Logic is more like a math course with language than a philosophy course. But as someone who didn't really enjoy math in highschool, I actually found the puzzles both intellectually engaging and a lot simpler compared to actual math. Professor Grasswick isn't the kind of professor who deducts a lot of points for small mistakes; I'd say she's a fair/lenient grader. She'll give you credit as long as you show that you understand the concept. Workload-wise, there's 1 midterm, 1 final, 8 problem sets and 4 quizzes per semester, where the lowest mark for both gets dropped. The workload is manageable as long as you go to class and read the textbook when a concept confuses you (the textbook is rly helpful). Logic took effort but never crushed me, more like a steady workout that sharpened my thinking and gave me a break from essay-grinding as a humanities student.

This was my first philosophy class, and overall I had a positive experience. I especially enjoyed reading The Double Helix, and the writing prompts throughout the course were thoughtful and engaging. While some of the readings felt a bit heavy at times, the class was fair in terms of workload, and Professor Grasswick is a chill grader, which made things less stressful. I didn’t always find the discussions exciting, but I think that’s more because I’m not super passionate about philosophy. That said, the professor was kind, approachable, and created a relaxed classroom environment. Honestly, based on her ratings, I expected something different—but she was much better than I had heard. It’s a chill class overall.

For the first half of the course, heavy philosophical theories were covered, which was not enjoyable. In the final few weeks of the course, we looked into modern issues, which was more interesting. I would not take the class again just because of the heavy philosophical topics covered during the first half of the course. I would have preferred more discussions of the modern topics.
