Brad is my favorite instructor in the philosophy department. The lectures are super engaging and clear. The paper prompts are extremely detailed. During the week before papers are due, he makes himself very available by hosting extra office hours and answering all questions in detail.

After the papers are graded, either Brad or a TA (if there's a TA for the class) will meet with you one-on-one to give you feedback. The meetings were very helpful for me because I got individualized feedback and I could ask questions during the meetings about my writing.

And unpopular opinion: I liked the quizzes! I think they're very well-designed in a way that actually helps me check my understanding, which is helpful for writing the papers.

Honestly, the only thing that made this class hard were the quizzes. I know some people did really well on them but most of the class really struggled. Fortunately, everything was graded on a curve so even if you completely bombed it, you'd still get a reasonable grade. At the end we also had an extra credit opportunity for 1/3 of a grade raise on either the quiz overall or the first essay. I think professor Brad is a really enthusiastic and funny character in his way of teaching and i really enjoyed the evolvement of the entire class on taking live polls on how we feel about certain topics. My class in particular was very opinionated so the class never felt dull. Brad is a great professor and you can tell he cares how his students are doing in the class. He's always willing to help and answers questions in class and office hours.

The course had 3 essays with strict wordcap, and two short quizzes about 12-13 questions (all multiple choice). No book needed, all the reading material was given in class on weekly basis. As a transfer student, if I could retake the quarter, this class would for sure not be my first choice fresh off the CC boat but its manageable. Overall, 8/10.

Professor Mchose is easily the best professor that I have taken at UCLA. Philosophy classes are often painfully boring, however, this class was really interesting and made you think about morality in a unique and unconventional way. Professor Mchose is very generous with his time and tends to stick around after class and hosts extra office hours during weeks where papers are due to help students and answer questions. I would have never gotten an A, if it wasn't for the extra office hours. His notes are very clear and straightforward. This class does not require a lot of reading. However, participation is strongly advised and he definitely values students who engage with the material either through lecture or by going to office hours. Overall, this class was the first philosophy class I looked forward to attending and I encourage anyone to take a class with Professor Mchose because he is an exceptional lecturer.
