At first I thought he was going to be a hard professor, but Mr. Jones is a awesome professor you can tell he loves Philosophy. He loves to see his students participate and show him you want to pass. I sat in the front and I'm telling you logic is easy but can get very confusing, please do homework!!! thats a must. Im happy I took him.
I was very confuse in this class, Philosophy did not come easy for me. Mr. Jones moved a little to fast, and he teaches like you already know the subject. He is very passionate about Philosophy, and loves when you participate. You will get homework every day, that is the only way you will understand the subject. This was a stressful class for me.
Professor Jones was a nice person, he wanted to see you succeed in his class. For me this was a hard subject. His test are worth 75% of your grade, So you don't have room for error. He gets over zealous and gives very long test, and our whole class was having trouble passing and finishing his test. I would not take him again.
This guy is a great teacher. He loves discussion and always available when you need help. Be prepared to read though. You will need the text book. His papers cost more than his test but he is a easy grader, just make sure you follow the specifics. He has a passion for philosophy and really cares for his students I would definitely take him again.
Professor Jones is a good teacher but he relies a lot on the textbook and online videos to further explain class topics. If you do not have a textbook you WILL NOT pass this class! He isn't a stickler for tardiness but if you want to pass you have to attend every single class. Lecture time varies but definitely expect a lot of homework/classwork.
Unhelpful, unorganized, and incompetent. Simple as that. "Lectures" come verbatim from the text, or Youtube. Gives classwork and daily HW as if he's teaching at an elementary school. Does not prepare the class for the tests he writes and the class averages reflect this. Take someone else.
Mr. Jones is a pretty good professor, his lectures make sense and the homework is pretty simple. It's easy to get good grades on the HW but you get A LOT of it. The tests are what get you in this course, because they are worth 75% of your grade and there are only 3 of them. Our class average was very low for tests. Gives some extra credit.
The subject is unbelievably confusing but he is great at breaking things down and allowing time in class to ask about past and upcoming homework problems. Absolutely wonderful, just wish the subject was easier.
Awesome professor I enjoyed the class during the Spring semester I wish I could take him again
Professor Jones is an excellent instructor. You can tell that he knows what he's talking about and that he really wants you to succeed. While the subject is difficult, he tries to make it as understandable as possible. I highly recommend him if you have to take a Philosophy course.
Professor Jones is a good professor and a very nice guy. However, I would not recommend because he has very tough standards on his students and is a tough grader. He gives a ton of homework and his tests are worth 75% of your grade, but on the bright side, he gives bonus work that will save your life like it did everyone else's.
He gives a clear structure to how his class runs, and sticks to that formula. You'll know what to expect, so you can plan accordingly to other responsibilities you might have. His method of extra credit is interesting, as well. Lastly, he's funny and charismatic. There's much more that could be said, but just take my advice: he's a great professor.
Mr. Jones is a really good teacher, however i took his class as a required humanities thinking it would be an easy A but the class was pretty challenging. He is also a very tough grader and doesn't really take any excuses. if this pertains to your major then he will help if not "IT IS NOT AN EASY A"
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Tough grader but he gives you everything you need to pass, offers extra credit, and always has time to answers questions and help you pass his class. If you do your assignments and show him you care he will help you pass. I'm taking him again next semester for biomedical ethics. I HIGHLY recommend taking him.
I would highly recommend professor Jones to anyone. He is extremely understanding and cares about what hes teaching. His class was easy and fun!
Professor Jones is an excellent instructor. Class was interesting and never boring. He's extremely knowledgeable of the content and is always open to challenging questions a student may have. His lectures really flowed well with the book, so if you did not catch what was said in class, going back to the book was a great reference.
It was enjoyable to go to class. He makes class very short and to the point. He makes sure you have all the notes you need to succeed in the class. I would 100% recommend him to anyone. He makes topics interesting and is very easy to talk to. He was very good at getting the point across. Great class.
He is very understanding when it comes to assignment due dates! He knows life goes on outside of class and will talk to you and help you according to what you need. Definitely an easy going and stress free class. He is always prepared for class and gets straight to the point of lecture.
Really awesome professor, really tough class. The first half is the worst of the class, last half is a breeze. He does not take any excuses. But still, he is a reasonable nice guy, if you just talk to him and ask for help.
Awesome professor! Gives extra credit. Hes very clear about homework and even does some of it in class .
I took Darren in the Fall of 2017. He cares very much about your grade and making sure you understand the material. It is a lot of homework but it helps. He has always had a high energy and it makes class so much easier. The first half of the semester is the hard part and the second half is the easiest. Take notes... you will need them.
Mr. Jones was amazing, Dec 2017 semester for Logic. Lots of homework but a lot of possible points. Make sure you complete all your assignments plus many opportunities for bonus work. If you fail this class is because you didn't at least try. 3 test but he goes over everything before hand plus review sheets. Mr Jones was and still is AWESOME! THANKS
Professor Jones is an acquired taste, some think he's unorganized, but as long as you are, you'll be fine. His class was incredibly interesting; his discussions and opinions helps relate the material to current day thought processes. Lots of reading and writing, form your thoughts before you submit any assignment. 5/5 will take again next semester.
Mr. Jones is a great teacher overall. His class is brief but interesting. This class is not hard to pass if you do what you are supposed to.
Great professor, Really knows his logic! I originally registered online but could not understand, so he allowed me to attend on campus lectures and he explains it on a level anyone can understand. After that I began passing the class. Do whats expected of you and you will definitely pass the class. Would definitely recommend.
I took this class over the summer instead of taking a second math class I thought this would be easier but boy was I wrong there are a lot concepts to grasp make sure you take all of your notes and study !! And do NOT miss any h/w assignments and there Are lots of those this is a test heavy class watch the you tube videos he post they are helpful
I loved that the class was a bit challenging esp. since I took it online. I do think it would be better to take in-class tho but Prof. Jones is alway available to help. I had a (1) one-on-one session with him and it helped so much! You will have to put in work but with his help and the youtube videos an A is possible. Wish I could take him again!
Awesome
Great class. The teacher is very specific about what he wants you to know and explains it well during class. He makes the information interesting to learn.
Explained everything well and always willing to help after class and during office hours if needed. Lots of homework. He goes over what is on exams and what to expect. Gives great lectures. He is very understanding about how life can interfere with school and works with you.
Logic can be very confusing and difficult to learn but he finds a way to break it down and make it easier. While he's giving the lecture he will always give you a very relatable example to go with it. The class goes with the chapters in the book. You finish a chapter then do 2 home works to go with it. Lots of home work, but necessary.
He cares about your success which is something you can't find in most professors especially at the college level. He will happily review any paper or homework assignment before it's due to help improve your grade. Gives study guide days and his notes are great,they accurately prepare you for whatever test or paper. Great Professor! Highly recommend
Professor Jones is an amazing teacher! He makes lecture time fun. You will never be bored. You will need the book, and there is a lot of reading but it is very interesting. You will have to write a few short papers but as long as you read and do the work you can make an easy A. This class was by far the easiest A.
I was very happy with this class and this professor. He made material interesting and actually pretty fun! GREAT CLASS!
Professor Jones is a great professor. He gives lots of reading assignments (READ THEM). He also gives lots of writing assignments about the readings (DO THEM). DO THE WORK AND YOU WILL PASS! He lets you show him your work and tells you what to fix (VERY HELPFUL). I got an A after everything was said and done. MAKES YOU WORK FOR YOUR GARDE.
This class is tough. Mr. Jones is a good teacher and cares about his students. I took this class somewhere else and brought my grade up. The first test is the most difficult. So study a lot, go to office hours, and ask lots of questions. The rest of the tests are easier, make sure to do your homework. Homework helped me to earn a B.
This guy is an amazing professor. For Logic 1013, he knew everything about the subject, and knew just how to present it so that the subject material was easy to pick up. The class is test heavy, but he lets you use notes for each test. He is super accessible and you know that he wants you to pass. Amazing guy, 10/10 would take again.
Professor Jones was extremely passionate about logic. The material was very tough at times but the amount of homework he assigns definitely helps prepare you for exams. The exams are very hard but passable as long as you pay attention when he breaks everything down and do the homework. He was super nice and an amazing professor.
Professor Jones was an amazing teacher. His lectures were short and sweet, but he covered a lot of material. He made the lectures so fun and interesting. There are some reading assignments along with homework, but it is very doable and the readings are interesting as well. He responds to emails quickly and gives feedback on any assignments!!
Mr. Jones is an amazing professor, he knows his teachings and is very knowledgeable of it. He really cares about his students and gives great feed back on assignments/tests. I would absolutely take him again!
The first testis the hardest test but don't be discouraged because the next two are EASY. There is a lot of homework but he gives you adequate time to do it and will help you out with anything you don't understand. Attendance is mandatory for the first day but doesn't matter after that but it will be difficult to pass if you don't go to class.
Professor Jones was an incredible teacher. His excitement about the class made it so much more interesting. He only gives you the info that you must know. I learned so much in his class! There are plenty of opportunities to boost your grade. He has a copy of the book that you can use in class, but it's pretty cheap!
I lived in fear of this class at the beginning of the semester. Professor Jones was very honest about the number of students who don't pass Logic, especially in the accelerated summer semester. However, his lectures were very clear and easy to follow. With the addition of reading the book, viewing his on line live, and written l've done it!
Mr. Jones was a great teacher. Any question I had, he would answer. I would stay after class and he would help me with any homework I didn't understand. I had a steady B in the class. If you do the work, ask the questions, and participate you can pass his class.
Mr. Jones lectures are amazing. He is hilarious and really engages the class in his lecture. Read what he assigns, he does occasionally do pop quizzes over the reading. I wouldnt say this is an easy class exactly, but its fun if you enjoy deep thinking. Hes very nice and wants you to pass the class.
Professor Jones is a wonderful instructor. Very helpful, kind, and passionate about logic. To succeed in this class you will have to do homework, read, and study. Ask questions, go to his workshops, and study groups. I had a delightful time learning about logic. He is very fair! Read the book & watch his online lectures as well. Inspirational!
To say Professor Jones is amazing is an understatement. Complete all of your homework and ask questions then theres no reason why you shouldnt pass with at least a B. This course can be difficult at times but Professor Jones is there anytime you need him and wants his students to succeed. Probably the most compassionate professor Ive ever taken.
Mr. Jones is hilarious and really nice. He will help you outside of class if needed or even come on campus at a specific time if you cant make his office hours. His class isnt easy but if you enjoy thinking about things in different ways then his philosophy class is great. He also has bonus point opportunities.
He provides great lectures (video and written, and he's hilarious!) He goes over a few of the hw problems for each assignment and will gladly go over anything you don't understand. I just think he does a good job of simplifying some very complex material and gives relatable examples, making the material easier to understand and remember. He cares!
There is a lot of reading in this class, but it's manageable. He is such a great professor; he makes sure you succeed in his class.
Darren Jones is easily one of the best professors I've had so far because of the straight-forward nature of his teaching style. He has better cohesion than most between the different factors at play (notes, homeworks, tests, etc.) and is very friendly and agreeable as well. He is lenient when he knows you're trying and correctional when it is fair.
I was a bit intimidated about this class but Professor Jones took the worry away. Logic is not a very easy subject but he has a way of simplifying and making it relatable for your understanding. Always willing to help and you can tell he genuinely wants to see his students do well. Enjoyed his lectures and overall class in general.
Mr. Jones was of the the best professors Ive taken. Hes very straightforward but not rude. This class is not an easy A. You have to read the chapters and go to class. Also, the homework is helpful. I struggled with the subject however professor Jones was there every step of the way answering all my questions via email during the pandemic.
Professor Jones is passionate and dedicated to making sure you get the grade you work for. I agree with previous post he is literally one of the best. You have to do the work bc this class is challenging, but he makes it interesting and fun.
Professor Jones was an amazing professor. I took him in the summer for Intro to Logic. It was a very tough class (even harder because it was online), but he made it so interesting and easy to understand. We met weekly to go over the next section and it made everything so much easier to understand. There's lots of homework but it helps your grade!!
Mr. Jones was a great professor. He made the information fun to learn in a class that was not so fun. He responds to all emails in a very timely manner. I really enjoyed the class.
Mr Jones is a great teacher and he cares about his students doing well. He gives great lectures and hes very knowledgeable. Mr Jones tries his best to make sure the information he presents is clear and understandable and if youre having trouble with a lesson he will do his best assist you.
Professor Jones is the kind of professor that makes you want to go to class. Lectures are fun, inclusive, he makes you feel heard and, where applicable, valid, even if your opinions differ from his own. He is fair minded, clear about expectations and grading criteria. I would highly recommend this instructor.
When I tell you absolutely DO. NOT. take this professor. He prides himself on his high fail rate. He is incredibly rude and almost hopes that everyone fails his class. He gives little to no help and honestly I wish I wouldve picked a teacher at an entirely different university. DO. NOT. TAKE. THIS. PROFESSOR.
Would not recommend this class. I'm not sure if the class being online made a difference but this was an extremely difficult class. On the first lecture he let the whole class know that over 75% of the class will fail and even the ones that try will probably fail... which is a little hard to hear. The grading scale for this class is very confusing.
Darren Jones is an excellent professor. He explains course material in detail so the student can comprehend the concepts much clearer. He is an awesome instructor and gets the students involved during his lectures. He is always available to do one on one and group study sessions outside of class. He devotes his time to helping his students succeed.
First off - Prof Jones is hilarious and that's what makes his lectures so easy to follow. They are decently long (about 2.5 hours each) but they fly by. He is able to come up with real life examples that make it easier to understand. As long as you take good notes, you'll do fine or even great on the exams. Wish I needed more PHIL classes!
Professor Jones was the most organized teacher I had throughout BRCC. He explained everything word for word over and over. The only way you will not pass his class is if you do not show up for class or watch his lectures. He answers every question in a timely manner even if you ask tons. All around great teacher.
Prof Jones is funny; Great class to take and he does not lecture AT you. He gets students involved in the lectures. Offers private lessons/help if needed and keeps the class entertaining. First half is harder than the last half. I took this class in place of Math. It's definitely a little bit challenge, but easier to grasp than math IMO.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He bragged about test being formatted to fail students. To add to this, he makes it so that the course is so test heavy that if you do not pass every test with flying colors you WILL fail. I honestly do no know how I passed with a B as I struggled. Inpatient and angry when students are having trouble comprehending.
I really loved this class and professor. I'm registered to take another class of his next semester. He's very funny. Has given extra credit simply for participation. He's very helpful! And he's just really great.
Professor Jones is an excellent teacher, HE DOES NOT SET YOU UP TO FAIL! He does gives out a good bit of homework but it is everything to help you prepare and do well on his tests. He goes out of his way to make sure you understand the material IF YOU CONTACT HIM ABOUT IT. He will always 100% of the time make time for you outside of class if asked
Professor Jones is probably one of the best professors i've ever had. He makes himself available outside of class and will even join study sessions to help in the evenings. He records and posts all lectures to the canvas page, along with extra material he compiles from outside sources. I'd rate him a 10 if I could.
Mr. Jones is funny and makes class easy to follow along and don't get bored. Lots of notes and lots of reading. If you know how to follow instructions and basic reading and understanding you will pass this class with an easy A. Only one essay, tough grader. Easy test. I would definitely take another class with him, he cares about his students.

Prof. Jones cares about his students. He welcomes feedback and gives it in return. Jones is extremely fair, making the equal treatment of all of his students clear. He's funny and has the ability to make all of his lectures entertaining and interactive while still challenging you. Go to class, read, ask questions, and you will pass!! Great teacher.
He uses mainly lectures that all connect to the book. He simplifies material into examples that make it very easy to understand/grasp. He's very laid back but also very passionate about his teaching and success of his students. He gives alot of homework, but always goes a few questions in class then goes over any questions you have the day its due.
Very friendly and ALWAYS willing to give you extra help. He allows you to use a small portion of your notes during some exams, then always goes over the exams problem to problem once graded. I promise you'll love taking any of his classes!
Professor Jones was my favorite professor that I have had throughout college. Because of Professor Jones, I am thinking about going to school longer to study more into this field. He gives you all of the necessary materials and will even help you out with a few extra credit assignments. His lectures are amazing and overall I really loved his class.
I work full-time while doing school on top of it he was not very helpful in my other options. if you work on top of school probably not the professor for you.
BEST TEACHER EVER! I really loved this class and I would take it again! He explains everything so good, such a beautiful class, he make it feel easy!
Very cool person with helpful attitude. He helps students a lot. He has only one rule follow the guidelines. If you follow it properly you will get grade easily.
Prof. Jones cared a lot about making sure his students understood the assignment, reading, and would gladly answer questions or have discussions about topics. After the first test I had a 67 and thought I would for sure fail the class, but he worked with me by giving out extra credit, and gave clear instructions that I could follow to do better.
Professor Jones is by far one of the best to every do it. Despite the rumors his class was manageable, easy to understand, and the work load was not bad. Always be one step ahead of him and read your class material. I would definitely take him again.
Not gonna lie...it is a lot of reading BUT he is the coolest professor you will ever take. You have to read the book to pass the test and really the class. Just read and you will pass the quizzes and etc. Professor Jones, if you're reading this, you're a cool dude and I loved your class!!!!!
Took him for Summer 2022. Real straight to the point. Lectures were easy to comprehend. Tests were easy and covered exactly what we talked about in class. I would recommend him to ANYONE!!
Intro to logic Awesome instructor, I really enjoyed his course. He is approachable, clear in the lectures, gives homework help, & provides all the resources needed to do well. It all boils down to your ability to comprehend the content. Grade weighs in only two areas: 30% HW and 70% exams (3 exams total). Definitely can pass but only with effort.
I'm about to graduate, this guy had the best lectures by far. Great teacher, highly recommend and the class isn't too difficult. My only criticism is the questions for quizzes/tests are more about the quality of notes than your understanding of the information, this is so he can prevent personal bias. So take good notes and you will be fine.
Professor Jones is the best professor I have ever had. He really cares about his students and he understands everything he teaches. He explains all the material simply so you can easily understand it. He posts lectures and notes online so you can review, and the homework assignments are for your benefit. Tests are open notes :)
Professor Jones is a dedicated teacher who truly cares about the success of his students. He has an adaptive teaching style and is more than willing to take the time to help every student succeed. Success in this course all boils down to reading the material, doing the homework, and attending class. I would advise this class to be taken in person.
Professor Jones is arguably the best teacher I had at BRCC. I was worried as I took Intro to Logic instead of Math which I am terrible at. I passed with a B with his help! If you ask questions and show you're putting in effort, then he will have no problem explaining topics you need further assistance with
Professor Jones is AMAZING. I absolutely loved him and his class. Hands down my favorite class this semester. He also has a great sense of humor. He will make you smile everyday
This professor is the best and I am always in the hot seat because I come prepared on what I am going to answer in my mind where I understand and analyze solving it through the problem or statements from my thinking and he is the professor that teaches in each chapter. I hope I will see him in the spring or future. Best professor ever.
Absolutely loved Prof Jones and this class. The lectures were live each class, but he left them posted for two weeks if you couldn't attend. It made it really easy to manage my time, as I had another class during the live sessions. I wish I had taken his in-person class because he is so funny!! He really wants you to pass the class
You will get a good grade in this class if you are an overthinker. Whenever I did something wrong on the assignment, he would regrade it till I got an A. My biggest complaint is that he is nitpicky when grading, though.
Overall a good professor , he will work with you, gives extra credit, I just don't like how the tests are worth a big portion of your grade, you could do so well on assignments and flunk by failing the tests . Tests are open notes not open book which could help out
Professor Jones is one of the best. Engaging lectures, helpful feedback, and a focus on student success. The workload is manageable, and using resources like unstuck ai for study prep can really pay off. Definitely a class worth taking.
THE BEST!!!! What everyone says it's true. One of the BEST professors at BRCC. Logic is not an easy subject but Professor Jones gives multiple opportunity for extra credit, and Open NOTES testing. Just pay attention, ask questions and take great notes you should be fine.
He expects everything to be 100% percent and if not, a lot of credit is taken off. Very difficult in my opinion. Failed and would not take again.
