I took this class in Fall 2022. Not everyone has an affinity for logic or quantitative reasoning, but for those interested in taking a logic class, I highly recommend professor Levy. He is a crystal clear lecturer, who is extremely adept at concisely explaining what you need to know while only including just enough peripheral or tangential information to keep the lectures interesting. He is so good at lecturing that I didn't have to read the textbook at all- following along with his lesson and practice problems was more than enough.

The homework took me around 2-4 hours a week and is never outrageously difficult (I only had to go to office hours twice). Exams use the same program and thus format as the homework, and he gave our class practice midterms with the exact same number and format of questions which were more difficult than the actual exam (so you get good practice and know you're prepared for the exam if you can complete the practice exam in a reasonable time).

He is slightly unaccommodating with issues surrounding technology (like if your computer crashes during an exam) and extenuating circumstances (during the Fall 2022 TA strike he converted to live zoom lectures in solidarity with the TAs, but he wouldn't record them so that he would have an audience at 9:00 am), but I would never call him unreasonable (he even let us have a 1 page "cheat sheet" for the exams.

Professor Levy is clearly someone who teaches for the joy of it and he's gotten really good at it. Choose him if you're taking PHILOS 31.

Really great class, loads of supplemental help. Thing is you either get it or you don't when it comes to symbolism, I struggled. Levy was a sweet professor, who was very concise and funny. I appreciated his energy and understanding. I would recommend him for Logic.
