Spring 2016 - phil 22 review He sucks and acts like he's too good for questions. I didn't have a good time with asking questions cuz he's so damn unapproachable. Really? Get a grip, and get a reality check cuz you may be smart as a writer and a researcher but you're a shit teacher if you ignore the students who want to get to know you. If you set aside office hours, use them, instead of sitting there and just typing away. There's a reason why students stopped going to you after week 3. but the class is easy. Just don't slack on the worksheets like I did.

Spring 2017 - Professor Cummings is not a very good lecturer in class. However, i found him very helpful during office hours. I think he will be most helpful if you already have some idea of the material and want some elaboration. Hoeverer if you go to him Conpletely clueless, his explanation might be a bit confusing. All in all, I think he's a good professor and a nice guy. He's also quite a lenient grader. However, be ready to do a lot of self study if you take his class.
