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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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

To clear up, this class is "Logic, Second Class," not phil of bio.
For those who didn't take Prof. Levy's PHILOS 31, he is a very funny professor (and a super agreeable person! He agreed to give me PTE even though he didn't know who I was, but I eventually got in without a PTE), and use slides that's useful enough for self-review. The homework is much harder than 31, so going to discussion sessions and TA's office hours would be very helpful. My TA was Ian Boon, and he really knows his stuff, perhaps better than Prof. Levy. If you aced your homework, then you don't have to worry about the exams, which are definitely easier than homework, so be sure to really understand how to do your homework and you'll get an easy A.

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.

If you like math or language, you will be fine. You will learn how to do all the problems by doing the homeworks, or by referencing the slides or attending office hours. (There are TONS of office hours.) There is some room for error in this class, but not a lot.
If you can do the homework, you're good.
