A nice and talkative teacher. While you don't need to show up everyday, its generally best to do so since you might miss out good notes on the lectures. Tests are pretty straightforward, the study guides cover all that needs to be covered and you do ocassional paper essays and group work but not too much. Overall, a really cool kickback class.

She is an average professor in my eyes, but you can tell she truly loves her subject. She does tend to contradict herself and a lot of the material seemed pointless and a waste of time. You have to buy into it to do well imo. I'm an A student and struggled for a B. Take that for what it's worth.

Prof. Davlantes is great! I enjoyed going to class every time. Her lectures are so interesting and she is able to relate the material to real-life situations. She gives out study guides and they help so much when they're done thoroughly. 10/10 recommend anyone to take her. You definitely have to read the book along with the lecture notes.

Dr. Weisman is a warm and easy going lady, but if you do not follow her instructions, can grade pretty hard. While her books are mandatory reads, the Senses is the most important. Feelings and Ethics are hardly used (only for some specific test questions), and one of the latter two can be found as an online PDF. Study guides are provided.

She's a relatively good-natured professor. Has funny and interesting lectures, mainly because her lectures consist of her telling stories/ranting. She's open minded but her mild dislike towards Christianity was off-putting. Memorize definitions of stuff word-for-word and try to remember examples cause she is very particular about vocab on tests.

Professor Lisa was extremely hilarious and brings her lectures to life by sharing her personal experiences. I just wanted to put it out there that the reason why people fail her class is because they think it is common sense and don't study. You actually have to put some time into the class if you want the grade you desire. TAKE HER!!
