This class is not easy, but it's also not impossible. A lot of reviews say you either get it or you don't, but I think studying enough will make it click. Professor Levy is funny and kind, and tries his best to convey a difficult topic. There are plenty of office hours and tutoring opportunities provided, though I didn't attend any. Catherine as a TA is also amazing. Don't miss the lectures or discussions, it set me behind a lot. As long as you pay attention and finish the homework you will be fine. I got a B+ on the first midterm, A on the second, and a B+ on the final, and ended with an A-. If I had put more effort in I could have gotten an A, so if that is what you're aiming for and you are not an absolute natural in the class, then definitely look for more help. A huge amount of the class was getting A's on the tests so it is definitely attainable. Also, I cannot emphasize this enough, find friends in this class. Getting through the homework and studying is so much easier when you have others to help you. The only complaint I have about this class was the insane amount of comments students would make. If the Professor stated 1+1=2, three people would raise their hands to confirm whether 1+1 is truly 2. Professor Levy was very patient and walked everyone through any questions. However, this did take some time away from the actual lecture. I'm not sure if it was just my class or if it's a philosophy class type of issue. Overall though, I would definitely recommend taking this if you are willing to put the work in and are interested in the subject. It was not definition philosophy but rather more similar to solving puzzles and equations, which I personally enjoyed.

Lovely professor

This man is actually the best professor I've ever had. He is genuinely like a grandpa in the class and his lectures are funny and engaging. Each exam, you are allowed cheat sheet(s), as you'd like. Partial credit on exams, no extra credit at all. Adjusts grading weights to maximize your grade. Four concepts: symbolizations, derivations, truth tables, and invalidities. Derivations get easier the more you practice, symbolization is all about patterns, truth tables are common sense, and invalidities are definitely interesting..! Everything is done on Logic 2010, from homework to exams. Offers expanded office hours and tutor hours before exams. Honestly, if you practice a lot and ask questions, you'll pass.

Levy is so charming and funny but I wouldn't take Logic unless you're ready for a challenge and are willing to put effort in! The content clicks for some people instantly, but it took me a while to grasp some concepts (ex. derviations). The class covers 3 concepts: 1. symbolizations 2. derivations 3. invalidities. I struggled with symbolizations in the sense that I didn't always understand what I was doing wrong, but I definitely could have improved upon this by attending more office hours and tutoring sessions. Derivations I struggled with for a week and then it clicked and was super easy after that. We learned invalidities so late due to the spring quarter remote disruptions that I honestly never grasped it since it was only 2 questions on the final. If you have interest in logic, definitely take the class-- Levy rewards students for effort and even said that in the beginning of the class (explicitly: if you come to office hours etc we will be looking at bumping grades at the end of the quarter).

Pretty easy class for STEM majors. The exams are easier than the homework, and the concepts themselves are not hard either.

Levy is an excellent professor and if you care to do well in this class it is perfectly doable. The most important thing is attending lecture as he gives example problems within the Logic 2010 software during lecture which makes the problem sets very doable. If you are ever having difficulty with problems, Levy also has plenty of office hours with himself, the TA, or the various tutors for the course. Overall I would definitely take this course again and recommend it if you need the requirement.

Professor Levy is the BEST!! What I've found for this class is you either love it and it comes really easily, or you hate it and it just doesn't click. Hopefully it clicks for you!! Professor Levy is so kind, made himself so available to students during office hours, and sends the best, funny emails. My one recommendation if you want to succeed is just practice practice practice. Do as many problems as you can on Logic 2010, and it will start to come easy! Final is way easier than midterms, and lots of tutors available to help if you need it. Definitely had to put some work in but loved this class!

I love professor Levy, don't get me wrong. But this class is quite hard. The material itself is hard to understand but even when you get the hand of it, or so you think it is confusing. My recommendation is go to the office hours!! Overall, I love him as a person, but do not take this class as a GE.

Prof Levy is an awesome professor. My section was two 2 hour lectures per week and he was sensitive to the fact we start to glaze over at the end. He does numerous examples and answers questions very kindly even if he's already stated the reasons prior. Bring your laptop to class and follow along with the problems. Logic 2010 is a little old looking but I genuinely enjoyed doing problems. If you are a pure math major, I highly (highly) recommend taking this because you will be able to understand the structure of a proof so much better by learning to do a "derivation" (essentially a proof). Homeworks are manageable (not too much or too little). He came very prepared to lecture with good structure to the presentations.

Highly recommend taking this class! You will learn so much with not too much effort.

Literally my favorite professor I have had at UCLA. He makes himself beyond accessible to all students, the TA for the course (Tristen) is awesome and managed every section themself, 10/10.

While it is by not an easy-A class, if you go to lecture and utilize the resources given to you, the entire teaching staff really wants you to succeed, and you inevitably will.

The homework is always applicable, the lectures are always important, and you don't need to open the textbook the entire quarter.

Professor Levy is the sweetest person - funny, caring, and a wears cute lil sweaters. His lectures are to the point, his slides are clear, and so much more. This class is so much fun if you like puzzles (it's basically what all of Logic is).

10/10 would recommend.
