Great professor. She seemed to really know her philo. Show up with book!!

Answers given before test, go to class and you will do fine

Scary, but knows her stuff. Write down notes WORD for WORD.

A real warrior-philosopher lady! If you're respectful and learn her main points, she'll give you a good grade.

Very interesting class, hard though, a lot of studying before exams, but it's dificult to make up absences

Excellent teacher. She really knows her philosophy. Tests are a piece of cake, she reviews exactly what you need to say and sort of hints as to what questions she will ask. Excellent, I pulled an A+ after the final!

The class is really easy, and she is very good at explaining the reading to you so you don't really have to read, but she has a temper.

she's a cool teacher, she does have an accent, but its more entertaining than anything else. good explanations, good teacher if you ask me. favorite class i have right now

she is a great teacher!! she explains the readings very well...and she makes three hours go by fast which is always a plus. The tests are easy if you take notes...piece of cake! Unlike other teachers she is passionate about the subject..makes class fun!

She does have an acent but its cool at times. she is a really good teacher. Her class maybe long but she teaches with passion and if you take notes you wont have a problem with her test. oh and her assignments are a peice of cake!!

She's a really cool teacher but if you miss one class you better plan on getting the notes from your buddy. She's really funny also, which makes the class go by faster.

i loved this class! she held study sessions, and made everything soo easy to understand. Unlike many teachers she lets you know exactly what is going to be on a test so you can do well.

Go to every class, take verbatim notes & read minimally. She tells you all exactly the answers so you better get it right. Heavy accent, anal grader because she tells you the answers and late on returning work. Passionate, smart & enthusiastic

she is extremly knowledgable and helpful. challenging, but if you go to the study sessions you'll ace the tests. chances for extra credit help tremendously. takes her job seriously, and expects you to as well.

She may have an accent but she is a great teacher. She gives you everything you need to know in order to take her tests. She might as well hand out A's, she is very informative. She has passion for her work and I admire that.

Shes a good teacher, a little hard to understand. The best part is if you get an A in the class you don't have to take the final. She gives you the questions for tests before you take them and tells you the answers. She is VERY helpful!!!

Great Teacher! I enjoyed the coarse. Just make sure to attend every single class meating and take good notes. Easy exams cuz she practically gives you the answers to the test in advance. Her favorite phrase to say is "isn't it". Good Luck!

she is one of the best teachers i know. shes really knowledgeable on the subject and never has notes or anything to read from, she just says everything by memory. her tests are easy, she basically gives you the answers. just take notes and you'll be ok

Take good lecture notes, do little reading, watch for her temper, she gives you the answers to the test with a review sheet just memorize them

Major pride issuses. Even if she is totally 100% wrong she will shoot you down if you try to correct her or even question something she says.

she is a very good teacher. if you go to class and take notes you'll ace the test.

she gives a review sheet with questions that apply to the tests, some questions on the review were on the tests so it was good, take home extra credit for each test, if u study u will do good

Every class was interesting for me, even though the material has boring beyond belief. If you work hard, this class shouldn't be too tough, but you REALLY need to pay attention. Tests can be tough, but you can earn EC before every single one

She was an awesome teacher. I came into that class thinking that it was going to be hard and I would be lost but she explains everything so clear and gives you a study guide of the exact questions that will be on the test. Study hard and you'll do fine.

She really knows her stuff and teaches it well. people complain about her but that's just because they are not willing to learn for their grade. If you want to learn, she will help you. And consequently, you will do well in her class. She speaks well.

She is very clear during her lectures, considering the complexity of the subject. Tests are easy if you took good notes: OPEN BOOK/NOTE TESTS! 10 pt EC before every test. One project...easy but TIME CONSUMING. One 6-8pg paper. 4-5 tests. Attendance counts

she gives really long descriptive lectures so writes exactly everything she says. she is pretty difficult when it comes to tests. no notes no book. she is really loud and a little weird. pay attention!!!

Gives the test questions ahead of time to study. 1 paper and 3 essay test. not too bad. can be boring at times and attendance is required.

Great teacher! If you think it is hard, then you do not listen to anything! She over explains everything so it is every easy to do well if you apply yourself and go to class. Tells you the test before you take it, open book open note. funny and puts right pressure to make you do well.def. recommend!

i really enjoyed this class. she knows EVERYTHING about logic, and she explains everything really well. only a few open-note open-book tests, a project and 2 papers... pretty easy. just make sure you go to every class.

If you know her teaching style, this class is an easy A. There are three midterms, a paper and a Final, but if you have an A and no absences before the final you dont have to take it. She tells you exactly what she wants you to know...so if pay attention you should do really well!

She is a challenging but extremely helpful professor who lives to see her students learn. She's witty and is a true expert in logic. The class is not that bad--just write down everything that she puts on the blackboard. She breaks down the reading for you and makes it easy to learn. GREAT prof.

take down notes, it will really help you with the exams. i never read the book, missed most of her classes, failed the 1st exam, but did good on the 2nd and finals, i got B+.

omg she's annoying...

I dont know what people are talking about. You can make the class easy if you pre-write you essays for the test (she GIVES you the questions a week ahead of time). extra credit is always offered, so do it. Pre-read all your papers before you turn them in and talk to her in office hours to make sure you understand what she wants. I got a 105%, easy.

make sure everything you write on tests/papers is exactly what she says, or she will fail you.

Great teacher. Very passionate about the class. Go to lecture becuase everything there is on the test. 3 tests=50% of your grade. I messed around in the class and got an 86%. hard to get an "A" because it is a 96%. Strong filipino accent but she is great.

Easy but BORING.People didn't like her cuz she talks and repeats herself alot. But everything that was on our tests was said 1,000 times in lecture. Go to office hours she'll tell you the answers to the test. If u have an A at the end you don't have to take the final. She's fair and easy, but class drags on and she is really BORING.

She knows what she is talking about. Take lost of notes because test are straight from lecture. She drove me crazy with how she treated the students in class; make sure if you raise your hand you have the exactly right answer. You will write a lot!

Very nice teacher, can seem to belittle you if you are wrong, but she wants to make sure you know what is going on. Gives test questions a week before, easy to approach and a very interesting subject. Tends to repeat herself too much but pretty good for the most part. Strong accent

The most I have learned in any class. She makes complex ideas of philosophers very concise and precise. She may repeat things at times to make sense out of it to you. Compared to her lectures, the philosophers's writings are 10 times more redundant. She's easy to approach even if you're late with homework and tests. She wants you to learn.

Wonderful teacher. I learned vast amounts that will stick! Her method is clear. She approaches the subject with zeal and passion. She demands accuracy: while she does not hesitate to correct students in class, it demonstrates her care for the subject and her concern for student learning. If you missed Jesuit schooling, here is your chance.

Once you find out exactly what she wants, you can master her class. She is very specific and wants you to be specific as well; this will get you an A. She is not in the clouds, she is organized and percise. A good learn!

She's a smart professor but she can be a ****! She openly ridicules students in class and pokes fun at their answers when they participate in discussions.

This class is great. She is a really easy teacher who gives you the questions to the tests before hand. Out of 5 questions she gives you to study she will pick 3 plus an extra credit. If you come to class and are willing to take some notes you wont have a problem. Ill def. take her again.

2 1/2 straight hours talking about philosophers got really boring at times, but for the most part it was really interesting. if you study, this class is easy. she gives you the test/essay questions ahead of time, and then chooses at random which ones she wants you to answer the day of the test. not hard if you're good at memorizing theories, etc.

How can anyone not like her. She is a great teacher. She explains the subject better very clearly and focus' on the important facts of the philosophers. Very fun class. Take her, especially over chaffin. her review sessions are the best.

If you go to every class and have an A before the final, you dont have to take it which is awesome and what I did. The tests are straightforward memorization. there is no thinking, just remembering. she gives you all the notes and answers for the test and its up to you to remember them for the test.

Required tests and classwork are easy, but tedious. VERY long papers but no thinking required. It is basically copying down all of your notes for the past 2 weeks. Tests are memorization, not critical thinking at all. Memorize notes = A in the class. I was going to drop it because its scary at first but was my highest grade with 102%.

easy class, need to go to every class she takes attendance...easy tests just take good notes she gives you all of the answers to the test during the lectures, there are 3 tests and the final and she drops the lowest one.

she teaches well, is very knowledgable about philosophy. she gives study guides for her tests and will throw hints for the extra credit portion. she also invites questions but then insults you for 20 minutes. it seems like she almost takes it personally when you question a philosopher or give the wrong "opinion". it was entertaining to me!

she is an awesome teacher, and she really knows her stuff.

She def knows her stuff. She can talk for hours and hours and the students are still tuned to whats going on. The class requires lots of reading or take really good notes during her lectures. three short papers (3-5 pages) and two long papers (13 -15). If your phil majors take this class if you are not take another easy exploration class.

Easy class. Just attend every class, take your notes, and you'll be flying by with a A or B at least. Tests are based on notes and I hardly even read the books. She clarifies everything that you need to do and is always open for help. Probably the only con is that her lectures get so damn repetitive. Just keep yourself awake, and you'll be fine.

She's very knowledgeable about logic & is helpful. if you get an A before the final then you won't have to take it. i went to most of her classes because its important to note whatever she says. manageable class..got an A-. drops lowest test score out of 4 exams. wants her students to do good. GREAT teacher!

You have to read and you have to participate. She will grill you in class. She knows so much about PHIL... so if you're interested in it, shes a great teacher. I really did learn a lot but don't care about phil too much. She's a great teacher though. you feel so smart if you say the right thing!@ Tests are essay.

Hard tests, lengthy written assignment, no board notes, required reading before class, can be interesting if you make it, and most important RIGHT EVERYTHING DOWN THAT COMES OUT OF HER MOUTH! I liked the class but it took half the semester to get in the right mindset. Very helpful if you make the effort. O ya it'll blow your mind, i say take it.

She's REAL tough, but she definitely knows her stuff. As long as you study you're fine, I mean this IS a logic class. If you're a tiny bit logical you're fine. She yelled at us but she also ended up dropping a test so I ended up with an A in the class. As tough as she is, you'll be fine as long as you know your stuff and take the class seriously.

Very knowledgeable teacher. If you take this class, take note of EVERYTHING she says. As you will need it to take the essay tests and 10+ page papers. The papers are basically word for word her notes, so it just takes time. She is very opinionated- if your thoughts differ from hers..you're wrong and she'll expose you.Good notes= A/B

tough teacher. 4 exams are all essays. no final - but 12 page paper instead. drops on exam. Don't miss class. take notes on everything she says. You will be expected to logically and thoroughly explain philosophical views from a variety of sources on exam day. Only from memory, and you must write fast. Show up early on exam day.

Very understanding Teacher. If you need help, you HAVE to go see her and she will help. She grades HARD on exams. I studied SOOO much and still made D's. Take notes, don't skip class whatsoever, and if you ask a question, be prepared to have your head ripped off. She will go off if she thinks it's not worthy of her time.

Textbook is online through APLIA. So save and don't buy the 200$ book. GO TO CLASS AND TAKE NOTES ON EVERYTHING WRITTEN ON THE BOARD. Small accent. I liked and hated this class at the same time. When signing up for this class get a section where she has another section in the same classroom the next hour it gives u more test time. 6 major tests.

Professor Reyes was the best teacher I had during my first semester, despite the fact that she's pretty scary. She's incredibly knowledgeable. If you pay attention, read the book, and do all of her assignments, you'll learn a lot and do well. Study everything for the tests. I always did the practice questions over and over. Got over 100% each time.

This class is honestly pretty easy. I went to class every day and paid attention; she is very clear in her lectures. Besides that I did the homework and studied for about an hour before each test (there's 5). Got an A and was exempt from the final. She's also VERY generous with EC. Tests are tough to finish on time so get there early.

Reyes can be intimidating at first, but she warms up later. If you go to class regularly and take notes and do the online homework you will do fine. She offers extra credit for every exam and is very helpful during her office hours. She will even exempt you from the final if you attend every class and have an A- by the end of the semester.

Very thorough. 3 tests, 2 papers, 5 DB's. Go to class, take notes, and she explains just about everything you need to know. She applies the lessons to everyday hardships we deal with, if you're not a snot nosed, 'know it all,' brat, you'll see she is sharing some great tools for life. I liked the class.

She's very intimidating in the beginning. All her tests are written tests and she grades them pretty hard. She grades the essays much easier. Your grade won't be as bad as you think it will be. I thought I was getting a D for most of the semester but ended up with a B

Yes, she is very difficult but I learned a ton of awesome stuff that has been life changing for me. She really cares about what she teaches and applies it to everyday experience. I got an A without working all that hard. If you can read, write, and think, then take her. Yes, thinking is hard but you're in college.

Reyes is super intimidating at first, but as the semester rolls on she definitely grows on you. there's a lot of online homework and the class is very quick paced. there are a lot of quizzes. if by the end of the semester you have an A you don't need to take the final, so try really hard and you'll be greatly rewarded! hard but not unbearable class

Great teacher. She is very clear. Tells you exactly all that may be on the tests. You have to attend class, study, and use your brain. I am not a studious person by any means, but I passed. Had some stressful moments, primarily brought on by myself and lack of preparation. Ive take her for like 3 classes and plan to take 2 more with her this fall.

I was expecting this class to be about philosophical concepts but instead it was about the structure of logical sentences, the definitions of fallacies, and other such useless concepts. The professor is intimidating and discourages questions. Also, you must attend every class session&complete all assignments or you will quickly fall behind.

if you're a phil major, definitely take this. I scrapped away with a solid B in her class. Literally, one of my most difficult classes ever. But if you take this class and get by with a B-, you're gonna get an A in advanced logic. Only downfall is...you can't ever listen to a friend's argument without pointing out fallacies. A gift and a curse.

Understanding the Formal rules of fallacies. She tells you the general concepts that will be on the test, so it narrows down the scope a bit, but her questions and style of tests are very thorough and somewhat difficult. You will need to know something to pass, you will need to have great comprehension of everything to get A. 2 of 20 got 90%+

After taking 3 classes with Prof. Reyes, I have learned: 1. If you actually read, her lectures are GREAT. If you don't, shame on you! You really miss out. 2. Her method of teaching logic will give you a SOLID foundation for 521, so don't slack. It's good for you. 3. She teaches/acts like she does for your BENEFIT, not your compliments.

Listen, this class is not for slackers. If you put in the work for this class, you will reap the rewards. The work is not difficult, but it can be time consuming. By the end of the semester, i developed a great respect for her. She knows exactly what she is talking about and expects students to come to class and be prepared to work.

Her class is hard and you actually have to study and put som effort int the class. However, she is fair in grading because she is crystal clear when explaining what she wants. She also gives 10 points of extra credit for every test. At first she seems mean, but I grew to respect her and learned a lot. I really enjoyed what I learned in her class.

She can be intimidating at first but get the time to get to know her and talk to her and you will be in the zone. She is one of the most intelligent people I have known. I attended office hours regularly and studied hard and received over a 100 on every test. Office hours are a must and you will excel. Don't let all of the other ratings discourage.

Literally the hardest class I've ever taken. She is a very tough grader and nothing is multiple choice. Do not take this class if you are taking it so you don't have to take a math class because it's just the same. I enjoyed the challenge and worked my ass off for my A- so if you are truly dedicated and work hard you could do well. Lots of X-Credit

Class is in conjunction with Aplia online. This requires a lot of discipline and attendance is necessary or you will fall behind. Prof Reyes is faced with students who want to screw off - no wonder she is stern! But she does care if you make an effort. She will help you in any way. Go to here office hours, and take advantage of extra credit points.

It's been years since I've taken her, but this professor really made an impression on me. I worked hard and remember a lot from her classes still. I don't get the complaints about her accent. I never had a problem understanding. It's petty when you consider the role of English in the world, with more non-native speakers than natives. GREAT teacher.

I did not enjoy this class but I would attribute this to it being online rather than the subject material or the professor. Take this class if you want an easy GPA booster, but I would recommend an in-person class if you have a genuine interest in philosophy and want to learn more about it.

Lectures are straight forward, unless an unprepared student gets her off topic with inane questions. Papers can be long, however if you address EVERY question in her prompts you have an easy A. Previously if you had an A going into the final you were exempted, but that seems to have changed. Final was take-home; 10 pages in 10 point font.

Easy A but SOOOO MUCH WORK! There are 6 essay tests and 10 discussion boards that end up being extremely lengthy but the questions are straight out of the book. Lots of work but an extremely interesting class. I highly recommend to anyone trying to go into the medical feild.

I learned a great deal in this class and Professor Reyes was very accommodating to my scheduled as a soldier and as a student. If I needed extra time, she gave it to me. Very clear. Everything you need to know will be in the reading and in her notes online. Well organized and effective class!

Absolutely loved her teaching style. Her tests are clear-cut, mostly short answer/essay responses. Easy A if you apply the lectures to the discussions, quizzes, and essays. She will respond to your emails within one or two days. I would like to take an in-class course taught by her because she was that good.

Online. Follow her instructions on the discussion boards and on exams, answer EVERY question thoroughly. There was a good amount of reading to do but I got a 100 on 3/4 'exams'. Theyre not essays, but 10 questions that take a while to answer well so start early. CITE EVERYTHING or it will set off the plagiarism tool, i had a huge problem with that

I'm glad I took this class online because tests are lengthy. There is no way you would finish a test in an hour and 15 minute class period. Pretty clear cut teacher. READ THE BOOK. It helps, really. Plus it's pretty interesting stuff.

I took this class as an online course. Professor Reyes provides quizzes, discussion boards, and essay exams. Class was interesting but time consuming! If you read the textbook and follow all the directions in the discussion boards and the essays, you will pass. She seemed like a fair grader. Honestly thought 6 essay exams were a bit too much.

Beware: speaks loudly, emphatically, and sometimes goes on brief rants about things she told people not to do on tests that they did anyway. Lectures have IMPORTANT things. Recommend studying by doing lots of practice problems. Need help? Go to office hours. She likes people who try and can be forgiving with grades. Don't be scared of Reyes!

Probably one of the best online professors I have ever taken, easy to understand, very clear in what she wants in the assignments she assigns. I don't believe she is a harsh grader, she gives excellent feed back. Definitely would take her again.

It's a fairly easy class. no need to read your book before hand. you can use the ppt lectures for quizes, and everything is pretty much OPEN BOOK. if put in the work of writing thoroughly, you'll get an A. It's an online class so I don't know how she lectures, but go to office hours and she's normal. If you're lazy, drop out of college!!!

Awesome class and teacher. She is very clear about what she wants from you. Weekly discussion boards and quizzes and essays exams but really you're just answering questions thoroughly. Great online class, interesting material and I felt like I actually learned something

Easy online class. Just make sure to read the chapters for the midterms and finals. Just keep in mind that the midterms are written and quite long. If you keep up with the weekly requirements, you'll do great.

This was one of the easiest classes taken in my college career. The TA posted the chapter summaries of the book every week for the chapters we needed and we only needed to post a discussion board every Friday and a quiz/test every Sunday. Easy A needed for the Humanities section of the GE explorations.

Really awesome professor. She has a clear grading criteria. Usually 1 DB/1 Quiz due each Fri/Sun. 4 essay exams with the last one multiple choice. Didnt really need the book because she posted a chapter outline every week. You get what you work for. Keep up with the assignments and you get an A.

She is scary in person but online she is a different person. Weekly discussion boards, biweekly written exams. Clear grading criteria. One opportunity for extra credit. Easy to get a hold of during office hours or email.

You learn a lot in this class! The reason I gave a four for difficulty was because it is time consuming, however, she is not a tough grader as long as you are understanding most of the material. She gives weekly discussion boards and quizzes. You have six written exams total throughout the semester, usually five to seven pages long.

Easiest class at state so far. Yes there was a lot of reading but if you use control + F to search key words, it'll feel like busy work without having to think. Classes with reading are normally not my strong suit but this class was just fine. Tip: do the discussion board and exams on Monday and chill the rest of the week. I did it with Chem 200,Ez

Reyes is a great professor. She makes you work for an A. She will give you the test questions in advance and if you need help you can just go to her office hours. If you put in the work, you will definitely get an A in this class.

Very communicative and is clear on what she wants. There is no tests only weekly discussions and every two weeks you have these "Major Exams" that are basically essays. Discussions are usually 6-10 questions and Major exams are 10 or more questions. A lot of work for an elective but an easy A if you have the time to do it. She gives you a week.

idk why she gets so much hate :( If you have basic critical thinking skills and some interest in philosophy, you should be fine. All her assignments can be written based on lectures or E-Lectures she uploads to Canvas. She gives u all the answers. I never did the readings and passed.
