Steven Viner

Professor Viner was a great professor with immense passion for the class. He encouraged all students to participate and ensured that students properly understood the material. He made sure that students suceeded in his class.

Steve is a nice professor, I got a bit annoyed because sometimes he entertained some ideas from people who were actually just trying to provoke shock value but he also handled it quite well. The class is interesting and makes you think a lot about your own opinions. Prof Viner is also great at explaining the theories which sometimes were a bit convoluted. The discussions were really interesting and got most people talking. There's 4 assignments in total: 3 take home exams and 1 presentation of a reading during a discussion. I thought the presentation to be quite easy and I think it just depends on what theory you get. The exams were a bit annoying because I never found them to be quite hard but kept losing points because he wanted less explanation but also wanted everything defined, so it was a challenge, but figured it out by the last one. You will definitely have a few laughs in this class because people really start saying anything. I do 100% recommend it, especially cause you get the philosophy credit without taking a very brutal class.

Not a fan of steve, he is not very welcoming or great with office hours. additionally, many times over the semester i tried asking him about specific homework questions over emails and he is yet to write me back once.
