His lectures are very interesting and relatably funny. Oh, and not to forget to mention, He's HOT!!! TAKE HIM, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. YOU WILL LEARN AND LAUGH @THE SAME TIME,WHAT A DEAL
I just finished the summer semester in his class with an A. Professor Brown is very knowledgeable in this subject and not too mention hilarious. I definately recommend him you won't be sorry. Don't miss a day of class though, everyday you learn something new. Made my semester fly, wished it lasted longer. Absolutely loved his class!!!!

BEST PROF EVER!! He's hilarious and the class is interesting. I took him the Summer 5wk so instead of doing a big paper we did 3 or 4 1pg essays. He goes over the tests in review!! just different order on the test. go to class everyday, dont miss review!! and do the paper or essays and it's a definite A!! and u'll love going to school for once :)
He is amazing!!! Easy & understandable!!! Loved it!
I have no interest in Philosophy, but the class is a pre-req., so I took it in the summer. Prof. Brown made it so interesting and enjoyable, as he is very funny! I spent my 5 weeks wanting to learn more. No need to buy the books, his notes are on the web. Make sure you attend the review and you will get an easy A!
Online class is straightforward. People make it seem harder than it is. Something due every week and most of the time its something as simple as a post on the discussion board. Essays are extremely easy and are only about 3-4 paragraphs long and the papers are 3 pages long. no midterm. 4 essays. 2 papers. 20 post. final was as simple as it gets.
Best philosophy teacher ever. Keeps all the material relevant to the course. I would definitely recommened it to any one that needs a phil credit you wont regret taking his class. keeps all students focus by tell some stories that are some way interesting. Also "scholars" never be late to his class or reviews.
I took this class as a pre-req and loved it! He's very entertaining and interesting. Go to the reviews and you'll pass the tests with A's. The writing assignments were very easy too. Don't be late to the test!
took online class, very easy. there is no way you can fail his class.
OMG! This professor is the best philosophy teacher ever. I just finised taking this class and i leerned alot. Just follow the syllabus as he says and you will make an A. work not hard at all. He responds in a timely manner and grades easy just dont plagiarize and you will do fine.
Dr. Brown is one of the best instructor that HCC have. I took the class online this summer and A's it. Great instructor with a crystal clear syllabuls and instructions. Just turn in your work on time and you will be fine. Thanks Dr. Brown, you are the best.
awesome stress free class, JUST DO WHAT HE ASKS. and he will give you full credit. instructions are super clear, tells you exactly what to go over.
most stress free class ever! he is what an online techer should be CLEAR, just do what he asks on the syllabus dont cheat and he will give you full crediot for following instruction not too much work about one item every week. he was not very present but the material was easy. dot bother buying the books i got a 97,i never opened one,use his PPTS
just took him online. we had 2 quizzes, 2 major papers, 4 short essays and 10 discussions. something due every wednesday. just keep up with the due dates and you will make an A. I did both my major papers the night of, at the last minute and got all points for each one. he grades very leniently and posts grades in a timely manner. highly recommend!
This prof is the best, I was so scared to register for the class, but I followed what students say, which was true, no textbook, follow the power point, then u will get ur easy A.
He nice teacher everything is explained in his online website easy A if u follow instructions
EASY A.sign up for class early.took him spring sems.made a 98.10 discussion.google and BS it.2 easy essay and write whatever crap u want.DO NOT CHEAT.assignments due every wed.email him if u need any help.NO book.use powerpoint to read and write what u feel about what u read.STRESS FREE CLASS.i got 100 on all and 90 on 2 papers.follow syllabus
Excellent and a great professor. Just follow the syllabus: 5 discussions; 4 quizzes; 1 final exam; 2 essays and 1 paper. For quizzes, read his PP and the reading portion from the text that he wants you to read, you will do very well in the quiz. The quizzes are timed but he gives enough time for each quiz. Got an A.
Easiest professor at HCC, he has discussions, quizes, tests and papers. Honestly I did all these assignments in 10 minutes. Just google or bs everything and he will give u 100. Just make sure to look at his syllabus and follow his rules. As long as you do that I will guarantee you will get an A in this class!
This was one of the easiest courses I have ever taken. His class consists of discussions, quiz's and tests. JUST MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THE RULES. You can just bs everything but just follow his instructions. Its the easiest A I have ever received.
Super easy course! Professor has a great sense of humor, answers emails promptly and all the books for the course can be found at the library. All assignments and tests were online.
This was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. I was absolutely afraid to take this class at first. I just finished the summer 8wk online class. Just follow the syllabus and do as he ask, you will be fine.
After dreading philosophy for a while, I am so glad I ended up taking it with him. I can tell he really cares about his students. He replies to emails quickly, his instructions were clear, and he doesn't overload you with work. Just do the few assignments on time. Take him! You will be glad you did!
Easy class took this class in the summer online 8-week course. You have a week to finish an assignment. The only thing I recommend is that you follow his directions and you will be good. You will need the textbooks which they are cheap online. Pay attention to the PowerPoint’s because your final comes from those PowerPoint’s
Read the syllabus to follow the instructions on how to post for discussions. Work due weekly on Wed by 11:59 am. You do need to purchase the required texts, which are relatively inexpensive. The quizzes are easy if you do the reading. One major essay (3-5 pages with citations). Work is submitted to Turnitin, do not plagiarize.
Great! Highly recommend! Final ( 50 questions & 2 hr limit) comes from power points (some from previous quizzes). All online (including tests & final) 5 discussion posts (5 sentences & ask one question-gives 100 if you follow directions) 4 quizzes (Each quiz: 10 questions & 1 hr). 2 short essays & 1 major paper (nice grader). Don't plagiarize!
TAKE THIS CLASS! One assignment a week, could be as easy as a discussion topic. 4 quizes + final. 2 essays, 1 paper, and 5 discussions. Super easy and very interesting. You won't be sorry. A GPA booster for sure.
Took him for summer 5wk, super easy. Just read the syllabus, know when things are due, and do EXACTLY what the syllabus tells you to do and you will get an A.
I can't emphasize how amazing his online class is. He's a lenient grader, follow the syllabus exactly as it says. Class consists of quizzes, discussion posts, one paper, two essays, and a final exam. Warning: You will die writing that 5 page paper. Besides that, attainable A! First online class that I'm going to walk out with an open mind.
Great professor, very easy and simple class.
I took Prof Brown Fall 2015. His online class is amazing! As everyone says follow the syllabus and you will do great! I have never enjoyed an online class as much as this one. As long as you do the work exactly how he wants it you are guaranteed an A. Would recommend it to all! Take him you will not regret it.
Took online class. Follow syllabus and you would be fine. Extremely helpful, fairgrader.
He was tough but well worth it
This dude is not right, he was doing ok with the grading scale then he just started giving me bad grades. Even with my essay papers when i did present a work site page he still gave me a zero, I would not advise no one to take this guy. SMH
Philosophy is a hard class in general. So if you are looking for an "easy A professor" you need to find a different subject. Professor Brown is extremely helpful and his directions are very clear. You have to read, study and write a lot but if you do then work then an A is attainable.
Simple. Read. Do the work. Participate in discussions. Exam comes straight from all notes. I could have easily made an A, but I missed an essay do to a serious family issue. Other than that, I'd advise you to take the class.
I submitted my discussion a few minutes late and he gave me zero, I begged him and he didnt accept. When I submitted the paper on time, he counted the references that i used as plagiarism and said that I used "a little more than a third"!! and he gave me another zero. Like seriously?? He is the worst professor ever!!!!
Just follow his directions, and u should be fine. He is clear on what he wants. There is no extra credit & no makeups. For the discussions, u had 2 write 5 sent and end it with a ?. Quizzes are straight from PPT. FE is from old quizzes, but mostly PPT. For your essay, u must be specific on Descartes reasoning for human errs. U should reply 2 ppl.
This class could be an easy A. Just follow is the calendar. He gives u step by step instructions on wut he wants u to do throughout da week. I promise u, if u follow dis exactly as he requests u should make an A. The essay does have 2 b specific w/ analyzing the existence of God and why we make errors.
He does not steer from the syllabus. Anything and everything you are required to do over the course of the semester is laid out perfectly for you on the syllabus. The workload for each week is small per week and he gives multiple weeks for the research paper.
Professor Brown's class is one of the easiest I have taken. It was interesting and he is not a tough grader. I really enjoyed his class. I took it online and it was very simple, I made a 98 without even trying.
Professor Danny Brown is one of the best professors at HCC. He is not a though grader. He grades you for what you do. It was a great class. You must take him for philosophy. It will be a breeze. I promise.
Great class. Easy to make an A if you do the work. He responds pretty quickly to emails. It's great material if you are looking to learn some interesting stuff.
Received a harsh grade on an essay. Which brought my average down considerably. Class in all very easy textbooks required are all online. As long as you read youll pass. My review is strictly based on my grade average.
if you read the papers, powerpoint and put logic in the essays you will do great. I had some awesome feedback on his papers. Discussions are fairly easy and quizzes if you read the material. I currently have a 96% a final exam and 2 discussions to go confident to get an A . The class is not overloading very picky about plagiarism!
2 paper, 5 discussions, 4 quizes 1 final... online... google and your fine. Didnt use any books... most were available online or cheap pdf. 1 paper... read all fine print... he has info on annoucements and then syllabus... its everywhere... so just check evefywhere. Easy class. Shouldve made an a but the paper i got lazy
Took it online and was an easy A Dont have to buy textbook he gives you powerpoints You have 4 disscusions board 2 short essay 1 quiz 1 essay paper 3 pages but you have to read the book Nicomechian Ethics. I didnt read it all but if you get the concept it should not be that hard and the final exam is easy Everything is due on a Wednesday.
I took professor Brown's first 8 weeks online class and I do not regret it one bit. I would take him many many times ahead. He has VERY clear grading criteria. He presents you with all you have to do, mini essays, discussions, and one major paper. His slides are awesome and I love the feedback he gives. He made me actually like studying ethics!
If you need a philosophy course, take Professor Brown. You don't need a textbook, he provides everything you need with his slides and a few reading assignments. Just get your discussions and essays in on time and enjoy the class. The course is a super easy A. And he will reply to your email within a day if you have any questions or comments.
Professor always reply back within 24 hours. This was 8-week online course. 1 Quiz, 5 discussion (1paragraph), 2 essays (3 paragraphs), 1 paper (3 fullpages & double space), 1 final exam (easy peasy). DO NOT NEED TEXTBOOK. Read ppts to get an A!
Professor Brown is one of the best teachers Ive taken at HCC thus far. All you need is to study the power points, (Very clear and easy to understand) . Grades fairly and gives you good feedback as to why you received that grade. If only all professors were this way Id definitely take him again
Took the 5 week course. Take him over anyone else. Reply's to email's fast. Best Proffesor Ever
There was 4 discussions (minimum of 5 sentences each and make sure to end all posts with questions), 1 quiz, 2 essays (3 paragraphs long), 1 research essay (like three pages long, I didn't read the book). I just finished the class because he posted the final this week and it was super easy!! Def take him, not time consuming at all.
There were 4 discussions (minimum of 5 sentences each and make sure to end all posts with questions), 1 quiz, 2 essays (3 paragraphs long), 1 research essay (like three pages long, I didn't read the book). I just finished the class because he posted the final like A month ago and it was super easy!! Definitely take him, time-consuming and Easy A.
Easy assignments, powerpoints, and nice professor.
Reason why I got a B+ instead of an A is because I procrastinated on the essay and left it last minute. But if you do your work and turn everything in on time you should get an A. Easy class and few assignments.
Follow the syllabus. DO NOT plagiarize. Study. Three discussions, 3 quizzes, 1,000 word research paper, 1 3-paragraph essay, and a final exam. He is not the friendliest over email but he responds within 24 hours. I would absolutely take him again. Luckily, I do not ever have to take another philosophy class again.
This professor is the worst I have ever taken in my entire HCC career. He relies completely on turnit in. He doesn't grade things, he relies on computers to do his job. HE WILL GIVE YOU A ZERO for having even 10% on turnit in. DO NOT take this professor. DO NOT believe others. This class is INTRODUCTION but he acts like it's a PhD level course.
DO NOT take this professor, he is rude, inconsiderate and does not respond to emails. Do not trust the positive reviews, he is NOT a good professor. If you care about your GPA do not take him!
All his powerpoints were straightforward. All of the quizzes and discussions came from the powerpoints or a short reading, but they were easy. There is one small paper and one big paper to write, but he is an easy grader. Final is 40 questions timed 2 hours. 10/10 recommend his class, by far one of the easiest professors that I have had.
PLEASE RUN. This professor is not the professor you want for the introduction class. He grades as if you are taking a PhD level course. He was a very tough grader, and RUDE! I am glad this semester is done!
Great professor, participate in discussions easy work to do and you'll pass.
This professor is so serious about plagiarism!! Dont Try it! just do the work. Ask lots of questions he answers emails in within a couple ofdays. Follow the Syllabus everything you need to know is in there. At first I didnt care for him to much hes kinda rude but end of passing the class. Easy final just review all note and PowerPoints. Good luck
Class was generally easy, however, I did find one paper difficult to write. I asked multiple questions and professor Brown gladly answered all.
Professor Brown is amazing. I am an over thinker and pointed out some things that did not make sense and not once was I judged. There were 4 discussions, 1 quiz, 2 essays (3 paragraphs long), 1 research essay (three pages long). I found the essay difficult to write, however, I ended up getting an A. Other than that, this class is an easy A.
Professor Brown has a very a very simple online class. 3 discussions, 3 quizzes, 2 papers (which are very easy) and the final exam. He is an easy grader and is very helpful if you ask questions. His quizzes are based off of the ppts and readings and the answers are in the ppts and readings and sometimes he asks very simple questions.
Summer 8wks. easy A. 4 discussion easy 100 no need to respond to others. 1 short essay easy 100. 1 paper 1k words graded super easy 100. 2 quizzes and final answers on powerpoints.
Took Professor Brown for my summer mini semester and it was super easy. Opens all the assignments for you to work ahead. He explains everything very well on his Syllabus one of the best professors I've ever had.
Ok, I am not used to rate my professors because I don't really care BUT professor Brown is really easy. Do the homework, read the rubric for the two essays (really easy prompts), read the documents he provides before doing the quizzes and you will be easily getting an A
Easy A. I took this class for Winter Mini, and I was scared at first, but I could finish everything in 10 days as the assignment was open and very well explained. I loved it. highlyreceomend
Easy class and it was a mini session I took which was 4 weeks. We worked on our own pace, just make sure to turn in every week's work Fridays on time. The quizzes we took after the pps were open note and so was the final exam. It was all easy and from the pps like literally. Also like 3 discussion posts that were super easy.
He was amazing for my mini summer course all assignments must are due friday it was online anytime he easy and striaght forward and overall made my summer course easy and not stressful definitely take him if u wanna pass with an A
just take this professor.
Amazing! Everything was clearly laid out. Lectures were easy to follow and help me a lot with the quizzes (which were also easy). No busy work AT ALL!!! Take him!!!!
Mr brown was very funny and his exams were very easy. Took this as a summer course, only 7 assignments. Everything was open book. Super easy class and very much enjoyed not having to stress.
His lectures are PowerPoint-based and very well organized, making everything easy to understand. He grades quickly and gives fast feedback. I 100% recommend taking his class.
