Mr. Orozco is the best. He is soooo funny. And with extra credit, its pretty easy to get an A.
This class is a lot of fun, and the teacher is really cool, down to earth and is very easy to understand.
Great teacher. Do your reading though cause some tests are pretty weird. Do the extra credit and you can have 120% going into the final like i did.
This teacher is HOT! Very helpful and knows how to keep his class entertained. He has very good teaching skills and he's very easy going. He makes you think a lot! His class is a piece of cake!
He's a cool teacher who is easy to talk to. He catches your attention with his legos (everyone who has taken his class knows what I mean)and other props.He knows how to keep the class interesting.I recommend this class for every1 eve if you dont need it.
He is a great teacher when he teachers. His class is really entertaining because he gives the best examples and is really funy, and his exams are pretty challenging. I love this professor.
hes the ideal professor for for the subject, he knows he really has knowledge of what he teaches. very clear, concise and helps any body that needs help
Cool instructor, really digs what he is teaching.
He is a great teacher and his personality is also great. He will make you laugh, or at least smile everyday in class. He is very knowledgeable, and very helpful. He is absolutely Hot too, I would recommend him to anyone.
professor orozco is a very caring teacher and really going out of his way. I'll always be greatful.
bilingual and so funny it is even fun to learn with that guy
really funny guy, but I think he cheated on his wife.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER. VERY EASY AND VERY HELPFUL. HIS TEST ARE EASY AS LONG AS U READ THE CHAPETERS.DOES NOT GIVE A LOT OF HOMEWORK. AND VERY EASY GRADER. HE'S THE BEST, AND REALLY MAKES U UNDERSTAND PHIL.AND VERY FUNNY.
this teacher is tiiite. he'll make you smile at least once during every class. connects with the students. super EASY. hardly any hw.
Very understanding. Easy to talk to. Doesn't have favorites in class.
great teacher easy "A"
One of the best at Southwestern College. Good teacher, with good concepts. Take his class you won't regret it.
I've had him for Phil 101, Phil 103. He is the coolest and hip teacher. He knows "ghetto terms." It's funny when he acts this way because it makes class fun and entertaining. Also, he knows how to make things clear and very helpful. He's cool.
he's a really funny teacher. he always enters the class with starbucks and can't live without it to start the day.his class participation keeps you interested in all his lectures, and he makes you think on another level. easy A class.
okay class. entertaining. he must smoke some good stuff. hard to get a hold of outside of lecture. just read the assignments and look for points of in depth information in his lectures which can sidetrack the class.
yea hes pretty cool. He brings energy to his lectures hes cool. Read the book cuz he will pick on you to come up with the answer and if u dont know it oh damn he might ambarass you and use you as the reason why ppl should read the book. Fun class
Great sense of humor! Lectures are entertaining. 50 mins fly quickly. Miss class, miss question on the test. Great teacher! One of the best of SWC!! I actually understood crazy phil stuff.
Very entertaining because he has a great sense of humor and knows his %$#@. Take logic, youll have fun.
He's a geeeat teacher, he's really funny and tries his best to explain his point. Very easy class!!! He gives out pre- quizzes, their the answers for the real quiz! He's awesome!1
He's a great instructor and can be a great friend also. The way he teaches makes it fun and easy but you should not miss class. He should definetly be your number one choice.
Orozco is a brilliant indivudual. The material he uses is amazing, you will S**t your pants about the issues that will be discussed. He expects hard work and participation. I recommend to be outspoken and not be afraid to have an opinion. Great person to talk to in and out of class. Im just thnkful
his an Easy "A" trust me. Easy going type of teacher. I Always come to class late and still got an "A" he gives you everything you need to know for the exam. If your the type that actually read and take notes in class then this class is for you. Makes class fun. his da 1 your looking 4 trust me!!!!
easy to talk to. made time to anwser my questions in his office. his stories are funny. overall the class is a term paper, another paper from the book, midterm, 1 test, and final. read the book & you'll pass. great teacher go take him
seriously... this class is quite interesting.. really gets you thinking about whats really going on in the world and makes you more open minded about certain issues goin on.. pretty funny guy toO! 1 essay.. passed w/ a B. ha!
reallly awesome teacher. i didnt think philo would be that great but then taking his class really got me super interested. he has the best lectures ever and gets u hooked on every chapter and isnt boring at allll.
he is a cute looking teacher.. very devoted, very kind, funny class..I personally recomend him!!
Easy A/B class. Class is very interesting and teacher is very laidback. Definitely recommend it!
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).
Cool teacher. Really gets you interested in conspiracies. Material from his book makes it easier to understand and when it comes to the test its easy. Love the class because now I could argue with friends and they dont know how to respond. Great class, highly recommended.
VERY FUNNY INSTRUCTOR, KNOWS WHAT HE IS TEACHING, GETS INTO IT,MAKES PHILO. EASY,GREAT TIME,LAIDBACK,EASY GRADE
Cool class.... he's soo easy and nice. Take good notes... you need the book sometimes. But mainly he gives out lectures and you take notes. A paper is due at the beggining of semester, but it;s easy, just guide yourself with the book. He's soo funny and tells jokes in the morning. He always has his Starbuck's Coffee :D
GREAT PHILOSOPHY TEACHER.MAKES PHILOSPHY FUN AND INTERESTING.

altho i had to drop (two hour breaks are killers) His lectures are Uncanny, especially this intro lecture. Easy to watch/listen. Easy to speak up to. Altho expects equivilant quality essays to 116 (but it makes sense).
this teacher was the best, very funny and interesting. highly recommend
Mr. Orozco's one hell of a teacher! I definately recommend him to anyone. There's a little reading to do but his tests and quizzes are easy. His lectures are easy to understand and he covers the material really good. He offers a lot of extra credit assignments also.
No Comments
JUST TAKE HIS CLASS. HIS FUNNY AS HELL. has a couple of tests and 1 or 2 quizes. every class is laugh. his class is comedy. and fun and all. his late sometimes. so thats cool. u can be late too. tight class tot ake. TAKE IT!! haha
Great teacher! Knows how to connect to connect to his students! Very entertaining! Beautiful eyes, smile, and awesome sense of humor!
omg, hes like the best teacher ever!!!!! i love him!!!eventhough i had no interest in taking this class, as soon as i took it it changed my prospective. his class is sooo easy. you have like 2 quizzes and two test and like 2 or 3 essays, but everything is so easy and you actually enjoy the work. he grades easy too. hes the best!!!
yeah his cool and funny and all that stuff, but if you dont write in a way that he likes it he takes alot of points off even in the quizes and tests you have to write out the exact anwers that he gives.It seems easy but its not, I got a "D" and did all the work, the essays, homework, & group projects.
Good Professor
MAJOR HOTNESS FACTOR. extremely funny. READ THE TEXT.
Orozco needs to spend a little more time on philosophy and a little less on his political rampages.
Great teacher and interesting class. Very approachable and knows his subject well. Take him if you can.
Seriously his lectures don't have too much to do with any of the tests. He's pretty interesting but everything is in the reading! Most especially the supplemental readings. I recommend to just start reading before he mentions it. Which won't be till the last month or so.
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. Most off the quiz question are based on the text, so you have to spend sometime reading if you want an A. He guides you on what to study so you don’t was
Orozco is great to take for PHI 101. His tests are based a lot off the text but he provides study guides. He gives some HW but it's easy and only helps you understand the material more. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT - it will bump you up like 10-15%. Definitely take his class - but sign up early because they fill up quick.
HIGHLY RECOMENDED PROFESSOR, HE MAKES THE CLASS FUN AND INTERESTING!! YOU WONT WANT TO MISS A DAY OF CLASS GUARANTEED!
I find Prof. Orozco, awesome..he is clear and helpful..open and is open to others..the outline for his classes are clear, need to read for he does go by his outline, and book, which he wrote...super cool, funny, you want to talk to him..take him and get more insight on...life...
Great teacher. He is funny. Dresses very nicely. ;) Makes the subject intresting to learn. I really enjoyed his class.
always keeps the class smiling!
He rules. He's so funny that he basically is the "Conan O'Brian" or the "Jim Carrey" of Philosophy, hahaha. I don't even know why he didn't become a comedian. I barely read the textbook, but just by going to his lectures, I didn't study much at all for tests. Heck, I just read my notes 20 minutes before the test and I always got an A. He PWNZ!!!
he's a really good professor, people should listen to the things he has to say its incredible.
Mr. Orozco is really cool and funny
Amazing teacher! makes me want to go to class eveyday!makes this class very interesting and fun.
He's very interesting and I loved his lectures. Even if you missed a class, on the next meeting he would give an overview of the material. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
this class was so much fun. he isn't a stickler for attendance but there is a limit. he is really approachable and seems to like getting to know his students. i highly recommend his class.
Great guy. Teaches what you need to know. Interesting subjects and class. Easy tests and easy essays. He looks like a giggolo. You'll like him. Nevertheless, if you are a complete 100% idiot don't take him. Just quit philosophy and stay in the gym.
Professor Orozco is my homie!! I would refer anybody to his class. He keeps your attention from beginning to end of class..
he is a super cool teacher, always joking and makes class very enjoyable. he gives students app. 5 free days to miss throughout the semester, and homework is not usually hard, and he is always willing to chat after class if you need help with something. he is just an awesome teacher, one of my favorites!
He is funny and keeps your interest throughout the class with jokes. he is a great teacher.
He is awesome!. The class is easy and he always makes jokes and stuff like that to make dead boring old guys interesting. In the beginning he is strict about attendance but once he knows you and that your staying in the class he doesnt trip. Overall the class is awesome. Hes a good teacher!!
GREAT PROFESSOR. VERY INTERESTING CLASS. I LEARNED A LOT. I TOOK PHIL 101 AND 103. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS PROFESSOR.
it is very easy and very helpful person
he is so funny.and very easy bay the way
HE IS SUCH A COOL TEACHER. AWESOME. REALLY NICE AND FUNNY. DEFINETELY TAKE HIS CLASS. EASY. READ THE CHAPTERS THOUGH.
he's a great teacher. makes lots of boring subjects interesting! down to earth and talks to his students like they're his friends. learned a lot in this class!
Great Prof. He is passionate about the class and teaches in a way that you can remember. Easy to seek help from and makes you feel comfortable to speak in class. LOVE HIM
This professor is cool. very understanding and chill. He is a pretty relaxed professor and not uptight.
suuper cool teacher. definetely recommended. makes class fun. you will laugh everyday. its not hard if you put a little effort
This professor is really great. He teaches you things that are actually up to date and he really cares about what you will take from his class. He's easy and makes you feel open to talk. He is really funny by the way!He's not hard just have to keep up w assignments.
Very easy to talk to not just because he is cute but he really is patient and he doesn't intimidate you if you seek help from him inside or outside of class. Plus he is so CUTE makes it easy to go to class
I seriously thought I was in a comedy club half of time in class. Orozco does not only have a great sense of humor but is a great teacher at the same time. He makes the subject of Philosophy interesting by applying it to every day life experiences and situations. You'll become so engaged, you'll actually want to study for quizzes and exams. Word.
the best professor i ever had
Believe the hype. This class was such a breath of fresh air. He made the course so interesting I looked forward to coming to class everyday. Studying for the class was easy. You will truly find him one of the best of the best at Southwestern. I think differnt because of him.Crash if you must but you need/want and have to take him!
He is such a good teacher you'll actually want to come to his class everyday plus he is a hottie for his age.
He's an awesome teacher! Really makes the subjects fun and easy to learn! He uses real life experiences to connect it to the learning. I learned a lot in his class and I really recommend him, you HAVE to take him!!
MR.O IS THE SHIZ!!!!HE IS FUNNY AS HELL AND KEEPS THE CLASS VERY INTERESTING! MY FAVORITE CLASS ALL SEMESTER!
Funny as hell, the kind of teacher you can just go to when you need anything. The discussions in his class were amazing. People really get into it as much as he does. Even though I epicly failed the class, I still really enjoyed this professor. Highly recommended.
Mr. Orozco is one of the most interesting entertaining teachers Ive had at southwestern and I have been here for 3 years. I definitely recommend his class you'l never forget his class
He's awesome, take him! he'll talk about what ever necesary to keep you interested. easy A!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I don't think I yawned once in his class. He keeps you interested because he doesn't just lecture, he TEACHES. He's very friendly and also very funny. Mr. Orozco is the real deal.
He is a great teacher. He mainly lectures but it's more like a discussion and he is super funny! The subject itself is boring but because he creates class discussions it's hard to forget the material.
He mainly does class discussions but he's so funny. Which is perfect for this class cause the subject itself is quite boring. I recommend him for everybody
Mr. Orozco has to be my favorite teacher EVER. I have taken classes all over SD, in one of the best schools and Orozco doesn't compare! You will have SO much fun and will actually LEARN! After having boring classes this is a class you are excited to come to! You will have your LAUGH of the day with Prof Orozco. Highly recommended, easy A!
He is such a fun professor. You'll never get bored. And you'll learn a lot from him. You'll feel comfortable and at ease in class.
Awesome i love him high recommend one of his classes you will never get bored. Easy A
Orozco, you need to TAKE HIM!! The best teacher I've had by far! Even though the class was very early, he made it fun and understandable. He has different methods of teaching.
AWESOME TEACHER! THIS IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD SO FAR! HE IS VERY UNDERSTANDABLE. HE MAKES THE CLASS SUPER INTERESTING AND HE IS SUPER FUN...HE MAKES YOU WONDER ABOUT THINGS YOU NEVER DID BEFORE! YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM-HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Orozco is not only an extraordinary professor but a truly good person who you can learn a lot from. His classes are all very interesting. Coming from someone who was not interested in philosophy, Orozco made class enjoyable. The work in this class is very user friendly. It is not meant for you to struggle, but for you to LEARN what you study.
GREAT man as well as professor. Makes you fell right at home which is important if you wanna learn to your fullest potential. He seems like he enjoys his job allot as well as the students which is important. Mr. Orozco makes sure you understand the subject and offers all the help one could ask for. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Orozco genuinely cares about his students. His class is very "user friendly" as he describes. The syllabus has all the topics for each quiz and the final, as well as the essay questions. He's letting us use notes this semester too. There's 10 assignments, 3 quizzes, and a final. Overall, a great class. I look forward to it every day.
Nothing much to add about Mr. Orozco, excellent professor, really interesting classes, totally recommend!!!
So basically he is a good teacher if he likes you. If not he will probably try to embarrass you in front of class, even if it wasn't his intention. Good teacher knows a lot, but he seems cool, nice and not strict about grades. bUT when it comes to grading he is really hard don't get lazy just because he is a funny teacher. Got a B a lot of e.credit
cool teacher, cool class. very helpful definitely recommend it.
I came out of this class knowing that I knew nothing xD lol If you are not into philosophy do your research before coming into class because you will be answering questions every day. Definitely the class that I've learned the most from, Overall great class excellent professor. You think I'm Lying to you? &@%! NO lol
GREAT PROFESSOR, ALWAYS FULL OF ENERGY AND CLASS IS VERY INTERACTIVE IN A GOOD WAY, EVEN IF YOUR SHY PERSON. MAKES MATERIAL EASY TO LEARN, WOULD OF GOT AN "A" IF I WOULD OF ATTENDED EVERYDAY. ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS ON SWC CAMPUS, YOU WILL SEE THE QUALITY OF HIS TEACHINGS AND LEAVE HIS CLASS WITH MATERIAL ACTUALLY LEARNED, I KID YOU NOT.
Easy A, and HILARIOUS professor! I was always looking forward to coming to this class! He's interesting as long as he's not talking about current issues lol. The assignments were cake, and the tests were fairly easy. He said there'd be no extra credit but I got 29 points worth ;) TAKE THIS CLASS!
Professor Orozco kills it, he brings a spice to philosphy by talking about current relevant issues. An eyeopening class, sign up if you are up to learning stuff that will make you smarter.
Orozco is so sick, i recommend him if your trying to avoid english 116. very straight forward and great lecturer. Like he says likes to put the "Salsa" on the taco
Wow! I have to say this class was by far the BEST I've taken my whole time being at SWC. The professor is incredible...(in my opinion the best in swc) he is so funny and makes it super easy to understand Philosophy. Take him take him! If you don't...you're crazy! He's also very attractive :) just saying...
One of the best professors on campus. Really nice and funny , by far my favorite classes both philosophy and logic , totally recommend this teacher to all my friends
Great teacher who knew how to keep the material easy and approachable. Reading the book helps a lot on the tests and he also gives you guidelines on how to study. He also gives out extra credit. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to take a philosophy class. GOOD STUFF, PROFESSOR OROZCO!
Omg best professor I ever had at SWC . Super funny , smart , and attractive :) Really knows what he's talking about . You'll NEVER get bored in his class , especially with all the jokes and off topic/side discussions . If you don't take him , biggest regret ever ! Did I mention he's attractive ?
Best class ever!!! he is really funny! best professor in SWC
I wish Mr. Orozco had more taught more classes at southwestern college! He is an amazing human being! not only he is amazing in teaching but also understanding students. He takes the time to get to know them and actually cares to help you develop critical thinking skills. BEST PROFESSOR in SWC. study for the exams, do extra credit
Best/funniest teacher EVER even if you're not interested in philosophy the way he teaches it will make you interested
One of the best professors I've ever had. Great class and really cool dude. Treats you like a person and made philosophy accessible and interesting. Highly recommended.
@HONEST ASSESSMENT@ Dumbs class down into bite-sized easily digestible concepts coupled with anecdotal reinforcement. May not learn as much as a more serious philosophy class but you will remember every word he says because the class is fun and lively. Through personal interactions you can tell he genuinely cares for students. A+ professor.
Would not take his class. He is a cool teacher, but won't really listen to any advise and surely won't change the way he thinks. Easy class if you just agree on everything he says
this guy was funny and kept it interesting. which is hard when its a logic & critical thinking class. assignments easy, quizes/exams mc and short answer. really teaches you how to break apart an argument. good class, GREAT professor, take him at night and he's extra funny because he feels free to speak w/ "adult" words :) TAKE HIM
He is a really cool guy and gives great, funny lectures that keep your attention. Understands how to speak to the younger generation, uses some slang, and swear words to keep people interested in what he's saying. He breaks down complex ideas to make them easily understandable. His tests are easy and he gives plenty of EC to help student's grades.
If you need philosophy, take it with him! He is hilarious! The class is super easy. Do all the homework to get easy points. Study for tests, although they are pretty simple. Fun lectures. Do the extra credit! Easy points. I missed an exam and I still got an A in the class. Loved it.
Prof. Orozco is sooo funny, so his lectures are very entertaining. If you don't like hearing F-bombs this isnt the class for you haha. All the questions on the exam are questions you answered for the homework. A really fun and interesting class (:
By far the best teacher I've ever. He's funny, nice, and very organized. He makes the material easy to understand & keeps you engaged. Do the homework, take notes, & pay attention and it's an easy A. LOVED that class!
Orozco is a very knowledgeable and informative professor in addition to be really engaging which makes his lectures very interesting. He really makes an effort to be organized and clear with assignments and essays as well as having a great sense of humor. Overall i'm very happy with my grade and with taking the class. Definitely recommend!
One of my favorite teachers ever. His lectures never get boring and he makes the lessons easy and fun to learn. I recommend taking this class with him.
I took this course over summer, I was so glad I did. He made class very enjoyable. I did not mind wasting my summer with this course. Not only did he know how to entertain us, but he did it in a way that helped keep material memorable. He did not give "busy work," his test were easy if you study and complete the study guides. Take HIM! I got an A+
TRULY A REMARKABLE INDIVIDUAL, AND AN EVEN BETTER PROFESSORS, HE IS BY FAR THE BEST INSTRUCTOR SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE HAVE; WHEN CONCERNING THE TOPIC OF PHILOSOPHY. HIS LECTURES AND PRESENTATION WERE ENERGIZING. HE IS APPROACHABLE AND ENCOURAGE SUCESS. HOWEVER YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT INTO THE CLASS, YOU MAKE THE EFFORT IT WILL SHOW THROUGH YOUR WORK!!
He is an angel :)
Such a fun teacher. He is really clear when it comes to lecture and he is just one the best teacher around. I totally recommend for anyone to take his class
best professor you'll ever encounter. Lectures are organized and clear, everything he says helps on the tests. Cares so much about his students, its incredible, he really tries to connect with everyone on a personal level. You'll learn a ton, passing the class is easy if you just try. I don't ever miss class because i love his lecture so much
Amazing professor! Very hilarious and interesting. Lectures are never boring! The stories he tells to tie in with his teachings are very entertaining. Spontaneous dude, I love him so much! Cusses and uses the F bomb a lot, but it helps keep the class awake! By far the BEST professor I have had at Southwestern!
Professor Orozco is amazing. He is very knowledgable about his subject and makes his lectures as easy as possible for students to understand. He is super clear and makes his lectures super hilarious. You'll never be bored. Home works are easy, you know exactly what will be on your tests. Id recommend this teacher to anyone!
Best teacher ever wish all of mine were like him. Lectures are on point everyday adds his own style to his teaching which he calls his Orozco Philosophy which makes everything clear. Can't fall behind in his class he gives all his assisgnments, tests and due dates in his syllabus and all the answers are in the book. No excuse not to get an A.
He's so funny and keeps the lectures very interesting the whole 50 minutes! The homework is very easy and he isn't a harsh grader! If you do hw it's an easy A on the tests. I would take him again no doubt!
Orozco is hands down one of the best professors I've had. He has a real passion for what he teaches and gives such interesting lectures. There is homework and tests can be a little hard, but definitely made this way to truly educate you.
His lectures are entertaining, he will present interesting perspectives on everyday life. His syllabus includes every possible test question for the four quizzes you will take. He does not spoon feed you the answers. You have to find them yourself. He will answer those questions if you ask in class. REALLY fun class.
This is not just your ordinary logic class. If you wanna stay woke and take this class for credit at the same time, then I definitely recommend taking Orozco. This guy knows and is passionate about what he teaches. You'll learn more than just detecting fallacies and creating syllogisms.
This is the most interesting philosophy class you could take. Orozco is very passionate about his work and makes it fun at the same time. The tests are a little difficult if you don't study but all in all its an easy A if you study and put effort in the class. Yes he does take attendance.
Gets off topic in class at times. Good at associating with real life situations. Tests are tough because it is based off the homework and we never really go over the homework in class. Always 3 essays on the exams as well.
Awesome teacher, the textbook is required. The teacher wrote the textbook himself and the lecture is based on that book mostly. Clear instructions, very easy to pass if you pay attention and turn in assignments when they are due. be ready to do a few 2 page reports here and there. nothing hard, mostly writing about stuff in the news.
the best professor i ever had at this school. Very lenient when it comes to HW. Uses profanity in class so if you get offended easily, don't take him.
the best professor i ever had, i got an A, his lessons are easy to understand and funny,but you have to read or pay attention to his class, extra credit is easy to do and is better to do it, exams are not to high on points but it affects your grade if you dont study or do homeworks, which btw are the most points in your grade so do it! the BEST
Get ready to write like nobody's business. If you're expecting to take a PHIL 103 class where you take about philosophy and controversial issues, you're in for a surprise, and in the wrong place. You will probably write more in this class than your Eng 114 & 115 combined. Very tough grader. He is an awesome person full of life, just very tough.
Professor Orozco blew my mind every single lecture! Seriously, if you don't like philosophy or "think" you don't like it, take HIM! I mean, it is college; there are three tests which are not hard if you do study for them obviously! If you skip class, you will fall behind. Homework is super easy and no big projects! Thank you Professor Orozco!
Prof Orozco is cool and means well, may sometimes be blunt but don't worry abut it. He cares about his students. Grades: Easy A on HW Extra credit Tests are simple, its multiple choice and at the very end is 3 ESSAY QUESTIONS. He gives you the essay questions in the syllabus, and it is your fault if you cannot write 10 sentences per question.
The way he teaches made me hate my major. He gives 5 min of actual lecture and then 40 min of an irrelevant story to "help us understand." He cusses so much. More of a professor for first time college students with his obnoxious attitude he gives.
Take him! hes hilarious, easy going, and funny. the work isnt that hard, i would love to take him again. you wont regret it
Orozco has very funny lectures, usually uses a youtube video or visual data to help students learn. He is very straightforward with what you need to learn, what will be on the test, and what/when the assignments are due. He also isn't too strict when it comes to lates and attendance if you have a good grade and usually show up to class.
Love prof Orozco! Super fun, keeps it real and really wants you to pass. Extra credit opportunities. I had a D two weeks before the final, did extra credit and studied for the final and ended the semester with a B in the class. This guy rocks!
Orozco is an amazing professor. His lectures will command your attention, but more importantly, he teaches you how to think thoroughly and critically. He also brings up difficult/sensitive subject matter to discuss, which can be hard, but necessary to constructive thought. He is excellent, you won't regret the experience. Tests are a little tough.
He is a great professor. His lectures are so interesting, and he makes the information so easy to understand. He has a great way of teaching students, and has the whole class really engaged. His exams are really simple and easy. Homework is not hard at all. Everything is clear and he even offered extra credit. Definitely take his class!
Best professor I've had! His lectures are interesting, and he has the whole class engaged. He's very reasonable when it comes to grading. He's hilarious and he makes sure you leave class with something to think about. I wish I had more Philosophy requirements for my major so that I could take him again. HIGHLY recommend him! Take his class!
Mr. Orozco is one of my favorite teachers at southwestern. His lectures are so interesting, he says a lot of bad words during lectures but hey, were all adults. You basically get 3 quizzes with 30 questions and 3 essay prompts on each quiz, but hes not grading your essay for spelling/structure, just that you answer the prompt questions.
One of the greatest professor's I have had. He keeps lectures fun and never dull. 3 quizzes which are very easy if you take notes and read the book. Must be organized and keep all homework because he will collect it at the end of the semester to grade. Actually makes you interested in philosophy and leaving class knowing something new.
This dude is hilarious. He made me think alot about life and made every class very interesting. Be sure to keep all of your homework because at the end of the semester he grades it all. Highly recommend if you need a GE class or if your major is Philosophy!
Such a good professor!!! In the beginning he is amazing and thorough, by the end you could tell he was worn down. Obviously most students didn't have an issue with this as they were worn down as well but I was ready to learn still lol. Overall amazing! Do your homework and pay attention in class and you'll pass.
Amazing professor
Orozco is a very good professor to have for Philosophy. Your grade is based on 3 exams 12 homeworks and 2 small projects. The class goes by fast and his lectures usually has a funny story he tells like the one about his friend Shrek. I highly recommend Orozco for philosophy and if you speak spanish it is a plus.
Orozco is a very good professor for Ethics. your grade is based on 12 homeworks 2 test and a project. The lectures are really good and makes them really clear plus he sometimes adds a funny story in it. If you do all the homework and study you will be fine and the homework is very straight forward. I highly recommend,
Professor Orozco is great, he makes his lectures funny& interesting. The only problem is that if you are a philosophy major he is not the right professor. The book is kind of hard to understand so you really need him to explain it with details in order to get the philosophers argument & with him you can get that because he waste a lot of time.
He makes every class interesting and very understanding professor in case you have any emergencies or couldnt attend class for any reason.
Honestly if it weren't for him being so patient and passionate about the subject, I would've dropped the class because philosophy itself is just not my thing but he made it bearable, interesting even. He's funny and a great teacher!
lectures are very interesting, you'd never find yourself so interested in Philosophy without this professor. do the homework assigned and you'll pass the tests, but you do need to buy/rent the book. the final only covers the last unit so you dont have to worry about everything you might forget. must take with Orozco for the GE requirement!!
One of my favorite professors!! He's honestly so funny and his lectures are super interesting. Also a really easy class. I would hands down take him again if I could!
Orozco is a gem at SWC! His lectures are interactive, informative, and at times hilarious. Our entire class was motivated by Orozcos passion and personable approach with his students. Transferring to SDSU after 2 years at SWC; this class felt like the real college experience! Ill miss you Orozco! Youll be lucky to take his class!
This dude is all over the place. Kind of teaches the material but doesn't go deeper into the topics. I signed up for this class wanting to explore philosophy but what I got was more like listening to a drunk friend talk about philosophy. He had a way of REALLY dumbing things down. Missed a total of 7 lectures and still got an A.
Granted it's been said he doesn't go deep into the material you've gotta realize you're at a community college receiving introductory classes. Dude is great and loves his job, you can totally tell. He's a little scattered, but chill nevertheless. One of the most insightful and well educated people I know.
Professor Orozco is super hilarious. Throughout this semester, his class was the only one that I was mostly looking forward to attending. He should have been a stand-up comedian. His lectures are super funny and entertaining. Apart from that, you learn so much. The class has 3 quizzes. The 3rd is the final. Homework for every lecture. Take it!
This whole semester was a rollercoaster with him. Super tough grader when it comes to papers. Personally, I couldn't stand his snarky and sarcastic personality. I honestly hate his personality. You definitely need to be on top of stuff. Would never take this guy ever again.
Prof Orozco is all over the place when teaching. He grades super rough, assignments that shouldve been easy points are things that end up hurting you in the long run. He was pretty unapproachable, hed always give you that look. Judging by otter reviews I thought I would like this class and that itd be easy, but man was I wrong
Oh man Mr. Orozco is an awesome teacher makes his class enjoyable is passionate about what hes teaching and puts it in a way that relates to our generation. He is cool but you have to do his assignments and read so when the test comes you will get a good grade. If you take him you wont regret it he is AWESOME!!!!!
one of the best teachers I've had!
This prof is awesome at teaching philosophy. Its not my choice in subject personally, but I retained so much information because of his style of teaching. He is extremely entertaining and uses interesting stories to teach. Dont hesitate to take his class!
Hes hilarious, never a dull class. 3 quizzes, 13 hws and 2 easy projects, as long as you do your work and study you will recieve an easy A. His tests are solely based on lectures and homework assignments so make sure you do them. he will make sure you understand the criteria. he is laid back , just pay attention! Take him, the semester will fly by!
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!
I loved Prof. Orozco and Im sad that classes had to be switched online. Youll really enjoy what he has to say and its always a good conversation in the class. 100% would take again.
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
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...
Such an amazing professor! I took his philosophy 101 class and loved it. He made his lectures very interesting and had a very laid back attitude. He made me love philosophy. I definitely recommend you take is class.
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!
very straight forward class!
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.
Amazing professor. The course is easy and straight forward, just watch the lectures because that's where the quiz answers are.
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
He's a tough grader. He'll give you low points because you don't answer the questions his way. I don't know why he's so hard on grading
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.
I took his class online and I recommend it, i would loved to took it in person he is really funny, teaches with patient and it shows that he actually enjoys it. He is one of the best professor's i had ,he does the lectures very understandable, doesn't leave homework only need to do notes for the quizzes. Only a few readings and not long.
Professor Orozco's PHIL101 class is manageable and straightforward. He provides great analogies to understand confusing philosophers, and the quizzes are simple since he gives the questions and answers. I found Unstuckstudy AI and the provided lectures very helpful for studying.
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.
