"I like his style; he's a great orator," says Luis A.P. Gonzalez, Jr.'01, a student in "Justice."
But Sandel emphasizes the courses' curriculum rather than his own skills as a teacher. The subject matter, he says, is what makes "Justice" popular.
"Students find it exhilarating to be provoked and inspired into examining their own moral and political convictions with the help of the great philosophers," he said.
Both Sandel and Kishlansky plan their teaching for maximum effect.
"I plan my teaching very carefully," Kishlansky said.
But organization is not required for high marks. Stanley Lieberson, Lowell professor of sociology, said "evaluations criticize me for being disorganized; I'm sure it's true."
