Others here have said that this won't help for the LSAT, but it really does. It won't be immediately obvious because the content of homework or exams isn't directly applicable (you'll probably never do a truth table in real life), but if you want to get better at deciphering logical statements, this class will help.

I enjoyed this class. I took it as a pre-req for cognitive science and I would recommend it for other pre cog sci majors. I thought solving the problems was fun. There were about two homework assignments every week. Each assignment would have a few difficult problems, I would definitely recommend going to tutoring or office hours before spending too much time solving them on your own. They can be time-consuming if you don't know how to solve them but there are a lot of resources for students who need help. The professor clearly enjoys teaching and is really nice. His lectures are long but recorded if you need a break. He puts a lot of effort into his slides. The quizzes all together are 80% of the grade which is scary at first, but they are all open note and the professor gives practice exams beforehand. You will also probably have time to check your work depending on how fast you solve the problems. Try to do the derivations first because it tells you if those are correct. If you end up taking this class, definitely take notes on all the types of problems because they will most likely be similar on the tests. I'll admit this class may not be for everyone, but if you enjoy solving puzzles I would definitely recommend it. :)

Dr. Levy is a very good professor. Though the class can be difficult, he finds ways to make the material easier to digest so it's not as overwhelming. Practice is the name of the game for this class. Try to do the homework on your own as much as possible. Being able to do the homework independently is a good indicator that you will do well on the tests as they are very reflective of what is given for homework. If you need help you should get it ASAP and focus on trying to learn the process to get to an answer and not the answer itself. Derivations are something you either get or you do not get. If you do not get it, try to go to his office hours or the TAs office hours and try to understand to the best of your ability. There are 2 assignments a week, each taking a max of one hour to finish. Discussions are honestly your best friend. I lowkey did not end up studying for the final at all because the practice midterms and finals he gives are enough practice for the actual exams. I won't say its an easy A, but if you know what you're doing it should be.

Lovely professor

RUN!!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WILL FAIL. This class was academic HELL. It was genuinely so difficult and I FAILED. unless you want to ruin your GPA and completely rip away your social life, do not take this class. i tried SOOOO HARD and still failed. if i didnt fail class i would have graduated with honors. now i have to let down my family legacy. this class ruined my entire academic reputation.

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.

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.
