A man's man- Takes no garbage from anyone- Great teacher, but he can be intimidating at first. Great lectures and if you make it through mid-term, you will pass. He is not a teacher for whiners or cry-babies. If you want to learn he is great, if you want to sleep better pick someone else.

Interesting and colorful professor. Lectures are interesting and it’s imperative that you take good notes to do well in his class. Likes to inject philosophy into lectures. Class participation is required, and he’ll call on you if you don’t speak up. Libertarian leaning.

I took him for American Govt. He is tough. He is "SUPER LIBERAL." I think he even said that he protested the war in Vietnam after fighing in it. Be Careful!

Love this guy!! Doesn't take crap, however, will not be angry with you for disagreeing as long as you MAKE A GOOD POINT!! Will take him again. Always willing to explain abstract theories/ideas if they are not clear. Really knows his stuff1

Dr. Stewart definitely isn't a person who takes BS. He lectures in a clear path of logic that is easy to follow and comprehend. He expects you to think critically, which is a lost art in teachers nowadays. Oh, and just for the record, he is NOT Liberal...since somebody said that in another rating

Just like every other post, he's a great teacher. He is equal, and fair.. and expects a lot from his students. He actually requires his students to ponder various subjects and elaborate on them. TAKE GOOD NOTES, write down everything he says! Great Teacher!

Great teacher! he scares you a little at first, but if you take good notes and pay attition, and study, you will do good in his class. he is stright forward and expects alot, but a funny and great teacher!! i would take him!

I agree with the other posts, he is intimidating at first, and he is a fair teacher. He doesn't take any BS & his final & midterm about killed me. He knows his stuff & doesn't mind if you disagree with him so long as you have a valid point. I am going to take him again for philosophy.

Great Teacher! He expects students to use critical thinking and challenges you to examine how your personal beliefs fit into the role of government and laws. He can be a bit intimidating to some, but he's actually a very approachable person if you show that you're interested in the subject. He's very fair but tough on midterm & final. Study alot

very cool teacher. he tells it like it is. i would definatly take him again. i made an A in his class..he made me interested in politics.

He's very intimidating at first, but don't let that fool you. Ha, resembles Col. Sanders! Write down everything (no book used in class), study your notes and you'll do fine. Thought Probes are an easy 'A' as long as you write your opinion, that's all he really wants. Great teacher, and if your lucky you'll hear about his wild past...

The tests are hard, but if you study then you will do fine. He is a good teacher, but he doesn't like lazy students. I was able to make an A in the class.

I recorded ever lecture and took notes. Do the study guides and go to class. Very passionate teacher, i enjoyed every day of lecture. Also speak up and watch the news.

AWESOME teacher!!! no book required except for the little booklet we used at the end. ALL NOTES ARE VERBAL!! I recorded every class and filled in notes at night. Attendance isn't required, but extra points given at the end if you don't miss ANY class! Took calss in July session! Highly recommend!!! HAVE TO WORK FOR GOOD GRADE! I got an A.

Great teacher. Very smart and helpful. I learnes a lot in his class. Gives 2 tests and take home midterms and final. I would take his class!!!

Very interesting and thought provoking class. Loves to talk. Very headstrong and opinionated. Sometimes you have to just ignore his opinions. Not easy. Good combination with Sharma, fun class. High expectations from both teachers

Dr. Stewart is an exceptional professor! PHIL 2010 requires hard work, but it is the subject matter that is difficult, not Dr. Stewart. While he's extremely set in his opinions, he fosters great discussion and never attempts to change minds about issues -- he seeks only to open up new avenues of thinking. My favorite professor.

He's so AWESOME! His views are so fascinating! BRING A RECORDER because he lectures a lot. His tests are so easy. He gives 6 quizzes and 1 to replace the lowest quiz grade. TWO Thought Probes, which are easy if you follow directions. I got a 100+. His midterm and final are easy as well.

Definitely recommend the class. You learn a lot. It's a lot of reading if you want to keep up, and it's mostly discussion it. He usually plays devil's advocate to get you to see all sides of an issue, so you don't know what his viewpoints unless you ask outside of class, which is good. Quizzes & essays aren't hard if you take notes & come to class.

Great teacher and nice guy! Really knows his stuff. Enjoys when the class participates. Expects you to earn your grade and requires a lot of reading. If you are not willing to do the work, don't take the class.

Great teacher! If you study and take good notes and listen you will do fine!

Doesn't use a book, so if you take good notes you will be fine. No test besides midterm and final, gave us the essay question before hand to prepare....5 quizzes only uses 3 for your grade! Gives plenty extra credit! 2 papers and thats all! He was awesome!

I thought this was a pretty easy class. You don't have a book, so you need to go to class and take good notes. And he gives you a lot of opportunities for extra points on your final grade. You only have to write 2 papers and there are only 2 tests. I would definitely recommend this class. I enjoyed it.

I thought Dr Stewart was awesome. He has a lot of interesting stories about his life. As long as you take good notes and STUDY you will do fine!

I wasn't interested in politics before taking this class. But now it's pretty interesting to me. All you have to do is study your notes. He gives some extra credit and his tests are not tricky. Just do the work and he will like you.

I took his honors class, and it was a lot of reading, but you can just skim the readings, and you will be prepared for class discussion. He is very arrogant, and rude to students sometimes, but he is a very unique person, and is willing to help. Only assignments were essays (midterm, term paper, final) attendance not neccesary!

Don't take this class unless you're interested in it. If you dig what he's teaching, the work is easy. If you don't care about it, it will be terrible forcing yourself to do it. He's a good professor, but you'll hate what he asks of you if you don't like the subject. I loved this class.

Professor Stewart was one of the hardest teachers I have ever had. He expects you to do the readings, and if you don't, you will get kicked out of his class for the day. As long as you do the readings, participate in discussions, and take really good notes, you will be fine. He is a really cool guy once you get passed his tough ways of teaching.

I read that Professor Stewart was a piece of cake teacher. For those who think he will be, don't take his class. It requires attention, detailed notes, and studying. As long as you do those (and his readings) it's a cakewalk. :)

Great Teacher! His lectures are very interesting. He is funny. The class is not hard as long as you pay attention to his lectures, and he also gives study guides for his exams.

I was scared of him at first, then thought he was a hard professor till I finished the class I learned so much from him and he made a difference to me! Take him!

Dr. Stewart demands good attendance and participation in class. Make sure that you read the assignments! He grades fairly, and is pretty nice and cool.

Stewart is a great teacher. Don't think his class is easy though. You will have to show up every day and take good notes. He is hard, if you don't put the work in he will be stearn with you. As long as you pay attention, come to class, and do homework you will do fine.

My all time favorite teacher ever. I wasn't interested in the subject at all until I had his class. It wasn't easy, but as long as you paid attention you would do fine.

Passionate about his subject and cares about his students. Class is mostly discussion of readings and he appreciates participation . Goes off topic often but it keeps class interesting.

A ton of papers. Cares a lot about the format, and less about the actual content. Lectures aren't the most entertaining, but did actually learn a few interesting things

Overall easy A. Many people dropped the class b/c we just weren't doing anything. He does take attendance, but you can miss a few days. Seems like a hard ass but really isn't. Very easy grader, I didn't even edit my paper and I got a high B. Does give a lot of papers, but very easy and worth it for a good grade! 10/10 would take again

All around amazing professor. This class is very reading heavy and you will have to write a lot of papers but the information is easy to understand and interesting. As long as you turn something in you will get an easy A.

Dr. Stewart is very passionate about enviromental studies. I do think I learned from this class. The only assignments are outside of class reading and unnecessarily long papers. If you can read a syllabus, you will make an A. The sources he uses are outdated. When he asks you to be prepared to share something, be prepared. He makes everyone share.

The class is very easy. All you have to do is show up and listen in order to pass the quizzes. There are only two tests and one paper. Following directions on the paper ensures a good grade and he gives study guides out for everything covered on the tests. All powerpoints he uses are on shared class files.
