He is a good professor. Very smart and down to earth. I got an A in both hi philosophy and religion class. He is not a hard grader and does not give out many assignments, maybe one paper, midterm, and final. His study guides are awesome so you cannot fail this class unless you actually tried to...I reccomend him to anyone.

O.K Professor.. He dosen't add much to his students comments but sticks mostly to his own script. He looks similar to Fabio the model a plus, and he is the poster child for vitamin water. In a nutshell ill take his class but record it b/c his notes that he puts on the white board are sloppy but if you record him and listen to the notes you may pass

Prof Francillo's Ethics course is one of the best on-line classes I have ever taken at this college. He responds to questions very quickly and the material is fascinating and informative. Take him for his on-line classes-he's really great!!

Hands down the worst professor I had in PCCC. Doesn't care about his students. Very disrespectful too. Taking His Class is a mistake.

Prof Francillo's ethics class was one of the most interesting courses I've taken. The topics are so compelling that almost everybody gets involved in the debates. He really has a gift for making complex ideas simple. The only problem is his handwriting is a bit sloppy. Awesome class!

Prof Fruncillo is impassioned about philosophy and this really makes a difference for me. When I started this class I really didn't care about philosophy and now I love it. I will be taking him for Ethics next semester-take his courses!!

He is so kind and caring and as long as you show you care and try you will pass. He is not tough but doesn't like when the class is quit, if he asks a question participate. No homework besides readings but he doesn't not collect anything. Nothing else to say but take him if you can.

Professor Fruncillo is a great teacher and he cares about our success, i learned so much from this class and the things ive learned i will keep with me forever. He was always charismatic and made philosophy fun and engaging. If you take philosophy, make sure you register early, because his classes fill up quickly.

One of the most respectful and easy going professor. There was only 2 exams & 1 final(not accumulative) all based on the notes that were taken in class which are written on the board. Professor is very intelligent & made the lectures very easy to understand. No homework. Gives study guides. Exam consist of 20 question all types and a 5 para. essay.
