...never took any classes from Rachels, but I know who he is. The majority of my classes were taken with Mary Wahl, who was probably the coolest professor I ever had. I skipped roughly 75% of all my classes at UAB (I am astoundingly lazy unless it involves watching football or playing PS2 football) and she called me out for missing two straight weeks that was the entire period of time between the first test of the quarter and the second during a review session in which I didn't bother to ask any questions (I think her exact words were "And Todd, why don't you feel like asking any questions about what the test will cover since you skipped EVERY SINGLE CLASS THAT YOU'LL BE TESTED ON AND YOU ARE NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN?!" to which I replied "I make no promises..."). I actually made an A on the test and she was so pissed, but after that (I'm pretty sure that was the second class I took with her, and only the first upper level one so she would actually know who I was instead of a face amongst a sea of hundreds crammed into a lecture hall for PH115: Intro to Ethics) we got along great and she let me pretty well come and go as I pleased so long as I did the readings and wrote good papers. I took several political and legal theory classes from a Professor Arnold (Scott was his first name maybe?) that were all boring as hell, and a Dr. Graham (why can't I remember people's names anymore?) that was the head of the department when I was there. I took one class from him (philosophy of religion) that I was able to do well in, and then took another (don't remember what it was now, but it was something to do with epistemology) but had to drop it because it was WAY over my head. I was only one of three undergrads in the class and he was clearly aiming it at the graduate students so even though we didn't have to do all the extra work they did, what we did have to do was just beyond me. I was great at social and political theory (I actually took enough dual credit philosophy/polisci classes that if I had taken a required political science class that I had no interest in whatsoever I would have had a third major in political science. Kind of wish I had now...), but he was getting a little to Kantian for me in that class and I knew I would wind up failing so I dropped it for some bullshit english class for the easy A and the hours.
