During this class I tried to apply good ethics to my everyday life and will try to do so going forward. It also confirmed what I already knew that people are mostly egoist.

From then on i recorded conversations and took pictures of his emails to show his superior because I don't want anyone else going though this. Im not gonna wright a long description beca

Everything was laid out clearly so there werent any tricks. Do your assignments, case studies and participate in the discussion board. Expect to read a lot but learn a lot as well. You can do no wrong as long as you spend time on the work and put in the effort. Even gives his own textbook. Best class ever!

By far one of my favorite Professors so far, he genuinely cares about what he is teaching and goes the extra-mile to make sure you understand what he is explaining. He is a very caring person and takes your personal issues into account when grading. YOU MUST READ THE ONLINE TEXTBOOK. If you do not, your grade will reflect this. He's also very funny

I feel like it's hard to fail because he gives you such clear guidelines of what he is looking for in homework and for class participation. For each chapter you can get a certain number of points so you can easily keep track of how you're doing in his class and what your grade will be with the quality and quantity of work you're putting into class

Found this Professor to be quite intriguing. His use of ethical issues and the decision scenarios provided in class discussion really was an eye opener and illustrated just how many issues are seen in healthcare today. His YouTube videos based on modules for the course are even more engaging and interesting. Would take him again.

Wow. He was the best professor I had that semester and probably ever. Each class was something different and when he did his "BIG" class surprise, it was well worth the wait. "Tip: Don't get mad at him afterwards). Be prepared to THINK. Be prepared to LEARN. Don't expect an easy A if you aren't gonna work for it. READ THE ONLINE TEXTBOOK!!!

Comment:

Lots LOTS of work; but it is all very easy if you literally just read. He gives you enough material so that you don't have to buy the book which is great. JUST DO THE WORK and you will definitely pass. I slacked off and was failing and by the end of the semester I ended up passing with a grade I did not think was possible to get. DO THE WORK!

This is the most useful course to take, it uses real case scenarios, and will be applicable to everyone's real life situation. Professor Pecorino gets straight to the point, he'll let you know if you're not submitting homework correctly, and will guide you in the right direction, but don't expect any coddling!

You actually have to do work. And people feel like if you do an online class, you should be entitled to do less. Not the case here. But, if you do the work, and you put some effort. There's no way you can fail. You can track yourself to see what you are projected to get in the class. Which makes it easy.

Professor Pecorino was the best professor I had all semester! He's intelligent and personable. My class met once a week for 3 hours at night but there was never a dull moment. You earn your grade by writing papers but it's not overwhelming. You also need to be in class but you wouldn't want to miss it anyway.

Professor Pecorino is a wonderful professor I took is online class and I thought I was going to fail but all you need to do is do your assignments, participate in the led disscussion and log on the amount of times he ask you to and you will pass his class. He is a very educated and understanding professor. You will learn alot by taking his class. g

When I saw the syllabus, I almost dropped the class. I thought it was going to be a tremendous amount of work. It was a breeze! Do the assignments and answer the discussion questions and it will be an easy A!

I took BioMedical Ethics online, and Professor Pecorino sets it all up for you. It may seem intimidating at first but stick it out you will learn so much and it's nice to have a professor that cares.

Comment:

Hands down the BEST teacher I've ever had. Attendance in this course is MANDATORY, he gives 10 pts everytime you go to class which are a part of your grade. If you end up missing 3 classes, you'll receive an automatic F. It's a tough course so be ready to read and pay attention throughout the lectures. It was tough but I banged it out with an A.
