amazing lectures. Grading is highly correlated with which TA you get.

Pretty easy GE, class consists of 3 papers and a couple other assignments that are pretty easy and interesting at times. Lowest paper grade dropped.

You will get a good grade if you do what he says and attend the lectures. Probably an easy A if ur smart

I would take again! Honestly an easy GE to take and it was interesting. Only 3 papers and lowest grade is dropped so you don't have to do 1 if you don't want to. Attendance on iClicker for extra credit.

PHIL1 . 4 Months Ago

The class along with professor was captivating and very interesting, a good GE for people somewhat interested in philosophy. the grade is based on 3 papers, the lowest paper score is dropped, the textbook is given, and online, attendance in lectures gets you extra credit.

PHIL1 . 4 Months Ago

Korman's a good lecturer. 90% of grade is 3 papers, but he drops the lowest one. The papers were graded by the TAs, which is where my only complaint comes from (took off points but didn't explain why). I'd recommend this class as a GE (P/NP) bc it's pretty easy, and once you write two papers, you're basically chilling for the rest of the class.
