Bill is a pleasure to take a class from. His descriptions and techniques are well developed. I would seek him out before any other professors I have had in this area.

Bill is the type of teacher that inspires a person to want to make a real difference in the world. He is such a great translator of the tough texts. People who are afraid to take Philosophy can feel comfortable in his class. And those who are gung ho will be terrifically challenged. Plus he's absolutely hilarious! Great fun!

Bill was great. he's a wonderful teacher and has a passion for teaching. he's very openminded and promotes sharing your opinion. very funny and i really felt my faith in good teachers has been restored. i will take him again just for fun as soon as i have free time in my schedule. read suggested stuff, go to class, and you'll be fine.

Bring your friends to class! Makes you want to go out and do something in the world. Very willing to meet anytime outside of class to talk further about ideas or clarify something from class. Likes people. Don't agree with his ideas? No problem. He's always down for a great discussion. Essay tests and take home tests can be tough, watch out!

Bill is nothing less than BRILLIANT. So much so that I am majoring in him! (Which is not far from the truth.) He's an extremely engaging person, he is clear and understandable, he has reasonable expectations of his students, he understands that life happens, and he is more than willing to work with you in or out of class. Bring a friend! *****

I stumbled on Bill class by accident. I just wanted to take a Philosophy class and I am REALLY glad I picked him. He is not only HILARIOUS but his knowledge is unbelievable. I always left the class with information to share. Bring a friend. You'll love him. Pay attention. Do the homework. Don't be afraid to ask questions. TAKE HIM!

Super good teacher. He wnated to make sure you understood everything. Farily easy test if you put attention in class. homework was optinal but helped a lot if you did it. But the best of all is that he will make you laugh!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill is an AMAZING teacher He has so much more to teach us about the world we live in than what is in the text book. He helped me to open my eyes like you have no idea. He is so humorous, young spirited, and kind. This doesnt mean the work isnt hard, it is challenging but if you apply yourself to his class youll GREATLY rewarded in life.

Bill is extremely well spoken and intelligent. Not the super professor I was told I couldn't live without but a great teacher all the same. I thought his "followers" (he doesn't sponser) they just follow him around and worship his every word are a bit annoying. But Bill is great, he teaches because he loves it and you will enjoy his class.

Bill is extremely bright and well spoken. He's willing to help any student with any problem. He's a must for a fun philosophy course.

This is not your average Phil 100 class. Bill will teach you how to think critically and you will learn something from him.

Stewart has changed many of his students lives. He is simply an AMAZING professor. HE IS NOT EASY. But he is not hard. I promise you will be laughing the ENTIRE lecture. He is amazing. 40% of his classes are repeat students. Most of the repeat students take the classes just for fun. Because Stewart is that amazing

Great teacher, makes the class interesting.

Very good++ professor, very well liked e****ially among his flock of followers. Very challenging course, but very interesting. I came away very fulfilled in the knowledge he parted with. Take him, but DO THE WORK and you will do fine.

Bill really is a phenomenal teacher. Very clear in his lectures, sticks to the material, and makes time before and after class to allow impromptu study groups. Hilarious guy, great class, intelligent delivery...if you are easily offended, be careful, examples can be out of the ordinary.

Bill changed my world. I didn't think I was capable of passing a class let alone excelling in a subject I knew nothing about. He makes you want to be the best you possible. Do yourself a favor and take him even if you don't need or want to take a philosophy class. You will learn more then you can ever imagine & have a new zest for learning & life.

This guy is no doubt the best professor that City has. He changed my world! I haven't seen a better professor @ SDSU yet either, and i'm writing this review2 yrs after i took his class. You should go into the class with an open mind, because he's totally going to get you to think on some next level stuff.Take his class, he will broaden your horizon

He is fantastic! He will stop lecturing completely to explain anything in detail if you just ask. He's fun, knowledgeable, and interesting, keeps you awake, learning and laughing all class. Just don't miss a lecture because being in class is pertinent in understanding the presented material. But with him, you won't want to miss a single lecture!

1 word: AMAZING... He is an awesome teacher and person in general. I have taken almost all his philosophy classes. Wants to know his students, will help u understand anything. Best professor I have EVER had and I'm done with college. Take good notes in class and you'll do well on the exams.

If Bill hadn't found his amazing wife to compliment him, he'd have many women after him, not for his looks or charm, but because of the depth of his character, intelligence, and passion to teach. Bill is what I look for in a professor. He's a man that challenges what you think you know, and cares about what you learn not the grade you get.

Took 2 of his classes. Probably the best teacher I've ever had!So knowledgable and has a way of conveying it all in a very understandable way. He's VERY smart!I'm an international student from Sweden & I pay over $500 per class,and I'll tell you this: I could seriously have paid the double!GREAT & AMAZING PROFESSOR THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET!

Stewart is awesome, loved his class. I made the mistake of taking his 8 am class because its so frickn early but it was not a problem getting to his class b/c it was like attending the comedy showcase every morning. Overall he is an intelligent and straight forward teacher. Study what he asks of you n u'll do great. Just do the homework!

Bill is an exceptional teacher. The subject matter is by nature complexed, however, Bill paints a picture using the most vivid colours that all becomes clear. Do yourself a very BIG favour and take him. He is on a short sabbatical for Spring 09 - back in the Fall. He is the best professor I've ever had!

He is a passionate teacher, but he is extremely unprofessional. He uses foul language way too much, and is always making sexual references. I felt extremely uncomfortable in his class. He also tries too hard to express his political point of view; Just a poor experience.

Bill is very willing to help his students do well. You can send him your papers before they are do and he will help you get to an A. There are some really fun extra credit trips. I can honestly say this class and teacher changed my life.

Who knew symbolic logic could be so much fun? Bill is an awesome professor and he's funny too. He goes out of his way to help you understand anything you're not getting, before and after class. He is very accessible. One of the best professors I've had to date. He doesn't just teach, he helps you to understand. I thoroughly enjoyed his class.

He goes by Bill. He was the MOST ENTERTAINING teacher I have ever had. His charisma is unparalleled. He'll beat the horse to death until you sufficiently understand his answers to your questions. Jokes galore! TAKE HIM!

Best class/professor I have taken at City. Hands down. No papers or graded homework. Only have to buy the workbook from the bookstore. He doesn't grade the homework, but you NEED to do it to PASS the tests. His humor is a bit raunchy but highly entertaining. His examples are crystal clear and you must be a moron to not pass. 2 exams & a final.

Love him

OMG!! words cant describe! they should make it mandatory to take a class from stewart in order to graduate like seriously..u have to see for yourself and you wil know what i mean! best teacher ever when it comes to teaching! thanks Bill!!!

Very funny teacher! AMAZING, SMART, and uses great examples. I think everyone should get at least one chance to experience Bill Stewart!!!!! He is a pill, but I will be taking more classes in the future

I went into philosophy thinking I was going to hate it. Now I want to change my major. He is so great, crude, but engaging. just like me so it works. I can't wait to take him again next semester :)

Took both Phil of Women and Eastern Phil. Stewart is incredibly animated and knows how to bring philosophy to life in a manner that his students can relate to. He may seem a bit nuts but he's a true gift of a prof.

Great class. Very fun material. You better bring your A-game when you go to class though. Be prepared to be challenged. Mr. Stewart has a uniquely effective teaching strategy and he kept me laughing all semester long. He is a joy to be around. I am not a Phil major, but I loved the class.

Great class. Interesting material. Impeccable teaching style. I have never had more fun in a class in my life. Be prepared to be challenged because he holds his students to a high standard. He is very approachable and helpful when it comes to anything pertaining to the course. Homerk is the key to passing the class. If you dont do it you wont do ok

Professor W.Stewart lectures are majestic. You will learn something new everyday. Do your homework (mandatory if you want to succeed in the course) and attend every class.

Bill is one of those profs you dream of having. There are two midterms and a final. He doesnt check HW but goes over in class. The HW is the whole course DO IT or fail. His office hrs are in the cafeteria, has lunch w/students and answers questions

William is quite a class act. He tells you from the beginning what he expects from you and what to expect from him, leaving everything clear for you to understand. He is very funny,extremely intelligent, and full of pizzaz. He's the teacher you've always wanted to have. Enjoy!

Bill is pretty much a rock star professor. He has a great sense of humor and makes learning really fun. Take him!!

he is really nice and funny, there isn't a lot of work, 2 midterms and extra credit. he lectures, and you just have to take notes. IF you are a student that likes organization in teaching then he does not do that. There are no real outlines, you just have to take notes, and hope you have all the info. plus you need to read the book.

If you get the opportunity, definitely take Bill's class. He's been a philosophy instructor for many years, he's knowledgable, and more than any other professor I've met he's committed to the success of his students. He's funny, engaging, and always has a "real world" example for you. Best class ever, we need a thousand more professors like him.

Great class! helps out every student as much as possible. Has a lot of E.C. opportunities. 2 Midterms 1Final. Do the homework and youll be alright! Highly Recommend

Bill is by far the best prof. ive ever had. Hes upbeat and really engaged in his lectures. Theres not much to do, just listen to the lectures, do the homework which he doesnt grade 2 midterms and the final. Pay attention, go get help if you need it and you'll do fine! do the extra credit he offers too. If you like witty, and outspoken hes your guy

Bill is awesome. He's very energetic, lectures are captivating, and there's tons of opportunity for help. He offers traditional office hours, he's available in the student cafe and has honor students available for tutoring (which gets you extra credit). Crude/hysterical humor (loved it). Specifically points out whats on tests. study & you'll pass.

So harder than I thought it would be but Bill is prob one of the best teachers I have ever had. Funny, creative, and keeps you interested in the class. The book is vital extra credit is vital if you don't do well on tests. Really tho I would take any class he was teaching. Hands down take this teacher.

I learned more history in Philosophy of Women than in 4 years of high school. The BEST teacher I have had, EVER. Super smart & funny, to the point of life-changing. Also very kind. I don't believe everything he says (lol) but he is amazing. EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE HIM! He goes out of his way to make class enjoyable. He makes SURE you learn.

This guy knows how to keep you listening even if you arent interested. As long as you pay attention and do the very little HW he assigns you will pass any of his classes no problem. He is very funny smart and friendly. he is very willing to help and is easily accessible outside of class for any extra help

Bill is such a wonderful teacher. Going to his class he will have you laughing as soon as class starts until the last minute. He is super funny and energetic; I have taken multiple classes with him and at times some of the things he says may seem out of line or make you feel uncomfortable but it is those examples that help you on the test.

Bill is one hell of a teacher. I am taking a morning class, we all know those are the hardest to stay awake for but he makes it easy. He is very knowledgable and passionate about philosphy. He also provides funny examples that will help you in understanding the material. Very funny and interesting teacher, take his class!

lectures are truly the best. must keep up with readings to do well. tests were difficult. awesome teacher

Bill is a great guy! He is funny and wicked smart. He will make complex concepts crystal clear and will help you to think better. Do your homework and you will pass! Tests are always from the homework. He will also have extra-credit opportunities throughout the semester. I will take as many classes as I can with him.

He is such a great professor. He is really looking out for the student and cares about the education of the student. He will leave no one behind when it comes to conveying the material. He is also hilarious. You don't need to read the text book since he explains the material better than Hurley does, but you do need the book for homework.

Stewart is an intellectual know it all, but in a endearing sort of way. He also uses real world "mtv" examples to connect to the kids with his abstract teachings. He is also very loose tonged and liberal; and a sharp dressed man. His grading is HARD, but I found it refreshing and it pushed me to be a better writer. Do not take him without skills.

WARNING: this is a class of abstraction; its not easy. But Stewart is highly intelligent and fun to learn from. This being said, be prepared to be graded on a college level.

Philosophers are always the best teachers. He understands the student so much! Don't ever be afraid to ask questions or help and you'll pass the class. It can get difficult at times, but overall, it's a good challenging class. Attendance is important because it's part of your grade and it is also awesome to hear his lectures anyways. workbookfor hw

Bill is an amazing professor. If you are committed to passing the class, then he is committed to passing you. Symbolic Logic was one of my favorite classes. He makes learning things fun. Also, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS! You will not regret it.

amazing teacher! so funny! really cares about his students success in the class. I learned beyond just philosophy. it was not hard to pay attention in class because it was always so enthusiastic thanks to Professor Stewart!

Phenomenal course. Professor helped upgrade my toolbox to navigate my life. Lectures are entertaining and keeping you engaged where you don't want to skip class. I took two of his courses and would love to take another. Must take if you fear Philosophy because he will change how you think.

Do yourself a favor and take his class, you wont regret it. I went in not necessarily wanting to keep the class however after the first class I was hooked. Hes genuinely funny and kind, if you don't like that get out of here.

He is an amazing teacher. I took his 104A history of western philosophy and he is halerious, funny, he acts like a gay guy but he is awesome. Philosophy teachers are almost always crazy, but this one is in a good way and he changed my whole world of thinking. There will be hw, Mindblowing , cool people, but definatly hard reading, but he helps alot

OMG. Bill... is... AMAZING. We dont even need to call him Professor Stewart, just Bill. He's hilarious and will seriously help explain any concerns you have about some of the reading. Keep in mind you WILL NEED TO READ. And you WILL NEED TO TAKE NOTES. He lets you use your notes on the test so TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LECTURE NOTES AND READING NOTES.

I would definitely take his class again, he's amazing! If you have any questions ask him, he is very helpful.

Bill was an excellent teacher. You use the text book he wrote and he will help you with any questions you have. If you show up, do homework and make flash cards you will pass all the test and get an easy A. Even if you get all the homework questions wrong you get a 100 for doing it. And gives lots of extra credit!

Professor Bill is amazing. I took him once a week for about 3 hours at night he is super funny and has an amazing way of teaching. Our homework is done in a book that he structures. Philosophy 100 was an amazing journey and not as difficult as it sounds but your attendance is important so you stay afloat. TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM

He is an amazing professor TAKE HIM! He makes such funny and inappropriate comments. He always knows how to make the entire class laugh. Be aware that philosophy is not an easy class but the way he teaches it helps you understand it much better! He doesnt give you an exaggerated amount of hw but the homework helps you prepare for exams.

I will personally say that Bill is honestly one of the best professors/teachers I've had throughout my life in school and college. If you need to take any philosophy class, I would almost 100% recommend Bill (if possible)! He's very interactive and enjoyable to listen to; being in that class is so much fun and easiest to learn if it's by him.

PHIL100 with Bill was insane. He gives homework pretty much every day, but you get full credit as long as you complete it. His office hours are great for when you're stuck on a particular piece of content and he honestly gives extra credit points out like candy. Not an easy A, but I imagine it would be difficult to fail this class.

best and funniest professor I've ever had. he makes you feel as if he's your friend, not your professor. makes you comfortable right away. last class I have with him unfortunately. def gonna miss him. :( office hours is just hanging out and talking but still answers hw questions and helps w them

Amazing professor who cares deeply about his students. Lectures are interesting and hilarious. Encourages students to get to know one another, making the class feel like a family. Work is very easy if you pay attention. Easy grader and offers a lot of extra credit to make sure you pass. A fantastic professor that I would recommend to anybody.

Very caring professor that was super communicative. Earlier in the semester I had to drop a particularly nasty english professor that would fulfill my last credit to graduate. After asking Prof Stewart to let me in, he did. Lots of supplemental material and fun content to engage with. Not sure whats with all these negative reviews, very good prof!
