She made the subject matter easy to understand and really interesting.

Exelent Teacher!

I really do not enjoy her class. She is repetitive, and makes the class much easier than it should be. She gives reading quizzes, takes attendance and requires that we post to discussion board every week. It's like high school all over again.

great teacher

excellent teacher.

Great professor, very helpful and insightful!

one of the best.

although she makes the class difficult, she is a really good teacher. clear and concise. even if you dont understand her, she is helpful if you go after class, and she will help you with papers without doing it for you. if you have even subpar critical thinking skills, use them, and you can do ok in her class.

The class has lots of reading and you have to pay attention to the details that she points out for reading quizzes. There are 3 papers and she grades kind of hard on them but overall the class is not horrible.

brady is a good teacher. if you are looking for an easy A then she is not the one for you. she is very helpful and available very often. basically, if you enjoy philosophy and thinking about life and actually learning... and dont mind getting a B then definitely take her.

Philosophy can be hard to understand and confusing, but Brady clearly explains readings and repeats explainations so you don't miss anything important. She is great at meeting w/you and helping you with assignments. I feel like what I got out of her class will help me with who I am as a person rather than just reading about some dumb philosophers.

Dr.Brady is a tough teacher but she is very good at what she does. It's hard to get a "A" but what you learn out of her course is more beneficial than any letter grade. She's always avaliable to meet with for any questions and is willing to do anything for you to help you out with anydifficulties understanding phil. I'd recommend her definitely

pedantic. get ready for reading quizzes like a high school literature class.

Dr. Brady is not easy, but is very good at what she does. You will learn a lot. She is very intersting to talk to and is willing to sit down and help you with clarification and ideas. One of my favorite professors I've had.

Dr. Brady is my hero. Philosophy is by no means an easy subject and Brady is not an easy professor, but she will help you in any way she can. She will repeat and clarify any point as many times as asked and always gives you a chance to schedule meetings for papers. GREAT professor!

Honestly, Brady is a difficult grader but an excellent teacher. Her curriculum is a masterpiece and her willingness to help her students understand is amazing. Two thumbs way up! I would recommend her ethics class to any and all. This is probably one of the best classes on campus.

She grades papers pretty hard, and requires a lot of reading, but she does a good job of leading class discussion, and is always willing to meet outside of class. She grades class discussion pretty hard too, if you don't say anything you get a C.

Dr. Brady is an extremely smart woman. Her class is hard, she has high expectations, and you must do the work. However, you will learn a lot about how to write a paper and learn philosophy. She is extremely helpful on papers. She will read rough drafts and then meet with you to discuss corrections that need to be made. Over all, great professor.

dr. brady is extremely hard when it comes to grading. it is almost impossible to get A's on papers/tests. there's a lot of reading to do as well, and you cant really skimp on it. she was very smart and knows what she is talking about, however, i did not enjoy that class and would not recommend her.

Dr. Brady is the most helpful professor in the world--she really wants her students to succeed and if you go to her office hours to discuss class material and papers, your grade will experience a boost. Her phil 100 class was extremely difficult, but she makes you think and thats good. If you want an easy class, look elsewhere.

Anyone who has anything negative to say is just looking for the easy "A" - I loved the course and got a lot out of it. Dr. Brady gives more of her self than any professor I have ever had. Take her course if you want to learn something!

Dr. Brady is probably the toughest professor I've had this semester, but she's extremely helpful. If you participate in class and ask her questions about assignments EARLY then she will be a huge help. She sometimes gives pop quizzes, so always read the material.

I have never met a more helpful teacher. If you take advantage of her availablity and willingness to help, you will do fine. She is very enthusiastic about philosophy and I really like her. She is a sweet lady and is encouraging to her students. definitely take her. Shes awesome!!

Dr. Brady was my toughest teacher this semester but I feel I got a great deal out of her class. She always has a sign-up to meet with her before major assignments are due so take FULL advantage of the opportunity. Not only will your grades be MUCH better, you will get a chance to examine your opinions more thoroughly.

I did not do stellar in her class, but it was completely my own fault. She is a fantastic professor. She can make complex philosophical topics accessible. Very nice, helpful, the readings can be intense and she can grade a bit tough on her quizzes and papers, but if you give her SOME original thought you should do ok. Loved her, would take again.

SHE'S AWESOME. I WISH I COULD TAKE HER FOR 200 and 300 LEVEL.

Dr. Brady is a tough grader who expects a lot from her students. That being said, she was completely worthwhile to take. I learned so much from her class. Go to her office hours for help on every paper and ask her a lot of clarification questions.

Best philosophy prof ive ever had. I hated phil before I took her class and now don't mind it so much. Brady has a dry sense of humor and, although she's a tough grader, I learned a lot in her class.

I had never had a philosophy class before this one, and at the time, I hated it. However, since then I have realized just how good of a professor Dr. Brady was. She was very helpful and very clear in class. She pushes you, but my next philosophy class was really easy because she had set us up for success! I recommend taking her.

Dr. Brady expects her students to--shock and amazement--actually work! If you do not want to delve into the material on a deep level, do not bother with this course. If you want to read the material and learn to write *solid* and *concise* papers, she is more than willing to help you. I *loved* all of her classes!!!

She never gives test, only a few quizes and she explains the material extremely well in class. She has gotten me even more involved in Philosophy and she may not be the easiest teacher to take but she is very, very helpful. So, if you get stuck or don't understand something she is right there to help. Loved the class.

SOOOOOOOO much work in this class. I spent so much time in the CLC for this INTRO class. She should be teaching upper-level only, not intro.

Dr. Brady is a very good teacher. She knows her stuff really well. However, her class is hard because she gives you quizzes at the beginning of each class over reading that most people don't understand. You have no tests, just a final and 2 papers. You learn a lot from her. She is very helpful and is willing to meet with you.

Dr. Brady is very intelligent and definitely knows what she is talking about. I learned a lot from her class, but it was really frustrating. It was a ton of work, but getting an A is not impossible. She is always willing to help. Participation in class is important.

Class was bearable, but you cant do nothing and expect to do well. If you half ass read the readings for the day you will be fine. The main thing is to take notes. The papers you write will come from your notes backed up by text. For our first Big paper, I went to her office hours just to clear things up and i got a 95. easy money.

Dr. Brady is very good at creating interesting analogies to prove a philosophical point. I thoroughly enjoyed her class. I didn't start off particularly well, but I felt I ended strong and definitely have a better understanding of what it means to be a philosopher.

Dr. Brady is an amazing professor and super caring. She helps facilitate great conversation and is very easy to talk with. Very flexible with office hours and extremely helpful. The class has a lot of homework but once you understand how to do the assignments it does not take long at all.

Dr. Brady is a fantastic professor. She's big on participation, so if you don't talk in class, you'll have to talk to her outside of class to get those points back. Take her if you're interested in Philosophy and willing to work, steer clear if you're looking for an easy A.

The most caring professor I've ever had, if you reach out whatsoever she is willing to go the extra mile for you. College is work and the faster you accept that the better off you will be.

I loved Dr. Brady. Civil disobedience (an FYS) was difficult but very rewarding and interesting. I would absolutely recommend taking this class as a first year.

I loved Dr. Brady! She really cares about students. I had family issues & she was very understanding. She wants you to succeed. Class discussions were interesting and engaging. 3 main writing assignments, 1 final paper, and a final exam. A lot of work but she is a great professor and makes it possible for you to get a good grade if you work for it!

Everyone who wants to learn and improve their understanding of philosophy should take Dr. Brady. She is the most intellectual professor Ive had, knowing her subject inside and out and genuinely enthusiastic about what she teaches. She is so accessible outside of class, giving feedback on drafts and always a zoom call away for further help.

Dr Brady is a very kind and caring person. She is very passionate about philosophy, and truly wants to help her students. She assigns a lot of homework, which does not take very long but is difficult. Participation is required. She does cancel class the day that papers are due, which is helpful.

Amazing prof. So kind and passionate about Phil. She explains thing in so much detail its easy to follow. If you are confused and have questions she'll explain until you understand. Very understanding of outside factors. Would recommend her to anyone. Must read and be engaged to pass, can't slack off or you will be lost.

Dr. Brady is the best professor I have had at Xavier. She is so kind and very understanding, she will work with you if you are active in your communication. This class required a good deal of reading but can be expected in this level course. Dr. Brady does such a good job of thoroughly explaining the text and is great at facilitating conversation.

I had her when my professor got sick and she took over. She knew a lot and was good at engaging everyone and writing good notes. As a substitute teacher she was good.

Dr. Brady was an amazing professor! You will have a fair amount of reading assignments, but they aren't terrible to manage. It is essential that you read them and attend class to understand what is going on. Attendance is mandatory, but she is understanding if you have to miss a class or two. If you are ever lost, she is always there to help.

She kinda talks funny but trust if you go to class, ask stupid questions, and do the easy assignments you'll pass. a lot of people don't like her but she's sweet and it's an easy class
