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.
This professor is easy. I had him for an online class and he does not give alot of work. Very easy. Lenient grader!
Profesor Fruncillo was super awesome.He loves to hear himself talk, so just ask questions and sound interested in the class, and you will do fine. Participation is a must in this class. He looks so hot when he drinks his vitamin water. I highly recommend to take his intro to philosophy class.
Great teacher.
AMAZING professor. Love this guy, he's such a great, smart man. AND hes banginn whattt.
Ok teacher, clear to understand but doesn't really answer questions asked best phrases all class long " good point" although maybe horrible and " good question" although it may be irrelevant to topic. besides that he gives great study guides for exams.
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
Excellent teacher would recommend and take again
the best professor by far. the only problem is the paper that is due at the end of the semester he wants to much info and nothing to write about
He is a great teacher and is class i can actually say that i loved it!!i learned so much. He cares for the students and lets you know if your failing and tries to help you out!! He would sometimes write on the board but otherwise you would have to take notes!
He makes the class more interesting than the book. The textbook is so boring, dry and hard to read. He brings everyone to life but his notes can be a little confusing as he's writing on the board.
Great professor. He makes sure you understand the material. If you are thinking on taking intro to philosophy, he is the best!!
subject itself was a little hard to understand at times but he def tries to explain everything and give you examples so that you can learn well. very helpful. enjoyed the debates. read the material so that you have an idea and are able to understand better. def a great teacher for ethics and any subject similar to it, great teaching method.
He is a great professor, but the theory's gets confusing at times, participation is important. "But" he grades only on quizzes and exams, I'm not a good text taker, i guess that messed me up. BTW his quizzes are SURPRISED quizzes.
He is the best teacher ... Only thing is he hates repeating him self if u leave the room ... As long as u read ur notes you will have no problem
Very easy class but extremely boring. The professor spends 2 hours and 12 explaining a simple lesson, that can be explained in 1 hour or less. Very repetitive and does not drop the lowest grade. Easy A if you keep up with the reading, and you must be ready for POP quizzes!
maybe i found it harder because philosophy doesn't interest me but he knows his stuff, makes you really work for your grade. be ready for pop quizzes. notes on whiteboard are kinda sloppy. but try to take the best notes you can. they will be your savior.
he is very not good professor. does not help at all. my advice do not take with him never ever.
Professor Fruncillo is one of the most inspirational professors I have had at this college! I recommend him to anyone interested in philosophy. He was always there to help me and he is very funny and good looking too!
He is a wonderful teacher. He is one of the best teachers here at PCCC. I wish he could be my teacher all the way to graduation. He is very patient and he makes sure we understand the material. He is the best of the best. If you want to study Ethics take his course.
Don't take him unless you want to fail this class. He acts as "philosopher " lol.
Philosophy was not my #1 choice however Professor Fruncillo made the material easy to learn by relating to every day life and mixing jokes into his lectures. What is is expected is made very clear over the first couple of classes. Prof. Fruncillo is very fair in grading and encourages questions and feedback. Overall great experience!
This guy Rocks! He is funny, enthusiast and always willing to listen to student input! If you like philosophy, this is the guy to take. Love this class!
Prof Fruncillo is passionate about philosophy and this motivates me to learn the subject matter. He makes the class very interesting and entertaining-his jokes are very funny-if you get them.
This Professor is one of the best I have ever had. His ability to capture the interest of his students as we move from each topic is really amazing. He approaches the course with respect and humility, and I really learned a lot from him. I plan on taking everything he teaches at this college.
Totally into this class! The Prof is tall, blonde and brainy! Looks great in a suit!
Lectures are not clear , gives no extra credit and pop quizzes. He's no help at all. I had to drop the course after paying for it. Do not recommend
I love this Professor's teaching style. He always encourages us to think critically, not what to think, but how to think. Very enthusiastic and fair, you can't fail if you actually read the book and take notes. Great Professor! Would take again..
The Prof. really knows his stuff and is always encouraging us to ask questions and challenge the ideas and theories of the philosophers. If you have a real interest in philosophy this is the guy to take. He's also really funny!
Professor Francillo is really one of the best here at the college. He uses humor and concept maps to explain the theories of the philosophers and always listens to our feedback! Make sure you read the book and take notes, because the tests are hard.
Professor Fruncillo is very passionate about philosophy. He knows what he's talking about and his lectures are very easy to understand. It's also best if you read the chapter before heading into class, just for more clarification. Also, pay very close attention in class because he tends to give out pop quizzes. Good luck!
He's funny and knows his stuff but his test are very hard so study! Overall great.
Not a good professor
Pop quizzes, tough exams, no curve or dropping grades, hw after every class
I really had no interest in philosophy, prof. Fruncello makes it so interesting and fun that you will really enjoy coming to his class. Somehow he connects with nearly everyone in the room. Take his class!!
He's very funny and really knows his material. He's helped me understand how important Ethics is for my life and he was always there to help me and other students. He helped me after almost ever class! So far, he is the best professor I've had at this college! I'm taking him for philosophy too.
Prof Fruncillo is a talented and witty teacher. He challenges us to think and he always wants to hear our input. His exams are tough, but if you read the material and take notes you'll do well. His study guides and youtube videos are really helpful too. He really motivated me to learn more about Ethics. Definitely take his classes!!
I think Dr. Fruncillo is a great teacher. He explains everything clearly and is easy to talk to if you have questions. I was a little bit afraid to take Phil. but Dr. Fruncillo has made Phil fun!
Awesome Prof! He's passionate about philosophy and really makes the material in the book interesting. Overall, a great class!
Watch the YouTube videos
Makes class enjoyable.
Horrible teacher, doesn't know how to talk to students. Very rude person. Would definitely not take him ever again. Wouldn't recommend him
Professor Fruncillo is the best teacher I have had at this college. He really knows his stuff and has a great sense of humor. I recommend you take him if your really interested in philosophy. He gives 100% and he expects his students do the same-fantastic lectures!
Prof Fruncilo really makes you think about ethical problems and is really talented at making complex theories clear and interesting. I really love the way this guy teaches-take him for philosophy and ethics!
Dr. Fruncillo is an amazing teacher! He always encourages us to ask questions and think about the theories and he likes to have fun with his students. His way of teaching is kinda laid back, soft spoken, and funny. Definitively take him for Into to philosophy and ethics!
Horrible teacher . Doesn't care about students. Doesn't want to help any of his students, rather seem them fail
Bad teacher . Told me to withdraw from class,didn't want to help me pass or give extra credit
He is a great professor, explains everything clearly and really cares about his students. He goes out of his way to help us understand philosophy. I would take him again-great teacher!
Professor Fruncillo is engaging and enthusiastic. I never took ethics before, but he makes me want to learn more about ethics because he makes it so interesting and enjoyable. He's really very patient, funny and approachable. Love this class!
You either enjoy school or not. If your a diligent student like me (3.6 gpa), then you will enjoy his class, although you have to work for your A, he gives you everything you need you for it. DONT skip class, pay attention, write EVERYTHING he says and STUDY. I actually enjoyed what we learned about. If that's not you, yeah don't take him.
Professor Fruncillo really makes philosophy come alive and he is very patient and clear in his lectures. Great teacher!

Awesome teacher! Take him for Ethics and philosophy!
Professor Fruncillo is an excellent teacher. Philosophy is a complex subject when you read about it in a book, but he explains it very well with clear details so that you can understand it. I am so glad to have him as my teacher and I would recommend anyone take him for philosophy .
Professor Fruncillo really knows how to make Ethics exciting and interesting. He's one of the few profs who asks for our feedback on how to make the class better. His class is one of the few I actually look forward to-take him for Ethics-and he's funny too!
Professor Fruncillo is an amazing teacher. His love for philosophy really inspired me to learn more and he has a great sense of humor. When he talks about Descartes or Marx, you feel like he actually knew these guys. Take him for philosophy and ethics!
He didn't gave extra credit and his lecture was boring.
Prof Frucillo is one of the best profs at this college. He is always willing to help and really wants us to understand what philosophy is about. I'm taking him for Ethics in the Fall.
If ur that person searching for an actual genuine rate, here it is: makes u work, need book,sort of cocky, belittles students,says polished words but actions are different like he seems secretly spiteful? Idk profs need more than just interest in field. We deserve GREAT ones for our $, they're around, so just take 1 u'll def enjoy seeing for 1/2 yr
Prof Francillo is one of the best teachers I've had at this college. He is always willing to help his students and really cares if we learn. I will take him again for his Ethics class-FANTASTIC TEACHER!!
Professor Fruncillo is great - he knows his stuff. He gives you the study guide questions and answers, and gives you the prompts for the essays that are in all exams. It's not an easy, no study class - just basically memorize the test material and you'll pass. Grading is test heavy - if you don't pass the tests you will fail the class.
He really helped me understand why Ethics is so important today and made it fun and interesting. I love this guys teaching style! Take him for Ethics!!
I love this class-this guy is really funny and always tries to help us understand the philosophers we study. His writing is a little sloppy though.
Prof Fruncillo is really one of thee most thoughtful teachers at this college. He let me bring my 4 year old son to class one day when I couldn't get a baby sitter and then he involved him in a philosophy problem -it was amazing! He could even make philosophy fun for a kid!! Take him for philosophy-he's great!!
Professor Fruncillo gives 100% and he expects his students to do the same. He is not an 'easy' teacher, but if you really want to learn philosophy take his class-he is the absolute best! He is always willing to help and gives great study guides and youtube videos-really great!

Prof Fruncillo is a great teacher, his lectures were very interesting and not boring at all, he made ethics interesting. Attend the classes and study for the tests and you will pass. Beware of the pop quizzes though. A highly recommended professor in my book.
Professor Fruncello is one of the best teachers I've had at this college. He was always available after class and during his office hours to help me out and he's very open to constructive feedback-take him!
He is one of the best teachers I've had at this college. He is always ready to help us and his lectures and youtube videos are really amazing! Take him for Ethics!!!
Boring lectures. He's very sarcastic, not in a good way. Worst professor I've had at PCCC hands down.

Professor Fruncillo really listens to our questions and gives very clear answers. He has an amazing understanding of philosophy-you should take him if you want to really learn Ethics or philosophy.
I can't remember being so determined to excel during my entire time at PCCC. I've always had good grades so I can't explain exactly what happened but Dr. Fruncillo lit a fire under me and I was forever changed. The fire is still lit and I will continue to reach for excellence. So for that, I thank Dr. Fruncillo. He is an excellent teacher.
very knowledgeable,Grading is fair, lets you know upfront what he expects and he does not bend. apply yourself do the work and youll be fne. Overall, hes a decent teacher but I wouldnt take him again if not necessary.
make sure you are one of the first ones to respond discussions... if not your post will be totally ignored... class is suppose to be easy reading and discussions about the week reading.. 4 quizzes , the midterm and final.., Dr Fruncillo May be a good Professor... but he made me feel miserable the whole semester thinking I was failing the class
This professor makes you think that he cares but he doesnt.. is an easy class but he confuses the quizzes questions so you never get an A in the quiz.. He is too rough.. as quizzes you are allowed to take midterm twice he did not care about that he just fail my midterm choosing the first score which was 43 long test not enough time to finish it
He knows how to teach his material but the thing is you need to really study to pass his exams. His exams consist of multiple choice a lot of open ended questions and an essay for each exam.
Professor Fruncillo has been the best on-line teacher i have had at this college. His on-line course is filled with interesting videos and his lectures are very clear. i met with him during his office hours and he was very encouraging and helpful. I would take him again -he's really awesome!
Dr. Fruncello really makes philosophy come to life! He's really a dynamic lecturer and very funny. He was always available after class for questions -great Prof-take him for Philosophy!

Professor Fruncillo's on-line Ethics class is the best on-line class I've taken at this college. Everything is organized very clearly and the resources he provides are really helpful. If you're looking for an on-line Ethics class take him-he's the best!
He is a fantastic professor if you want to get an A study before his class because he likes to give quizzes when you are not expecting them.
If you miss 2 weeks of discussion board participation you will fail with this professor. He doesn't want to hear NO EXCUSES! His test are no where near equivalent the reading material. My advice partner up with someone and take the quizzes and test together. You will thank me later in existence!! HARD CLASS.. YOU ARE WARNED!!! Take with someone!!!!
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!!
Professor Fruncillo's philosophy class is one of the most interesting classes I have taken. He mixes humor with his lectures and really knows what he's talking about. Take him for philosophy-he's really great.
He's the best I've had at this college. I really leaned a lot in his class and he's funny too. He dosen't tolerate anyone cheating or disrupting his class.

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.
Professor Fruncillo gives amazing lectures and keeps the class interesting. He is very personable and funny. I would recommend that you take him for Philosophy and Ethics. He knows the material and he is very insightful and helpful after class. He really is the best professor I've had at this college.
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.
Hes a good profesor, his voice tho is kind of quiet and monotoned so its hard for me to stay concentrated in class. he does study guides for each test which is a plus for me.
Lectures can be dry, but professor provides helpful study guides. Unstuck AI and active participation made the class manageable. Worth taking if you put in the work.
Professor Fruncillo is the best philosophy professor I have ever had at this college. He makes complex ideas understandable and shows the relevance of philosophy for the world we live in today. He really cares about his students learning and is always available after class and during his office hours. He is also very funny. .
