Auditory learners---this class is for you. He gives you great examples to help you remember the different areas of ethics. Beware if you're absent, you will be missing out on EASY "attendance quizzes".
he is really nice and easy. he goes over the material over and over again to make sure that everyone knows it. plus he lets you use your notes and gives you plenty of examples. his class in an easy A
good teacher
Easy but Very boring! I don't even know how he received his Ph.D doesn't even teach the course correctly. If you want to learn don't take him...you won't get your moneys worth!
He wants to make sure students understand the material covered and keeps it interesting. It was the only class that I wanted to be longer.
Basham interacts with the students while lecturing and even some sarcastic humor a long side. Coming to class attentive is a must.
His lectures are interesting. Quizes are a piece of cake. He goes over whatever we do not understand.
His lectures are interesting. Quizes are a piece of cake. He goes over whatever we do not understand.
his lectures are very confusing but if you he explains it better. in this class we only had two exams the midterm & final so ur chances are expected to be very high. i believe he gives or grades randomly, people who did better on the exams than me got a lower grade than i did and others who did worst got better grades, just not cool!
Great instructor and down to earth. Great teaching Skills
awesome professor. explains everything and doesn't get mad for trying to undestand . interacts great with his students
Overall his a pretty good teacher. Yes his lectures might get boring and his monotone voice might make you sleepy but just take a snack or some gum and participate some. There is no quizzes and his two test are Easy. Sometimes u may even use notes. Ur appearance to class counts as quiz grades so just show up for ur chance for an A.
One of the best professors that I ever had!
crazy cool! A one man wrecking crew!
Great professor. Very intresting lectures. He likes to talk alot, but everything is very intresting. He is very different from all of my other professors. He makes class fun. Take him if you can!
Logic is hard? Not with Dr. Basham. He aspires not only to pass students but to make sure students understand the material. The best teacher I have had in my college experience. Show up to class because he will often give attendance quizzes. Ask questions he will answer the smallest, don't be hesitant. He is very clear and concise. I had him for an
I took Intro to Ethics.attendance is mandatory if not quizzes will come up.good teacher.boring at times. you will only have two exams throughout the semester and you can use notes and addition to that he reviews the questions and answers.piece of cake.
HIS PRETTY COOL AND DOWN TO EARTH. HAS A LOT TO SAY AND DOESN'T WEAR A WATCH..SO U KIND OF HAVE TO LET HIM KNOW WHEN CLASS IS OVER. MONOTONE VOICE THAT MAY CAUSE YOU TO SLEEP AT TIMES BUT SOME TOPICS ARE INTERSTING. ONLY MIDTERM AND IF YOU LUCKY TAKE HOME FINAL. SO ATTENDANCE IS A BIG PART OF YOUR GRADE. EASY "A". DON'T EVEN NEED A BOOK.
Great teacher, easy A make sure you show up for class everytime and take notes for everything he writes on board and stories he uses as examples. These will be your answers for your 2 test you have. Kinda reminds me of Jerry Garcia. Fun class.
most extreme experience ever. what I went to college for
Fun, easy and interesting professor. I attended most of the classes and left the semester with a B. If you need a Humanities credit, I recommend taking this professor!
Fun, easy and interesting professor. I attended most of the classes and left the semester with a B. If you need a Humanities credit, I recommend taking this professor!
EASY A, WELL THAT'S IF YOU ATTEND!.JUST SHOW UP STAY FOR THE CLASS LECTURES ARE REALLY INTERESTING NOT A DULL MOMENT. TOOK HIS CLASS FOR WORLD RELIGIONS. EVERYTHING HE REVIEWS IS ON THE EXAMS ONLY 2 MIDTERM AND FINAL WHICH IS A TAKE HOME SO NO REASON TO FAIL. HE PRATICALLY GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS, JUST EXPLAIN WHAT WHY THAT'S THE ANSWER TOTALLY RECOM
Wonderful professor. Going to class will be one the most interesting things you do all week. Easy A and you learn more than you would with any other teacher!
Makes it so real. Really makes you wonder. You walk out and you still can't stop thinking about it. Funny, too.
amazing teacher! there is no other teacher like him. just go to class, listen to all of the interesting things he has to say, and take his easy tests. i promise you just attend class and u pass. plus u have a great time too
Dr. Basham is an outstanding professor! I did not need this class but I decided to take it anyways. Great teaching method! I am definately registering for one of his classes next semester!!!
Enjoyed the fact that you did not have to follow a book all the time. He lectured the most important facts that students needed. He is a real easy going professor and enjoyed his class. There is really no way you could fall asleep in his class; he made it vry interesting.
Taught us the basics of logic, and made it very interesting doing so. He is helpfull even on the mid-term. Just listen closely, which isn't very hard to do in his class, & you'll receive an A.
easy A.. not boring.. fun..
One of the best classes I took at STC. Mr. Basham is open-minded, respectful of people's opinions about God,and he is very calm. Mr. Basham's teaching methods, which are based on discussions, made Phil.of Religion understandable and interesting. No endless tests. Take it if you can. Highly recommended. A+ Thanks Mr. Basham!
mr basham is an awesome teacher. very understanding. easy A!! not to mention the class itself was very intresting. his experiences and storys are very entertaining!!
Excellent teacher, class easy to understand and fun. Easy to talk to him and have discussions. I strongly recommend him
He's so crazy, funny & really makes you think. He always had us laughing. :) Class was never dull! For once, I did not need to be organized! lol He's an awesome guy!! Really gets to know his students! I always learned something new! Not your typical class; he was a breath of fresh air.
Dr. Basham is the Best. He makes Class Fun, Chill and Interesting.Your gonna Laugh in his class as Much as You Learn..which is Alot.He is very fair with his Midterm & Final Essays and helps you with a study guide. Just show up to Class and listen to what he has to Teach...Your gonna Love his Class and Learn a Lot.He is a for Sure B if Not an A :)
hes a really cool dude! fun class it really makes you think. i recommend him if you like to learn intersting new stuff.
AWESOME professor! Best professor I've had throughout college. Very easy and funny. Chilled layed back guy. Doesnt require to buy a book. Easy A!! I really recommend him! Easiest class and final I've ever taken.
Be careful :/ He was a great instructor, but when I finally got my grade, it wasn't what I expected. I have a feeling he might have lost some of my paperwork, and therefore, it affected my final grade. Good instructor, but easy doesn't always equal best.
best ever, great experience. didn't want this class to end. Dr. B is an amazing prof, chill, funny as hell and you always leave thinking wow. that was cool.
Amazing teacher!! Hes hilarious and his class is simple but interesting
Really laid back professor. He tries to make the class interesting. You don't need the book. We didn't have any assignments, one midterm and final.
Class was very easy, make sure to take notes in class, because your test questions will come from the lectures.
super interesting, learned a lot, laid back prof he makes your head spin with all these ideas
Dr. Basham is the smartest man on campus. The lectures were amazing. I loved this class! The way everything fit together and nothing I thought I knew seemed the same anymore. Tests cover a lot but he totally reviewed everything so you know what to do. Awesome class!
One of the best classes I have ever taken. I recommend this class wholeheartedly. I could never repay him for what I have learned.
The best class. I wasn't even interested in the subject before, but he totally brings it to life. I would walk into class with something on my mind, but by the end I would be completely distracted by discussion in class. It made me think about a lot of things I've never thought about before. And he's very easy going. Favorite class this semester.
Excellent class. One midterm and final is take home. Take him you won't regret it.
Course is extremely easy. DO NOT MISS A SINGLE DAY. You only get two grades. A Midterm, and a Final, so attendance is mandatory in order to obtain all the notes for the exams. He's extremely interesting, but drags on a lot sometimes. Also, his notes are ALL OVER THE PLACE. So just be careful. Easy course if you pay attention, and write your notes!
Professor likes to engage with the students. The students pick the topics of discussion from a list that is to be presented early in the class. He enjoys a good laugh. His class is entertaining. If you do not like using your brain, don't take this class.
He was such a crazy fun professor. Even though I barley showed up to class, I found the topics every interesting. He only gave us a mid term and a take home final. Never went to class but when i did i made my presence know , and because of that i received an A.
Omg! Mr. Basham is the coolest philosophy teacher ever... His lectures are hilarious and entertaining. No txt books- Only mid-term and final exam. You can miss class a day or two, Mr. Basham does the same!... Recommend!!!!! 100%
Mr basham is a teacher that i look forward to on a school day. for my class we only had a midterm and a final, NICE. he gives out test reviews, AWESOME. Last but not least he has awesome lectures, PERFECT. why aren't more professors like this? my only concern is that he makes other professors look bad. my education sucks without people like basham
Professor Basham is the best professor at STC!! I am so thankful i got the chance to be one of his students. He is incredibly smart and loves teaching his subject, i don't understand why more professors are like Basham. He is the real definition of a teacher. TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WONT REGRET IT!!! Just 1 midterm and 1 final, super easy.
If you have the opportunity please take Dr. Basham, his class is awesome! Incredibly interesting and he is like the chillest professor you will ever have, he's very funny and his lectures are A1, seriously! 1 midterm, and 1 final, super easy! All professors should learn from his enthusiasm! STC is so lucky to have him! You won't regret his class!
Has a different method of lecturing. He's great. You dont need the book. No assignment, just mid term & Final
Dr. Lee Basham is a great professor. No books are assigned for his Intro to Philosophy class. You only take a midterm and a final for his class. Easy A if you attend class and take notes. Exams are based off of his lectures.
Dr. Basham was a good teacher, you NEED to be in class. There is only 1 midterm and 1 final and he counts attendance as a grade too. Overall, he aight
Dr. Basham is the best professor i've ever had! I recommend taking his class, it's an easy A and you will learn so much! it's only 1 midterm and 1 final, but you get to take home the final so he's basically giving you an A, he's really lenient, he gave all of us an A from my class!
Basham's lectures were the best. He's really entertaining. Only two exams that were fairly easy. Highly recommend taking him. No book is needed.
Professor Basham's class is probably the easiest class to take. Basically just sit through class and listen, NO homework, NO additional work, NOTHING. Only 2! (1 page essays) all semester in his class. 1 for the midterm and 1 for the final, all you write is about what he spoke. We voted and discussed religion and 9/11. EASIEST A!
Dr. Basham in all his glory is a LEGEND. This man on an individual level is so laid back and down to earth. Once In the classroom the man blossoms into philosophical speaking gem that appears very inviting in what it has to offer. But enough of the romance there. Easy A, one mid term / one final. EASIEST (A) within my college experience. TAKE HIM.
Probably the best professor I've ever taken. Super easy grading and really interesting lectures. JUST SHOW UP AND YOU'LL PASS! You won't regret taking this class, attendance isn't mandatory but he gets a bit down when half of his class is missing so don't be one of those people. Don't be shy he loves hearing people's opinions in class discussions!
easiest class I've taken so far! gives good lectures !
Very interesting subject and professor, I recommend this professor for students with an open mind, great class overall.
Dr. Basham is one of the most interesting professors ive met. He knows his stuff, and he makes you really think about the issues he presents. We only had a midterm and final for grades, but as long as you going to class and understand his lectures you'll be fine. Such an awesome class and if i could change me major it would be for philosophy
This is not your average teacher. The everyday class schedule is he shows up talks all class period asked for a little feedback and class is over the test are easy he gives you the review also dont expect much of learning from him :)
Best professor ever ! And very funny! Highly recommend Easy A just show up to class!
Dr. Basham is an amazing instructor! His lectures are very interesting and gives you much to think about. No homework or assignments; just a midterm and a final; provides a study guide for the midterm and final and will review with the class. Be sure to takes notes; they will be on the midterm and final. Get ready to have your mind blown!
Dr. Lee Basham is amazing when it comes to the human mind. His lectures do make you question everything around you. Take his class and you'll be in for a wild ride.
Dr. Lee was amazing. Took him for logic and made his lectures into a combination of logic, and comedy which was great. He was hilarious and knew his stuff I would definitely take him again if I could.
Worst professor ever! You just get an A for doing nothing. This professor is shame for philosophy and South Texas College
It took him a week to answer my emails. Everybody gets an A.
This was basically a non-class with very little to do. He pretty much guaranteed us all A's because I don't think he was prepared. Some of my messages didn't get answered. I guess he's better in person but avoid him online at all costs.
Good lectures
This class was so easy and fun. I took it online and his lectures are on podcasts which are very interesting. I learned a lot in his class. Anyone who gives him less that a 5.0 is a try hard.
This semester was my first class with Dr. Basham. While I would have preferred a face-face class, I feel he did a fantastic job when it came to providing our course content in an online format. His lectures were very clear and quite entertaining. If you keep an open mind and you are ready to think in new ways, then you will really enjoy his class!
Awesome teacher! Easy course! Recommend if you wanna learn without stressing about so much homework!
Super easy A. Hardly any work required. Some of lectures were interesting but I think I could have the same just by watching Tedx talks on youtube. Not recommended if you actually expect a college course.
Easiest class ever. Just sit, watch videos, write what he said, and you get an A. You can get an A just working 5 minutes per week. You are not going to learn but who cares, it is philosophy.
Took online. We only had a midterm and final. Which,if youre lucky you get an A on both. Seems like he gave random grades to everyone. Based on who knows what. You basically hear a podcast and write down what he says for both exams. People would share answers on podcasts so didnt make sense some would get As and some would get Cs. Worst class.
I luckily had a face-to-face class for him and it was so amazing! I really enjoyed coming to his class he lectured in a way that kept me interested the whole time. We had barely any work only a midterm and final which if you payed attention is an easy A. I would definitely recommend him for face-to-face but not so much as an online course.
The ween.
Teacher super helpful if you have any help and he reviews exam to help you study
Classes with Dr. Lee have been so worthwhile! Dr. Lee has an amazing way of breaking things down so that they are understandable, and always keeping it light and fun.
Get ready to write his notes and it is always best to be present in class if not you will be lost. They are interesting lectures if you pay attention that you forget that the class is about 3 hours long. He makes jokes and is eccentric. You can have pop up attendance quizzes that can help your grade & is very easy going when it comes to emergencies
He is a very communicative professor in his lectures. During these lectures, I will take notes where they were very informative about what we were going to study for the midterm and final.
Dr. Lee is an amazing Professor. He is great professor and breaks things down so that things are understandable.
One of the best professors I have ever had!!
I really did not learn anything in this course. First classes are fun, but then it is always the same. You basically have to do nothing to get an A. The guy is nice outside the class.
Very easy class, have to attend class to know what's going on, he explains his lectures very well helps you understand, he's easy going, funny, Very easy A!
Only interesting when he speaks against vaccines and mask mandates. Most of the time he speaks and nobody pays attention. Just be there and you get an A. Asks questions, and he thinks you are paying attention. Sometimes he is funny.
This guy is one of the reasons I dropped college. Always late, always the same classes, same jokes. You can learn more watching youtube videos. Well, his classes are just his version of youtube videos. And you have to pay for this!
By far the worst course I ve taken at STC. I never understood what was happening in class. He does not follow his syllabus and always speals non sense
Clean an interesting class.
He is very patient when helping you understand the material. Funny and tries to get everyone engaged. Would take again was a fun course.
On of the best people I know. His lectures are wonderful and fun. There is so much to learn from this professor, never a dull moment. Inspired me to open my mind to further ideas and levels of understanding.
This was the best class I've ever taken.
Amazing Proffesor, works with you when you have problems. Very flexible. Easy class to pass just go to class. no homework or assignments just pay attention and take notes. He gives out a review exactly like the actual test and then the only grades he gets are mid term and final. which aren't that hard.
Amazing Professor who goes out of his way to make sure his students are interested in what they are learning 10/10 semester.Would gladly take again without hesitation.
super interesting. I learned a lot. Definitely recommend Dr. Basham.
My absolute favorite professor at STC. His class is very interesting. It makes you think about the world in many different ways. 10/10 recommended.
Dr Lee Basham is the BEST professor I've ever taken! Truly cares for his students, and wants to see them pass. Only Mid Term, Final Exam, but gives you a study guide for the test. The "Ween" is the BEST! I love her, she was the highlight of my class!!! Just take notes he provides in class. Take this class you will love it! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!
One of the best professors I have had the pleasure of taking. He is an outstanding lecturer and makes you think about what he is teaching. Dives into his teaching style with so much energy and makes the class so much fun. Makes class personal and is not afraid to get anyone involved and break out of their shell. Highly recommend Dr. Lee Basham.
Best and easiest professor. Grade is not a problem in this course, all that matters is the Ween.
Talked too much and would always hold class longer than it was. Not clear on anything!
He only assigned a midterm and a take home final. He reviewed each and was an easy grader. He tells a lot of stories so people might find it boring. Overall he was a nice caring professor, easiest A, i would totally take him again!!
great lecturer with a humorous approach. he made class fun and interesting. overall recommend this professor.
:) :) :) :)
Amazing teacher. So nice and always happy to answer questions. Would definitely take more classes with him.
He makes the classes very interesting with jokes and funny stories that are related to Ethics. Easy class, I would take it again.
Great professor
Overall an amazing professor with an immersive learning environment experience.
Amazing professor
Professor Basham's ethics class was super easy and enjoyable. He made complex topics simple and relatable with clear lectures and real-world examples. The coursework was straightforward and well-organized. Highly recommend!
The professor stays on task and is able to explain things in detail so that one can understand the professor. 
The professors is cool and fun to be with in the class.
He is a very outgoing person.
Dr. Basham asks questions that get you thinking during his lectures. He keeps class engaging and I enjoy the discussions we have. He's a gem. Take him!
Fun professor, I would retake this class 100%
Really nice guy! Is very interactive in class! Ask lots of questions he is actually happy to answer them. Super patient!
His lectures are amazing! Professor Lee is very attentive and will make lectures very fun! I would definitely take him again and recommend his class.
Very cool and funny guy! Would take the clsss again
He is a very good start for philosophy, anytime I come to this class I come in excited and with snacks because he is also very entertaining.
i was okay, he is kind of funny most of the time , i mean all the time.
Great professor that really cares about his students. Lectures are clear and easy to follow along with. As long as you write or type the notes, you should be good for the semester.
He is a cool professor and funny. He doesn't give work at all except for the midterm and final. He brings his cool rocks to class lol. I would recommend taking his class 100% it's an easy A.
Mr. Basham is very kind and invested in student's learning
Very fun and interactive Professor. He has stories for days and always brings the most "randomest" items in class, but it all has a meaning towards the day's lecture. I recommend taking him, he's very laxed and you definitely learn a thing or two. He knows how to make you see the other religions in a different perspective.
This professor gives extremely informative lectures that leave you with a different perspective or point of view, in regards to philosophy. The class in particular that i attended was Intro to world Religions, and I have learned a variety of things to each religion that was taught
Only grades are the midterm and final, reviews are given beforehand and you are allowed to use the review during the tests. He's a pretty chill and funny dude, not easy to reach via email but he's always hanging around campus so he's easy to find and very understanding.
Professor Basham makes this class super engaging. His lectures are full of interesting stories, and he's always happy to clarify concepts. I found Unstuck AI really helpful for review and prep. Definitely an easy A worth taking!
Very cool. A ton of fun. Weird science.
The funniest professor i have ever took. He wore blue sunglasses the whole semester because he lost a bet lol. Overall a person who is silly and sticks to someones mind. 10/10 recommend taking any of his classes.
His class was super easy and a lot of fun!
