Comments
| Overall: A | | Peter
Railton is a strange person who generally has contempt for
students. When teaching, he uses good analogies to illustrate his
subject matter, his lectures are generally coherent, but he is
against students participating in class. His subject matter is difficult
to understand and he makes it known that asking questions
garners his disapproval. He engages in the same kinds of
behavior outside class. He speaks with students who initiate conversation,
but one can sense his reluctance and he is generally
condescending. Students describe his behavior as “odd” and “disconcerting.” He
is self-absorbed and carries himself with a uniform noble quality
coupled with sardonic disdain. Students also feel that visiting him
during his office hours bothers him and those who do
find their grades are not commensurate with their skill level
and effort. | | | Student Competency: Average

| This
is a HORRIBLE class. I thought that I loved philosophy...then
I had Railton. He is impossible to learn from and
speaks in monotone. I fall asleep everytime I go to
class, and I am in the Honors College!!! Never take
a class taught by him. | | |
