I took Harwood for Phil 10 and then for Phil 65, because his class is so easy! Theres no homework, he shows videos every class meeting, and there is so much extra credit.Oh yeah and 1 paper you get the entire semester to write. Plus,hes really funny!!!

VERY EASY A! lolz... VERY EASY PROFESSOR... TAKE HIM!!!

he is soooooo funny, and very intelligent. His class is very laid back, and he often gets off topic in his lectures, but they are always interesting.

This class is boring. If you enjoy vidoes and long boring discussions then this is your class. His videos are like elephant tranquilizer and his lectures are even worse since he doesn't turn off the light. Anyway, good luck if you plan on taking this guy.

his class is very easy as long as u go to class. He has like a 3 question quiz at the end of every class and like 2 midterms which are opennote and u can talk to ppl during them. the only hard part is the paper which u will learn to do at least one month before class ends

very very easy no hw, alot of extra credit, quiz or midterm open book and notes, easy A take it if u want A one thing he talk alot alot, very annoying

hella easy teacher, the most boring class ever in the entire galactical universe. all you have to do is do a couple quizzes and one measly term paper by the end of the class which you could practically turn in the second day of class. extra credit everyday. i suggest you bring food or gum to class.

all i gotta say is EASY A. yeah it may be boring but you can show up late leave early and have someone else turn in your quiz.no homework at all juss extra credit and the exams are open book. the downside is the term paper which is somewhat difficult but you can look at a lot of examples.

Dr. Harwood's class is easy as long as you attend class everyday and turn in your final essay (which you should start at least one week before it's due). He's nice and understanding (yeah, and a bit boring, but what do you expect? It's school) The easiet A you can ever EARN.

he's funny.

if u want A and w/out doing any hard work, take this, if u want to learn, then take some other teacher, test r open book, even quiz, he'll give u the answer in class, no hw, if u want extra creadit just do the hw, u don't have to go, only on test if u want, very boring class,

A very boring class, but an easy A. He counts attendence, so you have to be there. I took it as a summer class, and it was very LONG. He's not a very dynamic speaker, but there's extra credit every day. Just do the term paper and quizzes, you'll be fine.

He stated if you never talked in class, the least you can get was a C. I never talked, but was there for every class, did my term paper and probably bombed the final, yet I manage to get an A. His class is boring, but easy. He gives you the test questions in advance and his final is similar to it!

he is an ok teacher the one thing i didnt like is all the extra credit made me think i had a really good grade. it is more work than he makes it seem like and nobody does most of the work

Dr H is very knowledgable. Does go off on tangents-ALOT, but all in all he's good. He does need a TA or something cause he is not organized and that gave me anxiety. I agree that he's a "gracious grader". DO not procrastinate on his Term Paper though that thing is crazy. Open note test/ a bunch of extra credit assignemnts make his class easy

You have to attend every class for quizzes at the end. Quizzes and final exam are multiple choices, picking from the test bank. One term paper due on final exam date. Follow guideline for Term paper to get an A. There are a lot of extra credit. Highly recommend Dr.H to you.

This class is really easy! Gives extra credit every day. You get quizes everyday in class but their all extra credit. Watched videos almost all the time and you get extra credit for writing notes on the video too. He's really into his work and keeps you interested.

Really helpful. If you ask him anything weather its through email or in person he will really take his time to make sure that you understand. I don't understand why people are complaining about not learning philosophy when he assigned us a book to read and if you read even half of it you will learn a lot about philosophy. Great professor overall.

He is awsome! SO EASY! Just go to Class, take notes, talk every once in a while, and watch the videos in class. Do all that and you got an A. He is the nicest teacher I will ever meet.

Professor Harwood is one of the best teachers at EVC. Highly recommended to every person who wants to take phil. This teacher always keeps light atmosphere in the class and is very humorous. Loved his class and loved how he helps students with anything and is more than willing to encourage them. Jus don't murmur in the class and do the work!!

Harwood has an unusual system but it is one of the best class experiences I've had. If you communicate with him, he will respond promptly and thoroughly. In class you'll mostly study conspiracy theoriescryptids while he cracks quick-witted jokes, then you'll take an easy quiz based on the reading. Taken him for 2 classes and highly recommend.

You have a test every class from a testbank given the first day of class. He continuously graded the tests wrong (due to an off key) and would make everyone submit separate corrections even though we all had the same answers. The term paper was mostly copy and pasting his definitions with opinion sprinkled in (got an A) and this guy loves to talk.

Took this course Summer 2015. He gave out a packet of simple statements from the book (that he provides) that were either T/F. Daily quizzes based on the book were easy, because 95% of the time they were group quizzes and they were from the packet. For the paper, just pick a topic of interest. Although it'll take some time, it isn't too hard.

He gives out a lot of extra credit, he will also give you a free book so you don't have to buy it yourself. You can tell he cares about the class. Very easy but good. Make sure to start the paper early ! Make sure to participate and make sure he knows your name for good participation.

He is a very great teacher, I would recommend his class to everyone. He is very funny, I always looked forward to this class.

Mr. Harwood is a great Philosophy professor. The book we read in class was perfect for an intro level Philosophy student. His lecture is awesome, and he keeps it moving well with his humor. If you do the work you will get everything you put into this class and more. I highly recommend this professor.

His assignment can be very confusing, but if you have a friend who took his class already, borrow that material because its the same. His grading is easy. Hes a very chill teacher, just the final research paper worth a lot

Dr. Harwood is both very funny and a great teacher. The best part of about his class is that he provides the required textbook so that one doesnt have to buy it. Also, Dr. Harwood is very helpful with any material that I needed help with and is quick to respond to emails.

He is so caring and helpful. I was scared of the final paper at first, but with his help, I was able to get an A on that paper. He is hilarious too. You wont never get bored in his class.

Honestly, one of the coolest guys out there. I was very scared of the class because I wasn't interested in philosophy. But I do recommend taking him, especially during the summer. He's easy and chill. Quizzes everyday, but it was open book. Final paper was pretty easy because he guided you through it and he's an easy grader.

this is an easy A class. but of course you have to do your part which is show up to class regularly and take daily quiz and participate which is not hard at all. He does everything to help a student get an A in this class. lots of extra credit for those who's not much of a test taker! much recommended!

Professor Harwood is one of the rare types who truly does want their students to succeed. He responds to emails promptly and is always willing to help provide materials for his class. This class was a great experience.

Professor H was a very helpful teacher where whenever we would have a question about anything regarding philosophy he would respond to emails very quickly. Also, the way he was teaching us was fun, because he discussed all of the materials in class where at first it was very confusing because it has a lot of information but when you come regularly.

Dr. H is the best professor!!!! At first his lectures looked so hard and all the handouts too, but once you start listening him and read all the handouts carefully, you will get it. For the homework you have to do extra credits. He will provide you with hundreds of extra credit material to boost up your grade. He will always help his students! :)

This class requires a lot of reading, but it is quite easy. You must read all the handouts and pay close attention on how to write a term paper correctly. You must ask Dr.H ASAP if you are unsure. You should take full credit for class participation by representing 3 ABC sets in class. Final exam is a piece of cake.

He is a good person, but his teachings is some times just everywhere. His paper was the most confusing paper that I have done. If you do not get his paper I suggest getting it done ahead of time to get feedback from him, it does help. He loves when you participate so make sure you stay on top of that.

Took the class during summer classes and I really enjoyed it. Hard to fail this class if you follow directions, attend and participate. Professor Sterling makes the class fun and interesting.

Star in a super summer! He is really awesome and way of teaching is really easy. Hope everyone teaches like him.

Overall, I felt like the class was kind of disorganized at first but then Dr. Harwood is there to mostly help you write your paper. Get it done early and have him help by putting quptes on the board or else he will discuss other things.

Hes great and very passionate about philosophy. Start the paper soon its not bad. Hes the most caring and kind teacher Ive ever had Would recommend to anyone

I've never rated any teachers, but Sterling Harwood is the first. He is very friendly and precious. I was worried about the subject because it was relatively difficult. I decided to take his class. He always makes the class comfortable. Although during the Covid-19 pandemic, he always helps us day by day.

He is a great professor, very helpfull and gives tons of extra credit. As long as you take the quizes and use the book required follow his direction and tips for paper and USE them you will most def pass this class. highly recommend Professor Harwood if you need this class!!!

Professor Harwood was able to give me additional help inside and outside the classroom. He's very understanding and is willing to work with you as long as you communicate.

Dr. Harwood's unconventional teaching style encourages students to think outside the box and apply philosophical concepts outside the classroom. He's lenient about providing ample opportunities for extra credit and class participation. Also, he's understanding and considerate of struggling students and flexible with extended time for assignments.

He is the best Teacher in EVC. I ever seen it. You should easily get A. Take his class

This class is overal good and is not too much work. The final, while lenghty, is open book and all true and false. The term paper is the major decider in this class, with all the guidelines and the required length, it is a lot of work, but you get the whole semester to work on it, so as long as you don't procratinate like I did, it won't be a issue

Awesome teacher. A bit demanding at first, but if you read the announcements and are willing to write, you will get an A in the class.

Dr. Harwood is awesome

By far my best experience with an online class. He expects a lot out of you, but he gives you all the tools you need to succeed. Always ask him questions and clarification, that is the only way you can pass. The class may seem intimidating but it is a piece of cake once you know what you are doing! take him you won't regret it! he is so coolce

Professor H class was an easy one because he gave so much detailed instructions for me to understand the assignment.

Doc Harwood man, i am telling you, from experience his class are a real gem. His lectures and story are really engaging. He often gets sidetracked and tells unrelated stories, but that's where the best stuff happens. He does have interesting philosophical viewpoints. Easy class, take it if you want a enjoyable experience stress free.

Awesome professor. Very informative. Will help you out in the middle of the night.

Well, his guidelines are VERY CLEAR. Those who said they can't follow are probably too lazy to read the available materials. He is very caring, conscientious, and hilarious. Texting him 24/7 is true. Since this course has no zoom meeting, you can do everything on your own pace. Recommended

If you get to know Dr.H, you will see him as a passionate and funny professor. His class is not like the other classes but if you put a little more effort into it, you could get more from it. More always better.

This course is very informative because we will learn to make strong arguments by analyzing quotes from our chosen topics. Also, Dr.H is available 24/7 to answer students' emails with detailed feedback. Besides, this class rarely has due days, and we can resubmit our work until we get an "A."Take this course, and you will never regret it.

Dr. H is always there to answer questions anytime of day. He provided any resources I needed. it was fun!

I got good score on this class because I manage to complete a term paper (Topic: Bigfoot) within a month, take the true/false quizzes, and submit at least 13 abc sets by email to get an 'A' in class. I made my first call with him and he provide good feedback on abc sets and told me that it is possible to do a term paper in 5 hours!

Professor Harwood is the best philosophy teacher at EVC. Professor Harwood always help his students. Students can submit their work again and again to get an 'A'. Professor Harwood responds to emails quickly as well.

I have taken Professor Harwood and he is very caring for his students. In fact, he allows his students to email him their term papers ahead of time to receive feedback. He lets the students know what they need to do to get their term paper to an A. In addition, he lets students borrow a book if they don't have one. I highly recommend his class!

Amazing guy, amazing course, extremely accessibleyou call call him anytime. I've called him for help at 3 AM! His courses aren't a bad workload at allsimple if your follow instructionsand eye opening. Amazing coursewould recommend!! P.S. He is hilarous!! I got a laugh out of his syllabus.

Stay on top of your assignments and you'll be fine. Great professor, easy assignments and accessible.

Hes pretty good. Hard to tell what its normally like due to COVID

This Professor is willing to work with you and help you in all aspects. He is available for feedback 24/7. Great sense of humor as well.

Dr. H is a great professor that goes in-depth talking about the term paper, the 14 ABC SETS for class participation, the quizzes, and the brag sheets. This class is merely simple, just do the work and you will be fine. I would say work together when you are preparing for the quizzes and always have an index card ready.

Dr.H is a great professor. I would say in this course you have a term paper, brag sheets, quizzes, 14 ABC SETS, and a lot of extra credit. As long as you do the work, you will be fine. Send in the term paper early to get feedback quickly. Work together on the quizzes to get the best results.

Dr. H is a cool and respectable person. His lectures are engaging and memorable. Would recommend him 10/10. His feedback is clear and helpful. There should be no reason to be lost in the course unless one does not ask for help.

Very helpful, lectures are interesting

This course is very informative because we will learn to make strong arguments by analyzing quotes from our chosen topics. Also, Dr.H is available 24/7 to answer students' emails with detailed feedback. Take this course, and you will never regret it.

Attendance is "mandatory" in that the note cards you turn in cover a very small part of your final grade, but come to class regardless to ask him questions and get explanations for what to do on ABC sets, quizzes, and the term paper. You will be lost if you don't come to class or contact him for help. In-person > online for this professor :)

Professor H is one of the coolest old white guys I ever met. The work was mostly done alone, so you have to be on it. Over all I came in thinking I would fail and passed.

I highly recommend this class! Dr.H is very helpful, so don't be afraid to ask questions. If you don't want to ask questions in class, then just email him or call him. Do the work and there are a lot of extra credit opportunities! :D

He is very understanding and always wants to help.

Take this course! Overall it was good! Very helpful!

Take this class, it's really not that bad! He's a pretty respected professor, but just make sure to do the work!

The professor is easygoing and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.

He is funny and gives out a lot of extra credit to raise your grade.

Dr. H's philosophy course is as easy as it gets. He provides no homework really, except 12 pages worth of reading from his book , which he quizzes you on weekly (open note). My advice would be to take his course if you need an easy going professor. Also, do NOT wait last minute to complete his final paper since it takes time to come up with quotes.

Dr.H's class is not that bad, you should take his class. All you have to do is look up quotes to get credit, take quizzes based on the book, and of course the final paper.

Prof. Harwood was really easy and laid back. He never gave out homework just the quizzes but they were always easy. And he always gave out tons of extra credit. Overall he was a great professor.

Dr. Harwood is a great teacher that teaches a class with a lenient approach. He gives students multiple chances and proper corrections about how to do our semester-long term paper. He encourages students to work together if they have the same paper topic and help each other in the open-ended quizzes in our required textbook.

He is the Best Professor at Evergreen valley college. Explained the whole class in a very unique way and overall He is Awesome. The matter in his class is participation.

Class is structured in a way easy to learn logic and critical thinking of quotes and statements. Very enjoyable and entertaining learning about conspiracy theories as well. Lots of extra credit opportunities if willing to participate in class. Not difficult to pass if keeping up with the syllabus. Highly recommended for anyone.

Dr. Harwood is a interesting guy, his lectures are hilarious, but absolutely pointless. Almost no legit material gone over in class, just refers us to files. He is very accessible via phone at almost all hours, but his feedback is very unclear at times. Easy tests. Start the term paper asap to give yourself more time to revise your work

Fall 2022 Semester. Interesting and entertaining class. Purpose is to examine quotes or popular sayings logically and with critical thinking of the words and language used in certain forms. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their awareness to their own way of thinking or beliefs about anything. In class participation is encouraged.

He gave unique and entertaining lectures. His criteria was unique so it may be difficult to understand initially. He grades us on our weekly quizzes, notes taken on what we learned each class, and our final term paper. He gives out a lot of extra credit when showing up to class so be prepared to take advantage of that. Start your term paper ASAP.

Professor Harwood has an interesting way of running his class, show up to do brag sheets, quiz weekly but quite easy. Get started on the paper ASAP. Rants during lecture so there isnt really any materiel learned. He does provide a lot of resources for term papers, and sometimes gives snacks.

very helpful

I strongly recommend this class since Dr.H is pretty reasonable on grading and gives lots of extra credits for you guys. He also offers free textbooks for you guys. We have such a great time studying his class.

Pretty good professor. He doesnt mind you being late. When you're late he doesnt bicker on why your late. Instead he welcomes you to the class and give you details of what you've likely missed out on. He's patient and gives plenty of room for you to make up missing work.There are easy weekly quizzes and a term paper. Barely any homework as well. #1

Easy assignments in class, rarely any hw, extra credit opportunities, great communication for clarity or help inside and outside class. Gets off topic with story telling but balances both. Overall great professor.

Regardless of some of the people supposedly rating highly for extra credit, I found this class entertaining. The teacher points out a lot of useful things you should pay attention to for the classwork and does so hilariously. There's also a chance to get extra credit for helping out. The term paper and the quizzes are very simple. Great overall.

Professor Harwood's class is a great balance of easy assignments, optional extra credit, and engaging lectures. While he can get a bit off-topic, the course material is interesting, and Unstuck study was a helpful study tool.

Can get off topic easily but great guy, very helpful, kind, funny, and easy to contact outside of class. I will say that the term paper can get confusing especially if you're writing on certain topics because of the guidelines he requires you to follow (there's a LOT) AND weekly quizzes are also confusing but overall I had an enjoyable semester!

Professor Harwood was one of my favorite professors ever. He gives clear instructions and examples and helps you throughout the way, so much so that we can even text and call him, which is really helpful. He's super involved and gives a lot of life lessons. It's very easy to earn an A in his class if you follow his directions to a T.

AMAZING!!!!

Dr. Harwood is incredible. He's available on the phone 24/7 and texts like a friend would. His class rules are straightforward. NO tests, NO homework, NO exams! You have basically one assignment to work on the entire semester, just don't save it till the last minute and ur good! When ppl complain abt him, i know its cuz they have no agency.

This is not a class where you read works from philosophers like Camus or Nietzsche together and go over it. This class focuses on logical and ethical philosophies, how to argue, and learning fallacies. Everyday you bring up a contraversial topic, such as a quote or theory, and Dr. H debates it with you. You learn to think for yourself! So fun!

Easy A. The only reason you wouldn't get an A is if you don't attend class. All the tests/quizzes are easy since he gives the answers to them the class before. The end of the semester essay is easy as long as you follow the format from the example essay. If you fail that's on you.

Funny and approachable. Makes coursework=lightwork. As long as you do the bare minimum you'll get an A.
