Ok teacher. Too into conspiracy theories. For the final paper you can basically just resubmit your old argumentative research paper from Eng 115 (a lot of people did that and got A's). Takes things personally, but doesn't let you know it in obvious ways, so don't insult him (although he says to feel free to "bash" him).

I would recommend Orozco; his lectures are sometimes out of the text, but that’s just to make you understand the concepts better. Has a great sense of humor and will answer any questions you have.

Professor Orozcos hilarious personality is only match by his genuine passion for teaching. He is simply a very fun, approachable and smart individual who wants to see his students succeed in his class. I highly recommend him.

Not the nicest man and easily characterized as childish. Lacks logical reasoning and ethical behavior as a professor. Needs to take it down a notch on the egotistical mannerisms. Has been at swc a long time, which should speak for his lack of ability to teach well anyway.

You can tell professor Orozco really enjoys his job. I had a 7:30am class and he always came in awake and ready to go. One of the best professors at this school. Please take his philosophy class you will not regret it!

He is all over the place and sometimes he just rants. No structure in the class and the way he teaches. We spent over 3 weeks going over 1 assignment! He is approachable and is willing to help. I can't say I've learned a lot in his class. he falls behind on his lectures and assignments and rushes everything at the end.

Professor Orozco is definitely one of the BEST Philosophy professors ever. You can tell he really loves what he does and honestly understands his students. He won't make you sit for the whole class time to just listen to his lecture and will let you out early sometimes. As long as you do the homework, you should be fine. I highly recommend Orozco!

He's my favorite philosophy professor!! I've taken 2 other philosophy classes and his was the most memorable for me. Too bad we had to switch online; it's not his strong suit. You'll get more out of his classes in person, but he's still an easy A. There's homework, 2 midterms I believe, and then a final project

Lots of homework

This was a remote class that was taught solely off pre-recorded lectures. Professor Orozco was not accessible out of class and doesn't email back. 3 discussion boards, weekly readings and videos to watch. Textbook is awful and he tests you on the authors opinions of philosophers which makes 0 sense. Our class met on zoom only twice...

I found his lectures interesting and he gives pretty good feedback! There was only a couple Discussion boards and quizzes but everything could be found in the textbooks and/or the given lectures. Rewording what you read will only get you so far in discussions, so don't be afraid to give your take on things!

Professor Alejandro was hands down one of the best professors Ive ever had!! Although he can be a bit all over the place from time to time the criteria is very easy to follow. Great lectures in my opinion he does talk a lot but they are very intriguing and insightful. Highly recommend taking any of his classes if given the chance!!

Late post - I took him about 14 years ago and I still remember his class, things I learned, and how funny he is. He planted a lot of seeds and I'm a law student now.

took the 2-month class, and it was still manageable. He gives you the questions to the quiz and provides lectures that answer them. His lessons provide great analogies for confusing philosophers. Your grade is based on the quizzes but should be simple because he gives the questions and answers. I never felt stressed, even if it was a short class

Prof. O is pretty cool. I took him during summer 23 and the class can get hard if you do not read the books or fall behind. However, If you do read and stay in line with the class it will be very easy. There is A LOT of extra credit that can change your grade from 1 letter to another so make sure to do all of the extra credit.

I took this class in 9th grade and I really enjoyed it. It was a 2 month course that consisted of a TON of reading and multiple lectures that you have to watch but he helped lighten the load by giving you the exact questions for the test ahead of time. I also liked that he was accessible outside of class and willing to help.

El Profe does a great job with breaking down a daunting and dry class into simple, entertaining lectures to work through. His quizzes were firm but fair, you won't be able to BS or GPT your way through it but he gives detailed and thorough feedback, moreso than any other professor I have had... He writes paragraphs of USEFUL feedback when grading.
