This class can either be very fun and easy or difficult and boring. It really depends on the professor. Lacking a good professor can make things go from black and white to grey very fast

Advice

Don't take this class if you can't get it with Phil. He works hard to make sure the students that want to succeed will succeed and his class is very fair!

This class is okay, I took it because it sounded interesting how ever the teacher made it overly confusing and he is one of those teachers that you can never give him the right answer... which gets tiring all of the time. The text is poorly worded... it docent give you the definition of a word but instead just give you the example. Do not take it with this teacher, it is not fun with him and he is not very positive.

Advice

Read the text, the exams are easier than the assignments, the assignments make 45% of your grade so make sure you put time into them

This course was pretty alright, wouldn't worry all too much about it as long as you keep up with the pace. The material was pretty fun at times, especially the logic units we covered. Our instructor would provide insightful review lectures closer to the unit tests to clarify and affirm our understanding that proved helpful in the long run.

Advice

Absolutely use the textbook exercises to study, and make sure you concretely understand the material you are being tested on, and of course do not leave studying till last minute. I personally found cue cards helpful to memorize definitions and fallacies. My section had no assignments or final, but rather had five tests worth 20% of our grade that were all MC questions that included general questions, arguments to analyze and work through, and a true or false section.

Yes yes and yes. Easy, moderately interesting, and RJ is BOMB. Quizzes, homework, two tests, and final. Everything is easy.

Advice

Take notes from the textbook for studying, and do some questions if you want, but seriously take this with RJ if you can. He makes what is a more boring class (for many) into a pretty chill and fun place to be. Should be an easy A for most.

Fun course! It consists of 5 assignments (+a bonus one that replaces your lowest!) and a long answer final resembling your assignments. Dave does a good job explaining the concepts and argument analysis. He brings his cat to the last day of class! The class is CURVED (only 14 people can have an A+ out of ~200)! So hope you dont get a year with lots of engineering students vying for the A+

Advice

Take with Dave!
