I took the Classical Philosophy class thinking we were only going to focus on the Greeks, but he does more than just the Greeks. If you're not obnoxious, you do the readings - which he gives quizes on, and they're easy if you read, you should pass his class. He also has alot of experience and makes it interesting.

Please try to stay away from this professor. He doesn't know how to teach at all, and his notes that he writes on the bored are terrible. He is all over the place and unorganized with his work. He also tends to dismiss the class late, which causes you to be late for your next class. I wouldn't take him again.

Not bad teacher, boring, likes to talk on and on.. let's class out late & comes to class late.. Sometime's funny (that's the good part).. quizes every week (and no not based on your opinion) actual questions out of book you read that week. Note taking is not bad. Worst part is how he doesn't stop talking when class is like 5 minutes over already!

They say two essay's that's it, what a lie! 10 question quiz's sometimes twice a week, but definitely on a weekly basis, sometimes you may even get three. Essay's are graded down to a T. Many people got D's on the essays. The midterm highest grade- 78

Solid teacher, breaks down the information clearly. A fair amount of reading and a daily quiz but most of it isn't terrible. The hardest part of this class is the lack of clarity on his grading procedures. It's pretty arbitrary, which is frustrating but understandable in a philosophy course.

I've been in Professor Repetti's Philosophy of Religion class and Intro to Philosophical Problems. I think his lectures are amazing, and he's always clear about what you need to get done. Pay attention and be involved in discussions and you'll be fine. If you do happen to fall behind, he's pretty easy to reach outside of class and willing to help.

May I just say I had to literally drop this class after a week. I got a 2/10 on an intro o yourself discussion board! How does that even make sense. His quizzes are very tricky all the answers look to be correct and it is only one question quiz. Even if you think your ready before the quiz you are not!

Professor, Repetti is one the most intelligent and one of the best teachers I've ever met. All you need in his class is willingness to learn the philosophy, to think and to talk about it. I changed so much after his class and he inspired me for many things. I would take his class again. He also gives extra credits.

I took Professor Repettis class as an online course this past semester. The online set up was organized and clear! Yes, he makes you work but nothing insane just reading, discussions, quizzes and tests. Overall, I really enjoyed his class and it was clear that he knows what he is talking about and pushes you to really think .

Honestly one of the worst professors I've ever had He does very little to help if you're struggling as well as rambles a lot in his lectures. He's also very unreliable and not helpful in emails

Prof. Repetti is a good prof, I enjoy his lectures but he is tough grader, and his weekly discussion are more difficult than his weekly quiz. (1-2 questions) Please follow his guidelines and you will be ok, he you don't he will call you out on it. for example word count on the discussions.

This Professor showed me that it is important to study not for a grade but for the knowledge. I was motivated to learn something new in this course every week and I enjoyed the materials he provided. He makes you THINK, OBSERVE, and LEARN. Be ready to study a lot, but you will get new experience and knowledge that will be with you for life.

He will accuse you of cheating on no or weak grounds. You are punished for appearing smart while he is caught making many silly typos and spelling errors. Kids himself and thinks he's super smart but is not. I was excited for this class until I had this professor. Avoid at all costs

So far, I am very disappointed by this professor not only have no access to Brightspace, he made anyone to use Dropbox to look at the *old materials*. For anyone who wasn't good at using Dropbox, take the other professors who would let you have access to Brightspace and understand the material in order to pass any Philosophy course.

Professor Repetti is tough but fair. Engaging with his specific teaching approach pays off - attend class, do the work, and you'll learn a lot. unstuck study was a lifesaver for quiz prep.

This professor was amazing. He's very engaged and is exciting to be in front of when learning. I really recommend you take his class. He is a professor who I can say really does love his job. He's a great guy. I got to know him on a personal level. However, he gave a pop quiz every week, which was one question which wasn't bad.

Prof Repetti is a bad person. He acts like he cares about his students but he doesn't. He cares abkut the topic but has no understanding of human interaction. Can you believe this guy is a counselor? I feel bad for anyone who encounters him, as he will go out of his way to put you down and make you feel horrible for absolutely no reason.

I'm convinced the positive reviews are from him and his family members because REAL students know how condescending and arrogant this pos is. He touts himself as this intelligent philosopher but is far from it. Definitely the worst "professor" I've ever had. I also think he might be racist because of the way he treats students of color.
