Christopher Colacchia

2-4 hrs/week

Mostly pretty chill, readings can be really confusing and hard to follow because of their archaic language, but Colacchia breaks them down really nicely, and he can very effectively lead a discussion-based class. Can be a little boring sometimes but there definitely have been some thought-provoking questions from time to time. Colacchia also allows revisions for the midterm essays and gives really good feedback on them; I pulled my 82.5 up to a 97.5 post revision.

intro level phil courses are unfortunately homing beacons for people who are loudly insecure in their intelligence, great philosophers really attracts the worst of the worst though. since the class is formatted in a mostly learn by discussing structure if the people in your class suck the class is gonna suck. i kid you not someone loudly and proudly posed “do you think hitler was a virtuous person” and “dont you think slavery had some merits though” as completely unironic ungermane attempt to sound smart and contrarian. overall, colacchia didnt really seem like someone who knew how to lead a productive learning environment. he appears to know his stuff though
