go to class!! make sure you do all your essays and TALK IN CLASS!!! He'll give extra credit and recognize you so he'll give u extra credit... exam is hard but it didnt count much toward my grade

Good professor, just pay attention and do the reading. Talk in class and get him to notice you, he'll love you the rest of the semester. Pretty udnerstanding guy if you just go to his office and talk to him.

Very weird class and you talk about the weirdest topics. Try to get someone to share a book with because you dont need it that often and go to the class and if you dont make sure you know someone that does. Do your exams and FOLLOW the directions!!!!!!!!!

I had this dude 4 years ago, so maybe his style changed, but all I had to do was show up, listen, and i'd ace the tests...they were basically common sense. We had some debates as a class. What's with the sandals, though?

He's very knowledgeable about the subject matter and is pretty good at teaching it. You don't have to show up, but you must take his assignments seriously. Very sarcastic, too, but he's a decent guy.

He seems like a nice guy. Knows his stuff. His on line exams are very easy. Read the book because it will help you.

nice guy

I recommend taking professor Herrera if you are going to take Philosophy. We had online exams throughout the year based on class discussions. At the end we had a final which was also based on class discussions. We only class 1 day a week.

I'm taking Dr. Herrera's Honors Ways of Knowing class now (bioethics). It's not difficult, but his grading system makes it hard. He assigns a few # of points to each assignment (5 pts total), such that you either get a 4 or a 5, either an A+ or a B- & nothing in between. The topics are fun though...

Chris is a real understanding guy, his classes are extremely interesting and if you keep in contact with him through email and show him you are interested in the class he will grade you fairly. Be sure to always check the online assignment!

Mr Herrera is one of the best teachers i've had. He makes you get involved yourself and never just writes stuff on the board to memorize. I came to this class sure i would hate philosophy, but i may become a minor now. Work hard and you will really learn. Also, Mr. Herrera has funny stories.

Class is almost over and I am kind a sad to see it end. For a freshman level class this class has made me think of so many things. Some topics are dry, but Dr Herrera makes them interesting. I graduate this spring!!! and will remember this class. Assignments were reasonable, but you realy need a PC.

few 3ques exams, online exams, and final. doesnt require much. attendance not required but he puts ques on the exam that is based on the videos he shows and things he talks about in class

Great teacher. Open and accessable, but demands lots of work. Famous question: WHY? Demands a reason for you opinion. Made me think. Great class.

smart and interesting guy. Attendance is not required, hoewver his tests are a pure reflection of what he talks in class so if you sont go you will most likely fail.

Really pushes you to learn. One of the best teachers I've had. Mr Herrera sometimes focuses too much on the students who are lost and that can get boring. But he is really understanding. I started really behind myself and he took the time to explain everything. Grt class if you work!

Chris seems kinda shy at first but if you talk to him and do the readings he becomes very understanding. He helped me a lot with family issues I was going thru too, and he didn't have to do that. Attendance isn't required, altho the tests come from the lectures so you should go. Good overall class

Not a bad class..no one really seemed to like it but i thought it was interesting..he's kinda monotone & soft spoken..do the online tests & go to class to get lecture notes to do well on tests..attendance not required but needed..some kids dropped out b/c of an essay on atheism..be prepared to think

At first he comes off a little strange, he walks in the room and looks like hes fighting a smile puts his hand up and says hi. N e way, you will be surprised by what you get in his class i missed 2 quizzes and 2 online exams, but i did the final some other quizzes and the 10 pg. paper and got a B-.

I had Prof Herrerra last sem and I'm a freshman. His classes were at first really boring at first until I got used to them. You have to really pay attention in class and read a bit to pass the tests. He gives out a lot of online tests. I ended up getting an A+ in that class. Just listen in clas

very boring guy, have 2 watch boring movies bout twilight zone, go to class, tests based on lectures not book, no tests, only gave 1 midterm and 1 final,don't take attendance, have 2 sit close cuz he mumbles alot

Chris is a good guy.. besides the fact that you "meet online" a lot therefore canceling class for the day, you get to watch The Simpsons and The Twilight Zone for half an hour and he lets you go...There's nothing hard about this class. He is approachable and loves feedback from students. take him!

This guy is the man! For the idiots who don't undertand where he gets his text material from - show up to class once in awhile -it'll get clearer. He'll rarely keep the class the full time anyway. You'll watch a movie, he'll lecture, you'll leave happy ...he's the man

EASY EASY EASY! no attendance, boring lectures, and you can miss the tests. as many extra credit points as you want, just gotta do some work.

this guy is not a bad teacher as far as to say that he doesn't comprehend the material. his classes are basically showing up and listening to a lecture where all you have to do is take notes, and then a twilight zone or two. tests are easy if you've taken those notes and no homework. he's a nice guy and helps you out if you e-mail him.

This dude is booooring! It's an easy class, but made me feel like I was wasting my money.. Everything was self taught because his lectures are unbearable... thanks god he didn't take attendance! (i thought the comment about never taking a class at msu again because of hererra was really funny!- i dont blame you!)

easy teacher... 3 exams.. 2 - 20 points each.. the last one is worht 5 points... 31/45 = A... which isn't that hard to get... uses out of book a lot, but listen to his lectures or you'll be lost... never takes attendance but should go to classes or get lost... very helpful if you ask for help

Nice guy, but horribly boring during lectures. I rarely go to class, seeing as there's no attendence. He gives 3 exams, which are take home, and merely a matter of opinion. Do not buy the book. Just be respectful, hand in your exams, and you'll be fine.

Easy. Doesnt take attendance.. Two take home exams... No book nessecary... answers to exams can be found online.. (GOOGLE) I barely went to class and got an A just for handing in my exams..

Dr. Herrera is a great professor so far! He makes the material interesting and has a nice voice for lecturing! He seems very helpful. There's a lot of work, but no more than most other 300 level courses and it's interesting.

To everyone else rating...welcome to college. Prof. Herrera does care about his students, you just have to care about class. He might be a bit anti-social but is completely approachable. Just do the work and you'll do fine. Writing intensive course, don't take if you cannot write. He's good if you're actually in college to learn.

First off I want to say that I am currently taking this professor spring semester of 2010. I'm reading over all of these horrible reviews and am honestly disgusted at what students are saying about him! This is an online class however the guy offers to meet with you at any chance you possibly can. He goes out of HIS WAY to help you in order to tru

Online class however guy offers to meet with you any chance you possibly can. This is college and if you think class is going to be a breeze , well reality check, GROW UP! I had alot going on this semester to so enough excuses and if you want a good grade, than work for it. We all get the grade we truly deserve, so my advice take the class!:) :) :)

Took this class online. The quizzes were a bit difficult, but he did help out when it was apparent that nobody got the material. I never met him in person, so I don't know how he is.

Dr. Herrera is one of the best professors I've taken at MSU. His class it challenging so you must come prepared to class. The quizes are very tricky but he is an easy grader. He is ALWAYS willing to provide students w/extra help. Take him!

I thought this guy was great! He never took attendance, but I went anyway. I found the information to be very interesting. So much that I picked up Philosophy as my minor. Only 2 take home quizzes for the semester. The answers can be found with a little research online. Just use google. An easy A and interesting class... no book needed.

Very easy going and easy grader. He's so laid back it gives cause for concern, but no concern needed. He was always willing to answer any questions, he never took attendance, and was very clear in his explanations. I learned a great deal from him. He is represents what all professors should strive to be.

Great professor! He was helpful and always willing to go over what I didn't understand. He's pretty funny too. I learned alot in his class.

online class- if you don't understand what you're reading email him. he is always willing to help. do the quiz questions and gives back a pdf of answers. 1 test - the final. you have to know how to do the work on your own and learn on your own. overall an interesting class- learned a lot.

(summer - online 4 week session) Do not take this class online. Logic is a very difficult subject, made even more difficult when you essentially have to teach yourself at home. Dr. Herrera seemed very willing to help, but I would definitely suggest taking his class on campus.

Be prepared to be treated like an actual adult; he will not remind you to do your homework or when assignments are due. Check online regularly, some don't like this but I think he is a great and interesting professor. I like how he gives us space and is always responds back quickly to emails if one has questions.

Logic isn't the first course I would recommend to be taken online. But the professor seems very laid back funny and always willing to help through email. Quizzes were online with 2 chances each so it is very easy to pass kind of hard to fail in all honesty (ended the semester with an A) but would recommend taking a Logic class in person.

He is one of the best professors I have ever taken at MSU! He is really into you accountable for your education. If he sees that you are serious about learning Philosophy, he will do whatever it takes to help you out. He will also make you a much better writer. Dr. Herrera is funny, intelligent, and an all around great professor.

I took Logic online and it was a pretty easy, honestly. There are 4 quizzes in total, including the final, each of which you get two chances to take (kinda makes it hard to fail). There is a discussion forum as well, but it's not mandatory and it is there to help you. Readings are assigned weekly. I would recommend this class *with this professor*

I took the online class. There were only 4 quizzes, and they were pretty challenging. If you keep up with the discussion forum then they shouldn't be too bad. I didn't open the textbook once and I got an A. He's a pretty sarcastic guy, but his expectations are clear and he's intelligent. The class is straight forward

He was alright. Whenever you asked him a question, he told you to check out the syllabus. 4 tests, all count as 25% of your grade but honestly easy because they are open book and notes, but of course you need to read. Questions really not that hard, but have to understand the concepts. He also posts once a week so not a demanding class

Took PHIL 106 (Logic) Class for the Summer 2017 semester. The course is graded on only 4 quizzes. You must read the notes in order to do well on the quizzes. Overall, very interesting class.

I took PHIL-102 with him online, it was a pretty easy class, very few assignments, it's easy to get an A if you make sure you do the quizzes on time, and send him a draft of your paper before submitting. It sometimes takes him a while to respond to emails so don't try to email him last minute as he won't respond right away.

Very easy class, there is an 8-10 page research paper but as long as you pick a topic you find interesting it's really not that bad.

He doesn't care about attendance, I never attended one class. Just read the assigned work and do the weekly tests. There's one big essay but I recommend to being brain storming prior and its light.

As long as you do the work, you get a 100.

Dr. Herrera is certainly a professor who understands his students. He goes far & beyond to communicate with you through email respectfully. Dr. Herrera encourages you to come out of your comfort zone. If you listen to his advice, you will grow in research, writing, & self. The bottom line is that you work with him, & he will work with you. Amazing!
