with Heidi Grasswicklast month

Grasswick is a really nice lady. The course moves fast. I remember missing a few days because of extenuating circumstances and waking up a few days later in cold sweats. I have a very developed background in philosophy already, so perhaps I already had the mental benefits of logic that most people cite, but I found it all very inapplicable. You will learn how to write and read formal logic problems (VERY SIMILAR TO MATH) for formal logic tests. Beyond that, I don't know. If you like math, maybe this will be Soduku for your brain. Just prepare yourself for the very tough grading (probably the hardest of any course I have taken) and some moments where the difficulty spikes. To reiterate though, Grasswick is a kind soul who will try her best.

Fast-PacedTough GradingDifficult Exams

Heidi Grasswick obviously knows what she's talking about, but the problem is that no one else does. I took this class for the DED requirement, and found it to be near impossible. The class moves at an incredibly unfeasible pace, and we are expected to sort out all our questions in the 45 minute discussion period in small groups with other classmates, who frankly, have no idea what is going on.

Fast-PacedLots of Homework

with Kareem Khalifa5 months ago

This class was a waste of time. Homework was graded on effort and exams were take-home and straight-forward, so we were essentially never tested on material. Khalifa also cancelled about three weeks worth of class throughout the semester, which is frustrating at a school like Middlebury.
