Amazing teacher!! Swears like a sailor, he is young so he knows how to connect with us young adults. His class made me want to take more philosophy classes! Reading is minimal, had one midterm paper and one final paper each around 8 pages. Didn't see one power point. Unorthodox style of teaching which works great! He's very funny! Take him!
