great teacher

These guys are losers. Fahrnkopf is really bright and intellectual. He's easy

He talks a lot only because he knows his stuff well. The guy is from stanford! He is super intelligent. If you listen to him, you'll know the stuff. Dont know why the loser below me (stuck pencil in my eye....)is complaining about him.

Hey, I think he's really smart, so what if he's a little weird? So am I.

His classes are interesting. Some problems are that ussually does not allow student to talk and cut some questions. On the other hand he is understanding and handle well a very complex course.

very easy

Bob is a genius of a man; however if you don't like philosophy, then don't take his courses. He is not there to make philosophy interesting, he is there to teach it to those who are genuinely interested in the subject.

awsomeeeeeeeeeee i love rob ...hahaha he is the man , easiest teacher i have ever had, i didnt eben open the book, got a A- , zzzzzzzzz

He likes to talk... only one little question, he can explain it in 10,000,000 words. BUT he is very nice and kind.

gives you the questions to study for in advance. if you listen in class, you'll do great... but it's hard to stay awake because he's keeps on going on and on about the same thing for like 10-20 minutes. but he's a nice guy...

Dr. Fahrnkopf is by far the most philosophically minded instructor you're likely to meet. As a philosophy major, I recommend him if you really are interested in good, dense philosophy. He definitely knows his stuff. Deep philosopher.

Got to admit this class was really boring but stick to it... AND I MEAN STICK TO IT... and you will get your A ... GUARANTEED

He is an easy teacher .. and gave u lots of chances to do well. There are 5 little EASY tests (50%),no midterm or final and 1 term paper (30%) and 1 presentation and participation (20%).His lectures are NOT boring.. its interesting.

He's very easy because he teaches the content so well. He gets me interested in what he talks about and gets me thinking about even deeper questions. Because of this I actually can write well because of the interests.

Looks like George Bush, talks in monotone, Doesnt eat meat, But damn his class was easy. Dont study it will mess u up. just listen and research on your own. as long as you can write a clear essay you will get an A.

This teacher is not boring if you are intrested in philosophy. You actually have to do the readings or you probably will find it boring and won't know what he is talking about.

INCREDIBLY easy marker. Lectures are boring, and he comes up with the most ridiculous hypothetical scenarios...but he's a very nice guy, very accomodating. I'd take him again for his marking alone...

I don't care what all you weirdos say! He's so nice! I do agree his analogies and hypothetical scenarios where TOTALLY outrageous, but that's half the fun! You think to yourself, "what are you saying, you crazy crazy man?!?" Anyway I also found him kinda s-e-x-y in a really seriously geeky way! Go ROBERT!!!

he is the best teacher i have ever had so far. His classes are very fun and he really explains the material well and has alot of knowledge. The tests are kind of hard so i would suggest u read the book. But thats for any class :) Over all he is a fair instructor and i would take another class with him. If u can do take a class.. no regrets :)

take this course and dont plagarize. trust me, andything an dalmost verything u write in the essay Q will give u reasonably good mark. any creativity will result in a good mark.jest flip through the text for the quizzes and u'll do well. u can retake anything almost anytime, and make up excuses for attendance and he'll cross them out.

He is a great professor, tried to motivate students rather than cramming test after test down your throat, and treats students as mature young adults, rather than a burden (as i have seen other profs do)

CRAZY easy. yeah he's boring but really nice, he'll accomadate anything. in a nutshell: boring but danged easy.

good teacher, a little boring but he helps everyone out the best he can. stay awake and get an A

Quite a boring class, however Fahrnkopf makes it so if you just try, you are guaranteed at least a B-. He also is very accommodating to students requests regarding essays and such, and does his best to make it easy for students. A very knowledagble man.

Robert is one of the nicest instructors at the college. He will accommodate you if ure struggling with trying 2 meet deadlines. He's also a very bright person. Robert did the best he could considering the subject. You have to have some type of interest in phil/rel or obviously ull find it boring. Thats with any class. Overall, I have no complaints.

He is very very nice and helpful. One of the nicest profs I've had. I'm so glad to have taken a course with him. He repeats stuffs at least twice and that helped me. The essay exams are way easier than the quizzes. Could be boring at times so drink cofee during or before class. You may need it. I learned a lot in this course.

He is the nicest guy I have ever met, though his class is a little boring. I have learned a lot from his course. If you want to transfer to SFU and take philosophy as a substitude for English, I strong recommend you to take his course.

1) easiest marking professor EVER, seriously. 2) I've taken two courses with him...neither had essays...both had two essay exams (he gives the question for it a week ahead...30 percent each) and two short reading exams (10 percent each). 3) you DO lose marks for missing class. 4) he is nice...and funny if you pay attention to his odd examples!

awesome teacher, very interesting! attendence is mandatory, will be docked marks for missing class.. if you attend class you should be able to fairly well on everything! don't even need to read the txtbk.. no essays which was nice!

This guy knows what he's talking about, but he's really really easy. He seemed to repeat things countless times. But the tests were all easy and as long as you come to class then you're guaranteed a good grade.

Hes a great prof overall. People say hes easy, but its not because the tests themselves are easy, but because he makes sure that all students understand the material. Write the test without attending lecture, gurantee you'll fail. Enjoyed him, hes fair, and I learned a lot. Highly recommended.

Bob is a very logical, non-judgemental person who lives what he preaches. You will learn a lot from him if you can get into his lectures.

This class is generally easy! the tests are simple to complete, but can be tricky! mc/tf, very fair marker. I bombed some mc/tf, and my grade suffered, but overall not a challenging course, light reading.

Hard to concentrate. if you come to class and can concentrate easy A

One of the most rational person I've ever met. Also very kind to students and if you have heart to learn He will enlighten you. I have studied under many profs and this person has helped me to be better thinker and better human being. Thank you Dr.Fahrnkopf & Hope you're around for a long long time.

Hes super nice and understanding. Tests very easy if you pay attention in class. Very thorough with everything on the test. Hard to get a bad mark. Definite GPA booster. Course evaluated by Quizzes for each chapter, 1 short essay, 1 debate (that you dont really have to prepare for, its more for fun) and your attendance. Very nice person :)

GPA BOOSTERRR, VERY BORING PROF, BUT EASYYYY MARKER, omg its ridiculous, i never knew what was going on and i just gave my opinion and id get marks LOL, i took him twice after!

It is a boring class, I mean it is Phil! but he is very understanding. There is a 2% deduction for each absence. But u can talk to him, and he'll understand! 2 in-class essays, each 30% and u have the topic 7 days in advance!2 quizes, each 10%, read the bk once, and u ll get 6%. plus, he answers questions -regarding the txtbk material- via e-mail!

very knowledgeable. repeats himself slightly, but if you can follow what he says it's very interesting.

Good prof. you can tell he is very knowledgeable..but he doesn't help to stay awake in the morning class. He picked interesting textbooks tho. I had fun reading those books. All you have to do is just read books, and you will be fine.

Prob a nice guy but such a boring teacher! Drones on and on. Not dynamic at all. his classes will be east GPA boosters if you can stand total doredom. If you learn best with an engaging teacher and class discussion I'd avoid this prof at all costs. He's like a less fun Spock...and not even a good looking Zachary Quinto version.

Robert Fahrnkopf is a really nice guy, totally approachable if you ever ask questions. You probably won't ever need to though, literally to get through this class you only need a basic understanding of the text which is the size of a paperback book. His marking is very generous and no final, only two in class essays and two quizzes.

Really nice guy and encourages in class discussions. Easy marker. Lot of reading, 2 easy essay exams, and 2 small quizzes. Highly recommend for gpa booster.

A great teacher! Very nice, and very easy. If you try you will do great. If you don't try, you will still do great...

Enjoyed the class and the exams.

Bit monotonous, but knows his stuff and is a nice guy. He mostly reads from books, or talks at length. Wasn't a ton of discussion, but we did watch a documentary at the end of the semester. Very, very easy marker. I got 100% on every paper that semester. He can drone on a bit, but I stayed after class to chat a couple times and he was very helpful.

Great, knowledgable professor. Hard to talk against him, he interrupts you and will talk over you. In any event, listen and you'll do well. The tests are easy and based right out of the book. No final or midterm. Just one big paper. Don't take unless you're interested in philosophy.

He's super nice, knowledgeable and smart. An easy marker.. He's a gpa booster. Attendance is mandatory because you lose 1% every time you don't show up. Attendance is 10% of your grade. There's no midterm or final. Just one essay, 5 quizzes which he gives bonus marks, and a debate. Easy peasy

Reallllly long and dull lectures, but you need to attend them to succeed (notes will help with tests and quizzes), also READ THE BOOK. Robert is a very easy marker and will give everyone a bonus mark if the class average was low on a test or quiz. Bring an energy drink or you will fall asleep.

His classes are super boring, but he doesn't care if you are even paying attention. He deducts marks per class missed, but he is super lenient about this. He is an easy marker and is a really nice prof.

awesome
