I heard the class was hard but than it turned out to be lot easier than I thought - aced the midterm. Lot of reading but if you go to class and hit office hours or just email her, she helps a lot with essays and makes it easy to undersand.

Gets good conversations going with the class. The mid-term and final weren't hard. Just spend your time on the two papers. She is incredibly helpful if you see her during office hours and she likes to see you show interest in the topics discussed. Great professor, take her.

She is nice. Not alot of work at all! jsut reading with some quizes but you don't even need to do the reading to pass the quiz. She is a little crazy but the class is fun, there are alot of class discussion of the material.

the class was a lot more interesting than i thought it would be. the first unit was really difficult, but it got better. i think the ratings here are a little harsh on her. she is def. crazy, but she grows on you. she's really sweeet and so crazy and funny but she doesnt mean to be.

90% of your grade is based on 3 things- 1 Essay, which u get to choose from about 4 topics, the mid-term, and the final. I only worked 3 times the whole year and got an A ..the other 10% is participation..its philosophy u cant be wrong so say anything.... easy A

it is not the easiest class i've taken. The first part was very hard and i didn't do well in the midterm. Still, my grade was not that bad--3.3. Decent grader. The topics were very interesting, though. I learned a lot.

She is kinda demanding. A lot of readings. Detailed exam questions on EVERYTHING. But I do think she is fair and I did learn a lot.

Course elements: daily readings, one paper on assigned theme, presentation, midterm, and final. She really makes one use their noodle so if that's not your forte, do not take her class. You will not do well just by showing up, but this is definitely a class worth taking.

Professor Herr is a talented and fair teacher. There is no doubt, this class is tougher than others, but your grade is a direct factor of how much time you put into it. You will find that the lazy/dumb students will look for excuses or blame professor Herr. I'm not brilliant and i got a 3.7 She's worth taking.

Altough I heard that this class is hard, I sailed through. 3 exams are easy if you study her studyguide questions. essay is somewhat difficult, but she was very helpful when I visited her office. she also lets you rewrite to get a higher grade. The topics were also interesting. I'd recomend her!

tests are easy and only one short essay requirement. some of the readings were difficult but her slides are clear. she used movies a lot and they were interesting. i enjoyed the topics and felt that my eyes were opened about a lot of things.

Awesome teacher!

I don't understand the harsh reviews. I tried getting out of the class when I first saw her reviews. I'm glad that I didn't. She's pretty good, and it's not a very difficult class. Do the weekly readings, and you'll do fine. I really don't find her opinions all that bad. I know that it's a business school, but you have to accept reality sometimes.

Not difficult at all. Plus the required books really helped me understand the US and its economic situation. It was a great class!

she is not bad at all. not sure why some rated her so harshly. may be they didn't pay attention in class? one thing that i appreciated about her is that she was very fair. i thought she might grade my essay harshly because i'm a libertarian, but i got an A for my essay. she's cool.

I liked discussions about animal rights and the death penalty. She was cool with different opinions. The text about consumption was disturbing but eye-opening.

hard readings at the beginning. discussions about current topics in the second half. you need to read the material before class to get the quizzes, it's not a piece of cake. critical thinking is what she emphasized and i feel i learned something from this course.

Very nice teacher, she gave us everything needed for all tests and quizzes. The final paper is rather easy and she reviews it and gives advice to improve the paper. She gives everything needed for a good grade. Barely any homework besides some small reading pieces. Overall, an eye opening class.

She's awesome! I enjoyed the class!

Ranjoo is an amazing Professor the stuff I learned was amazing. I highly recommend her since you will learn material that will enhance your understanding of life in ways you never thought about. geo333

I learned a lot about current topics and about the moral theories that apply to them and I have to say I was surprised that my positions on so many of these topics changed as the semester went on. These changes were definitely for the better.

You can get a lot out of this class if you read and prepare for the class. Quizzes are perhaps the hardest part. Exams are easy and I got very helpful feedback on my draft.

she emphasizes critical thinking. the first part was a bit abstract but later topics were interesting and relevant. i had difficulty with the first part, but visiting her office and talking helped a lot. she's nice. midterm was easy. to do well on the daily quiz you have to do the reading. i disliked group discussion because other kids don't think.

i found her AAFs rather hard at the beginning, but as i did more of it it gets easier and it does help me understand the readings better. she's not easy, but her classes did help me become a better thinker.

Herr is cool, genuinely wants her students to do well. Have to do somewhat challenging AAF's, depends how good you are at this stuff. But the 2 exams arent bad, just have to study. Read for 20 min after every class as next class is centered around that. You get out what you put in with Herr, and would recommend if you want a low stress class.

i think other kids don't appreciate her because she makes you work hard and because she is foreign. but if you work hard, it is not that hard. she really cares that we learn critical thinking. I was a bit skeptical at the beginning because of these harsh reviews, but realized that she is very fair and reasonable. i learned a lot!

She is very passionate about Philosophy and tries to make you feel the same. There is ALOT ALOT of reading but it's ok if you don't fully understand it because the whole class time is one big discussion over the readings. Online quizzes and forms for homework but nothing too bad. Just put the work in and show you care and you'll do great.

she gives clear guidelines on how to get a good grade. if you work reasonably hard, then you will ace it. along the way, you become a better thinker. I appreciated what i learned in her class.

Prof Herr is a decent choice for PH101. Not ridiculous amounts of homework, tests arent killer, as long as you pay attention and participate its an easy 3.7-4.0. Very easy to find at her office hours, or even other times. Ok feedback on mini essays she calls reading responses. Class is boring if class doesnt engage, so try and participate

I need to do Professor Herr some justice here. I took her last semester for my first semester at Bentley and her ratemyprofessor rating drastically misrepresents her as a teacher. She is an extremely fair, albeit tough, grader and is politically unbiased. If the course subject looks like something you will be interested in you will enjoy the class.

I was definitely surprised by the low ratings for Professor Herr because I absolutely loved her and PH319. She is very willing to help you if you need it and it was a comfortable space to talk and participate in. If you just do the readings and participate the class is easy. There are no tests and only 4 writing assignments that aren't long at all.

I also feel that I have to give professor Herr some justice here. Although VERY politically charged I thought she was very sweet and graded very fairly. She is willing to give out A's if you put the work in and actively participate. Most discussions were intellectually stimulating and I actually took away good ideologies from the class.

Sincerely, not bad at all. We had a 15-ish page reading before every class, so twice a week. That's all we did in the semester, read before class, discuss the reading in class, and repeat. We had 3 essays 2 pages long the whole semester. Easy grader. Lectures are a little boring but not too bad. Take her.

I love the environment of the class, and how she facilitates it. Even when my classmates and I aren't being as responsive in conversation as we could be, she always manages to flip it around and gain our interest while still professing.

The professor taught political philosophy about global matters. it was a bit depressing but she opened my eyes to things that I never thought about. My sense is that many others don't agree with me. I suppose if you don't want to learn about such things or think about them, class can be difficult.

I don't know why everyone rated her so low, she is a very nice professor, and her class is very interesting. There is no big exam in this class and homework is really easy (2 questions) but a good amount of reading. Class is more political philosophy/race related. No typical midterm/final, just 2 papers which are 300 words minimum.

The professor is kind and enthusiastic when it comes to political and ethnic philosophy. The workload consists of two readings per week, with two short-answer questions per reading and two reading response papers throughout the semester. Her class is mainly lecture-style with a mix of group work.

PH315. 3 tests that aren't difficult if you take notes on the slides beforehand. 2 Film reviews and a final paper that are not a heavy lift. Overall, a good choice for this c and p category.
