I was unaware of how math-y this was. Fortunately, even tho I'm usually bad at math I did fine. He makes it way harder than it needs to be, & you can tell he's smart but kind of a showoff. Go to section, do the practice exams, and attend most lectures and you'll be ok. I never read the textbook but he posts what you need on GS. Not an easy GE.

More of a math-y class than expected. 1 thing I will say, pay attention when it comes to proofs because although the final was cumulative, 40% of the weight was on proofs. To do the best you can, read the textbook before coming to class. I didn't follow these strands of advice and really screwed myself on the final. Overall, a straightforward class

The long short of it is that Mokriski is a smart guy. He knows what hes talking about and makes his lectures clear. The issue is this was supposed to be an undergrad course and used an almost identical curriculum to the 183 class I took. I would posit that this is not only unfair, but results in a large number of students dropping Phil as a major.

his midterms are hard, everything is based on a curve. he's clear during lecture and explaining. lectures do get boring and repetitive. not really helpful, wouldn't recommend.

PHIL 3 is fairly simple in that your midterms and final make up the majority of your grade. There are two midterms that are easy as long as you do the reading. There are weekly homework assignments but they only make up 8% of your grade so you can get by without completing them. Lectures are rather boring and repetitive but it's a worthwhile course

David explains things very clearly throughout lecture and is great at answering questions. Replies to emails super fast! (with clear and useful responses at that) Lectures go by fast but he gives a lot of examples so it's not too hard to keep up. Tests aren't too heavy and hw is not overbearing. Overall really enjoyed the class- he's a great guy!

David's lectures were incredibly clear, concise, and helpful. I didn't use the textbook as he just posted the HW online, and his lectures covered all the material. As long as you go to lecture and take notes, you are almost guaranteed to get a good grade. Lectures were rarely boring, and if you had any questions, David was very good about answering

Prof. Mokriski did a very good job teaching logic. His lectures were very helpful to understand the material and he was always open to questions during the lecture. The class itself is fairly hard, but the textbook helped make the class easier, so definitely buy the book. Grade was determined by HW, Midterm, and Final. HW was graded for completion.
