Quarter: Winter 2024
Grade: A+
Verified Reviewer This user is a verified UCLA student/alum.

Calvin Normore is one of the gems in the UCLA philosophy department. Although he might not be as structured as Tyler Burge (the absolute GOAT), he is full of knowledge and is very ready and willing to share it with you. This course structure that was proposed in the beginning of the quarter was very loosely followed, with Normore just feeling it out as he went, but it makes sense if you attend his lectures. He doesn't require attendance, but if you go, you will understand why his course structure is so loose. Normore is ready to engage in all sorts of conversations with students, prompting them to think in different ways, and really bringing nuance to questions that seem so commonsensical. If you don't actively participate in lecture, then you probably won't like the class, but if you are engaged, it is one of the best courses offered in the Philosophy department.

In terms of grading, it really just depends on your TA. Normore personally graded my papers, and if you talk to him about what you want to write about during office hours so he can check for any errors in your thinking, you can basically guarantee the A.
