Learned an entire new way to think about Sport. Many ideas challegened what I had thought sports were. The teacher covered every controversy with care and attention always telling you when something was "his opinion." The book was very challenging but the teacher tried to be fair in explaining the author's point of view. A great class!

With a laptop it took me usually 1:30-2 hours to finish, so it's definitely time consuming. Easy class to pass, his tests aren't hard.

Professor Postiglione is an amazing teacher! He gives amazing feedback when it comes to your work. Gave us an article to read and I told him I didn't understand got an 7 ended up boosting my grade for being honest. He gives a lot of work and was actually pretty hard to keep up with if taking as a summer course (took 2 classes and worked full-time)

I took professor Postiglione's online philosophy course for the Summer. Summer classes are hard but online is even harder. He made sure that this class would be a breeze. Yes, there is an assignment due almost ever day but the feedback on each assignment from him is great and he grades very generously. He is very caring and makes you want to pass.

Amazing professor and person! He might seem rude at times but he really just gets frustrated at students who are lazy and immature. Professor Postiglione gets my vote for the hall of fame

I took Professor Postiglione's online philosophy class for the winter semester. He was by far the most organized professor I have taken thus far. All assignments were posted ahead of time and he always gives great feedback. There was a lot of work, but the assignments were easy & the quizzes are all open book. If you do the work, it is an easy A.

Taking this class is was like a full-time job, he gives endless assignments, and many times it felt like an army boot camp. He is definitely a knowledgeable professor, but very strict, and sometimes rude. If you are really interested in philosophy and is ready to give your ALL, go for it. Not an easy A and makes you WORK for it.

Lots of homework

Grades hard. Wants to hear his own words on assignments or he will fail you. Gives too much homework, and doesn't GRADE it! He will not care that you have other classes. Gives 5-6 tests plus pop quizzes without saying anything (but those he grades). Homework is 20-30 questions daily straight from the book. it makes you hate the subject.

Lots of homework

Was not looking forward to college before taking this class but Professor P. helped change this. is very kind and considerate. He goes out of his way to help students in and out of the classroom. I approached Professor P with an issue unrelated to the class and he spent the time to not only help but find a solution. Great class and learned alot.

I failed the first time I took Philosophy at this institution, due to heavy loads of coursework. So I decided to retake it for the winter and to take Postiglione online. I was pleasantly surprised by the organization and the light amount of work. He graded generously and gave amazing feedback. I got an A+. Postiglione is the way to go.
