Comment:

He gives 10 papers throughout the semester but theyre not as hard as they appear, his lecture is very interesting and makes you think Im very different ways, its not an easy A but its definitely not a hard class, he gives you chances to redo the work, make sure to always ask for extra credit in class he usually gives it out and ask for redos!!!

Comment:

Honestly, do yourself a big favor and don't take his online class. I can't say for in person, but for the love of god don't take his online class. He is of no help whatsoever and the course load is WAYYY too demanding. He says don't get nervous because it looks overwhelming at first, it is overwhelming... forever. It doesn't get easier.

Best Professor EVER!!!!! He is so good at teaching. His lectures are amazing and he tells you so many stories about his childhood!! I was always late to his class because it was an 8 AM class, he excused me. NO EXAMS!!! 9 ASSIGNMENTS. NO TEXT BOOK REQUIRED! ASSIGNMENTS ARE SO EASYYY. I would take it again and again if I could.

Comment:

Let me start by saying I received a B in this course. It is a lot of work, but certainly doable. I only received a B because I missed one assignment. The problem I have is that I walked away from this course feeling like I didn't really learn anything. There was very little feedback. two thirds of the class routinely fails.

Comment:

WORSE PROFESSOR EVER!!! Taking his online course, doesn't explain anything properly. Overwhelming amount of information on blackboard which is VERY CONFUSING!! Expects everyone to be philosophers. I won't even recommend him to my enemy. Maybe with the comments I saw his in person class is good but NEVER take it ONLINE!!

Comment:

He was a great professor, but he gives an assignment every week. It's due every Sunday at 12:00 am. Talks in ways that can confuse you. Work can seem overwhelming, and text book is indeed a necessary. Once you do an assignment and wish to do better, he allows you to fix your assignment to get the better grade. Gets you thinking.

Comment:

This class can seem a bit overwhelming if you don't want to read and participate in the online work. Also this class I feel that it is important to always check your email and the discussions in case any changes or something important pops up. Be prepared to answer a lot of questions and do a lot of reading. The less communication the harder.

I thought the class was hard but after the 1st paper it gets easier. He gives models of each assignment. Best philosophy professor do the assignments get an A .

Comment:

Took his class for Writing Intensive, he definitely makes you work for it and is a tough grader!!! My papers would be about 15 pages long for each 9 assignments! Extra credits are even worse, I stayed up a few times to do his assignments and ended up with grades as low as 0 & 10. His lectures are super boring at times, but he is sometimes fun.

Professor Pecorino's aim is to make you a more critical thinker. This class extends beyond the realm of philosophy and you will apply what you learned in this class to other aspects of your life. Highly recommended Professor & subject.
