Levy's passion and excitement for logic is what really made this course excellent. He is clearly well-practiced in the subject and knows all the common pitfalls that students can run into, which made him really good at answering questions. The workload is very light, just involving a handful of problems before each lecture. His humor might not be for everyone, but I actually found this guy to be hilarious. Logic isn't always exciting, but at least he keeps it entertaining! Honestly, my favorite class I've taken so far here at UCLA!

I came into this class thinking it would be easy because of the Bruin Walk reviews, but honestly this is one of the worst classes I've ever taken. I am not a philosophy major so the whole time I was like wtf... Regardless, GO TO TUTORING!! Practice by redoing the homework, and pay attention in lecture. I definitely feel like the tests are feasible if you understand the material but the concepts can be somewhat tricky. I finessed this A and you can too.

Great class! Textbook and software are both free and professor Levy was so kind and funny and caring. I liked his jokes and his ways of teaching. Exams are open notes, but it will not help you a lot if you don't understand the basics. I freaked out after the first midterm because I got 83 out of 100 when I thought I could easily master the material. Then I went to tutor sessions more often and practiced again and again. I got 93/100 on the second midterm and 200/200 on the final. You can definitely get better by asking questions and practicing on Logic 2010. But sometimes I feel that I only knew how to do derivation for the sake of doing it instead of understanding the fundamental mechanism underlying. Maybe it will be explained more in depth in upper philosophy classes. Don't panic if you do not feel like you could handle it in the first few weeks. It's like learning a different language. Once you get used to it and practice more, you'll be fine.

Professor Levy is AWESOME. Take this class, it beats writing any philosophy paper. The homework and tests are like computer games. You will learn about derivations, truth tables, symbolizations and invalidities. All in all, an awesome class. The only thing that cost me an A was that somehow I would mess up on the truth tables when it came to the test for whatever reason. Otherwise, super fun class and the tutors are there to help you. Take advantage of them!

I took this class to knock down the Quantitive Reasoning requirement, and I was very skeptical coming in, because I struggle with anything remotely related to math or science. I had previously taken a Philosophy course, did alright, and decided to take a chance because out of all the options under the requirement, this course seemed the easiest.

In my experience, it wasn't an easy course, but it was definitely not hard, so I definitely recommend taking the class! And, while I struggled in the beginning, I improved and freely admit the course is actually interesting. Everything is done online on a program called Logic 2010, which I enjoyed. Also, this is going to sound lame, but practice makes perfect. Solve as many problems as you can aside from what is assigned and you'll start to get the hang of them.

Make sure you go to lecture. Slides are posted online, but it's never the same as actually attending (as a bonus, sometimes Prof Levy will solve HW problems). Section is not mandatory, but I went to all of them. However, you can skip out on them without missing anything vital and go to the tutors instead. Tutors are so helpful, seriously, don't take them for granted. They help with the homework, which is assigned twice every week. Go to as many slots as you can, because they go more in depth than the professor can. I went to Arjun, so if he's still there, go to him.

There is no extra credit, but the TA and Prof Levy are very kind when grading the course's two midterms and final. I found that both my midterms were curved. I did better on the final, so it wasn't curved, because I did fine on my own. Definitely take the course if you're thinking about knocking down a requirement.

Conceptually, this class is very easy. The "symbolic logic" language can be a little intimidating but overall I thought this class was a very easy A. The workload is light, attendance at both section and lecture is not mandatory, and the slides are always posted online after class (though once you get past week 6 or so, he starts writing on the board so the slides won't show you that). Homework is done and submitted online, and sometimes is tough but not impossible. (Usually took me 2 hours a week). Professor Levy is also very enthusiastic about logic and is eager to help in office hours and takes time to make his ideas clear in lecture. Would definitely recommend this class and professor.

This is a must-take class. Really cool and sweet professor. His jokes are hit-or-miss, but because of his quirkiness, they always get a laugh. Has multiple tutoring sessions to help with the HW which is due before every class. Going to class is key because you can get left behind really fast if you aren't keeping up with the material. Aside from that, as long as you stay on top of it, it's an easy A.

GREAT CLASS. Professor Levy is such a cool old man and he's passionate about philosophy. This class isn't what I expected it to be. I had no background in Philosophy but did well. It requires a Free Software and the homework and tests are done on a a computer. Practice is extremely important to do well on the tests. He has like 8 tutors that are always available so its nearly impossible to do bad on the homework assignments that are due before every class. The homework isn't that bad and you go over similar problems in class. Midterms and Finals are open book and open note so a quick tip would be to print out similar problems (especially those on the practice tests) and use those as a guide for the actual tests. With this, you should be good to go. Not an easy A, but definitely a possible one.

Professor Levy is funny on lectures and on emails about midterms and finals! The content of this class, midterms and final are easy and it's like you're playing games for both homework and exams.

Almost everyone get full scores on homework.

I got 94, 98 and 200 for exams.

I am writing this review before taking the final and without knowing my final grade.
Breakdown:
20% homework online on the logic program (Easy to get 100% on all hw if you go to tutors)
20% Midterm 1 (I got a 94%)
20% Midterm 2 (I got a 96%)
40% Final

Overall, this is one of my favorite classes I have ever taken at UCLA. Some people hate it, I love it. There is an online textbook but I only read it the first week of class and never read it again, and still managed to get As on the midterms. The professor teaches you everything you need to know in class, and although it's an 8am, his goofy personality makes me stay awake. You have to do the homework and practice to understand the material. 10/10 would recommend this class. I say that if you don't like the material by Week 2, you should probably drop this class as it only gets more in depth. This is not your regular read/write essays type of Philosophy class! LOVE IT
