Teresa is amazing. She is one of the most intelligent humans I have ever met. Her understanding of logic is incredible; you will be in awe listening to her lectures and watching her work through problems. Logic can be complex, so it is important to attend class. She was always willing to help during office hours. Her classes are amazing!

Stay up to date with the material - class moves fast. Very accessible Prof and TA ... but be ready to put in the time. Teresa knows her stuff! You will be a logician by the end of the course.

Just to clarify that Prof. Robertson did not hold the section during the strike. TA once substitute her lecture when she was on her trip, and in return, she held the one TA section. She loves her graduate students and supports them in demanding their rights.

Great professor and great experience. She is very responsible to teaching. Though her ppt might not be perfect, she is such an accessible and caring professor. She will patiently answer all of the questions you asked after the class. When TAs are striking, she held the sections on her own. Grading policy is reasonable. Easy A if you put efforts.

This professor is really helpful and dedicated to helping the students learn, I thought I didn't get it but I understood after office hours and asking the TA too many questions.

Teresa is lovely and cares a lot about her students. She can be unclear on explaining in lectures (I think that's just bc she knows the material very well and so that's confusing for us who are learning) but the TA is very helpful. The textbook is helpful, and practicing on the HW + doing extra Qs WILL get you a good grade. Def recommend!

Teresa is cares deeply about her students. She wants everyone in her class to succeed and she's also fair. You don't have to do the reading for this class but the material is difficult and so it helps a lot! She also keeps the class on track and she prioritized getting through the material so we could have a week to review for her final.

She really does want her student to get As, and honestly the bad reviews from the past are not reflective of her in my opinion. She is so sweet and caring! The class is definitely challenging, but very rewarding if you try. Put in effort and actually ask questions, you'll do great.

This class combines a lot of difficult concepts. You need a strong grasp on arguments before you can even really begin to do what the class asks of you. She is a great prof, in the sense that she really cares. I just felt intimidated by the course so I slacked but if I wish I didn't. She means well it's just complex and can be repetitive.

All materials for this course are free. One of my favorite Professors so far. Very understanding and great lecturer. Clearly knows the material she is teaching and tries to make it easy to understand, though it is a decently tough class. She wants you to succeed. Course is graded 2/3 homework and 1/3 final, but it is easy to get 100% on each hw.

I mainly studied on my own by reading books. Logic seems to nature to me because I really love this subject. Although Im a self learner, I never miss a lecture simply because her lecture is inspiring. Every assignment is helpful and reasonable. If you are a big fan of logic, just take her class and give it a try.
