Class is just kind of boring. Hazlett gets really abstract with the topics, spending time on questions like "what is seeing? can we \'see\' something through a computer screen? a picture? etc." I would have preferred a more applied class. Still, some readings were cool and they were pretty light.

Not sure about for other classes as it seems there were some issues, but for this class specifically he was totally fine. Lectures could get dry but not horribly. Assignments were so reasonable and his TA was the most helpful, kind, and knowledgeable TA I've had.

Horrible, has no connections with students, and always rambles on and on. Just take another philosophy professor, you will have so much more fun.

A lot of the reviews here are really poor but I've had an abnormally good experience with professor Hazlett. His class was really easy and fun to attend. He yaps A LOT though and 99% is completely irrelevant to the course though. If you enjoy that kinda thing and an easy A take this course !!!

Took Philosophy of the Arts. A fascinating class, but just difficult instruction. Professor Hazlett really would take the entire hour + 15 min. block to listen to himself talk, giving himself "goods" on what he said. Also an insanely difficult and nit-picky grader on papers when we had little grades to begin with. Decent feedback, but cost me an A

There's an old saying : You get out what you put into a class. But that's not true for Hazlett. You will get nothing out of this class, no matter what you do. He clearly talks because he likes the sound of his own voice, and gets caught up with semantics and minutia rather than tell you literally anything important. He gives philosophy a bad name.

Horrible professor. Talks about literally nothing important ever. Nitpicks the strangest things on essays. Weirdly a harsh grader for such a dumb class.

Took Logic and Critical Analysis, really easy class/grader. Lectures consist of going over the previous weeks homework for an hour then doing two examples. Really really boring but you dont need to pay attention.
