I can tell you that he is a very genuine and nice man! I think his reviews are not accurate. Carriero is a great professor and he definitely explains dense material very well. It is hard to explain dense material, but he does it in a good job! Please take Carriero and you will most likely love it! He gives one midterm (paper), quizzes and an in class final. He is very generous with study guides. TAKE HIM!

His lectures are always organized, and he has very interesting interpretations about Descartes that you can't get anywhere else. But, if you're really not into Descartes don't take this course...the entire quarter worked through the meditations (and a little bit of the objections/replies) A few criticisms I have for him - (1) spends way too much time being a nice guy and answering completely irrelevant student questions (2) has an in-class final in which you have to write 4 essays... I don't understand what it's in class, it would've made everyone's life a little easier if we could've just typed it up. Tip: don't take this course if you plan to ditch a lot. he gives a lot of interpretations you would never get on your own from reading the text (or via the internet), and many of the questions of the final exam ask you to explicate these interpretations. So, if you didn't go to class you're screwed.
