Teaches straight from the book with EASY quizes each week. Gives you a 15 minute break everyday, and doesn't care if you leave. Very understanding, and chill. Reccommend, as workload is light, and class isn't a stress.

Very easy going and clear. He is super sweet and interested in his students. If you go to class and take good notes, you probably don't even need the book. The midterm and final are based on the book, but he covers it all completely. Two papers are required, but they are easy and he gives you a clear guideline on how they should be written.

He is the most nice teacher i have met, (not a moron). :) The quizzes are pretty easy but there is some critical thinking questions in there which are tricky. I hate the book, it is really hard to understand (Salmon). The midterm and final are like the quiz questions, so if your good with the quizzes then you will do fine.

He's really nice and easy going. If you're late or don't come to class it's okay and he doesnt care if you sleep in his class! lectures are really boring because he reads off the paper. Quizzes are straight from study guide he gives you each week but some questions are ambiguous and hard to find in the book. Laid back class

Very nice teacher, willing to really help you understand the material. The quizzes and the tests are pretty easy as long as you read the material.

If you read the book and look at his study guide. You should get a B no problems. However you get bonus for having good attendance. He is a bit dry sometimes but overall not bad at all. BTW I have his books for sale CHEAP-Got it new hardly use it. E-mail me for price.

Prof Law is very approachable and warm. His good nature makes people take undue advantage of him sometimes which is not a good thing. People also sleep on the front desk and I wonder how he acts indifferent to them. Overall very kind and clear instruction. Topics are confounding- stick with the theory and he ensures not to give you tough questions

Hes and extremely nice,teacher,very very fair, the quiz are not hard and the test are o.k . also he does not care if you show up to class. i would say just read the book and study what he gives you and you should be fine & its Not a hard class. The nices & most helfull teacher i ever had.

Very interesting class! He gives the class these scenarios then asks was the situation handled ethically, and from whose point of view. Lots of class discussion with lots of thought. His tests are not what you'd expect, but if you pay attention and review closely then you'll find it easy. Highly recommended instructor.

He's good. Philosophy's not always captivating, but he tries his best. He grades rather easily and really wants his students to understand the material above all.

He is a really nice guy but unfortunately the class is really boring. The study guides take forever so i suggest stay ahead. He reads out of the book so if u keep up with the readings missing class isnt tht big of a deal. He is just wants to help out students. He's very lenient.

Very nice guy, willing to schedule make-up tests around your schedule. Unfortunately, the class is slow. The lectures are very scripted it seems like, and personally, I got bored. Fortunately attendance isn't mandatory. if you plan on missing days you need the book, if you plan on being there all the time you really dont. Easy B, work for an A

He is perhaps the nicest professor I've ever hard in my life. A lot of people start taking advantage of him because he'd always offer a printout of his own notes when the students are supposed to print it out themselves and he also buys scantrons for the students when it's the student's job to do so.

he is really nice, lets you miss class, types out questionare for class and you fill it out. he is kind of boring and goes off on annoying tangets, but the class is three hours long so it just fills in time. he words the answers in weird ways and you have to really listen but the quizzes are easy and one essay. pie.

Nice guy that takes his time.

There are 10 quizes, a midterm and a final. The class is really borring so half of us didn't even go. He basically reads the book to you & doesn't care if you go to class or not

he talks alot..boring..but interesting when ppl discuss the topics. lots of quizzes but i aced them all just quick memorizing all the info a few hours beforehand. u fill out a question/note page when he lectures. he covers all info needed for quizzes. have to write a paper, not bad tho. be thorough. interesting class. he's nice 2

Outstanding instructor. Conveys material in a clear manor and will not hesitate to give further assistance if needed. Quizzes a breeze if you pay attention and fill in the posted notes.

He's a good professor. He makes sure you understand the material. Really nice and helpful. Class isn't that hard just attend the lectures and do the study guides.

professor Law is so great. i loved his class. very helpful and very clear in his lectures. he wants his students to do well. says that he won't do make-ups on the syllabus but is very lenient if you have a legitimate excuse for missing a quiz. his quizzes are very easy if you study. overall great class and highly recommend him!!!

He's so funny in his own way...very sarcastic and fun! He's also kinda random but the man knows how to teach this material! Very easy to comprehend, piece of cake! Do all study guides and study before hand and you will pass, no prob! Take him!!!!!

EASY CLASS...NICE TEACHER...USELESS BOOK...All you have to do is study off his study guide for 30min. and you'll do great on his tests. He's fun in his own way. Class is interesting. Don't buy the book 100% not needed.

very chill. don't need book. easy class easy A

mr law is awesome but this is the most boring class in the entire world. he literally does read to you.

He is extremely nice and tries to help out his students as much as he can.No homework, just read if you want. If you go to class, listen to lectures , and take notes you'll do good in the 5 quizzes given. He might get boring at times but it's not his fault

Such a sweet professor. Although many people say you don't need the book, it is nice for clarification. It's an easy A if you attend class for reviews and fill out the study guides. Also, be sure to do the writing assignments which are WAY easy, just a little long. I was late EVERY day, but made sure I still attended each session.

EASY EASY A! VERY boring though! unless you like the subject. Just do study guides and youre SOLID. do not need books unless you want to clarify by reading otherwise just do study guide which are inclass lectures.

Really easy, Dont buy book and just memorize the ppt slides. Easy GE class. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Dr. Law is a very nice professor. The class is very easy if you attend lecture/use the online PPts, though sometimes he's probably too lenient to those who skip class. Textbook is not necessary, since the lectures are easy to understand, though you can easily find cheap old versions on Amazon. tl;dr: Easy A.

Very nice man, this subject in particular wasn't exactly easy, but this professor made it as easy as possible with great example's and his study guide helps too. Law is very nice and very smart, if you don't understand you can ask a million questions and he will answer them until you understand. Very patient too.

Nice guy. easy class. You don't need the book. No homework. Easy quizes. You only need to listen and remember what the slides say about each subject and you should be great on quizes. Offers an extra credit which many don't need. Great class to take.

hands down, easiest and best teacher at OCC. no attendance points, no homework, and no essays. points are from quizes which are word for word from his lecture. even on his quizes he "helps" you out by givening away the answer. only downside is its a friday class, but well worth it in the end. take him!

As long as you have a pulse you can pass his class. All exam material was carbon copies of class notes which were posted online. Simple, kinda dorky and more than willing to help you succeed

Great class! Very interesting class and Mr. J is always EXTREMELY helpful. Pay attention and you'll get an A

Super helpful!

Great Teacher! Very interesting class, and Prof J is SUPER helpful. Pay attention and you'll get an A. Extra credit is also given.

Know what's on the study guides and you'll ace the tests... and the class. Super, super easy and super, super nice.

Took this class in Fall 09... slept and played games online. Didn't study or take notes and basically took exams w/o prep. Got an A even w/o the EC. Transferred to UCI and am doing Statistics, Math and Econ. A lot of his course is basic mathematics (probability, logical operators, etc.) I kind of miss OCC, it was easier.

I thought I failed this class for not paying attention but it turns out the essay boosted up my grade. He is chill and an easy grader.

I've already missed like 10 class sessions, but I still aced all my tests. Print out the powerpoints and study them. The test is seriously ust the powerpoints. I've only touched my book once and that was to write the essay. Easy A. Prof. is nice, but his lectures are boooring.

this class is an easy A (if you study). he posts up powerpoints and study guides on blackboard so you dont even need to show up to class. he is super nice and very patience and will answer your questions! the only downsize is that his quizes are a little wordy and the material is very boring.

The book isn't necessary for exams; all you need is the PPT to study. If you study, then you'll get an A. He offers some extra credit questions on the exams. 1 paper due; easy if you understand the material. If this is something you're interested in, you'll enjoy his class. He is really sweet and caring and extremely nice! 2nd time I've taken him!

It's very boring in his class. He reads his lectures to the class, so that can make you lose a lot of interest. But he is willing to help you out when you need clarification about anything and responds to emails fast. Very nice guy and is easy on grading.

I took his class last year. his class should be taught in the ivy leaugue. he helps students to think critically and arrive at their own conclusions wheras some professors are restried to and cannot accept for other opinions. he cares about student's success and eay to discuss your questions with.

His lectures are very boring so instead of attending classes I just read the chapters from the book. Never showed up to class after except for quizzes which are tests. In the end got a B+ but of course he wouldn't round it due to the absences.

He is a very nice man, helpful when you have questions for him. However, his lectures are a bit boring unless you have much interest in philosophy. Study guides are available for tests, things are pretty much word for word. One essay, theres no way you can get below a C on it, hes not a difficult grader.

Such a sweet man. Very approachable. His lectures are very boring, however, unless you are passionate about philosophy. Powerpoint slides are posted online which is basically the entire lecture so you hardly have to go to class, but I go anyway. He goes off on a lot of tangents, during which my mind tends to wander. Nonetheless his tests are easy!

Without a doubt the nicest man I've ever met. His class was rather easy, all notes-based tests. Didn't even have to rent the book really. Unfortunately he can be a little boring and repetitive, but he really does have a lot of good knowledge to impart if you're willing to stay awake.

He reminds me of the Sandman. Although the class (or it may be him) is extremely boring, it is 1 of the easiest req classes. Learn PPTs posted online verbatim + use common sense to make sense of scenarios given in tests. 4 MC tests, 1 paper about a given newspaper article. totally painless and a good alt. to English 101. Do show up once in a while.

Prof. Jerry Law is a passionate and rational instructor. He uses power points, and book is almost unnecessary, but interesting to read nonetheless. This class isn't really a discussion or a life changer, but if you pay attention it helps you understand ethics and what it means.Like many other comments, his class is quite tedious.

Easy easy and easy!! Pretty much he has power points mad if you literally just read that and ignore everything else he talks about you will get an A! I am a B and C student and I pulled an A. So I know for bums and slackers that are out there this is the guy you wanna take. You won't regret your decisions. Plus his power points are short about 40 slides and not much writing in each slide. Mostly repetitive stuff so it's pretty much 15 slides of important info.

Super nice professor. 6 quizzes- 100 % from powerpoints. He posts the powerpoints on blackboard. Class gets extremely, extremely boring- he tends to ramble on..a lot. Most people are sleeping or playing games. Easy easy easy class but soooo boring!!!!

Posts all the lecture online. Nice man who is there to teach his valuable knowledge. Some say he is boring, and if you aren't a philosophy major he may be. Material may be confusing and he does his best to make it clear to everyone. I highly recommend to anyone. Great guy

Nice prof. Easy class as long as you study the notes and read the book, focus on the examples then you will get good grades.

The class is boring-reads his lectures. Easy A if you study the ppt. Don't need to purchase the book.

He is a very nice teacher!! Unfortunately i became very lazy and didnt study for his tests which he basically posts online. i ended up dropping because my tests just werent going well.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Very respectful and inspirational.

Nice professor with always a smile on his face. The class is an easy A, but if you get lazy and study the night before, your chances of an A will lessen. The power points are the key to the quizzes.

Law is very nice but very boring. Just study the powerpoints and it's an easy A.

Lectures are long and he has a script he mostly reads out of. Discusses topics more if students don't get it. Tests are extremely easy. Mostly memorization but some you'll have to understand. 1 paper which is very easy, graded very leniently. Take for an easy A. Can tell he loves the subject. Very forgiving. Notes are online and study guides.

Professor Law, though he has lengthy lectures, was one of my very first professors and my favorite of my first semester. Starting college later than most young adults I was very nervous for one of my first classes, but when I talked to Jerry Law about my fear to fail school he made it clear to me that I would be supported by him no matter what in his Ethics class. He was extremely flexible, understanding, kind, and all of the material you have to study for any quiz is always online in his lecture power points. Literally all of it. His quizzes are direct and not ridiculously lengthy- he doesn't try to trick you, but simply quizzes the knowledge you have studied. I really appreciated this style of teaching during my first year in college and was very lucky to have Jerry Law for a professor. A professor simply caring about your success and willing to work with you is worth so much!

A truly inspirational professor. I took prof. Law's class a year ago but forgot to leave a review. This guy has an outstanding personality. I cannot describe how respectful, kind and caring he is. Prof. Law inspired me to be a better person.

Tests every two weeks, word for word from slides. Paper is an easy A if you follow the prompt and can speak English well enough to be understood on paper. The class is an easy A but the lectures are painfully boring so bring something to entertain yourself

Really good professor, all his material is covered through his powerpoints. Study the powerpoints and you'll get an easy A.

This was very lecture-heavy and he read off from his own script which is almost the same as the powerpoints that he puts up in class. 5 easy "quizzes" and 1 paper. Textbook is not needed (except when you need to do the essay but should be able to find it online). Easy A if you read the powerpoints and do the study guide.

such an easy class.. attendance is NOT mandatory, i only attended on the days that he gave quizzes & i passed with flying colors. he posts all of the lectures online and they are word-for-word what is on the quiz. 5 easy quizzes and only 1 paper all semester (he's a lenient grader.) Such a laid back class, i would definitely take him again

It's very lecture heavy and what he discusses is on his powerpoints that he posts up online. Attendance isn't really mandatory but he appreciates it when his students show up. He's a kind and easy going professor. 5 quizzes and 1 easy paper. Just study what's on the study guide and and follow the paper guidelines and you'll pass with an A.

Five 50 point tests and one 150 point paper. The only time you use the textbook is for the paper. All of the exams are based off of his powerpoint presentations. Such a truly nice guy. I had an 89.75% and he rounded me up to an A. Really cares about his students. He lectures every day from his powerpoints. Low maintenance class, super easy.

The best professor i've ever had. Truly a caring and respectful person. He's also a professor that you can tell is actually very intelligent (unlike many)

Professor Laws class was great. Attendance is not mandatory. 5 easy quizes and most of them will be take home, 1 easy paper with an enough time amount. If you were absent on the quiz day, he will give you a chance to make it up by giving you the quiz as a take home quiz. Hes super nice and caring. Really do recommend! Easy A class!

Professor Law is a sweet and caring instructor. He makes his class easy and understandable for everyone. Even though attendance is not mandatory, please show up and give him the respect he deserves. He puts in a lot of effort for his lectures, but it is sad to say that most people take advantage of him by not showing up.

Dr. Law is a very nice professor that I ever had, he treats students very kindly and even let them take quizzes at home which is very nice of him. Thats so sad that people dont show up until quiz session or they leave early or dont pay attention during the lecture! Hes so respectful to me and I think students should respect him a lot.

This is a GREAT class to take, especially if you're working a lot. The slideshows are posted online, and the bulk of the quiz material is there. The lectures are optional to show up to, but they're really good, so I recommend showing up if you can, even though it isn't necessary. Prof. Law is very sympathetic and accepts late work/make-up quizzes.

Nicest most caring and understanding teacher ever! He is super passionate for it and you can tell he works really hard for all of his lectures. Such a nice smart man!!

This professor should have a higher rating. What more could you want? There's 4easy quizzes, one easy essay (it can be as short or as long as you want it to be but he said three pages is good) and he picked the textbook because it's affordable. Attendance is also optional. He takes late work and late quizzes for no grade penalty. Great class Easy A

Kindest professor I have ever taken. His lectures are thought-provoking and he will always engage with students. One of the best teachers at OCC.

Prof. Law is the sweetest gentleman. His lectures read to you, but he writes them quite thoughtfully and eloquently. The material is all common sense so it's easy to grasp the concepts. You just learn terms. He posts the entire study guide for the course from day 1 so I literally just wrote my notes on that and never missed a test question. Easy A!

I had him for Ethics in Fall 2019. He is a kindhearted and caring person who loves philosophy. Your grade in the class is 7 quizzes and a paper. Quiz questions come directly from the powerpoints, which are on Canvas. He lets you take quizzes home if you miss taking them in class for whatever reason which is nice. Take his classes if you can!

COVID year. Honestly feel bad that I attended only 1 lecture because Jerry genuinely cared about what he taught and about his students. Very easy class, tests you can take twice and are based completely off lectures. Only 1 paper which was also fairly easy. Very sweet, feels like your typical boomer that isn't good at using tech but tries his best.

Two assignments every week that are philosophical questions. Five exams based on the lectures. Gives you two chances to take them. Two easy questions to answer every week and paper. Honestly, every review before me is accurate. Sweet guy and a boomer who really tries his best to teach during these times. Easygoing class, def recommend!

Prof. Law is very understanding and accommodating. A good amount of reading and concepts. He is always willing to meet, answer questions, and give direction. Pay attention and participate and you can pass the class.

Professor Law is incredibly kind and a great person. You can tell he loves Philosophy and his class was only based on one paper and five quizzes. Super easy A.

Go through the powerpoint with him and you are good to go.

Class is super organized and easy to understand; professor is also super amazing and nice. There are lectures, but it's not mandatory to attend them live, and they're recorded so you can watch them later. Tests are extremely easy if you do the study guide. Read the PowerPoints and watch the lectures if you can!

Professor law was the best, all the quizzes were true or false, and the due date was the end of the semester. Super easy, def would take again

This is a very easy class and Prof. Law is a very cool guy. It's super straightforward- a couple quizzes and 1 paper (graded easy). You can tell he's really passionate/knowledgable about what he's teaching. He's also really understanding and flexible with the entire class, allowing you to do assignments at times that work best for you. Take this!

Professor Law is the only professor that cares about the students' well being, he understands that students have other classes and wants his to be has stressfree as possible. Content wise, the terms and more formal words are confusing but he has examples and a study guide for every quiz/test.

Professor Law is very kind and he is always willing to help you out with anything that you need. He only assigns 10 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final and 1 paper. All of the information are in his powerpoints and he responds to emails in a very quick manner. I highly recommend taking his class!

Jerry was knowledgable and you can tell he cares about the topic he teaches. His work load is fairly easy. 5 quizzes and one paper- all take homes. I don't know why there are people complaining about his tests and essays. Yes, sometimes his wording can be confusing but honestly if you don't get an A -- the problem is probably. Easy A.

Mr. Law is a nice guy. Grade is made up of 5 quizzes and an essay. Prompts are kind of confusing for the paper but he is a lenient grader. quizzes are entirely built on the google slides he gives you. if you get anything lower than a B ur goofy lol.

Genuinely enjoyed going to class because of him. He's such a sweet, and soft spoken man. Presentations can be long but he does try to add fun pictures or he'll crack some jokes here and there. Overall I really liked him as a professor.

Jerry Law is an amazing professor, His teaching style is amazing and straight forward and post the notes online for everyone to see. Would recommend bringing a Pen and Paper to his class. Notes are a MUST.

If you need GE credits, this professor is the one you take for intro to philosophy. I honestly never listened in class and watched youtube every single class but still got an A. I of course listened sometimes when it interested me but most of the time I didn't. The only assignments are only 5 tests and a paper, which are all exceptionally easy.

hes good

I liked Jerry but only because I took this class as a GE. If this is a class you are taking for your major, I wouldn't recommend because the slow lecture pace, lack of any homework, and heavy reliance on MCQ tests makes retaining info difficult. That being said, it was a fairly easy class to pass and he is very kind and works with you if needed.

Super easy class. Just read the lectures and you will be fine. Just 10 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final, and a short paper all due on the last day of the semester. Take him

Super easy just a few take home test which you can google and a short paper where he is lenient on free A

Prof. Jerry's PHIL100 is an easy GE with minimal effort required. The lectures can be slow, but staying engaged and using resources like unstuckstudy alongside the textbook makes it manageable. Overall, a decent intro course if you need the credits.

He's a really good person, and he's responsive. One of the easiest classes at Occ. I recommended if you want a free A any of his classes are free A's. Just five test which you can look up all the awnser anecdotes a paper which he is super lenient on you can even finish all the test in one day there that easy.

Great Professor. Gives great lectures with voluntary student participation, and interesting topics to discuss. There's around 8 canvas quizzes and one final paper. His PowerPoints are simple and he reads off a “script” but not in a bad way but rather to structure the lecture. Attendance isn't mandatory but he does take roll. 10/10, awesome prof!

easiest class of my life. i did nothing the entire semester (aside from one essay) and crammed in all the tests on the last day.
