lecture was not mandatory and pretty easy to follow but i suggest actually doing the reading since some of the material is difficult/complicated. i found the class really interesting though and overall really enjoyed it. also he looks and sounds exactly like noah kahan its freaky

philosophy wasn't my favorite subject but I loved this class. The lectures were great, only required 3 essays they were very easy and clear. He does not provide a rubric though.

David is nice and very very knowledgable. He clearly knows what he's talking about and is definitely passionate about philosophy. The class itself was hard for me (philosophy can be challenging, especially for me) but not because of the professor. He's open minded, kind, and knowledgable.

a VERY NICE person and teacher. not sure if this class is for everyone but if you show passion in philosophy he really would try his best to help you. I sent him my outline for each paper each time before the due and he gave my detailed and LONG feedback everytime and he is really trying to help!!! one of the best profs i had in ucsb frrrr
