CollegeHe 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.
My favorite professor this quarter. He's pretty funny and explains things in a really understandable way. Exams are exactly like the practice ones he provides which is pretty fair considering that's your entire grade. He appreciates participation, even if you get it wrong he'll try and understand your perspective and work with you from there.
interesting class, but way harder than advertised/expected. formal proofs make up a large portion of the class, and it almost seems more "coding/math-based" than philosophy-based. definitely not an easy GE
Great professor. If you have any questions about your grade he will always try to help you.
David was a great professor. Some of the material in the class is definitely tricky, but he's always very easy to get in contact with if you need help! Some parts of the class are easier than others, and he allows open note tests for his midterms and final exam, making it a lot less stressful. Definitely take his class if you have the opportunity!
Prof Mokriskis lectures are very clear and informative, but they can get repetitive, so if you have issues with sticking with a not-so-exciting topic for a quarter this probably isnt the class for you. Pay attention to proofs, because they make up most of the weight on the final.
