I absolutely loved this course! Both Professor Levy and his TA Christian knocked it out of the park! As someone that isn't very skilled in material of this nature (as it feels very MATH ADJACENT) their engaging approach and especially merciful approach to grading rapidly made this my favorite course, for my first quarter at UCLA.

The course was graded per three exams (two midterms, final) and homework assigned throughout the course; all of which done on the Logic 2010 program (...kinda fun, when it isn't terrifying!)

The only criticism I can muster is for the tutors chosen for the class... While the vast majority of the tutors were helpful, although beleaguered by terribly confused students (myself included!) a tutor by the name of "Rocky" stood out as particularly rude and unhelpful. The specific case of this that comes to mind was in one of the gala review sessions prior to the second midterm exam, where when I struggled with a specific problem he seemed more interested in flaunting his "brilliance" on the subject matter by using evasive terminology, which Professor Levy hadn't lectured on. Worse, upon asking for more clarification he loudly called out to another student with their hand raised, to apologize for me "taking so long!"

Suffice it to say: You will want to be mindful of who you ask for help, where the lectures and FREE textbook do not allay your confusion.

In conc., Professor Levy is a fantastic lecturer and I hope to take more classes with him during my time at UCLA!

I had no idea what this class was about prior to taking it. Despite it being at 8AM and for a whole hour and a half, I enjoyed every second of it. Not only is professor Levy funny and approachable, but the content is not hard at all. If you enjoy math at all (although I would not compare this course to math as much as other will) you will enjoy this course, and if you don't, it isn't too difficult anyway. 10/10 professor and course.

He is a good teacher for an intro level class. He is funny.

Very easy As. If you are a familiar with STEM stuff then you are probably gonna get an A because his exams are pretty much like very solving math-like logic problems. As acknowledged by others, his lectures are extremely slow, and if you are good at self studying you can do most stuff by simply reading the textbook. But don't miss his lecture on invalidity because it's the hardest part overall in this course.

Funny, engaging professor who makes it abundantly clear that he's more than willing to offer help to those who come to office hours, ask questions, etc.

The 8-10am lectures were brutal, but I went to most of them. I've heard from classmates that skipping lecture and going to office hours to learn the material is way more efficient, and I'd probably agree with them because lectures stopped being helpful after the first few weeks; he does a way better job at explaining sentential logic than predicate logic.

Overall fun and easy class if you put effort into the homework.

This class was honestly a great class and you'll find yourself saying "this class is so fun", whether you like philosophy or not! I came into this class because I had to fulfill a philosophy prereq (for CogSci) that was not really philosophy based, so I took logic. It's really annoying sometimes and the homework gets tedious and long, but if you put in the work you will do well. I would definitely recommend making a friend to help eachother out with homework, because it's a lot at times. I struggled a lot at first, but noticed that prof Levy really cares about improvement, so I ended with an A-.

The breakdown is as follows:
20% HW - 100%
20% Midterm 1 - 74%
20% Midterm 2 - 89 %
40% Final - 92 %

Def recommend!

I know a lot of people who don't show up in class. Always go to the TA's office hour. They are so helpful. Professor Levy is funny and his lectures very engaging. As long as you do your homework, you'll be fine. Really regret that I missed some class. Just can't always make it at 8 am.

This is a symbolic logic class - which is philosophical in some way but if you are expecting a traditional philosophy class with essays, this is not the class. The class is mathematical, but not extraordinarily difficult, it's honestly reasonably easy to solve most of the problems as long as you know notation, and have a reasonable understanding of mathematics or logical studies. Professor Levy is unfortunately not the most engaging lecturer, and it doesn't help that the lecture is at 8am. Overall, simple class, but expect an annoying amount of assignments to do over time.

Just to be totally clear about it, this class is SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Some people have signed up for it mistakenly, me included. Anyway, this class is pretty tough, depending on how enthusiastic you are, Levy gives really great lectures, but it is SUPER important that you show up to them. Missing one day can seriously put you back a few pegs. All homework and exams were done online, with a free program called Logic2010. Homework due every other lecture, 2 midterms, and a final. TA sessions were not mandatory for me, but were intended for extra help if needed. Levy is super helpful if you talk to him, he's the sweetest guy ever. I loved the class, just be prepared to show up every day, that's the biggest thing.

I love him. He is funny and helpful all the time. The best professor I've ever had at UCLA. The class was not easy but not difficult either.
