Tufts University: Jeff McConnell - Philosophy - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccess
Jeff McConnell | PHIL001 - Introduction to Philosophy| Philosophy2005-02-28

Review:
Prof. McConnell is obviously very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the course. The material covered is interesting, although occasionally repetitive. Unfortunately, Prof. McConnell is not very tolerant of views other than his own. He often tries to simplify things into "yes" or "no" answers while many different interpretations of the question may apply.

Workload:
Reading assignments were not too difficult, and were always discussed in class. There were a total of four papers and a take-home final in the class. The papers were a little difficult because if you do not use the professor's viewpoint, you were usually penalized. They were almost never turned back on time, which became frustrating, but re-writes were encouraged if the student got a B- or less.
