I actually liked this class. The material wasn't difficult once you got the rules (literally learn and recognize the rules, that's all there is to it) and the prof/Tristen/tutors were all so helpful even though I only went to office hours once or twice. The other reviews had me a little scared, but it definitely was much easier than I anticipated. There was an exaggerated review on weekend office hours, but that was only for exam weeks and they were meant for students to reach out before the exams if needed. Tristen (the TA) was definitely the most helpful in getting me to understand quantified symbolizations, definitely go to discussion if you want to really do well.

The exams are truly limited in that there are only 15 or so questions on each. Half of the points went to derivations (where you know during the exam if you got them correct) so that was helpful. Symbolizations were the hardest, but as I mentioned before, all you really have to do is know the rules + little tricks that you pick up from others/Tristen along the way!

The class was pretty interesting! I would say it's pretty important to stay on top of lectures and new concepts since all new material builds on prior material. Levy also does not record his lectures, so it's pretty important to go to class.

Also, go to the tutor sessions! A lot of them have their own know-hows for how to solve problems.

This class is demanding, but honestly so rewarding and kind of fun when you finally understood the concepts. Professor Levy is so nice and willing to help. Honestly I think the key to doing well in this class are going to the drop in tutoring sessions, unsure if he’s still there but Nikolai? was so helpful. Keep up with the homework, I recommend splitting it into two days because it can be kind of draining. Overall, as long as you stay on top of homework you are well prepared for the exams. Lectures can be a little long but the example problems the professor shows sets you up to do the homework.

I saw this class get a lot of criticism this quarter, but I don't want people to get discouraged from taking this class--I think a good portion of the class find it pretty straightforward. for me, it definitely wasn't an easy A; I got A/A-/A- on midterm 1 and 2 and final, respectively, and ended up with an A- despite having a 100 on the homework. but it was a very doable A. he doesn't really curve, and gives no extra credit, but does always give partial credit on exams so that helps a bit. sometimes the homework is really difficult so I'd advise joining the groupme because people are very helpful!! but otherwise, for me it was not insanely hard, and actually pretty fun/relaxing at times. it might have helped that I have a stem background...I guess the class material is very formulaic in a way? though also, having a strong grasp of the english language is useful too, because the homework and exams word things in a way that threaten to break your brain sometimes. basically, if you're scared about taking this class because other people said it was horrible, just keep in mind there's a good chance it's actually not that horrible. also, reading reviews from last year it seems he wasn't very accommodating, but it seems like he took that into consideration because now he has different test times for students in other timezones and etc. he does go very very very slow (like talks slow) so I watched all (recorded) lectures at 2x speed.

I love professor Levy! He is so humorous and the class is fun. Just make sure you understand all the homework and you will be fine. If you go to the class then you do not need to read the text.Overall, I really enjoyed this class and logic forever!

This course can be difficult or easy depending on how your mind works. However, with some practice anyone can get significantly better at it. Take myself for example, I only had an 89 for my first midterm but ended up with a 99 for my final.
Professor Levy is a great professor. He has a very good grasp on the material and cares a lot about his students. His powerpoints are clear and easy to understand. The homework is minimal and reasonable and the Logic 2010 program is quite easy to navigate.
I have nothing but good things to say about this class and would encourage it to anyone.

Loved Loved LOVED this professor! He is hilarious and fun to be around.

Lectures are a must, and practicing is a must if you want an A. Go to office hours, have fun, and enjoy this course.

LEVY ROCKS. He is like the epitome of the crazy philosophy professor. I LOVED going to lecture, and never wanted to miss one because he was so fun and engaging. He makes the worst jokes ever and puts really pointless animations in his powerpoints, but all of that makes the class so fun.
Like everyone else said; do the homework. And do it ON TIME. Not only is it crucial to your understanding of the material but the points add up, and even just doing it late can hurt your grade. That being said, it isn't difficult. This depends highly on how your mind works, but don't believe anyone that says you have to be a math person. I'm not at ALL and I got 100% on the final. Just be open to thinking a new way and ask questions in section when you have them, and you'll be gold.
Levy's class is the bomb, I highly recommend it, especially for every Philosophy major.

Great lecturer and an expert in his field. Going to lecture was a joy because they were well organized (and sometimes hilarious) powerpoint presentations and the homework assignments matched up pretty well with the lecture series for the week. He's not a hard grader but you MUST DO THE HOMEWORK. I cannot emphasize that enough. You can contact him at all hours of the night with questions about the material, but if you've been slacking off on the homework and not coming to lecture -- don't even think about it.

Great professor and very fair. That is all.
