I really loved taking this class. there were 4 essays; one was three paragraphs long, another was two pages long, and the last two were 3-4 pages long. The readings for the class are all posted on CCLE and they are interesting but long. I strongly recommend this class. It was super interesting.

Prof. Greenberg is GREAT. The lectures are pretty clear and he's extremely nice and fun. Keep up the readings and definitely go to lectures. Definitely gonna take other classes with him again.

In the beginning of this class, Gabriel informed us that this class would "not be an easy A." By that, he meant it is almost impossible to get an A. Although he does an overall good job of explaining the difficult material, he expects you to basically make this class your entire life. I completed every reading, every quiz, went to every lecture, yet still somehow was unable to get an A on any of the essays that I slaved away on for days. Also, I find him incredibly irritating and arrogant. If you get Esther Nibkin for your T.A., switch out immediately. She may seem chill and easy going, but she will rip apart your essays with unjustified reasoning. Unless you are willing to devote hours upon hours to this class, I strongly suggest not taking it unless you are a Philosophy major.

Professor Greenberg was an extremely insightful and interesting professor. His lectures were always engaging and he did his best to make sure that the class understood the concepts he presented and that we were paying attention. Although his grading was rather hard on the papers, it was fair and gave us plenty of commentary on what we should improve on. I would definitely take another philosophy class with him.

It's definitely one of BEST classes I've came across even if I only got A-. Materials covered were really interesting and the professor did a great job explaining them. My TA was Esther who is helpful and cool too.
It's not an easy GE though and I worked my ass off to get a decent score on my essays. But I never regret taking this class. Love it!

First and foremost, Greenberg is GORGEOUS! He distracted me 100% of the time. Regardless, his classes are fun. The subject is hard to.understand, and some reading are difficult. The essays he assigns are toughly graded. That being said, his lecture are entertaining, his handouts are useful and his office hours help drastically. I would take this instructor time and time again. It's not an easy A but his good looks and awesome lectures are worth the ride! Buckle up, people!

This class was dope! Professor Greenberg is awesome and chill. I really enjoyed his class. The reading is kind of heavy, but it's interesting material for sure. If you take this class, make sure you attend lectures. There is a quiz due before every lecture that consists of two questions: one from previous lecture, and one from the reading. Also, he puts time into his handouts for every lecture, which is awesome because they come through when you're writing your papers.

Overall, this was a great class, and I would definitely take Greenberg again.

This was a very interesting class and the readings, although they were sometimes lengthy or difficult to grasp at first, were relevant to each lecture. This made going to lecture worth the time because Prof. Greenberg made reference to the reading and explained it in greater detail. That said, there are no midterms or in-class finals for this class, which means your grade mostly depends on 4 papers. One short one (5%), a 1.5 page one (15%), and two 3-4 papers (30% each). I'd say the papers were toughly graded, but I can only speak about my TA. So though the class is chill as others have said, if you aren't a very great writer or aren't fond of philosophy in general, don't take this class (or take it as P/NP).

Let me start off by saying I am by no means a philosophy person and was dreading this class. I actually enjoyed the contents and loved my discussion. He gives handouts in class that helps with the 2x per week quizzes but they aren't worth much and they mainly test that you did the reading (only two questions). This class isn't an easy A but it is definitely a doable A. It is way more interesting than other philosophy classes and is a cool way of seeing the world from a different perspective.

This was an extremely great class to take, though lecutres sometimes got a little boring and in-class discussion got off-topic. Topics can be confusing but that may be becuase I didn't attend lecture that often. TA sections and handouts provided were extremely helpful and got me through the course easily
