Professor Kvanvig is one of the most difficult professors I have had to deal with throughout my academic career. He is rarely available outside of class hours, extremely specific on his grading metrics, and an overall boring/shallow guy.

Worst professor I've had at WashU. In class, he is the only one who talks and just lectures nonsense at you. He tries to act nice and accessible outside of class, but he is the complete opposite. Avoid classes with him

I LOVE Dr. Russell. The class wasn't too difficult but there's a good amount of logic involved. She's crystal clear with her explanations. She promoted good discussion and is very knowledgeable in philosophy. I don't see what the other people are talking about, I loved her.
