Reviews for Glenn A. Rahmoeller
Average Rating:| jnt14 Course: BIOE150 Grade Expected: A- December 27, 2011, 7:46 am | I really enjoyed this class. It was very easy but still informative and enjoyable. You have to write a paper every week- most are 1-2 pages and a few are 5-6 pages, but they are fairly simple papers to write. You also have an "individual paper" which is just a research paper, and a presentation for that paper. There is also a final paper which basically describes your overall experience in the class. I did very well on the papers and presentation throughout the semester, but ended up getting a C on my final paper because it did not go in-depth enough for Rahmoeller, but I still got an A- in the class. You do a lot of case studies in class which I thought were very interesting. He likes it if you participate a lot, which I found easy because you just have to state your opinion on what's being said. I recommend this class. |
| Anonymous Course: HONR288L Grade Expected: A- November 17, 2010, 11:46 am | I thought this class would be really interesting and relate alot to my interests as a pre-med, but I find it extremely boring. Its al about ethics and really concerns analyzing what should have been done in different case studies. There is a 1-2 page paper (or a 3-4 page paper) due every week, a group project consisting of a presentation and 15pg paper, and a final 15 page paper. This class is somewhat easy but I wouldn't take it again based on how lacking the discussion was. |
| terp315 Course: HONR288L Grade Expected: A July 30, 2010, 6:53 am | Not a bad seminar at all. Can be boring at times, but some topics did stimulate a good amount of discussion. No exams, 1-2 page papers due every week, and he's an easy grader. If you're looking for an easy A in an honors seminar, take this class. |
| BIOE Course: BIOE150 Grade Expected: A April 8, 2010, 8:36 am | Looking for an A in a SB course? You have chosen the correct class and professor! This class is very boring...discussions are pretty dry because the professor doesn't lighten things up...but anyways its an easy course as you don't have any exams...just do the weekly papers and the major paper and final you should be JUST FINE! |
| eyl Course: HONR288L Grade Expected: A January 17, 2010, 3:29 pm | When I took this class, there was a paper every week (usually 1-2 pages double-spaced, occasionally a bit longer but still double-spaced). He may take a point or two off if you confuse some deontological ideal with utilitarian, but I never thought his grading was "nitpicky" since every one of my papers hardly had marks on them, leading me to believe he simply skimmed papers for understanding of major ideas. Analysis of issues are always done from both deontological and utilitarian perspectives. Discussions can be thought-provoking but almost always lifeless. |
| pinklacepajamas Course: HONR288L Grade Expected: A- October 21, 2007, 11:42 am | Ethics is, by its very nature, a subjective course. This course is based on case studies mostly drawn out of Rahmoeller's own experience. There are weekly questions to answer, and every two weeks, there is a short paper to write. However, his grading of the papers is nitpicky and narrow-minded. When you write papers giving your opinion about something, make sure that your opinion is his opinion and that you completely beat every single point you make into the ground by dumping every little detail about that point into your paper. That's the kind of writing he likes. Discussions in class can be interesting, but there were more awkward silences than there were stimulating debates. Overall, the material can be interesting, but he has too much of a personal investment in the case studies to make for an unbiased teacher. |
