Brad is my favorite instructor in the philosophy department. The lectures are super engaging and clear. The paper prompts are extremely detailed. During the week before papers are due, he makes himself very available by hosting extra office hours and answering all questions in detail.

After the papers are graded, either Brad or a TA (if there's a TA for the class) will meet with you one-on-one to give you feedback. The meetings were very helpful for me because I got individualized feedback and I could ask questions during the meetings about my writing.

And unpopular opinion: I liked the quizzes! I think they're very well-designed in a way that actually helps me check my understanding, which is helpful for writing the papers.

I took this class as a GE requirement. I will say this professor is extremely clear and helpful. However, I would say you need to put time into the class, specifically around paper and quiz time. I didn't attend office hours and didn't apply as much time as I should've (I did the bare minimum). Class is feasible, and I encourage all to attend office hours. I would take another class with this professor.

This class helped me to question my own intuition about the two topics presented in class: drug testing in third world countries and abortion. The various arguments presented throughout class were really thought-provoking and I found that while for some things my opinion didn't change, I did learn to accept good points from the other side. The teacher is pretty chill, he was funny during lectures and was accommodating. We had two quizzes, a couple of writing assignments (graded on completion, not correctness), and two papers. The quizzes were done online, and they tested you on concepts from the handouts that he makes for each topic covered in lecture. They're not crazy easy but they're doable if you have the handouts out.
The papers were... interesting, I've never written a philosophy paper so it was hard to get used to the style that they were asking for. If you like writing for regular english papers, just know that they won't be like that and you'll have to be very direct and to the point. You'll be writing a paper on each of the two topics, presenting your argument with examples that support it. It wasn't insanely hard, but it definitely required some thought.
Overall, I would take this class again and would recommend this class to anyone considering taking it. I didn't really take notes during lecture or anything but I was able to do pretty well using the handouts. Again, it's thought provoking and interesting, I enjoyed doing some of the readings because of how well the writers explained their thinking. The only issues that I had were more regarding my TA, but considering that it was a rough quarter (a majority of the TAs and even the prof got covid) and they made sure to make grading as fair as possible by comparing each TAs paper grades, I still think this class was worthwhile.
