presents a lot of information. tough class but you get out what you put into it

He is tough...totally tore apart the draft for the paper I wrote for the class... he marked it up so much I thought the guy must have stock in a red ink company! But his class was the only one that challenged me that semester, and that I am thankful for.

Tough tests. Not impossible and he allows oppertunity to make up points. Very good lecture. Really makes you think. Does not tolerate non-adult behavior. Nor does he tolerate ranters. Only bad thing is he is very busy and not much of a help out of class.

He can be tough, but he's good. You get whatever you earn in the class. I learned a lot.

He's very hot!! He's very stict. He doesn't like anybody coming in late. If you want to pass you'll show up to class, on time.

Dr. Ferraiolo presents his criteria in a very rigid, yet well-organized format; one can expect many hours of open-minded study for any of his courses. Despite his in-class demeanor, he is in actuality a very kind man. I recommend him without hesitation.

He is soooo HOT.

Very tough, very fair, very strict, very clear. There is a lot to be learned in his classes if you want to. Oh, and he's GORGEOUS.

smartest man at delta. awesome class. changed my life. he makes fun of stupid people. makes you think for yourself. huge arms and ugly pants. i love him and am petrified of him at the smae time. drinks soda continually and relates everything to star trek.

Very knowledgeable and intelligent in all subject matters taught. I've taken several of his courses. Does well at getting across very complicated, thought-provoking material. Strict in class rules due to subject matter. If you're mature, you get it.

Great teacher. Hes an ass but knows what hes doin and teaches well if you can handle it.

A tough teacher for a tough class. Logic seems a tougher class than most at Delta, so expect to study, work hard, and come to class. HW policies are easy, so spend as much effort as it takes to do well on exams!

Learn a lot from his class. VERY difficult grader, but very interesting.

Dr. F is a tough but a fair teacher. He is very clear in his expectations of students, is well organized, very well spoken, and extreamly knowledgeable in this subject matter. He is an awesome teacher and is a great lecturer. He might seam "mean" but he really does have a good sense of humor.

Don't expect to pass by slacking & not reading or studying. As for his attitude, he's very serious about his job, & doesn't take crap. His sense of humor is rare but when it shows up he's funny. Learn what you can from Dr. F.; he's probably the best professor @ Delta...

Dr. Ferraiolo is extremely serious about his classes. DON'T take this class unless you are serious. He is very tough, and will make fun of you if you are dumb! But if you are a serious student, this class (all of his classes) is WONDERFUL. He is a great teacher.

Dr. Ferraiolo is definitely one of the best profs at Delta. Great lectures, not "tough" on essays/paper, just tells it like it is (like most profs should). He can be a pompous ass sometimes, but his sexiness and intelligence makes class bearable. Only take this class if you need it.

Dr. F is no-nonsense. He is smart and cockey. I dropped his class becuase I could not keep up on the reading for the test, I had 17 units at the time. Essays not that hard, you just have to do the HW.

He thinks the sun shines out of his bum and probably enjoys winking at himself in the mirror, but is an excellent professor nonetheless. He does a good job of teaching difficult material and providing lots of helpful examples and analogies to make everything more clear. Still a huge jerk, though. NOT for slackers or the light-hearted.

I have taken three of the four courses taught by Dr. Ferraiolo. I found him to be a fair teacher, extremely knowledgeable in the subject matter, interesting, witty and likeable. Dr. Ferraiolo is one of the few teachers I respect for their intelligence and skill. He is an excellent lecturer and gets across very difficult subject matter. Because

One of the best teachers I had. He can be a hardass at times.... but come on, stop walking into class late and he won't have a problem with you! He teaches precisely and excellently, and is more than willing to help out during office hours.

Had him for both Intro to Philosophy (Logic) and Ethics. Very good classes at a good difficulty level. Both were interesting, fun, and excellent.

I have him for Intro to philososphy and he's great! I never get bored in that class and he's always making funny comments. The people that think he's bad maybe shouldn't be in that class or in college at all.

He is a great professor! Besides the way he teaches he is very handsome and his smile makes class interesting.

He's an awesome teacher. He knows the material, he equally argues both sides of the subject, and doesnt discriminate on either side. unless you're a retard. then he punks you! Its the best class i've ever taken.

Fairly easy, but he doesn't care about the students at all. Takes his class and himself too seriously. Come on, it's just philosophy.

He is a very wonderful teacher. He makes the class fun and entertaining. He does have his moments but other than that he is awsome!

Dr. F is awsome in his class. He makes the class actually fun and not boring like most teachers do. If his classes were to be boring then that's when his good looks would come in handy because he is a very handsome teacher.

umm..good teacher

He is ok and teaches the class fairly good.

he is super hot stuff and a complete fox.

good teacher.

True, I struggled in his class, but he was always there to help when you needed it. He does come off highly opinionated and very full of himself, but he is one of the best teachers I have had only because he tries to get very hard subject matter to make sense as easily as possible for the students.

Dr. Ferraiolo is a very difficult teacher. However, he's clear and comprehensive, and teaches at a level that a college student should be able to live up to. If you can't survive in his class, you are likely not ready to transfer to the university level. And after all, community college is there to prepare transfer students for the work at a university. He is quite proficient and the best teacher I have had the pleasure to learn from at Delta.

all I have to say is that you need to study if you want to be in this class. He is full of himself but also there are many girls in college that are full of themselves too. It is true, if people can't handle this then they shouldn't transfer to a university. He is a good teacher but all you have to do is read!!!!!

He is hard but his expectations are clear and he's fair. There were some people in the class that I know to be complete idiots who don't belong in college. They complained about him but what can be expected from people who go rejected from the special olympics.

great teacher, but real jerk. it seems like he hates everyone including the students. His teaching style and techniques are some of the best in the school though.

I think he kicks ass personally. He's a no **** kind of guy, I dig that.

His lectures are well planned and thought out, but I'm amazed he can actually make it into the classroom given the size of his ego. You'd think he'd get stuck in the door. If you actually do the reading and pay attention you'll do well in his class, as long as you can put up with the self-worship of his own greatness.

I had him about 5 years ago. Yes, he probably needs sensitivity training. I think a girl with an intelligence and tenacity to match his may cure him. ----I actually loved the class. It challenged me and I continue to challenge myself in this discipline. --I was one of the few who earned and A.

Great teacher and nice guy. Clear and concise in his instruction and expectations. Highly intelligent. Very self-confident (it's attractive on him). Good analogies. He appears to be over-qualified for Delta College. One wonders why he remains there. One also wonders why he is still single!!! Dr. F???

Very smart teacher, who always wants to be right and shut you down hahaha ! No talking and he hates cheater. He always goes around the class to check. If you do, he'll kick you out of school. Quizes and tests are ok, you have to read all the texts. A essay at the end. If you're not doing it a month ahead, you fail.

Teaches like he enjoys his job. He is very thorough and precise about the subject matter. He may seem intimidating, but don't let that scare you. If you talk to him you'll find that he is only interested in your success as a student. After learning philosophy, it will help you understand life better, and this is by far the best reward to any class.

Impressive lecturer (except the clearing of the throat all the time); impressive vocabulary; demanding but reasonably so; exceptional ability to translate a student's confusing, often murky question/thoughts into clear/concise questions or ideas. Could be friendlier but then he wouldn't be Dr. Ferraiolo!

Dr. Ferraiolo was a great professor. He is extremely intelligent and does a great job of explaining the subject matter. His class was definitely hard and the essay took many hours to write. Make sure you do your rough draft and get his feedback! Trust me on this. Don't miss a single class, you will be missing out on a lot of notes. He's also cute!

Very clear and to the point with his lectures. The only reason you wouldn't be able to keep up is if you're hung over or an insomniac. As for his ego, he's just a non-bs kind of dude which comes across as arrogant. Get over it, he knows what he's talking about and you don't, so don't pretend to and you'll avoid being trampled.

He does show major "tude", however he is helpful if you know what he (and yourself)is talking about! This class takes a lot of studing, and dedication to understand what it all means. Too easy to get lost in text, USE the CD ROM!!

A good professor with great lectures but he requires too much for an introductory philosohpy course at a community college. There are no writing or english prerequisites yet he is more critical than any of my English professors have been and will fail you if your final isn't written to his standards. Too much trouble for fill in the blank credits.

He is a very down to business teacher, but I would be too if I was philosophizing as much as he was. A lot of reading is required. There is a major essay due at the end of the semester and he tells you that you will NOT write it the night before and get an A. I did it and got an A....HAH!

THIS TEACHER WAS HOT! HE HAD THESE EYES THAT JUST LOOKED DEEP INTO YOU, STERN.. SEXY. OH, HIS CLASS WAS EASY. JUST DO YOUR WORK AND STUDY. EASY GRADER FOR HMWK. I COULD TEACH HIM TO DRESS IF HE TEACHES ME LOGIC.. BUT I WOULD TAKE HIS CLASS. HIS SERIOUS. HE DOESNT PLAY. DONT SHOW UP LATE, HE GETS ANGRY, DONT WANT TO SEE HIM ANGRY.

He's an awesome professor. My favorite professor of all time. Had him a couple of years back. He is smart, makes sense, is interesting and interested in the subject. He wants you to learn what he's teaching, and he's not afraid to put people in their place for asking things they shouldn't, or not making sense. Funny guy.

Really sarcastic, some people take it the wrong way. If your not interested in this subject, do not take this class, you have to want to learn. which you should, because you pay to go Delta. Cute.

First and foremost I am not a guy. In fact some of us who attend your classes are women. Very smart ones too! Ones who go on to earn 5 college degrees. If it wasn't for Professor Ferraiolo stern attitude and tough grading policy I would not have gotten through college nor would I have achieved so much! Thanks Dr. Ferraiolo :)

I had Dr. F for logic and intro philosophy. The subjects are hard, but he breaks everything down and will try to help you understand the material. He is a really good instructor. Yes, ladies he is attractive, but he is a professional. Overall a good teacher.

Excellent lecturer. Good, helpful analogies. Due to amount and nature of subject matter, no time for class discussion. Lectures and notes are critical to the grade and understanding material. Textbook is difficult to comprehend. Be prepared to read chapters more than once. While he is kinda hot, his intellect makes him irresistible!

Yes, this class is hard, but isn't it supposed to be? He is a great leacturer and if you come to class, read the text, take notes, and oh, ya, study, you will do just fine. And, yes, he is hot, not only on the outside, but on the inside as well.

I think that the class is very usefull for life in general. he does an very good job of explaining the material. The people who don't like the class, don't study or want an easy A with out learning. I reccomend this class to everyone.

THE TEACHER WAS GREAT AND VERY HELPFUL

Dr. F is more than happy to help those who help themselves. Read the book, go to class, ask questions and keep an open mind. He may seem unapproachable at first, but give him a few weeks to get the bums out and he eases up. He has a fantastic book out now for those who are interested in his opinions and thoughts. It's on amazon.com

Dr. F is a great teacher who really knows his stuff. He doesn't offer extra credit, but if you do the reading, you'll do well on the exams and quizzes. There is a paper to write, too. You'll only struggle with this class if you're lazy or un-intelligent. You shouldn't be either if you're in college. He's incredibly good-looking too.

No one cares what philosophers have to say because philosophers long ago ceased saying anything about which it is possible for real people to care

Dr. F was the best prof I have had. The class was difficult, but he was willing to work with those who asked for help. For example, students can turn in a rough draft for papers that he grades so they know what they need to work on prior to the paper actually being due..

Dr. F helps those who help themselves; it is the only way. I give myself up, for I know nothing.

best teacher evar!!! do not take if you are stupid

Seems to be a theme here: Those who claim to be great students and DON'T like Prof. Ferraiolo can't spell worth a darn. Perhaps you're not as good a student as you think you are! Comprehension (and, yes, good spelling) are crucial in this class!

Ferraiolo is a good teacher and the subject is interesting. Logic in particular is one of the most interesting classes I've ever taken. After the first few weeks, he stops taking attendance, and it's up to the student to remain dedicated. If you're interested in the subject, he is awesome. Plus, it's great to not have to go to class and ace it.

Well worth your time. No, it's not easy to get a good grade even if you work hard. The teacher is one of the best speakers ever, just don't annoy him and CONCENTRATE. Don't read the essays till after his lecture- you'll rarely get it till then. Feel free to ask him questions- he's pretty funny. Don't show up late or else crawl quietly.

Definitely a hard class! It's very interesting once you get into it though. He seems like a tough guy with his empty threats, but really it's just for show. Study, read, and make sure it's how he asks because it could make or break your grade. He's also not bad looking, if he dressed a little better. ;D

An Excelent teacher, very clear, extremely fair. He treats his students like a professor is supposed to.

Dr. F is an incredibly smart man, and conveys the subject matter in a manner that us clear, relevant, and thorough. He doesn't mess around; if you want to learn philosophy, you WILL learn philosophy. Those who dislike him (more than likely) have weak constitutions and probably won't last long in academia.

You take lots of notes from his power points everyday and then occasionally have short quizzes. Everything from your notes is on the quiz and the tests are just a longer quiz with a short essay piece. Difficult to pass this class if you do not pay attention. Very smart and clear teacher. Has nice muscles.

This man is tough, but brilliant. Take his class, and you WILL learn something. Just make sure you show up every day.

Dr. Ferraiolo is an excellent professor in every sense of the word. He made logic as comprehendible as it can be made. Philosophy is no easy matter. If you sign up for any philosophy course, walk in with an open mind and an eagerness to learn. If you are one of those students who only wants to have an easy time passing...

Great teacher, kinda boring at times, but he does know how to crack jokes. The class is easy as long as you study, since the information isn't that hard to learn. His power-points are easy to understand and he gives tons of examples to help you understand. btw; he ain't that bad lookin!!

I have to be honest he's a really good teacher & he's teaching is crystal clear,but when it comes to people skills or at least talking to students he turns a Nazi philosopher.If you're interested in the subject,I'd recommend him only.But if you don't need the class don't even think about it.Good luck & holy water.

this class was easy at the beginnging however, once things got difficult you HAVE to study or you wont pass...i suggest going to class everytime and take the notes, pretty simple

Ferraiolo is a great teacher. Although the class is difficult, it's supposed to be. It's not impossible to get an A as long as you get good grades on the finals and quizzes. However, don't count on your paper grade being as great as you're used to. He is a tough grader, but he'll teach you many things before you leave his class.

You'll walk into the class thinking it's easy, and walk out having learned alot. The man has a good dry/sarcastic sense of humor, and teaches in a very structured yet relaxed way. He has a lot of knowledge and is very confident, and I suspect you will either love him or hate him. He is more than willing to help you. PAY ATTENTION, study, & enjoy.

He will teach you to think, whether you like it or not. Absolutely the best.

His classes were extremely easy for me to follow. The readings he asigned were easy enough. Most of the time, I didn't even need to read the book because he was so clear in explaining the materials in lecture. But, BEWARE the essay. I got As on almost all of the assignments but still did bad on the essay. Just be careful and talk to him.

I have taken every course this professor offers, and even one that he usually doesn't. This professor changed my life and he taught me how to think. I honestly don't know where I'd be without him. I strongly recommend students to take his Logic class, and beware: he is a pretty arrogant guy, but he is brilliant! And he's the hottest teacher ever!!!

This is the only teacher that actually prepared me for what real college level classes are like. Yes, you actually have to read and study, just like college classes are supposed to be. Loved his lectures- he expains material so well. I cannot lie, this professor is so hot!!

Intro to Logic: Information was tough to grasp and professor FIRST comes off as...challenging, but stick with it and EVERYTHING (including his tough guy act) gets easier. Especially if you have good attendance, do all the homework, and work some of the problems in the book on your own. Seriously was a FUN class after the initial bit.

This man knows his stuff...Likes to talk alot, not much student interaction..But go to class do ur work, n its an easy B.. Makes u really think, people arent used to that strategy anymore...Awesome class...

Amazing! He's the best teacher I've ever had. But try not to be too sensitive. He doesn't let emotion dictate his behavior thus he shows no sympathy for his students. Don't let that make you afraid to ask questions! He's helpful if you adhere to his schedule. Pay attention, do your work, and if you want to live don't talk while he's talking!

It's a really hard class! U Need to buckle down nd study!! Sony slack off!! HW is easy give full points Evan if wrong! he's kind of weird! One day he announced he had mono!!! That's right MONO!! But he is brilliant! Push threw nd STUDY

Dr. Ferraiolo is an outstanding professor and any person with a rudimentary understanding of relevant will realize that he is more than likely *not* the cause of the extremely high attrition rate on campus. He teaches the material very well and expects students to work hard during the semester. Don't expect an A if you are lazy and feel entitled.

He is an excellent teacher. You have to do the homework, read the chapters he assigns and ask questions if you don't understand something. You need to show up for every class, on time, with your book. It is not an easy class, but you are in COLLEGE, they aren't supposed to be easy.

Took his intro to logic and philosophy classes. Got an A and a B respectively. He has a great sense of humor (makes the class somewhat entrtaining), and will prepare you for actual college classes. Not for the weak minded or easily offended. Be a good sutdent, and he will be a god teacher. Tough grader, but for a good reason.

This class was very difficult for me. Not because of the teacher, but because philosophy is a course that I just cannot grasp. He is a great teacher, and his lectures are very easy to follow. He is very into himself, a bit cocky, and I think he needs to get off his high horse, but overall he is a good teacher.

Best teacher and most competent teacher.

Dr. F states that his class is really hard. I found this not to be exactly true. I got a D on the term paper (6 hours the night before is NOT RECOMMENDED!), did average on tests and quizzes (1hr prep time), and still passed with a B. I do recommend: attending lectures, good notes, skim book, and go over/look up all answers from quizzes and tests.

He's a good teacher and he's so hot. :) It was a hard class, but he made it easy to understand the content.

This class was hard, he does say so the first day. However it is not that he gives too much work its the content, he recommends rereading trust me do it. The tests and quizzes are very straight forward, but I did drop the class just because I was having a hard time understanding the concepts. He jokes around makes the class fun. Good Luck! :)

Prof. Ferraiolo's class is by no means easy. It is labeled as an intro class, but don't let that fool you. Time constraints limit how long he has to teach in depth, so you will often feel like there is something you don't get, so reading the book is a must. However, he is quite helpful, and if you ask, he will try and help you understand.

awesome teacher. his lectures are very clear and interesting. make sure you attend!! he takes a huge majority of test Q's from his lectures. he highly suggest rereading reading assignments but i found reading it once was enough. term paper was tough but if you work on it through out the semester you should be fine. plus hes hot so hey theres that.

Knows his stuff. Explains material very clearly. Give it a chance, and you'll find out that philosophy is interesting stuff. Serious about classroom discipline. Does NOT play. He'll make you laugh, but does NOT play.

Really cool professor. Takes no crap, but in a good way. Teaches the subject well, and has an interest in it. Dull voice, easy to fall asleep in class if not careful.

Enjoyed his kick ass attitude super laid back, just don't cheat, learn the material, and enjoy the ride. It's interesting if you're not an idiot looking for an easy class to fill credits.

He is clear about his material. Don't miss any classes because you will miss essential information and get confused. Use the book along with his notes, study hard, and you should be fine. He's sexy, too. :D oh my...

Dr. Ferraiolo is a great instructor who really wants to make you learn but you have to study and put in hours of studying if you want a good grade. The term paper is really difficult and I recommend turning in a rough draft(not required) so he can tell you what to change. I received a B

few assignments. glorious lectures. knows his stuff. brutally honest.

Dr. Ferraiolo is a great professor. He warns you on the first day that stuff he says might offend you, and he frankly doesn't give a damn if anything he says strikes a nerve. But that's what's great about him. He's funny, teaches the material well, and if you're ever stuck on something will help you, no sweat. Favorite professor at Delta, by far.

Pretty tough class to study for. Your grade mostly depends on quizzes, tests and term paper.

Dr. Ferraiolo is an outstanding professor. He works to make the material interesting while also being very clear in his lectures. You know exactly what you need to do to *earn* an A in the class from day 1 and he doesn't deviate from that. If you do the reading and the exercises as he instructs you to do, you will succeed in his class.

An amazing professor. His lectures were incredible and extremely captivating, if you take good notes you could probably receive a C in the class using only his notes without the book (the textbook is still really important though). it's not an easy class, expect tons of homework but a firm understanding of philosophy once you finish.

I took Dr. Ferraiolo's Logic course. He's clear in his expectations, that you must work to get a good grade (both on the assignments and practicing in the textbook on your own time), show up consistently, and engage with the material. He's a great guy who will help you if you ask and he's also a Monty Python fan, so you can't go wrong there.

Great guy. But to pass this class you have to make an effort. If you expect to just walk in and pass its not gonna happen. Also read your book.

Good teacher for sure but no NOT take this class if you're looking to only fill up your schedule. He is a tough grader and will never curve a quiz or test. However, his lectures are interesting and he's a funny guy. He says at the beginning of the semester that he doesn't care what people think about him and he might offend you. He's hot too.

Prof F's lectures are extremely interesting and he has a really good sense of humor. He doesn't care if he offends you which is awesome. You do have to work for your grade, no curves no extra credit. And you are graded based off of 3 tests, one of them being the final exam, 6 quizzes, 3 pop, and one term paper. Work hard and you can achieve an A.

Some people say he's rude and obnoxious... which is all the more reason I loved this professor. He spent time actually explaining the material, so constant that it helped stick, and he did his best to answer questions. Just put in the work and you'll get the results you want. Respect his time and he'll respect you, not hard to figure out.

I absolutely loved his class, I learned so much. His lectures were the best and very helpful for the quizzes and exams. The term paper was the hardest part of the class to be honest, it's a six page essay. I would only recommend him to people that love a challenge. I believe he did his job.

He understood that the material was fairly difficult so he took the time to do exercises with us the class before the exams and asked us which questions we wanted to go over. Make sure you read the book and do the exercises that will make or break you!

At first, I was intimidated by Dr. Ferraiolo. He does not play around, and his expectations are fair and clear. There is a lot of required reading for this class (sometimes 20 pages per night). He gives glorious lectures, and he is hilarious. Ferraiolo presented the material efficiently and coherently. Give him a chance.

Dr. William Ferraiolo is one of my most favorite professors. Yes, his course is challenging. But all you need to do is what he says and you'll have no problem passing this course. You NEED the book, and you NEED to show up to class every single day. Do the exercises daily and every single homework. This prof. isn't here to be your friend. 10/10

Very clear instructions, lots of material but very well organized. Dr. F is actually a really cool guy, I didnt say nice. I said cool. Interesting lectures everyday and if you miss, you will be lost. EVERYTHING you need to succeed in this class is available. Well respected professor, one of my favorites so far. Do the work & you will pass

He only grades you on 4 tests and 4 quizzes. He doesnt curve grades, but everything on the quizzes and tests are on his PowerPoints. If you study the material, then youll get the grade.

Dr. F laid out everything we needed to succeed, including videos and exactly what pages to read for each quiz and exam. He was transparent with how we would be graded. His exams are tough, but they helped me learn the material.

Dr. F sets clear expectations in his syllabus and intro video. He never falters from them. He presents the material he provides in recorded lectures and gives additional videos for reference. He also gives exactly what pages to read and do the exercises on. I am not sure what everyone is complaining about.

I took Professor F for Philo 30(Fall 2021). This class has 4 quizzes and 4 exams. That's it. There are 400 possible points, no extra credit. Prof gives lectures for each chapter as needed. This class is reading-intensive, you'll need to do the exercises at the end of each section to be able to fully understand the material. Highly recommend!

I chose this class instead of Eng 1D because I knew Dr. F had clear expectations having taken ethics prev. The course is divided into 4 sections - 4 quizzes and 4 exams. Dr F also has video lectures which help a ton. He lays out exactly what pages to read and what to do to be successful. He responds to emails quickly. Truly a great course!

Read the textbook, watch the lectures, and take notes! Lectures are good, he's very knowledgable and straightforward. Graded only on 4 quizzes and exams. Exams have 1 essay question- only answer the question, don't state your opinion. He's not that bad at all.

Great prof overall! There are only 4 quizzes and 4 exams so be aware of that, but if you read the material and watch his lectures and powerpoints you are almost guaranteed a great grade.

I took Philosophy 6 for fun because the topic interested me and this Professor became one of my favorites. His lectures are very enjoyable to listen to. His passion for the subject made the homework fun. Exams were tough, but I passed his class. Just read the textbook, take plenty of notes, apply his feedback when given and you'll be fine too!
