Phil134 . Mokriski D A 3 Years Ago

Overall David is a cool professor, but needlessly difficult. Every time I made the changes he suggested in my essays, he found something else to pick on. It seemed like I was never improving in his eyes despite going to office hours. He means well, but the class is a confidence downer. All I got was criticism, but saw no indication of progress.

Phil134 . Mokriski D A 3 Years Ago

Overall David is a cool professor, but needlessly difficult. Out of the three essays I wrote, each and every time I was under the impression it was better than the previous one. I had added the changes he suggested during office hours, but he always found something else to be the problem next time. The class is a confidence downer.

David's lectures were long but informative. He isn't the most interesting lecturer but he is extremely knowledgeable. Class contained 3 take home papers which were graded pretty stringently. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you participate and attend most classes he will bump your grade. Overall I would recommend.

Very intelligent, caring, and overall an incredible human being. He is a great teacher that can captivate an audience, entertain concepts, and understands students very well. I highly recommend him

Prof. Mokriski did a very good job teaching logic. His lectures were very helpful to understand the material and he was always open to questions during the lecture. The class itself is fairly hard, but the textbook helped make the class easier, so definitely buy the book. Grade was determined by HW, Midterm, and Final. HW was graded for completion.

He is a great lecturer and explains things really well. Although they're worth 90% of your grade, exams are very reasonable and very similar to the practice ones. I never read the textbook and felt like his slides pretty much taught me everything I needed to know for the final.
