Not to mention he ALWAYS has a perfect response for anything you ask/throw out, that's very impressive to me because it means he really knows his stuff.

Dr Hurlburt is great at breaking down ethical issues into plain language. You must do the assigned reading, and attend class to take advantage of this though. If you do these two things, this class is an easy A. Class participation is a must, so be prepared to talk. Sometimes he does go off topic which can be confusing.

Hurlburt gives a lot of opportunity for questions and invites outside materials to help you learn more on your own. He's very helpful with answering any and all questions, but after class, you're on your own. Replies very fast to emails which is good. He tries to make class entertaining and be relatable.

Hurlburt is a pretty good professor. He is very interactive with his students. The class is interesting by itself but he makes it even better. The assignments and discussions are pretty easy and interesting. Tests and quizzes are easy as long as you listen to the lectures and read the materials. 10/10

Literally the worst professor i have had online ! discussions are pretty easy but tests, assignments and quizzes are made to fail.. and he also has a no extension rule no matter the circumstance for ANY assignment. Philosophy is a bit challenging in itself but having him to make sure you have, at the least, learned enough to pass the tests. NO HELP

Professor Hurlburt is the best! I took him for PHI2010, and it was by far one of my most entertaining classes. He is hilarious, and he cares A LOT about his students. He wants you to pass, and he wants his class to be entertaining. He makes it easy for students as long as you put on your part too. 1 quiz/each module, discussions, and 3 assignments.

I took this class online and it was a bit difficult. There are 6 assignments (write 2-3 paragraphs) and 3 tests. The tests are proctored and are a majority of your grade. He puts tricky questions so be careful. Everything is spaced out so theres time to do the work. He gives feedback and the only thing I can really recommend is to study.

I first want to begin with do not be fooled by these 5-star ratings. He doesn't care about his students. His quizzes are so unnecessarily hard. There are 3 quizzes which count for 50% of his class, be careful and study if you are willing to pass his class. He doesn't give feedback or a course grade update until the very last day the class ends.

As a professor, Prof. Hurlburt was fine, in the few interactions I had with him (I took PHI2010 online). The vast majority of your class grade comes from 3 tests; although you do homework and discussion assignments, they are barely worth anything. The tests are HARD, and the only reason I got an A in the class is that I scraped out an A on one.
