Comment:

Prof. Lopez is great! His Phil300 consists of 4 quizzes an 4 exams. Attendance does not count against you. His lectures are fun, and he'll sum up his lengthy power-points to help you understand the criteria for note taking. I'm also taking him for Phil320 next semester! If you want an easy A, take his class!

Lopez is great. He's funny and isn't afraid to speak his mind. This is an extremely easy class (logic) which I highly recommend. There are 4 multiple choice exams, 4 quizzes and presentation. He goes over the information so many times that there's no way of not passing; attend class and take some notes and you're sure to get an A.

Comment:

One of the easiest classes/professor combo at ARC. I'm not a morning person but I took this class in the morning, showed up, aced all the tests and got out of there with the easiest A ever. Each test took me 10 minutes. There aren't any extra bs, Lopez gives you everything you need for the exams, plus he's a genuinely hilarious guy so there's that.

Took Prof. Lopez during the summer. Everything that he tested the class on was from the notes. He gave quizzes and examples that are very similar to the midterm and final. The book was not needed since his notes detailed everything. Class revolved around a presentation or essay & 2 exams & quizzes (drops lowest). He expects you to attend class.

Lopez is the BOMB. He is SUPER passionate and knows Philosophy like the back of his hand. His lectures are the KEY to the tests. He will tell you and review with you the day before the test. I recommend you use voice recording, a laptop or some kind of device if you take notes slowly. All tests are in class and guaranteed an easy A if you study!!!!

Professor Lopez is the TRUTH. He cares for his students and will review the course material before the quiz/tests. Dude has a sense of humor and class usually ends at least 30-40 mins before the actual end time. Hell make note of what will be on the test so write it down. If he repeats himself, write it down. Be respectful when it comes to phones

Professor Lopez is awesome. Definitely take him in his philosophy classes. There is no outside class work. He tells you everything you need to know for the tests and quizzes, which is the only grades in the class. Every single class was let out 30 minutes early or more. You won't regret taking him if you just go to class and take notes. Easy.

Comment:

If you're looking for an easy A, just show up and pay attention. He lays exactly what he's looking for on the table. However, for a philosophy class, everything seems incredibly simplistic and one sided. He reads directly whats on his slides (in a theatrical voice) and isn't willing to discuss the material deeply. I was bored and unchallenged.

Comment:

My favorite professor ever. I love his sense of humor, and his dorky examples makes it so easy to memorize everything for the class. He will call you out in front of the class and shut you down if you try to challenge him, which I find hilarious. One of the smartest people I've ever met, I wish I could take this class over and over. Takes notes!!

Professor Lopez is a good professor. He makes class simple and easy. In class, you need to take note carefully. Quiz and exam base on that. He will condense and summary the important points. Remeber that you will get a good grade.

I love this professor and I would definitely take him again! Show up to each class and take good notes. I didnt have to open my textbook because everything he mentions during the lectures covers everything for the quizzes and exams. There are 4 quizzes and 4 exams no assignments. Your lowest quiz score gets thrown out.

Lopez is a pretty dope guy. He HATES when you are on you cell phone or doing other homework in class, but you usually get out like 20-30 min early. 4 tests, 4 quizzes. Easy A's if you take notes and causally look over them before the test. Class is a little confusing at some parts though, but nothing to complicated.

He is one of the best professors I've ever had. I actually want to major in philosophy now. He's very smart, really knows his stuff, and will help you understand anything and everything. He tells you exactly what is on the tests. Just take notes and study them a little before the test and you got an A. Would love to take him again!

Lopez is an awesome teacher! He is pretty funny, too! If you want an A, show up to class, write down everything he writes on the board for your notes and memorize them. He is very repetitive and hammers the material into your head so come test time, it was very easy to remember what we went over in class. Overall, one of the best teachers I've had.

Amazing professor! Gives clear lectures, expectations, and grade criteria. No need to buy the book (very expensive) and all tests, quizzes, and in class activities are solely based on lecture. Always enjoyed class lectures they are fun and engaging! I will be taking Prof. Lopez again :) p.s. If you really want the book rent it off Amazon for $15!
