He does have a strong accent, but he explains everything so that the concepts can really be understood. The tests are simple (worded exactly as he lectures). I passed with a 100..He is easy and pleasant..TAKE HIM!
I am taking his class last fall semester, it was very interesting, with important details which are easy to handle. He helps you get an A. Considerate and very helpful. I recommend him for others to take philosophy classes with him. I will get Phil 1301 next semester.
I liked the class very much. The materials or readings were helpful. They were presented in simpler way. Exams are multiple choices and easy to handle. Just study what he says, they will come out. Highly recommended teacher.
I took my Intro to Philo with Prof. Coquilla at HCC Northline Campus. Gladly I got an A. He really helped you got good grades. The materials were many but handled very well--the difficulty becomes easy with his presentations. He used materials from many sources, not one book. I recommend this teacher if you are thinking of taking philo subjects.
Does not require to purchase book, he provides all the material, his exams are multiple choice, just study the mat'l and you will pass, have to do shor essay's for extra points and a final essay, he will meet you 1/2 way if you do your part, makes class fun and entertaining, strongly recommend!!
make sure u study for the quizes cuz they do add up- study the notes and u will be fine. make sure u go to class cuz every absence is bad especially if u r tryin to be exempt
Does not require to purchase books. Makes philosophy funny and interesting. I would advise to always go to class because he takes attendance. Gives extra credit randomly and gives you a chance to pick up your grade at the end of semester if he sees you trying. Great teacher if your not that into philosophy he helps you understand it better!

Very Nice Teacher
Prof. Coquilla was definitely an awesome instructor and completely worth it!! Don't think twice about whether to take his class or not because this answer should be YES!! No textbook needed, tests and quizzes were simple (including the final), gives plenty of extra credit, will work with you in every way. He's funny and interesting, too!! Made an A
Prof. Joe is one of the best hidden gems at HCC.I really enjoyed his class. Very interesting. Just pay attention and study the lecture notes given and you will do fine.He works with you in every way he can to help u. He is very fair and gives you every opportunity to succeed. I had him for 1301 and 2306 and loved both classes.Take him, u will enjoy
Mr.joe is very kind teacher. I enjoyed his class very much. it is very helpful class which open your mind. A good grade equal to Hard working. He is good. He is always there for you if you have any questions.
I Love this prof.! I know I was one of the people in class who had a LOT of questions, but he answered almost all of them. He took the time to explain them to the most basic terms. I also had a great time in this class because it wasn't as strict or limited as others. He really does help you to help yourself!
lectures are engaging, he is really clear in dirrections, he tell you exactly what he wants in his papers once you get that your good to go. His quizes are easy and he helps review before a test. clear, easy and good teacher.
He is a very helpful teacher. Understood everything he explained in class and he is very enthusiastic in is lectures. He gives a good amount of extra credit if needed and I highly recommend him to take. Hope he gets a Ethics class at Lone Star.
Mr.Joe was an excellent teacher.
Such a great teacher! I enjoyed taking his class. You won't need a text book, he provided us with handouts & PDF files!
prof jo was excellent! he makes the philosophy sink into you and you will have a straight A in this class with prof jo. Take him plzz
Very Fair instructor and wealth of interesting knowledge of Philosophy. It was never boring for me.
I loved his class and his teaching style. Very straight forward and easy to understand . He gave a lot of extra credit during the course and for perfect attendant. No book is needed cause he will email you the pdf note to print out. There are 3 quizzes, 1 trinal, midterm and final. Test is in mutiple choice format and not hard at all if you study.
Awesome Prof. Patient with students and makes easy to comprehend. Take him
Very good Professor make sure you learn in his class. If you listen to him you will pass every test. Please take him.
He is an amazing instructor. Very fair. If you do your work, you have nothing to worry about. If you fail in the class, you certainly didn't try hard enough.
Great teacher and very passionate on his teachings.
Professor Coquilla is a very awesome person. He's reliable in that if you need extra credit it's given. And you learn more when he lectures in class; gives very simple and smart examples to help you understand the subject.
Awesome Teacher. I argue with him all the time but it was all sake of learning and philosophy. Do all his assignments. His extra credits aren't really all extra credits so do them all. This is one class that you will like coming too.
He is a pretty easy teacher. Very enthusiastic about what he does! I enjoyed his class.
THIS CLASS IS SUPER EASY AND INTERESTING. THE PROFESSOR DEFINITELY KNOWS HOW TO KEEP YOUR ATTENTION. IF YOU FAIL THIS CLASS YOU NEED TO RETHINK COLLEGE.
This is one amazing professor! I'm an engineer major with no interest in this class but I needed it. I learned without trying. He explains everything so well that it'll actually stick to you. Generous with grades of you attend every class and do all the extra credit work (which is simple vocabulary btw). Easy A. Highly recommended!!
I would like to say that anyone who's enrolled or interested in Mr.Coquilla class will have a great learning experience. He takes time to teach and will work hard to get you to understand his curicullum. I was excited to take learn about Philosophy and had a great professor.
Ok, I'm not going to call him easy because it depends on the type of student you are. He is a GREAT professor makes everything clear and understandable. You MUST study & go to class. But, do the extra credits and take good notes and you will make an A. I recommend you take him to really learn about philosophy.
This is an 'easy' class provided you attend class (not mandatory but you receive credit for being there), do all extra credit (easy) and do all of your assignments. Tests are multiple choice plus an essay due the week after each test. You are exempt from the final if you average an A. No textbook required! Thoroughly enjoyed his class.
I had this class last Spring 2012 at HCC Northline Campus. I admired his teaching style and method. The materials were so informative and useful in life. He is so organized, the grading system was very clear and you can predict your grade on how to respond to class requirements. I got an A, got exempted in the final exam Best teacher.
Getting an A is not hard. Keep up with your work and STUDY FOR THE TESTS if you want to exempt from his final. He is a very nice professor. Extremely knowledgeable about the subject. I highly recommend him!
HE teaaches you everything that will on the test he gives grat examples as well if you listen in class and take notes you will pass and just because he gives alot of extra credit doenst mean you should be dependent do your work and cometo class its mandatory the bonus will do something for you but not what you expect so do the main work
Great professor. Make sure to do all the extra credit, every little bit helps. Go to all classes, he gives extra credit for attendance. Essays are ok you dont have to try to hard and study a little for his test especially over his notes, an hour should be enough. Really easy to make an A(I did) loved the class
Amazing Teacher, Very Clear Teaching Style, There is NO way you can fail this class!
It was a privilege to take this class from such a great Professor.I truly appreciated this class and it has already helped make me a better person. I would highly recommend this class. Thank You Professor Coquilla.
Best professor ever. He gives a lot of resources to help you pass the exams, and he is very clear and precise as to what he wants you to learn. Not only is this class super easy, his information sticks with you and you will walk away knowing a lot about philosophy.
Professor Coquilla is one of the best teachers at HCC. I highly recommend his class to anyone taking PHIL 1301. You will actually learn a whole lot from this course. He is very organized and makes his class very interesting. There is absolutely no way anyone should fail as long as you do all your work study for all test!
He is very passionate about Philosophy. I could honestly care less about this class, but I was able to pass his class. He is extremely considerate about grades/gpa's so he gives you opportunities for extra credit to try and raise your grade. Just gotta put time and effort into the class. Take Him!
Prof Coquilla made me value how to think critically, not just to accept anything told to you. Philosophy made me realized that we have meaningful concerns that we took for granted in the past. I like his method and style of teaching. I think he has been successful with that. Great job my professor. Sure i will recommend this class to others.
At first his teaching style was weird, class was all very confused and there were the few students who were acing everything. However it took a while for the class to get use to his style of teaching.Make sure to do ALL the extra credit, seriously all of it!Turn in ALL your work on time, NEVER miss class and you should be fine. Make sure to study!
He was the nicest professor ever. The class was so easy... Take him highly recommended!! Just go to class do all the extra credit and you are going to be fine.
Awsome teahcer! Take it!!
He was a great teacher. Easy pass, just do the extra credit.
Best professor you could ask for! Not only is he passionate about Philosophy, but he's hilarious and makes the course even more interesting than it already is. Honestly this is my first time leaving a comment for any of my professors but Professor Coquilla definitely deserves it! The work isn't hard at all.. just do your part and you'll be good.
Very great professor. Study, Do ALL the extra credit assignments, and attendance is important. If you do all of thee above you will pass with an A
BY FAR, the best professor I have ever had. He is very clear and gives the best explanations of the topics. Show up to class as much as possible because it will pay off in the end. His lectures are NEVER boring either. If you turn in all your work, you will get a good grade.
Easy A
Prof. Coquilla teaching style is very organized and he presents the information in such a way that you are guaranteed to learn. He is very fair in all regards. He's the best ethics professor you can find.
Professor Coquilla is awesome, attend class, he will provide all the reading material. Make sure you do all of the extra credit, follow the reviews, and turn in your work. Very good teaching style.
Professor Coquilla is a great teacher, very hard not to get an A. He explained the material, followed the syllabus and gave plenty of extra credit. His tests can be confusing, but you just have to take the time to STUDY and read. He is funny, gives help and gives attention to this students I had a great time in this class.
very organized proff always on time both in class responds to any questions online and class not boring at all reviews previous class discussions shortly before class as a student just attend class read printouts keep your print outs well in a folder do extra credit and all shall be well thanks proff n definately taking him for Ethics
GOOD CLASS AND PROFESSOR
Professor Coquillas' Classes are very interesting and educational, but at the same time you have fun, because he is a very fanny man. You must have to do all the assignments and attend to classes, but other than that it is an easy A.
I took this class at HCC at the Nortline campus and extremely surprised about how such a dry subject was made interesting and entertaining by this prof. Attendance is mandatory in order to take part in extra credit and to maintain a good understanding of the material. GREAT PROF. WILL RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. !!!!
A lot of reading, do all of the work and you are guaranteed an A!
Awesome professor. Very clear on what is being taught and what you are going to be tested on.Go to class everyday,if you miss a day you will miss alot of information.
He is fair and consistent and if u study and complete lessons u should do good also,he does give a lot of information from text if u haven't questioned it life choices and decisions once living professor Coquilla class I don't know where u were!It was work but I can't pass test fault for not studying!Great
The course was very helpful and informative, I really enjoyed coming to class. His handwriting could have been more clearer,however, the course was beneficial to me.
Awesome!!! Take him!!!
Professor Coquilla is AWESOME! I was a little concerned the first day; I thought he may not be very interesting. Boy, did he prove me wrong! This was quite possibly my favorite class this semester! I recommend it to anyone!
Amazing class! Awesome teacher. Kind and fair. I learned a secret of success. Study for the sake of learning, not for grade. Everything becomes fine. I did a lot of work, but it pays the grade....I am happy because I can say I have philosophy with me after the course. Thanks Professor. Hope I have another class with you...
OMG THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! Hes awesome. Helps you with every question you have. His lectures stay interesting. Everything he discusses in his lectures is on the test. Study is mandatory but not much if you pay attention in class.Gives extra credit and is overall a good person. PERFECT for his position!
The class is interesting and gives you all the materials you need to pass his class.
He's an awesome teacher. Very intelligent. Very informative. I miss your class Sir Joe.
I am happy with my class right now. I feel excited to come to class. I like his approach.
This is a great class to take great instructor.
He is a great professor!!! Take his class you will never regret it.
He is a good teacher and he gives you good notes also gives u a review for his test. This teacher wants you to pass this course with a A and I took this class and pass it with a A!!!!!! Best teacher and helpful too.
I like the new approach Prof Coquilla is introducing right now, the collaborative learning, everyone is involved in class. He has my favorite teacher in HCC so far. I am excited to come to class, for something new I learn in every class.
He's a great proffesor and gives extra credit.. He's also very well organized
Good teachers and really encourages his students to pass his class. Gives plenty of extra credit because he wants you to pass his class. Do all EXTRA CREDIT! It is overwhelmingly easy. Very knowledgeable about his topics.
Great Professor! I took him for PHIL 2306 and he is very inspirational. I love going to his class. He gives extra credit so there is no way to fail. Grade: A! :) You won't regret taking him.
I took Joselito's Phil 2306 Ethics class this Fail 2014 semester and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed his class very much. He is knowledgeable, inspirational, gives extra credit assignments to boost grades and he is there to help you understand the material. He is also very humorous and will make you laugh a lot. I highly recommend him!
Very great Professor, the class is exciting and not boring with extra credit there is no way you will miss an A.
Plenty of extra credit. He likes to take time to get to know his students, which is rare.
A lot of extra credit! Review carefully for the test and do the extra credit, you will be exempted for the final
Coquilla is an Excellent teacher and his class is awesome. I would most definitely take this class again or any other class he teaches. He is a funny teacher and his lectures are good. You have to be prepared to make alot of copies because he teaches with his powerpoints. This class is sure to make you smile and learn at the same time. Great class.
Philosophy can be a difficult subject. I tried hard and did all of the extra credit and got an A. He explains the ideas in a way that is easier to remember. Do all of your HW and extra credit and you'll do fine.
Great Professor.
Wow.....I find it very helpful and my teacher is really, really good. Amazing classes every time.
Try to earn all the extra credit then you can get A without final exam.
Amazing professor! Very organized and easy class. Just attend the lectures and pay attention in class. Gives a lot of extra credit to make up the points lost. Professor Coquilla is hilarious and he makes the class really interesting. I look forward to go to class everyday! :)
Love the class passed with A
Easiest minimester (3 week) I've ever taken. Take him, he is super easy. You will need the book to find answers. He gives extra credit for all units. DO THEM! they are easy and opinion based.
3 tests plus midterm and final. 10 journals, 10 vocab, 2-3 essays, 1 group project (pp & essay), and TONS of extra credit. Very easy assignments, I completed most during lectures as he taught it to us. Do well on the tests and do all extra credit & you DON'T have to take the final! Graded attendance & no textbook- he emails pp notes to print. EasyA
Professor Coquilla is the best professor I have had at HCC. He cares alot about his students making good grades. He knows how to teach so that it can learned. He is very compassionate about a personal situation. He gives alot of extra credit. Everyone in my class made A's and B's. His class is super easy If you show up you will pass for sure.
Great course. Great teaching style, mostly collaborative or team project. He really helps improve your grade. It was an awesome experience.
You have the ability to get an A, but u also have to work for that A. I dreaded taking this class but the professor is very engaging and you want to learn. He is very helpful and makes sure you understand materials. I would definitely take him again. I would encourage anyone that has desire to learn, take his class.
It was an extremely informative class that I'd recommend to friends, family and acquaintances that could be applied in all daily activities.
alot of in class activities ehich makes most of ghe grade, he does a reviews over the test , you may get exempted in finals if you do well during the year. TAKE HIM
Great class. Learning is more important than grades. Higly recommended.
This class was not that bad Kinda interesting. He does make you think it'll be an easy A but you def have to work for it. Tests are a bit confusing. No book but he does make you print a zillion papers which basically adds up to a price of a book. Had to buy ink twice!
One of the few classes where you actually come out having learned something you can apply to the real world. Prof. Coquilla engages the class in a very interactive and entertaining fashion, study, do your work, participate, get an A.
gives a lot of extra credit, if u have an A at the end of semester u don't have to take final, there's one group project and one group 5 page essay.
Easy easy professor! Gives a lot of little assignments but also gives you all the info you need to do them. One group PowerPoint and essay. Covers everything that will be on test. Gives a lot of extra credit. Take him! A lot of work but easy.
Take him I've taken 2 other prof for this course and he tops them all he is easy but you have to keep up with going to class and listening to lectures unless you have good discipline and can study all the material he gives you- thats the only two way you'll pass by doing either or...
I took Professor Coquilla in the summer and it was not easy. He gave out a lot of assignments. You don't have time to study for the exams or midterms. The extra credit did not help me at all. I did every extra credit assignment he offered and still managed to get a B. If you are happy with your final grade you don't have to take the final.
I really enjoyed his class, be ready for group projects most of the class is done with a group that he chooses for you. I would take again.
Prof Coquilla is very organized teacher I ever have. All things are planned well. He returns assignments on time. Just follow the guide then you can get A's in your papers/essays. I recommend him...
awesome teacher! i really like his method. you will really learn.
The professor is great at explaining his lectures and uses good examples to fully understand the subject.
Great professor and easy to understand the lectures.
You'll never be bored in his class. He loves his job and you can tell. He gives plenty of extra credit and puts you in a group to do a powerpoint project. The group idea is great because you actually communicate with your classmates. He hardly has any absences because he's entertaining. Also if you study the review then you'll ace the quizzes.
Great class
All course materials he emails to you and you print. He is a great teacher. Easy A if you listen in class/study/do the work! Gives reviews for test. . A lot of work done in group/groupprojects. 3Tests/1Midterm/1Final-Final optional. Very kind,positive. Gives a lot of extra credit for dif papers/homework. Extra 10pts if you never miss a class.
Great Guy, A lot of easy work plus extra credit. Impossible to fail his class. Very organized and explains everything multiple time.
He is amazing person and great professor, he don't fail any student unless if they don't really wanna pass. Tone of extra credits and easy assignments. DO NOT MISS THIS EASY A GUYS.
The professor does make philosophy fun and provides lots of extra credit to where if you do all of it you can be exempt from the final. He is VERY unorganized, however, and does not understand how to make items available on blackboard easily. To pass with an easy A: Complete everything as you receive it - do not trust the deadlines provided.
This was by far the greatest phil class. amazing prof. he lectures really well and helps you understand what you need to know! his class is easy if you do the work and pay attention.
Take him! Just be ready to print out assignments. But he is the one of the best professors at HCC
Best professor I have ever had, love his lectures, funny, involves the entire class. gives plenty of extra credit, extra point for perfect attendance. Easy A+, highly recommend this professor.
Took this professor to satisfy philosophy prereq. Drove from Sugar Land to Northline campus every week for his class. Awesome professor. Follows syllabus/calendar, but will let you know if anything changes. Makes philosophy not so daunting. He's engaging, professional, and has a great sense of humor. Def made the long drive each week worth it!
Mr. Coquilla was truly an amazing Professor. I was so hesitant about philosophy. However he made it so approachable and easy to understand. Definitely enjoy the group work. His exams are just like his reviews. Attendance is mandatory. I had an A with out taking the final exam! Do all your work so you can skip your he final. Easy to follo
Mr. Coquilla was an awesome teacher. Some things were a little hard to understand and relate to , but he found a way to put into layman's terms that anyone could understand. He has a quirky sense of humor that matches his personality. GREAT TEACHER!!! Would take him again and will refer him to other students as often as possible.
Mr. Coquilla made what was difficult to understand learning philosophy not only relatable but enjoyable. He is funny and fair in his grading.
The class was fun the professor was funny but the class was confusing to me ( a bit unorganized). We get lots of extra credit but somehow after doing it all but 1 my grade was still not as high as I expected. I would take him again though!
Mr. Coquilla is a very special teacher. I enjoyed his class, everyday I would look forward to learning something new. Best advise is to make sure you understand the syllabus and you follow it to the T. You will NOT regress taking his class, even if you need to commute to another campus, do it.
Mr. Coquilla is such an amazing teacher. This man is caring and always in good spirit. He has a great personality, and has the passion to teach. Take his course, you won't regret it. Best of luck.
Professor joe is so awesome! I definitely recommend for everyone to take him. He is always in a great mood, and he is very nice!
great class. The quizzes are easy. The exam has quiz questions and some extra. Exam is not hard. He gives you assignments which are easy. Got group work which is easy. Essay is only 2 pages and simple. Show up to class cause attendance matters. Easy A if you show up to class and turn in the work on time. Many extra credit work to help your grade.
His awesome, come to class do Your work and you will get an A , he give a lot of extra credit so theres no excuse to Fail this class . Quizzes and test come From notes he gives and lectures make sure you attend class .
Easy grader
Very broad overview of philosophy with the majority of focus on early thinkers. Just pay attention to handouts and do the extra credit even if you don't think you need it.
Took him for a summer 5wks course. Great professor. Love the fact that he does group work. He breaks down the lectures into easy terms of understanding. No book needed so you save money, he gives you printed out packets of the assignments. Test are online.
I took this class in the summer!!! Great class. Professor knows his stuff!!!! A lot of group work. A lot of easy readings. I Definitely would recommend you to take him for this class!
so easy Professor. He will give you the grade before the final. If you think your grade is good, You dont need to take the final exam. By the way everything online( exam, quiz, discuesstion)
Wow! Pro J is awesome. Follow his instructions and do homework & quizzes and you will easy get A!!!! Extra credit has a lot!!!!
Trust me he is amazing you will laugh and enjoy coming to class its super chill and you just relax and learn instead of getting stressed about taking exams or quizzes he basically helps you answer the questions in class. He shows videos and very interactive with the class where you want to get involved and share your opinion.
Show up ,do the work, listen, and keep the hand out along with other quizzes and test.
He is one of the best. I really enjoyed his class and the way he related philosophy with common life scenarios. All course work is done on canvas online discussions, quizzes, etc. There is no book, everything that is needed to succeed is on canvas or is handed out. This class is an easy A!, Quiz reviews and clear explanation
Professor Coquilla was an amazing professor and I would definitely take his class again. There is no reason why you should fail his class. He gives LOTS of extra credit. His tests are just like his reviews. No textbook needed, everything is on canvas. Attend class, complete assignments and take advantage of the extra credit and you will do great.
Professor Coquilla is very clear on his expectations from students from a beginning. He also provides a grading scale chart for students to fill it in as they receive their grades therefore students can keep up with their grades, instead of waiting for professor to provide them. I strongly recommend this class to any students with a busy schedule.
Amazing professor! Plenty of extra credit. The lectures are everything you need to complete the assignments. He makes ethics fun with personal storys and relatable examples. His hand writing is a little sloppy but just pay attention and youll do great. I loved this class! Ethics shows us why we cant toe the line on right and wrong. Learned a lot
He is an amazing professor, funny, passionate and easy to understand, 2 weekly assignments, some quizzes final exam optional depending on your grade. you want it easy, take this professor.
Awesome professor! Funny! Helpful! Interesting classes gives a lot extra credit no reason why you should fail his class
Effort is one of the main keys to pass this class, but overall its an easy class to pass!!!!
I Really enjoyed the class , he made it very easy to understand each topic. If you pay attention ... you will pass .
This class could be easy but to me it was not. If you DO NOT like computer work (e-text, canvas, online submissions, YT) do not take. If you like physical book work &reviews &powerpoints with outlines to fill in for your tests do not take him. I don't think he is a bad professor his methods are just not how I learn. (hope it helps someone like me)
He is an amazing teacher. Its an easy A. Just show up to class and do the assignments. He also gives extra credit. You also become drawn in philosophy and he does little jokes that help with his lectures. I would totally take him again for a 16 week next time. I sadly took a 5 week course.
Take him. This is a easy class & becomes interesting as you learn and can add your thoughts. The work is basic towards the subject as well as the grading. Ask questions if you dont understand but everything is understandable. it would be mistake not to take. Yes theres a little reading each week in summer but not over whelming and tests were online
Take this class. He is very good, gives you every piece for success. Yes it's mostly online but he does provide resources in class as well, I think you will be okay if you just put in the work.
I love this class!! I would totally take it again just to be in his class. This class is not boring at all and some stuff are funny. He also helps you a lot and since he receives a lot of emails it is better to ask for help in person. The lectures are great. I put mandatory attendance because that is extra credit and you don't want to miss that!
He is a wonderful professor if you do what he requires you will have no questions and will pass... He give you so many chances with extra credit trust do it all it makes a difference. But dont think you can just get by you have to put in the work in order to pass. I would love to take him again.
Sets clear expectations from the very first class- not doing well it is entirely on the student. Easy guideline to follow and pass; complete weekly assignments including essays, discussions/vocab &quizzes. His love for philosophy shines through with his interesting lectures and engaging comparisons. I have never had a life-changing teacher like him
Great professor, second time taking him. Gives a lot of extra credit oppurtunities. Easy assignments take him you wont regret it.
Awesome teacher! Gives everyone a chance and several opportunities to pass! Show up and do the work!
Help is always available when you need it! I am happy with ProfJoe!
This professor is great . He gives out extra credit, there is no reason to fail him. He is very easy . Everything is mostly online and If u have an A throughout the semester you wont have to take the final exam.
Professor Coquilla is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had in college, not only he takes the time to explain, but also to help you out the most he can, I would HIGHLY recommend you to take him if you want to learn and have a good grade.
Professor Coquilla is an excellent teacher/person! The class is super easy but yet you have to do all the work and he gives extra credit. If by the end of the semester you have an A , you won't need to take the Final !
I recently finished taking Phil 1301 and i have got to say that its a pretty easy A class. Just follow the instructions and there is no way for anyone to fail his class honestly . He gives out extra credit and the midterm is online and the final exam is optional if you already have an A before the Final exam ,you dont have to take it :)
Professor Coquill or Joe as he calls himself, was an Amazing instructor. His humor made the class a relaxed environment. He always thoroughly explained the assignments. He give lots of extra credit opportunities. Impossible to fail. He teaches exactly what are on the test. All the power points are accurate and are exactly what was taught in class.
I strongly recommend Prof. Coquilla. He is very organize with his work. His class consist of modules that are easy to work with. He explains the material very well and gives a lot of extra credit. So, even if you are doing poorly, the extra credit can back you up. Very easy A if you show up and follow instructions and deadlines. Great senseofhumor!
Such an amazing professor! He does everything possible to ensure you pass his class. His in class lectures fully prepare you for homework assignments and quizzes. He has a great sense of humor! He gives you all the tools you need to pass the class and offers several options for extra credit. I HIGHLY recommend taking his course.
Think he is one of the good professors at HCC. If you attend the class and do homework, you will pass easily. There are lots of extra credit, do it! :) Quizzes were not difficult, and you can find the answers through the powerpoint or the materials he gave us. I would definitely take his class again if I have a chance.
Great class and professor! I highly recommend this class you would have to be lazy to not pass. Hes a very understanding teacher and explains everything well. I have nothing bad to say about him. 2 assignments every week, and extra credit every 3 weeks. The whole semester. Its is not hard at all he goes over all assignments before they are due.
it was a great class, loved the way he applied life"s experience to the teaching made it more easy to understand and relate to. attend class regularly and there is no way you wont get a good grade. he is down to earth and ready to listen all the time. never thought i would enjoy philosophy but i did, he loves to teach and that's awesome! take him!
Everything that is given is in Canvas. All the test are in Canvas. Do the work and keep a good binder there is credit for it. There is extra credit given when it is time for the test. Do the work and you will pass. The books for this class he will post them in Canvas. The power point are so posted in Canvas.
I usually fall asleep in class , he kept me interested, we laughed everyday he made that class fun and it was a very welcoming environment, instructions
Professor Joe is a good teacher, all of his test and work is on canvas. As the class progresses the work and test does get a little harder. If you do not pass his class it is because you are not trying. Do not trust the grade that is posted on canvas though, because your true grade will be about 7 points lower. Take pics of the notes on the board.
Just take him ! best professor ever !
Ok, so I dont really do this but I feel obligated to let you guys know that this professor is really good. LISTEN! Just do the discussions, journals, and quizzes(which you dont even have to study for; trust me) and you will make an easy A. The midterm and final are super essay and again, you dont need to study for that either. He is the best
Easy A for an online class, gives full credit on almost all assignments. Very easy material but really makes you think. Most quizzes and exams can be found on quizlet, but you need to think on your own with discussions, journals, essays and vocabulary but they're very easy to complete. Gives good feedback on your assignments.
One of the best professors HCC has to offer. He is really good at explaining the material and very passionate about philosophy. Thank you Prof. Joe for making your lectures fun.
The best professor ever. He cares about his student not like the others. Ive learned a lot of things from him. Hes so kind.
Professor Coquilla was a wonderful instructor! I absolutely recommend taking his class! There was two assignments due by the end of each week which he would help on during class. Very easy A. Also had some good jokes here and there
I just passed Philosophy 1301 with A+(107%). Professor Coquilla is easy grader. There is lots of extra credit. Even you did bad on exam, its OK. Those extra credit will raise your score up.
nice professor, easy A
Definitely one of the best professors out there. His assignments are very clear just follow the instructions, use the resources he provides they very helpful and pay attention to his lectures(they are actually very interesting and entertaining). Make sure you SHOW UP TO CLASS!!Tests aren't difficult, DO THE EXTRA CREDIT, it can guarantee you an A
My favorite teacher of all time. His lectures are amazing! He talks about his wife a lot and is very funny. I took his ethics class years ago and changed my major shortly after to philosophy because of him. As long as you show up to class, take notes, and pay attention to his lectures then youll understand the assignments easy. (2/3 per week)
Do the work that he has for you. Really essay. Lots of extra credit.
He is THE BEST professor I have ever taken. You learn so much from him and even makes philosophy so intresting and awesome. However, attendance is a major importance in his class. If you miss more than 4 times he will give you an FX, he also gives out homework. If you do the homework, its an easy A. A very VERY great professor/class!
take him his assignments are clear., there is extra credit opportunities, if you read and study the assignments you will make an A
One of the best Ive ever had, he cares about his students. Do all your work and should get an A!
hes amazing !! Real easy A!! Even with this whole transitioning online because of the covid, he managed to make virtual class meeting and assignments very easy!
Seriously amazing! Show up to class and you'll definitely pass. I finished the semester with a 105%. He gives so much extra credit and exams and quizzes are so direct! Absolutely loved the class!
Professor Coquilla has been one of the best Professor Ive had in college. Hes an amazing teacher and always answers emails fast and helps a lot. He makes work really easy and always gives good feedback. I wish all my teachers were like him, hes nice and caring. I would totally miss his class and without doubt take his class again.
This professor is very good with his lectures! He has a clear grading criteria, there are five modules and in each modules three week and in each week some assignments that are not difficult to be turned in( there are few assignments per week, it does not take long to do it). For every module he as an extra credit essay with a minimum of one page.
Good professor, he gives a lot of extra credit and good feedback. Easy A class.
Easy A; however you cannot be absent occasionally because that can lower your grades. He gives PowerPoint videos; whereby you dont need to get a textbook.
I loved this class. Professor Coquilla is a fun but also knowledgable teacher. I truly enjoyed the assignments. Quizzes and test are easy but get ready to read, read, read for your weekly assignments and journal entries. Took him online and received an A+.
He is an easy grader. I wish all of my writing teachers were like him. Just turn in all the discussions, extra credit essays, and journals on time and you will get full points. For quizzes and exams, most of the answers were on Quizlet. You do have to think hard about the journals, essays, and discussions. Love this guy!! easy A! U won't regret it.
If you have the chance to enroll in his class do it. This class was easy for mini winter class. He provides everything you need to do assignments, quizzes(quizlet), tests, and journals. Turn in everything on time and you get full credit, and best feedback ever. You wont get negative feedback period. Hes amazing and a GPA saver. Lots of read too!
The professor is easy. if miss class and you will struggle a little to do the assignment as he helped step by step for assignment and discussion as well as exam it was a flex class so had an option for the recording of class which he does so when you do the assignment you have class notes handy
Gives extra credit assignments. Must read the modules and articles he gives. He is very accessible, gives wonderful guidance and has great dialogue. I would definitely take him again and would highly recommend him. Lovely professor.
If youre taking philosophy next & are wondering which professor to choose, choose him!! Its difficult not to pass his class. He gives extra credit, gives you great resources to complete homework & tests. I took him online & he made this online semester a breeze. Hes also very nice!! Highly recommend.
I took this class as an online class, he is a great proffessor and gives lots of homework but easy to follow if you pay attention to his lectures and make good use of the PowerPoint. If you miss an assigment, there is always extra credit to make up for it.
Professor Joe is a simple and straightforward teacher. Completely all assignments and quizzes and you will pass this course. Great for GPA push as well. Writing is required but its not hard assignments at all!!! Take this course
He is a overall great professor he explains things to your understanding.
Easy class!
Absolutely loved this professor! I personally did not really pay the most attention to his lectures (although I should have), but I did use the readings and videos assigned to us. Though there was a good amount of paper writing, his class was very insightful and he was very helpful with feedback on papers and discussion posts.
A lot of work to complete in a summer semester! But this professor grades easy and gives extra credit. Making an A is easy to do in his class. 1 quiz, 1 vocab paper, and 2 journals due weekly. The assignments are interesting and require you to think, but this is the easiest its going to get for a philosophy class. Take him, you wont regret it.
Professor Coquilla, lectures with the interest of his student as a priority. His class in Summer like any other Summer class has lots of work keep up with but the good thing is that he gives you all the information, notes, PowerPoints and videos to aid you and lots of extra credit opportunities. He is a great teacher.
Professor Coquilla was a very good lecturer and made us understand how to the homework by going in depth on how to do it. Very good class and I would recommend this Professor to anyone who would be taking PHIL 2306 (the class I took with Professor Coquilla) or any other class he teaches
Overall this professor was great it is a simple class as long as you do the work, its easy to understand and the assignments are all self explanatory he breaks down each assignment would definitely recommend his class its a easy A if you try
I highly encourage you to take this professor. He teaches because he loves teaching, it doesnt feel like its his job. It is easy to understand if you go to class every day. He guide you through the assignments. All he really wants is to have his students think and be philosophers themselves. I would love to take his class again.
I enjoyed the class.
Professor J is awesome! easily my favorite class I've taken. You have two assignments every week but they're not hard. He gives you all the info you need for each module and a review for each test. He has a strong accent but he's always willing to reexplain if you don't understand something.
Really really tough grader soo much more work than all my other 8 week classes. Definitely would NOT recommend.
He is a great kind hearted Professor. His curriculum is very organized with everything easy to follow. Great for those with a busy schedule. He gives a lot of extra credit so there is no excuse you should not do well. I learned a lot from his class and I hope future students will do the same. If you have an issue he will work with you. Good luck!
Professor Joe cares about his students success and is very funny and relatable during his lectures. He is very straightforward since the first day of class until the last day
Great professor! He gives you your expectation and what he covers in class and will ask for HW and tests.
Great professor, easy class
Great professor! Cares about his students.
DO NOT take as an Online Anytime course. All of his 5 Star ratings seem to be for his In Person class. The amount of work given in his Online Anytime course is ridiculous. I have NEVER had a class where so much work was given. It is not appropriate for a 3 hour credit course. Probably getting an A, but I absolutely hated this class.
Lots of work for a summer class but not hard. There was quizzes, essays, and discussions due every week. He's not a hard grader at all and definitely recommend him. I took this class online and wished I could've taken him in person. There's also lots of extra credit opportunities. Easy A.
This professor was straightforward yet easygoing and understanding. He made studying philosophy enjoyable. Everything is structured clearly and you can calculate your grade. The tests are easy because they are similar to the reviews. You will have two to three assignments per week and he has no problem going over anything. Should be an easy A.
Quizzes/exams more or less on quizlet and on the slides. Very easy grader on other assignments. Even for a quickpaced 5 week summer course you can get by with like 1 hour of work per day. There's extra credit so i've been sitting at a 110% in the class over half way thru the session
8wk online. 5 modules total. 1 quiz, 1 discussion, & 1 journal due every module. extra credit assignments are included in every module. 1 midterm & final. quizzes & exams are VERY very easy. his class is set up highly organized and well-structured. very easy to manage in 8wk's w/lots of free time so it'll be even easier in 16wk. take 4 an easy A!!
By far my best professor ever! Thank you for making Philosophy a fun experience!!
If you do your work and turn in your assignments on time, there is no way you could fail this course. The exams are very easy if you read your materials. Such an amazing and down to earth professor!
This professor makes out time for his students, gives extra credits and nice individual-tailored feedback after grading each assignment. You only just have to study the text as is normal for every philosophy course. Overall, he is a generous grader and a great instructor. Just follow his directives diligently and you'll be good.
One of the best teachers you could take because you will learn without the unnecessary stress that other teachers put you through. He is approachable and always ready to help you without judgement. 100% Recommend him!!!
Prof Joe is the best! Lectures are great. He has his own lecture youtube videos. Easy to follow. Rubrics are clear. Highly recommended.
Yes, I have him in my Philosophy class this summer. It was short but have great lessons learned. Assignments were done in the classroom. Great experience.
Professor Joe is straightforward and makes philosophy fun. With clear expectations, easy exams, and optional study tools like unstuckstudy, you can coast to an A in this class.
In order to be successful in this course or any other course that he offers, attendance is key. So, he will basically lecture his expectations of how you should turn in said homework. So, if you feel like you may miss class make sure you communicate that with him. I didn't think that I would do as good as I did.
TAKE HIM! YOU WONT REGRET IT. HIS CLASS FILLS UP FAST SO SIGN UP ASAP
He is very clear on his assignment and as long as you follow instructions and submit them. There is no way you can fail.
Professor Joe Coquilla is an engaging instructor who incorporates discussion assignments, journal writing, and essays to promote critical thinking and self-expression while demonstrating his love of teaching and genuine concern for his student's success and development.
Teaching was amazing and engaging. He makes the class look and feel very understanding from how his lectures are organized and his good communication.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! Hands down the best class I have taken. He is so helpful and does all the work with you during class. Very easy if you pay attention to him. I would retake him if I could. Amazing class very easy and not difficult at all.
Prof Joe, is a wonderful teacher. He makes sure that he explains everything in detail and to your understanding. He also gives homework according to what he teaches and n
As long as you follow his lessons then you will have A's maybe high B's in this class. He makes it extremely easy to understand, and he does give feedback to the work you turn in. Attendance is mandatory and graded, and he also does a few extra credits. Overall, this was a great and easy class to take.
10/10 EASIEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN! 3 week minmester was not bad you would think its a big work load but very doable and the proffesor is the sweetest and most caring teacher ever. You cannot fail this class. Every got a 98-100 course grade. No brainer take this class the teacher is amazing
Profesor Coquilla is amazing teacher he makes sure we understand the lecture and is always in a good mood to teach! I thank him to take time out of summer to teach us! Also his textbook is amazing him writing it himself made it more interesting sharing his thoughts through a textbook really made it more engaging.
Just be prepared to listen. Take the notes he gives you, but incorporate your own answers. Do your reviews. It's an easy course.
The professor explains complex ethical theories clearly and makes abstract concepts easy to understand. Their teaching style encourages open discussion and critical thinking, which makes the class engaging. Overall, I would take this class again if i could.
Took this online but the professor is actually amazing. He sends such considerate and detailed feedback from our assignments and it has personally motivated me to become more educated in the course. The effort and work put in will never go unnoticed.He's passionate and invested in the course, my only regret is not having him in person!
It was an okay class, not too hard but glad it's over. He's a great person but for someone who considers themselves a philosopher, he will take off points if he doesn't agree with you. Not the most philosophical if you do that but he still gives great insight and wants the best for everyone. Not worst but okay.
Professor Coquilla is a great teacher, his material is excellent and also he cares about you understand everything, he feedback is very insightful. Take a class with him!
Excellent class. Easy to follow. Great reading authored by him and several video lectures provided in all modules. Got excellent feedback in all assignments.
I recently decided to go back to school to get my BS, and this was my first class requirement. This class and this professor were perfect for getting my feet wet. The only way you can fail this class is by doing nothing. He provides lecture notes, PowerPoints, study guides, and keys. He is fantastic when it comes to feedback.
Professor Coquilla is awesome. He gives detailed feedback on the journals and discussion. Very disciplined in grading on time. Provides excellent course material. Overall it was a great experience.
Awesome professor! took him for a mini summer. There's a lot to read, he does provide YouTube video and articles for assignments but it's a lot. I'll admit it's an interesting subject and he uses his own book which we don't have to pay for. He's also helpful/understanding and responds timely. If you're willing to do the work you'll pass with an A+.
Took Phil2306 in a 5-week course, which was extremely fast-paced & involved a ton of reading. He was quick to respond to questions & was flexible with deadlines. His exams were based on the quizzes taken throughout the semester, but in a different order. His feedback after every assignment was very positive & inspirational. Would take again 10/10!
Great Philosophy teacher. Love his authored book because it is easy to follow. Just follow directors in making the weekly assignments. You are in good hands. Philosophy is just made easy with Prof. Joe.
10/10. One of the best professors I had this semester. His own textbook and his lectures are very good and detailed. Assignments are easy if you take the time to understand and do them.
Great teacher and teach in a simple style so that you can understand clearly.
Clear expectations/grading criteria. Excellent feedback. 5 modules each w/ vocab, journal, discussion, short essay, quiz, plus midterm and final. No lockdown/webcam. Assignments open/close on a schedule to keep work manageable. Can be tough concepts, but multiple alternate/optional resources are provided. Great prof! He tries very hard to give A's.
Loved his class. Concepts can be challenging, but he makes it easy with his videos and other outside resources. Assignments open on a schedule so you can't work ahead, but he's an easy grader. Keep a steady pace, do the work, and you'll get an A.
This class was great, there's a lot of reading but if you stay on top of things it's not bad. There's at minimum two assignments due each week. No lockdown browser or webcam. The tests seem long but are over everything you've been discussing the previous weeks. He gives great and timely feedback on all assignments. I would take again!
