He's a very relaxed professor, but his class get boring at times. If you're moderately intelligent, interested in philosophy, and do all the work, you should have no problem acing this class. (Although my impression may be due to the great TA - Logan Fletcher - more on him later.) The material is interesting and covered a lot of area, so nothing was studied in extraordinary depth, but it was done such that you leave the class with an impression of knowing a lot about each one of the topics - not an easy task for a philosophy class. Logan Fletcher, my TA, is the man. He's laid back, brilliant, gives really easy quizzes and grades really leniently.

Professor Picciuto is very knowledgeable about the course material. However, the lectures were a bit unorthodox in my opinion. Whereas i'm used to learning from a professor, the class was very open-ended (which ultimately led to listening to the same few students rambling about 'philosophy') To that end the class was a bit of a drag. That said, Picciuto is still a pretty cool teacher and makes fair exams. In this course, the midterm was takehome and the final was open book :)
