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.

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

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.

I really like Professor Mokriski and how clearly he explained the material in lectures. His slides were well organized, and his examples were helpful and similar, if not exact, to exam/homework questions.

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.

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.
