He?s a new professor at BCCC and one of the best. This man loves what he does and teaches you not only about philosophy, but about life in general. I found him inspiring and could not believe how half the class dropped by the end of semester considering how easy he is with three one page pass/redo papers. There?s a midterm that he gives the ques

Prof Shah is amazing. He is very vivid in the way he teaches and addresses the class and loves the subjects he talks about. he has such passion and enthusiasm and although he may be mistaken for one of the students, hes very easy and funny. he gives 3 1 page essays and a pass/redo grade. 1 exam and a final paper. easy to get an A just be involved.

Dr. Stretch is awesome!!!! This man knows what he's talking about. If you want a good grade, keep an open mind. He's reasonable w/ everything and gives you pass/fail instead of grades. If you don't pass, he lets you retry to pass, so it's a win win. YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM!!!

Basic probs of philosophy is the class. It was not as easy as potrayed below. Only 5 people passed his second paper. Most had redo's. Does not teach like most. This was not an easy A. Not that I want an easy A. But I feel as though I would have learned much more elsewhere with a different teacher. Will be happy if I even achieve a C.

His class seems hard, but as long as you do the readings and through some way or another demonstrate that you understand what's going on you will do fine. The pass fail papers are not as extreme as the other rater said. I failed 2 of the three 1 page papers and still got a B+ in the class. Just be prepared to read. He is really enthusiastic.

This class seemed hard throughout the course, but it really wasnt. He wants everyone to pass with an A. Just do all your work and come to class and you are literally guaranteed an A. Reqs: 3 one page papers PASS or FAIL only (can retry if you fail), 1 final paper (graded normally), 1 exam (picks 10 from a list of 15 that he gives you beforehand)

Shah is amazing! He was the first class of the day for me and he got my brain going. He is very thought provoking and leads great discussions. He doesn't ask that you do much for homework, read a little bit here and there, but you can pretty much participate w/o reading fully the material. There are 3 1-page papers to do and only 1 test.

Prof. Shah is great. I had him for world religions, and the guy really knows his stuff. There's only 2 things you need to know to do good in his class. You have to want to actually learn somethng, and don't try to BS him, because the guy knows his stuff, as I said. He could just talk on topic forever especially if you're trying to get it.

I had Prof. Shah for two classes in the spring. He was a great teacher and really made world religion an interesting course without inputting his own opinions. I would certainly take one of his classes again...

Prof. Shah taught this philosophy class very well. He is a fair teacher and made the information easy to understand...

Basic Problems of philosophy was an ok class. It was more of learning what Socrates, Plato, and Descartes believed with a few other philosophers. 3 one pg papers and 1 three pg paper. topics were what we learned. Shah would have you read out of class then the next class you would discuss the topic.

I am just finishing up his class now. This class was very boring to me tough to stay interested. But Shah is very prepared for class and is an easy grader. Most papers are opined based so makes it easy. Also exam questions are given before hand so you can study. Shah is the nicest guy.

Truly an amazing teacher. Take this class if you're interested in learning philosophy, not if you're just taking the class as a requirement. Shah is very passionate about what he teaches and makes sure every student is comfortable and understanding. One of the very best teacher's I've ever had at bucks. I heavily recommend taking his class(es).

He's an amazing teacher. He really knows a lot and, when he does go off topic, it's stuff you find interesting or is related to the class in some way. He's funny and very approchable. His grading scale was kind of weird but it made sense. And honestly, you have to put in work to fail this class. Either that or you're just unintelligent.

Really great teacher. had him last semester. Very interesting and not boring. Fun class to take.

Good teacher Knows his stuff. Gets off subject, but interesting. Must attend class. Wants everyone to pass. 3-4 papers (chance to redo and graded pass/fail, 1 midterm but gives you the essay questions ahead of time. I did learn about a subject I had no interest in because of him. I probably would take him again.

Goes off topic a lot and comes to class with a *general* idea of what he wants to teach... but I would still recommend him most days as he's very dedicated to what he teaches (and it shows). Lets you know when and what he is grading you on and if you try you will do well. Opinionated but that's not so bad because it gives you some perspective.

Learned the History of the Philosophy of Science from him. He is dynamic and probing. He has a Socratic rapport but is also good at explaining things when asked.

I took Shah's philosophy class in the spring and he teaches like really wants his students to learn the material and apply it to their lives as well. He is always willing to answer questions and he has a helpful way of making his students figure out a solution on their own. The work for his class is not difficult. Overall Shah is a great teacher!

If you don't want to be enlightened, then don't take the class. If you're ignorant, you'll hate it even more. The primary objective for his class is to make you think. That's it. All he asks is for participation so he can receive your perception on things, and once you do, he questions your thesis. It was an awesome experience! Great professor.

Fun class. Very knowledgeable professor. Learned a lot.

Awesome and super smart dude. Participate every day and he'll love you. There is homework after every class so beware!

SHAH IS THE MANNNN! Nothing but love for him! His classes are fun, you feel connected with everyone. He really cares about his students! Work load isn't much but its college so expect it. Very generous with paper rewrites and test (game). You will need your cell phone out on your desk for his class!!!!!

There are only 3 essays( 500 words) the 3rd essay was ec! The essays are based on facts so you can't get anything wrong(pass/fail paper) U can rewrite them. 1 in class exam( google will be your buddy) Final paper(1500 words) first page of the final paper is the first essay you write. 1 discussion post/quizzes(notes on board) Overall a good class!

In class exam is given from the beginning, 1 final paper, 2 essays. Information is given on canvas &u have book to help u out. 3rd essay was optional. I took the hybrid class so it was 1 discussion post each Friday. Couple of quizzes were given with unlimited tries. Everything is there. U just need to put in a little bit of effort & you'll get an A

Professor Shah is a great professor and is a very understanding guy. He really urges you to participate, so do so. He has a funny sense of humor and somehow ties everything he talks about (no matter how random it is) into the lectures. Just put the time and effort in and you will get a good grade.

I forget the course code, but it was an entry level philosophy class. Took it in the spring and loved the course/prof! He gives you the final exam questions on day one, was super clear about everything. Amazing discussions, will expect you to participate. I think he allowed three absences. Do the readings and go to class and you'll be fine!

Three pass/fail papers (500 words)(needs B or higher to pass), one test, and one final paper (1500 words). All with clear explanations of what you need, provided from the beginning. He even gave all of the exact questions for the test to prepare. Use the book or Google heavily. A lot of work but a really good class. Solid recommendation.

Im surprised by all the negative comments. This class is super easy. He is very clear about the grading system. There are only 3 essays max 500 words, 1 test( which he gives you all the questions to the test on the first day via canvas), and a final paper. Just show up, listen, and participate. He also has the best sense of humor. ��

This was the most enjoyable class of the entire semester. Stretch really knows what he is talking about and I think that many of the bad reviews on here are based off his teaching method. I actually learned a ton from this class because instead of reading out of a textbook and giving tests he makes you use you're brain.

Professor Shah was great. The Canvas set up was easy to follow and he made things easy to understand. Great introduction to Philosophy if you've never been into it. The only thing that didn't work is that none of the material is very connected, but he is receptive to feedback and made a note on that.

One of my favorite professors. He really wanted you to understand, and would take the time to address any questions. Feels intimidating to ask a question but he will always respond with helpful information. Material didn't really fully make sense until his lectures. Makes sure you are confident with the material before he tests.

I learned a lot from his lessons. The class was interesting, and he always tried to make it interesting. If you will truly work on assignments and prepare for the exam, you will get everything you want like grade, feedback, and help. If you need help, he will help.

After taking a course with Professor Shah, I can not stop thinking. I find myself strategizing and challenging myself as a thinker. Ive learned valuable lessons on life that I can take with me wherever I go. If youre looking for a philosophical thinker, look no further.

Stretch is the man! Loved taking intro to Ethics, class was always interesting. He did a good job of making sure his students took something from the class, outside of just getting a grade. Would not recommend Ethics with any other professor

Stretch is awesome �� hes absolutely hilarious and literally knows everything! He made this class really enjoyable and I would absolutely take another class with him. Hes a tough grader but he also isnt the type of teacher that just gives out good grades just doe doing the assignments, he makes you work for your grade.

Professor Shah is excellent at his profession! He's very informative with feedback that helps you understand his lessons. I've never been interested in Ancient History however I have learned so much and what I didn't understand he was very quick to respond to questions. Although no textbooks were used, his readings and videos were very informative!
