Fall 2020 - this was the first actual philosophy class I've ever taken and was pretty uninterested in the subject, but Adam Crager made me like it. he is very passionate about the subject and philosophy in general so he made lecture extremely doable and interesting and gave concrete, relatable examples. the material was made so easy to understand thanks to his outstanding communication of the material and his love of teaching. our breakdown of the class was: -2 problem sets (was supposed to be 3 but we ran out of time so the second and third were combined to be 65% of our overall grade). your grade is basically in your TA's hands, so be aware of that. I had sahiba as my TA and would 100% recommend staying clear of her, as she gives absolutely no helpful information or guidance in writing the problem sets and contradicted the rubrics and wanted us to write what she wanted, not professor crager. overall, it's a fun and easy class that welcomes and eases you into philosophy here at UCLA.

Winter 2023 - Crager is a real gem. He lives and breathes philosophy. I think if he lived 2,000 years ago he’d probably be some kind of Aristotlian (is that a word?) kind of dude we’d be studying now. This is a great course that strikes an excellent balance between learning a lot and not being overly difficult. Material is very similar (and builds upon) 100A stuff. So it’s helpful but necessary to have taken that class. Crater is very clear, helpful, and outrageously engaging. Take this class.
