Spring 2023 - take this class if you can tolerate philosophy and only want to think about the class once a week. ok here's the thing. I went to the first lecture all ready to learn about philosophy and I left with the intention of never going to lecture again. The only thing I actually did for this class was go to discussion-- I didn't do the readings or go to lecture. My TA, Moises, was awesome and he basically summarized everything in 50 minutes that the prof couldn't do in 2.5 hours. There are only three assignments total which were all super doable and my TA let us turn in our rough drafts for editing, basically ensuring an A on each paper. Even if you wanted to go to lecture, he records it and I found it more helpful to listen to him in 2x speed when I was trying to find info for the papers anyways. So I guess I would recommend it lol

Fall 2025 - This professor is honestly very confusing and strange, but stay in the class and you will get an easy A for a GE. As long as you turn in the 2 required essays with a decent amount of effort, you will get an A in the class which is really nice because you do not have to put in a lot of work. You read one book and base your essays off that, and the lectures are honestly not needed because they make it a lot more confusing.

worst professor ever no joke do yourself a favor and do not enroll. he rants and pulls random examples that dont relate and cannot use midterm. i swear he is pulling random thoughts out of his ass to kill time because he doesnt have anything to say in a two hour lecture. yes the TA all grade differently so good luck!

AJ is like one of those messy philosophers you would see in the comics. I took Phil 153A with him, which is about normative ethics. It was easy because of AJ's A- grading policy and our sweet TA Amber. The reading assignments were excellent, but I didn't quite enjoy AJ's lecture. AJ's lecture is somehow dry, and he keeps talking for the entire 1 hour and 50 minutes. To be honest I found myself often became sleepy in his class. I don't know if this holds true for the phil 6 he teaches, but in general he is a nice professor.
