He was my TA for Phil 1 and he helped me with the papers. He went out of his way just to help me and is caring. I would recommend taking a course with him.

LeBrun himself was a pretty engaging lecturer. He goes over concepts you'll need to understand for assignments (and doesn't post slides), so attend class!! TAs can be a mixed bag, some are more chill while others are really harsh. Overall though, the TAs grade pretty harshly so beware if you're taking for a GE.

I loved this class. The lectures were super interesting and engaging. But, the TAs were really hard graders, saying that a good essay is an 85%. Fair amount of reading per week.

Great lecturer and teaches super interesting stuff, but definitely makes it harder than a lower div GE should be. It's not hard to get an A, but be prepared to put in more work than you'd expect for a lower div. TAs grade harshly & assignment instructions not clear but if you go to OH they'll tell you what to write. Doesn't post lecture slides

he is low key amazing. he suddenly gives extra credit so be ready to go to every and all lectures. he is accessible outside of class, always. he explains the theories well but you have to be in lecture, cus he doesn't post lecture notes. moral of the story he is a good professor and go to lecture, ALWAYS.

LeBrun is an amazing lecturer and overall human being. Engaging, thoughtful, and very charismatic. Participation isn't mandatory but is crucial in order to pass the class. TA's grade harshly, which is my only complaint. I feel like grading became very arbitrary, and it was difficult to achieve good grades. Overall 8/10 experience!
