PHIL 1300
Lent is a cool guy, sort of a hippie. He goes over a lot of questions that will be on exams. Exams aren't too hard if you study, but you have to go to class if you even wanna have a chance at understanding the class
Phil1300
Boring class but you should either go or have a friend go because he gives many test answers in class. Would not recommend if Philosophy doesn't seem to be your thing and you aren't required to take it.

Lent is amazing. People do not do that well in his class but that's through underestimation of the coursework, not attending class and/or paying attention, and not reading the book. Lent is more than helpful. Study and you will do well.

He is awesome! It gets confusing at times but he gives example questions that are on the exams which totally help! he is fun and rambles but he knows what he is talking about! He is willing to help if you are confused too! take him!!
Phil130
His class is interesting (most of the time). He does ramble a bit, although most of his stories are interesting. He will give you 50-60% of the exam questions in class. Be careful though, he likes to trick you by changing wording sometimes. Things seem contradictory at times.

He is one of my favorite professors ever!! He is super nice and wants everyone to do well in the class. He will give a TON of example problems in class that are just like the exams. For sure take him!!!
PHIL130
Lent is very nice. He goes over exam questions in class. He even held two study sessions before the final. Tells jokes randomly to help students stay focused. Four exams total, all multiple choice. Gave us 5 bonus points on first exam. I definitely recommend Prof. Lent.

Lent is a strange, corny kind of guy. He's good at teaching though. If you go to class and take notes every day then you'll get at least a B. If you actually pay close attention, getting an A is easy. The book is really not necessary, he'll tell you everything you need to know.
PHIL130
Lent is a very cool guy and made the class interesting. As long as you go to class and take the notes you'll do fine. The only bad thing is that the only grades for the class come from 3 big exams and the final but the questions come straight from the notes and he'll always answer any question you might have.

Dr. Lent was very helpful. He is open to new spatio-temporally unrestricted ideas about ethical theory and personal identity. He is a good teacher who answers questions energetically and encourages a fun atmosphere of philosophical discussion.
PHIL130
Lent is an amazing teacher, as long as you attend the lectures you will do amazingly on the exams. He tells a lot of stories but I believe they are what make the class. BY FAR my favorite professor at OU!
PHIL101
Lent was awesome! Great sense of humor so he was easy to follow and pay attention! The content wasn't the most interesting all the time. Gives you exact questions in class that will show up on the exam. Exams are mildly difficult. Make sure you study more than just the night before if you want to get an A. Otherwise a great intro class!

He is arrogant and talks too much. The whole class is four exams and even though he gives some of the questions to you in class, new material always shows up one them. One of our exam class averages was a 64% and he still refused to curve it. Unless you like philosophy, I wouldnt take this class.

Lent is a really cool guy in class and in real life. He normally gives you the exact questions with answers that will be on the exams. No need to buy a book because anything that will be on the exam is covered in class. You need to go to class every day and pay attention to get a good grade. But if your willing to do that this is a good class!
Phil120
Took class online and had TA's. No valuable feedback to improve discussion pts.If you participated then you should get full credit, and they never gave full credit for whatever reason. Philosophy isn't everyone's major just bc they take this class, so it needs to be consider. I read all the required material and still didn't feel prepared with test
PHIL332
He gets off topic a lot. You don't really learn anything in class, he just uses it as a discussion period rather than an actual lecture. He does give guideline notes which are helpful. Participation is a big part of your grade so its tough if your shy. The book is the best way to learn the material, because it's hard to take notes off his "lecture"
