Comment:

Professor Daurio is the best professor I have ever taken. She took the time to get to know me and I learned so much from her, about philosophy, religions, and myself. I was recommended her by a mentor, and I would recommend her class to anyone who has the opportunity to take a class with her.

Comment:

I took this class years ago and the profound impact she had on my life still resonates heavily. I began her class with a serious dislike of Philosophy and intentions of become a Marketing major. After my first class with Dr. Daurio, I took a second. After the second, I became a Philosophy minor. After the third, I became a proud Philosophy major.

Comment:

I'm not a philosophy major but will take more philosophy courses just to be in her class again. She will challenge your views no matter what they are but won't mark you down for disagreeing with her. If you don't like philosophy don't take the class. She's always open to email about any questions you have about philosophy. Take her while you can.

If you have the chance to take this class, please do. It is thought provoking and the material is intellectual and makes you work. Daurio is a professor unlike many I have ever taken before. If you put in the effort, you will be satisfied with the grade you get. Quick responses to email and encourages not only your class journey, but your life too.

Dario will push you to your limits. Took the class as a GE but ended up loving it! She will not only improve your knowledge of philosophy but your writing, how you speak, and your life! She genuinely cares for her students and is so knowledgable. Hard material but worth it. Only take it you are serious and ready to work.

Daurio is one of the best professors that I've had. She'll email you right away if you have a question or concern regarding the class, she is very helpful. Do the work and show effort, and you will get an A. She genuinely cares about her students and takes outside events into consideration if you miss a deadline.

Janice cares for her students, unlike any professor I have ever had. I am not a philosophy major, but I take philosophy courses just so I can have her as a professor. She is incredible and wants each of her students to succeed, not only in her class, but in life. TAKE HER CLASS. LEARN TO LOVE IT.

Janice Daurio is the most amazing professor I had at Moorpark. She is so passionate about teaching. She is also SO understanding. Although, this class is challenging if you set your mind to it you can do it. There are no tests. Just papers. NEED BOOK. I highly recommend to take her. Great at emailing. Loves her students.

Comment:

Daurio is one-of-a-kind. She's a funny and very communicative professor. Participation in her class is a must. It's the primary reason why I received a 'B' instead of an 'A'. So, don't be afraid to join in on the discussion. Also, you can always email her if you feel like you didn't contribute much.

I love Janice! I took her intro to philosophy honors class and it was really hard for me. Philosophy just isn't my thing. I didn't even end up with the best grade but I can honestly say she is such an interesting, nice, and funny individual. She's a tough professor but if you are good at her kind of class I would highly recommend her!

In no way is this an easy A, but it's so worth it bc you'll learn so much. You have to read a lot and participate in class (or email) but she is so funny and a great teacher. Super good with email so email her a lot! and no tests- just a few written assignments. Highly recommend this professor to anyone.

Comment:

Daurio is a great professor. She is very communicative via email, leads great class discussions, and is genuinely interested in hearing the perspective of each student. Very helpful and willing to assist you in salvaging a grade. However, she does have a very "textbook" style of grading, which may or may not be to your benefit.

I loved Daurio! She's extremely educated and I learned a lot. She doesn't teach a traditional lecture, a big chunk of your grade relies on class participation. She encourages you to "think out loud" So don't be afraid to speak up! No tests, grade is just 4 written assignments and class participation. She's very helpful through email. Utilize that!
