This man knows his stuff. This course was incredibly hard...not because of him, but the content. However, he taught it well. If you want to learn something, take a course by him.

Can't believe some of these bad comments; yeah, he is strict and hard, but he is very fair and he is definitly not mean; he never said anything about pizza and Dodgers in my class; he really tries to make things understandable; he encourages students to think for themselves and ask questions.

I was extremely impressed by how well this guy was able to explain the content - philosophy is not easy to understand. I can't believe some students thought he was mean (that's probably their immaturity)! I thought he was a very helpful teacher and definitely the best one I've ever had.

very smart prof.. will help u if u need him. good teacher

Mr. Foreman is a professor who does not treat his students like babies. He understand he teached COLLEGE and treats the students like ADULTS. NO easy way out here- but a great man! He knows his stuff, has a passion for the material and the students, and truly cares about his students. One of the best profs at LU DEFINITELY!

Great teacher! He knew his stuff well and could explain it. The test do take studying, but as long as you understand the material then they aren't that hard.

He makes Philosophy as interesting as it can be and seems to really enjoy teaching the subject. The tests aren't that hard if you study and he's very fair with grading. He likes to get the students involved and is always open to others opinions. Great professor!

he's an awesome professor-if you need any help at all he'll try and help you understand the material and get a better grade...as long as you read the chapters and just go over the notes, his tests are a piece of cake

If you are looking for an easy class, take Beck. Foreman's tests are very difficult to study for (all essay in the honors section) and there are constant written homework assignments. That said, you will probably learn more about Philosophy with Foreman. He does a commendable job explaining difficult material, and he is kind and willing to help.

Mark Foreman has taught me a lot about Philosophy! He's great and I enjoyed every moment spent viewing his lectures and taking his exams.... Thank you Professor Mark Foreman! May God continue to Bless you....

best lsat prep class you can take. the tests are very similar to the things you'll need to know for the argumentation sections on the lsat. if his class comes easy to you that's a good sign that you'll do good on the lsat. attendance is important, he will not appreciate it if you miss a lot of class for debate.

He is a great teacher, tries his best to explain the subject but his tests are still difficult. He will work with people who want to learn.

Mr. Foreman was heavy on the homework load (both reading and writing). And his essay exams (two, the only two tests in the whole semester) he graded very...roughly. All in all, though, he is extremely good at helping you understand, and is a very kind man besides. If you are looking for a challenge, and truly want to learn, take him. But isn't easy

Dr. Foreman was a great professor for Philosophy, despite the fact that I failed the class. The honors course has really difficult tests, but the class lectures seem more enjoyable and interactive. If you take him for honors, be prepared to prove that you're worthy to stay in the honors program. :D

Great guy and instructor! He makes it interesting

Awesome instructor. He is very clear about the subject, makes it easy to understand and is very helpful. A true man of integrity. Even if you don't need to take the class, take BioMedical Ethics. It is worth your time and will open your eyes and really make you think. This is not your typical Philosophy class, ver little philosophy in it actually.

What a passionate teacher ! Made Philosophy fascinating to me. Great classroom discussion and he really challenges you to not only know what you believe, but why you believe it. His tests are hard, but fair, he gives you a detailed study guide-USE IT. Don't expect to cram for tests, you need to constantly be studying, he tests your knowledge.

He was one of my favorite professors. If you are taking him for honors, be prepared to do a lot of work... 20 one page papers, a presentation, two essay tests, and an 8 page paper... but it is worth it. I learned so much from being in his class. Great professor.

Prof 4man is awesome! He made class interesting and fun! The two big things are an 8 page paper and a presentation. The presentations were fun though! There's one each week, and Foreman lets you bring snacks, wear a costume, etc- he loves it when you're creative! The tests weren't that hard. The one page papers due each week were a piece of cake.

Dr. Foreman is a great professor. He always takes time to answer your questions, loves class debate, and overall is very fun to have. He only does Essay tests so if u dont like essays dont take him but he gives you the possible questions before hand. I loved his class. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Dr. Foreman is awesome. This was a great class as well. He really explained all the arguments well and encouraged class discussion. Essay tests are his thing, but I thought it was a good way to learn the material. You should take him.

Oh what a great teacher. He really made philosophy fascinating. I miss his class and wish I could take it again.

Excellent prof. He is very knowledgeable and is willing to help you with anything. There are two tests (4 question essay), a presentation, 20 reading responses (cake, just turn them in), and a 7-10 page paper. Do the responses, write a good paper, ASSESS in your presentation, know what you're talking about for the tests = A. GREAT prof, take him!

Good overall. A little entertaining. Presents some fairly difficult concepts well

Great professor. Took his class via distance learning.

Gives a FANTASTIC overview of the evidences for Christianity and will make even the most skeptical Christian much more comfortable in the rationality of the Christian view. Makes extremely difficult and complicated argument understandable, and is very knowledgeable on the topics. Also an understanding and helpful teacher.

This Professor is great! He really knows his stuff and he teaches the materials very well. He says "mmkay" a lot, but you get used to it. I definitely recommend him.

A lot of work and a tough class

Best prof I have had at LU.

One of the best professors I've had at Liberty. Incredibly smart, very engaging, and extremely interesting. If you ever have the chance, even if you hate philosophy, you should take a course with Foreman.

One of the best professors I've had at Liberty. I had him for an honors course. He's engaging and extremely knowledgeable. He makes a mandatory course fascinating. If you have the chance, take Foreman!

He is very good at what he does. He actually knows how to teach people, not just teach material. One of my favorite profs at Liberty. And "Christian Evidences" is a course that every student at Liberty should take--it is the most effective at apologetically equipping Christians for talking with a secular world.

I've read all the ratings. Yes, phil. is hard. You actually have to work and think, which most of us would rather not do. But Foreman is excellent at making philosophy clear and interesting. His examples really help. Work at it & you might find you enjoy it. I took this online & was dreading it, but found I really learned some interesting things.

Foreman is wonderful! He makes philosophy interesting and is excellent at explaining difficult concepts.

I am a Nursing major. I took Phil 201 online. It required 5 textbooks - and we read them all. Forget being able to think about what you are reading. I am normally an honors student - and work for my grades... but this fell under the status of horrific for online studies. I do not recommend Liberty online for philosophy. Take it anywhere else.

Philosophy 201 with Foreman is, to date, one of my favorite classes at Liberty so far. Foreman is engaging, easy to listen to, and excellent at explaining tough concepts. I LOVE Foreman and recommend everyone to take him. He makes you work for the A but it is sooo worth it!! Don't skip class, don't skip reading, don't complain--this guy is awesome!

Whew. I loved this class, but I won't lie and say it's easy. Be prepared to not just read, but *study* what you read. Foreman is funny and very nice, but you'll prob deal more with your group leader. Lectures followrepeat reading assignments. Clear instructions for DBs. Quizletnotecardsyour bff. NO EXTRA CREDIT, so start off strong!

Great at giving lectures and making subject areas clear. This is a hard class so you may need to schedule extra study times.

You have to be an idiot not to be able to pass his Phil 101. He does a great job with it.

Dr. Foreman is a very good professor. He knows his material. He is very personable, and the students love him.

Dr. Foreman is a pretty tough professor, but he is very clear. If you take notes through his lectures and study, passing is easy. He does assign a quiz that's due before every class and there is a lot of reading, but overall, the material is pretty basic and useful.

This was a fantastic class! Mark Foreman lectures are very informative and he uses a lot of good examples. He has the gift to make philosophy make sense. He is also really enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable. Tests are hard so study up! Quizzes are hard too even though they are open book. He makes work for your grade.

Great teacher. You must pay attention though. Read the material and study. You have to actually understand the concepts to pass not merely memorize them.

He is a very good teacher, very knowledgeable. I found his lectures interesting. Their are an overall of 5 tests which can be very hard if you don't put in the time to study. For me it seems that the quizzes are challenging, but they are open book. And I love Nathan Dowell as a GSA .

I loved Dr. Foremans class. He has such a passion for philosophy it made me love it. He provides study guides for each test, so as long as you study them and know everything on them, you'll get an A. I never went into a test not knowing what to expect. I also loved my GA, Matt, he did a great job during break out sessions. Highly recommend both.

Professor Foreman is a really great Philosophy instructor. I dreaded Philosophy class because it has such a bad rep but he really brought the subject to life through his real-life examples/applications and short videos, both of which helped explain different concepts. I could tell he was passionate and knowledgeable about the subject! He is great.

Dr. Foreman is a really great teacher. In the honors course, he mostly facilitates while he calls on students to answer questions. You can have a page of notes for reference but it is for a participation grade so make sure you read. A bit everyday and it doesn't seem like that much. His tests are hard but, if you study, not unbearable.

Great professor. Love him. The meek and thin skinned be warned: if you try to argue in class, he'll shoot you down if you aren't prepared.

Makes me laugh when people complain about reading. Like. It's a good thing to read something that isn't Instagram people. This is philosophy. If it were easy, more people would be philosophers.

Dr. Foreman is a great professor, and manages to explain difficult subjects in an understandable way. He may seem tough at first, but if you're willing to talk with him he is more than willing to help you with the course. Try not to miss class. Also, be prepared to do a lot of homework.

Great teacher, really makes you think about big issues.

Great prof.

Great professor. Sorry guys, it's college, you have to read and do quizzes. Plus it's philosophy, which isn't an easy subject. Dr. Foreman is very knowledgeable and makes the material as easy to understand as possible. I've taken him for two classes and I've done well in both. Do the work, you should be fine. Best professor in the department.

Really good at breaking down concepts that have the potential to be complicated and hard to understand. I really enjoyed his class, it was very insightful. My one qualm is that he does not reply to emails in a timely fashion.

I'm baffled by the ones saying he doesn't let others have their veiws. I found him to be one of the most open-minded professors at LU. The reason people may feel like their opinion has no weight is because he is very good at finding holes in other arguments. The man is a master philosopher and has solid reasoning behind his views. And he isn't rude
