PHIL3 . Mokriski D A 5 Months Ago

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.

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.

Lectures were so boring and not mandatory. Easy class if you can get through the lectures. Two essays made up the grade that weren't hard and if you meet with TA they'll give you feedback pretty much guaranteeing an A

David was overall pretty easy! There was a textbook, which he provided on Canvas. There are 3 essays total and I only read the parts of the textbook that pertained to my essay. He was always open to questions and made lectures interesting to listen.

Grade based on three take-home essays and section participation. Lectures were easy to follow, very understandable, and he was always open to questions & gave very thorough answers. His ability to answer every question thrown at him was impressive! Reading material was provided to students, but lectures did a great job explaining things. Attend OH!

Though attendance isn't mandatory, 100% go to lectures because all you need to know is clearly outlined each class. There are three take-home papers we wrote in total, the last one counting as our "final". The professor was very fair with his deadlines, so I never found myself too stressed. The lectures are relatively easy to follow, just attend.
