Great teacher...very driven. Keep up with the class lectures to be able to study well for those tests!

He is an **** because he has to be due to being a philosophy professor. Yet while being an **** he is a great teacher, you learn easily if you listen to his lectures and read your assignments. I had no problem with learning the material with him.

has a charmingly dry sense of humor accompanied with superpowers which include making anyone understand philosophy. his tests combine multiple choice and short essays, but are easy and include everything from his discussions and notes. he’s absent a lot

he's lectures are intresting and straight forward. make sure to take notes because the test are made up of the notes you take.

he's a great professor. His sense of humor is great and his lectures are very clear. Take Notes..Notes..and more Notes. Study them and you're sure to get a good grade. I enjoy watching other student's reactions when he cusses.

He is good at making you interested and his lectures are clear. I enjoy this class.

he's a cool teacher but hard when it comes to grading. His test are hard because of his crazy essay. rarely any written homework. Lots and Lots of reading. very interesting...

Fairly easy teacher.Reading is not very necessay if you pay attention in lecture and take notes. People say he has a dry sense of humor, but he actually comes off as very sophisticated and cultured because of it. If you're one to easily grasp abstract concepts, easy class. If not, do your reading and memorize philosophers.

very very hard teacher. I recommend u buddy up with someone and read together. Tests are hard, but is fair on essays. His sense of humor is great, but he sounds awkward when he "tries" to make u laugh.

very hard. He's funny and will answer any questions you have to the best of his ability. His stories are funny and you can probably relate to a few of them.Not much hw, just review notes every so often, dont cram, it wont work with this class.

Hard teacher. He's funny sometimes. There were 3 quizzes, two group projects and a final. I got all C on the quizzes and projects, not sure what i got on the final, but in the end, i got a B. I guess it wasn't that bad overall.

The class wasn't easy but Professor Sigman made it as fun as it could get. Even though I spaced on a couple of the tests his grading system allowedme to get a decent grade for the class. He's funny.

Mr. S is the best! Didn't have much interest in Philosophy but I needed the units and this was the only class that fit my schedule. Gives subjective and objective exams. Don't bs through the essays, you need to read the texts to be able to answer them. He is funny and very aproachable. Seems intimidating but he's a good guy and a great professor.

hes difficult. i took the honors course. its probably one of the hardest honors courses, just because reading his assigned books are boring and you have to write an essay for easy book. the second book he makes you read is very dry.

he's pretty interesting if u like his sense of humor... but his tests are on exactly what he lectures so just take really good notes. its not a hard class, you dont really need to read the book. and he's late everytime

Prior to taking this course I had no interest in philosophy whatsoever. After taking this course I decided to take 2 more classes, Critical Thinking and Ethics. After those courses I changed my major to Philosophy. His teaching and adviced changed my mind about Philosophy completely. Great teacher with a great sense of humor.

Took it online with him and it was really fun. He posted pictures from around the planet that made me really look forward to logging on. He also teased us, made quizes and told funny stories. He gave lots of encouraging. I still cant beleve I like an online class so much.

Cool teacher. Very nice and helpful. Had to study very hard for his test but got my A. Great philosophy teacher.

I taking on line Phi06 this summer,If you are a self-inspiring person.4Hrs a week is enough to get A, he provide much extra-credits. over 86% grade you can get A. so it is hard to get B unless ....

I really enjoyed his class. I got to know him and he is great. He really cares about how you do in his class. If you tell jokes and act a like goffy then you will so get a better grade. His tests are easy just read the book. I think that if you ask questions and are not afraid to work it then you will bomb...

Very interesting class. He's travels a lot & shares his experiences with the class and it's very exciting. I suddenly wanted to login much more than before after that. He's very, very interesting guy.

Cool class, cool professor. I recommend him.

Mr. Sigman is an excellent proffesor. His class is one of the best classes i had at ELAC. Best teacher in the philosophy department.

Enjoyed the class adn Sigmand is entertaning

I am currently taking Mr. Sigman for Honors Philosophy and I must say I love his class. His lectures are thought-provoking and he makes a difficult subject matter comprehensible. The reading is interesting yet instructive. His exams are a mix of M.C. questions & essay questions and he assigns 2 term papers. I highly recommend Mr. SIGMAN!!

Really liked his class!

Took the online class. The textbook has really short chapters and as long as you really read and do all the homework you will get an A in the class. There is not too much material so really understand the material that is assigned since this is a critical thinking class and you will do well. If you like getting most of your grades through homewo

This class was ok. The quizzes are easy if you read and pay attention but the midterms and final are hard because you have to write essays. Sometimes he does have very interesting lectures which ive enjoyed.

Ok this class was pretty hard, alot of people dropped this class. The quizes are easy but the midterm and final are very hard. He seems like a teacher that won't hesitate to fail you if you are struggling.

I go to UCLA and thought I'd pick up an easy A grade on a required logic class by taking it online at a community college. That was NOT right at all. His class kicked my butt! Learned alot though. Don't wait until the end to do your work or you'll be sorry.

Summer session 5 week course.Very informative. This was a tough course, over half dropped course after a few weeks. Course required a large amount of time to complete assignments. Not an easy "A" by any measure. I learned a great deal in this class.

Over all he was a good teacher. You will learn a lot from him. But once you are on his bad side, it's game over. I did really good on my final and I still ended up with a C in his class. He picks on people and I hand to be one of them. If you don't like to be picked on don't take him. He's not an easy teacher, but he teaches the class very will.

This class was not hard at all. Sigman reviews all the materials and if you take good notes then the quizzes are all really easy.

Some of these comments are just sad. The commenters sound like lazy butts who don't get that college is supposed to be a 'challenge.' Even when you could tell the person didn't do the reading or was asking a stupid question Sigman still tried to help them. He is really patient! If you want a super easy A, go back to high school.

Great class! Prof was great about warning us of deadlines and assingments, but what I appreciated the most were the clear interpretations that he gave of the toughest ideas in the class.

pretty easy teacher. does not give homework. there is just a midterm final and two group projects. make sure you read and you will pass the class with at least a B

Prof. Sigman's class was great. He knows what he is talking about and is good at teaching it. His class is not easy, but it isn't hard either. It's all about reading the book, taking good notes, and STUDYING! This is how I got an A.I would take him again in a heartbeat if I had to take another philo course.He swears every now and then.He is genius.

I loved his class, no HW, super easy tests as long as you read the book. midterm and final was easy as long as you READ everything he assigns to you. only one paper due at end of semester.

He was absent quite a lot so therefore the lectures were kind of squished together for Chapter 6-7... But when he WAS there he was very helpful, clear, explained things in an easy way. He cusses a lot which is kind of funny. He's smart too so watch what you say to him or he'll have a witty remark

Great teacher!! Made the class so interesting

He is very nice, and the class is easy.Tests are based on the homework. If you do the homework , you won't feel the test is hard. A lot of extra credits on the final.

DONT MISS CLASS!!! manily because the material that is on the the quizes, midterm and final are what he covered in class only. missing one class session can result in low grade but over all the class was great. he likes to pick on people to answer questions and is very serious about his tree diagram.

I took Sigman for two honors classes. He requires you to read 3 novels and keep up with the class readings. There are 3 term papers based on the novels, and the tests are 1 part multiple choice and free response. I never read our textbook because he discussed everything in class. I recommend to read the novels but if you can't, read half of each.

Sigman's lectures are very interesting because he's so smart! He's extremely clear. He breaks down the material very well; if you listen, you'll get it. Take notes while he lectures! Too many students in my class did not take not which lead them to fail test after test. Sad, really. His test are based on his lectures and stories in the text book.

Sigman is a great professor he is fair on grading if you want to pass make sure to read the book. His tests are pretty easy they are based on his lectures so take good notes . I would take him again doesn't give homework at all . Only one term paper a midterm and final

Grades based on tests only! No HW! He doesn't need to explain in detail for you to understand. I have taken his class only online, but everything is pretty straightforward. If you have a question, just ask! As long as you are specific, instead of, "I don't get this" kind of post, then you'll get participation credit AND you'll get the help you need

5 week Summer course. Textbook and Access Card mandatory. Grade based on average of: 3 Aristotelean logic exams and 3 Modern logic exams. 3 mandatory discussion posts (easy). 1 exam/chapter. Lowest exam score was dropped. An A is possible, but not guaranteed. Reading is an absolute necessity and Youtube is your friend. Professor is fair.

Great Professor love his class! Currently taking him for spring semester. I thought I wasnt going to enjoy this class but I really do and he really takes the time to teach his students and help them understand. Total of 3 tests including final with lots of extra credit at the end pf each test. Read the book carefully and do the homework!

I loved this professor and enjoyed this class so much. He is very good at communication, teaching and always responds to all your e-mails in a very timely manner. The content is complex, but he helps you through it. Very glad I took logic with him. Highly recommend!!

Sigman is a terrific prof! I took him online for phil 6 & 8 and he was super helpful in both classes. He forces you to use a discussion page but that turned out to help a lot too. Follow directions and you'll save yourself extra work.

I don't think I would of even passed this class without professor Sigman's help. Instead I got an A!! His explanations made really hard ideas seem easy. He answered many private messages that I sent him and encouraged me to write out my thoughts on the discussion board. That helped so much! Not afraid of online classes now.

Great philosophy professor on campus! He does know his material very well, and explained it in a way that I can understand. This encouraged me to learn more philosophy and question life more. I would have gotten better grades on quizzes if I can grasp the material well enough, but it's okay for me. Would take again.

the work load was heavy but what else do you expect for a 5 week course it's not the same as taking a class in a period of 4mo, the syllabus is long but everything you need to pass the class is in there, participation you need at min 3 discussion in detail what you understood from the material read, do ALL assignments, no late work tolerated.

Prof. Sigman truly wants to see his students succeed. Just do as you would do for any other class, read the material, don't skip class, take notes, etc. I came out of this class feeling 1000 times smarter and for that I am grateful. Just get ready to read!!

Sigman is an excellent professor for serious students. If you don't do the assigned reading then you're gonna have trouble on the tests. His lectures and slides are super helpful if you've done your homework, but you cannot just rely on them alsone to pass the class.

Sooooooooo glad I took this online class with professor Sigman because he provided a clear trail through lots of different ideas and topics. I really liked his encouragement and all of the announcements that kept me on top of my homework. Follow the game plan & you'll be fine. Much better than the other prof I took the class with.

Very hard test , too much assignments

Great Professor! What made the course challenging was the fast pace. I took a short summer session online. Manage your time wisely!!! (especially if you take a short semester) Quizes and exams are based of reading and HW. HW is very important for learning, practicing, and getting a feel for the material. Be responsible and you will pass!

I don't understand the bad reviews. You get what you sign up for. Prof. Sigman assigns a lot of reading and it takes critical thinking to understand the concepts. He explains everything wonderfully and provides lots of feedback on essays. He may seem intimidating but really he is just passionate about Philosophy and is actually very understanding.

Prof Sigman helped me pass a class that I already had failed twice. His homework comments made a huge difference and the ideas started making more sense to me. Even as an online class, the teaching was better than my other attempts. It's kind of a miracle that I passed logic!

Prof Sigman is a good lecture. He helped me pass this class without any problem.

I would like to express my appreciation for being a wise and amazing teacher who always dedicate his time to create positive learning experiences to help bring out the best in his students.

I loved this professor and enjoyed this class so much. He is very good at communication. Prof Sigman had help me pass a class that i already had twice. His homework comments made a huge difference and the ideas started making more sense to me.

My professor really gaves a good point of view which helps my curiosity answered and I satisfy on many of his opinion.

Prof Sigman was the best professor! All hmwk assignments get full credit & then invests extraordinary amount of time explaining any mistakes. He allows 3 attempts for each quizze, so its as easy to get an A as it is to get an F - logic is a challenging concept - it requires the same level of dedication as Prof Sigman. There are no shortcuts!

Sigman's class was great. He made everything really doable, and his essay comment feedback was beyond amazing. He's a real professor.

I wasn't very sure about signing up for Feminist Philosophy, but I had taken a class with Sigman before and it was great. I'm so happy that I trusted him because the feminism and gender class was even more interesting than my previous class with him. It's time to switch my major.

Winter '22 Great, caring prof. He really wants you to succeed and understand the philosophical concepts. Lots of feedback for written assignments (3). A bit nitpicky with writings, but I wouldn't say tough grader at all. Workload was less than average. Gets 4 difficulty bc of the subject matter, not the professor. Responds quick & is understanding.

Sigman's class was clear from the 1st day, but you gotta read the syllabus. His lectures were very helpful, pointed out issues even the book did not cover. Always left me thinking for hours after, and I watched some of them 2 or 3 times. His comments on my essays were longer & more helpful than any I've ever gotten. He's passionate about learning.

When I got very busy at work, the professor helped me catch up with a personalized schedule. That kindness absolutely kept me from failing the class. The lectures and really great essay feedback made an impossible on your own class become understandable. He is great for our college.

Favorite class by far and favorite professor. He cuts through the junk and keeps the discussions animated. Not afraid to tell you his opinions when they are backed up by the facts presented to us. I would take this class ten times again!

-Good Professor if you're truly interested in the subject -grades fairly even when our opinions were different (which was often i think) -Clear and consistent grading criteria -Always gave fair and quick feedback to questions and concerns -Must stay on top of class weekly or you'll fall behind but everything is manageable and on a calendar

This was one of my favorite courses to take. The professor does give a lot of work and essay assignments, but it is manageable so long as you follow the class schedule. If you take this class, do not fall behind on the reading material or you will be lost during quizes or essays.

If you want a quality class, take Professor Sigman. He cares for the material being taught as well as his students' understanding. He'll give you honest feedback on your work. It's really up to you to make good use of it. I had a family emergency and couldn't turn in some assignments. He reached out and gave me a chance at saving my grade.

Online winter course. A LOT of material/homework that needs to be done practically every day. Be prepared for a substantial amount of reading; otherwise, the content may not make sense. Difficult to take while working, but you can manage. Do NOT take this course if you will not be on top of your work, as it will pile up quickly. Great professor!
