Review #1 / Course: PHIL 2020 / Instructor: SPENCE J
Spence is mad at the world. He doesn't grade fairly and never lets you know what he expects on an assingment. Tests were rediculously long and tricky. He once bragged that there were only 2 or 3 A's out of his students.

Dr. Spence can seem a bit standoffish in class, but that's because he's forcing you to make a sound argument for your position. Don't take this class if you don't like having to cogently back up your views.

Whatever you say is going to be wrong in his class, and when you try to argue back against him he just says he's not arguing his opinion.

If you get your feelings hurt easily do not take Spence. He is very rude, and always tries to prove you wrong in discussions.

Review #11 / Course: PHIL 1000 / Instructor: SPENCE J
Spence was VERY unclear on how he graded and totalled your grade. I expected a B easily- not a good prof. Made everyone feel stupid in discussion
