance as mentioned and he's clearly knowledgeable. From what I heard though, he's very curt with you during office hours especially for midterm regrading and will rarely bump your mark.

I had him for bioethics, he was an awesome and super intelligent prof. His lectures were really well organized and definitely knows the content really well. I will definitely take another philosophy course with him if I can.

Honestly, super easy class. I went to the first lecture and then didn't go to any others. Just summarize the slides when preparing for the midterm and exam and youll be fine

Really liked his class, he makes the course content very clear and easy to access. Uses amazing examples that make you think about more than just the question at hand.

Provides ppt and exercises before lectures. Ppt are very detailed so you can probably not attend class and still get a good mark. Lectures may go at a fast pace. Does go over some exercise questions. Provides you with a list of question types that will be on the midterms and exams (that was open book and had 24 hours to complete). Answers emails.

I am not particularly interested in philosophy, but the professor explained things clearly in real-world terms. Only two midterms and a final, and the exams were very similar to what we discussed in class. In fact, a few of the questions were taken directly from the notes. A fair grader - I would reccommend.

Prof. Ferguson has amazing slides, you definitely do not need to attend class. He's really kind and understanding, just reach out! He's classes are usually very packed with students and so online lectures are not intimate.

His class is boring but it is super easy to get a good grade. TBH, you can even just read the ppt and dont show up the class, and you will be also fine.

Interesting topics covered for anyone going into healthcare. There is no grading criteria however for exam questions given to students, so youre winging it with your answers. Grading is based on TA, as opinions can be subjective in philosophy. Be prepared to defend your opinions in exam answers if needed.

Very nice prof. Our tests during the pandemic were open-book, and he was open to re-grade tests.

I really enjoy Kens lectures, very knowledgeable and not condescending like some professors there. That said the material could be subjective and often point of view is black and white. Other than that I learned quite a bit and used some social fallacies in my workplace.

Taking philosophy with Prof Ferguson was honestly the best choice. His slideshows were very detailed so, attendance was not necessary. Overall the course was pretty easy. Just beware that his midterms are very long and time-consuming (but we had 24hrs to finish it so it's fine).

Cares about his students. Gives you lots of time to complete exams. Would recommend.

Very nice prof, lectures were useful. All tests were conducted online so easy class overall.

Ken is super nice and is really passionate about what he teaches. he's open to hearing different opinions and doesn't force anyone to participate. lectures can be pretty interesting if you actually go and pay attention and it's easy to do well as long as you keep up with the little content there is. lectures also often end early.

matches business ethics

I love Professor Ferguson, his classes are VERY flexible so expect a lot of changes in the syllabus concerning exam dates, lecture dates, etc. For some people, that can be annoying, but I feel like he is very accommodating and his exams are very easy.

I originally didn't think I would enjoy this class, but honestly it wasn't stressful at all and the prof makes it very doable for students, he's a very kind professor! Just be patient because he has a lot on the go and sometimes forgets things, but no bother, he makes everything accessible and easy.
