Very interesting. Comes up w/ funny examples. Got an A & don't understand why others are failing. Takes attendance. X-credit if you present essay to the class. Not hard though it's a logic class--lots of common sense. Will have have to memorize fallacies, etc. enough to recognize them in arguments.

Mr. Lopez is a great teacher for the most part, but he has a big ego. I recieved an A and cracked to book twice. Don't miss class or leave during a lecture unless you would like an example made of you. Also, speak up in class, he will appretiate what you have to say, and like you more for doing so.

Dr. Lopez is an outstanding professor. He gives you everything you need to know for quizes and tests during his lectures. It is sad to see how some people can get below a B in his classes. I have taken Phil 320 & 310 and going to take 350, and I'm not a Phil major. He uses funny examples that you will remember for tests. Go to class and pass!

This class is a fun and interesting class to take, especially if you want to learn about Philosophy without having to write a lot of essays and that sort of thing. There are no essays, only notes from the lectures in class, which are entertaining and thought-provoking. You don't need the book, and he is a great teacher. Take it and have fun!

Dr. Lopez is a very relaxed teacher. If you pay attention and take notes, you should do okay. He is very helpful when there is a problem in understanding however, he sometimes has a tendency to talk over the students when there is confusion. In my opinion, it would be better to hear the student explain their thoughts before reiterating the origi

Lopez is a good professor. Makes a slightly confusing subject seem quite simple, and if you come to class regularly and take good notes, you should have no problem with an A. Exams are usually multiple choice and not difficult if you take a little time to study for them. I would definetely recommend Lopez for anyone intersted in philosophy!

This class can be boring but he has a good sense of humor that pops up at least a couple times per lecture. There's not a ton of homework which is a plus. My biggest complaint is that he is very unorganized and takes everything on a day by day basis which is fine until it comes to tests and quizzes. He also reminds me of Ted the lawyer from Scrubs.

He's a caring and insightful teacher that has something to say.

Tests are easy if you go over notes before, and make sure to look at your notes before each class real quick because he may have a pop quiz.

Ethics was interesting with Lopez because I actually learned a lot from his lectures and debates during class. It's important to write down everything he writes on the board. He allows you to drop one of your lowest exam scores. I wouldn't say this class is easy just because there is no hwk. Your grade is strictly based on tests and attendance.

Mr. Lopez taught this class very well. He knows a lot about ethics. Note-taking is required to pass if not then your skrewed unless you are a good listener. The class is easy to most people cuz there's no homework at all, but some readings on the textbook. I wouldn't say its easy though. Your grade in class is based on tests and attendance alone.

Professor Lopez makes philosophy at least mildly entertaining. Do not take his class if you are easily offended. He has a dark sense of humor, which I love.

Lopez is a pretty dope guy. He HATES when you are on you cell phone or doing other homework in class, but you usually get out like 20-30 min early. 4 tests, 4 quizzes. Easy A's if you take notes and causally look over them before the test. Class is a little confusing at some parts though, but nothing to complicated.

I love this professor and I would definitely take him again! Show up to each class and take good notes. I didnt have to open my textbook because everything he mentions during the lectures covers everything for the quizzes and exams. There are 4 quizzes and 4 exams no assignments. Your lowest quiz score gets thrown out.

Professor Lopez is a good professor. He makes class simple and easy. In class, you need to take note carefully. Quiz and exam base on that. He will condense and summary the important points. Remeber that you will get a good grade.

My favorite professor ever. I love his sense of humor, and his dorky examples makes it so easy to memorize everything for the class. He will call you out in front of the class and shut you down if you try to challenge him, which I find hilarious. One of the smartest people I've ever met, I wish I could take this class over and over. Takes notes!!

If you're looking for an easy A, just show up and pay attention. He lays exactly what he's looking for on the table. However, for a philosophy class, everything seems incredibly simplistic and one sided. He reads directly whats on his slides (in a theatrical voice) and isn't willing to discuss the material deeply. I was bored and unchallenged.

Professor Lopez is awesome. Definitely take him in his philosophy classes. There is no outside class work. He tells you everything you need to know for the tests and quizzes, which is the only grades in the class. Every single class was let out 30 minutes early or more. You won't regret taking him if you just go to class and take notes. Easy.

Professor Lopez is the TRUTH. He cares for his students and will review the course material before the quiz/tests. Dude has a sense of humor and class usually ends at least 30-40 mins before the actual end time. Hell make note of what will be on the test so write it down. If he repeats himself, write it down. Be respectful when it comes to phones

Lopez is the BOMB. He is SUPER passionate and knows Philosophy like the back of his hand. His lectures are the KEY to the tests. He will tell you and review with you the day before the test. I recommend you use voice recording, a laptop or some kind of device if you take notes slowly. All tests are in class and guaranteed an easy A if you study!!!!

Took Prof. Lopez during the summer. Everything that he tested the class on was from the notes. He gave quizzes and examples that are very similar to the midterm and final. The book was not needed since his notes detailed everything. Class revolved around a presentation or essay & 2 exams & quizzes (drops lowest). He expects you to attend class.

One of the easiest classes/professor combo at ARC. I'm not a morning person but I took this class in the morning, showed up, aced all the tests and got out of there with the easiest A ever. Each test took me 10 minutes. There aren't any extra bs, Lopez gives you everything you need for the exams, plus he's a genuinely hilarious guy so there's that.

Lopez is great. He's funny and isn't afraid to speak his mind. This is an extremely easy class (logic) which I highly recommend. There are 4 multiple choice exams, 4 quizzes and presentation. He goes over the information so many times that there's no way of not passing; attend class and take some notes and you're sure to get an A.

Prof. Lopez is great! His Phil300 consists of 4 quizzes an 4 exams. Attendance does not count against you. His lectures are fun, and he'll sum up his lengthy power-points to help you understand the criteria for note taking. I'm also taking him for Phil320 next semester! If you want an easy A, take his class!

While the class was easy, and perfect for just fulfilling a requirement, it wasn't a very good class in terms of promoting philosophical discussion. 4 quizzes (1 dropped) and 4 tests based on lecture info is all. If you're there and take notes, you're pretty much golden.

Great professor! Everything in the exams is from the powerpoint slides. You are only graded on quizzes and exams, but he drops the lowest quiz and does reviews before every quiz and exam. His lectures are engaging! Easy A.
