Elizondo's class was honestly just perfect. He is an incredible lecturer--he speaks very clearly and places clear emphasis on key takeaways. He also sets students up for success by not only assigning readings but really explaining them and their significance in lecture. I 100% would recommend taking a class with him. I miss his class.

Loved Elizondo's lectures. They're super clear and structured in a way that makes the material easy to pick up. There were 4 essays on the 4 units in the quarter, but as long as you make it to lecture and go to TA office hours writing them was a breeze. Everything in the essays was covered in class and my TA (Steven Canet) was extremely helpful!

Prof. Elizondo is passionate about ethics and has vast knowledge on the thinkers and theories of the discipline. He is an outstanding lecturer, illuminating the texts he carefully chooses in a meaningful way. Your grade is based on three papers quarter-long and one final paper, all of which are straightforward if you read and attend lecture.

Elizondo has very inspiring and good lectures! He covers the reading with a lot of detail during lecture so you didn't have to struggle with the dense concepts alone. Graded on three papers and a final (which,,, was just a paper) Great class!

The best. I literally love him. His lectures made dense material accessible through his thoughtfully crafted expositions + analyses. His section on Kant was particularly engaging, it is his area of research and it shows. I feel super lucky to have been able to take one of his classes and I hope to take more in the future!!

TBH, you don't need to read much to get good grade on papers. Prof Elizondo makes very detailed and insightful conclusions of the contents that needed to elaborate a good enough paper. Indeed some people might consider his lectures very dry but they are pretty comprehensible. Definite one of the best choice.
