The best aspects of this course included the interesting class discussions and the collaborative work between students. The worst aspects of the course were the extremely complex textbook and lecture guides which didn’t shed much light on difficult course concepts. The course also followed a loose lesson structure. The course would be improved if there were clearer breakdowns of the concepts through better books and focused lectures. Prospective students should know that this is a time consuming course that deals with formal logic and a significant amount of calculus.

Engaging material, class discussions, and the course’s intellectual chal enge were some of the best aspects of this course. Students also praised this course for having a knowledgeable and approachable instructor. Some students found the course much more difficult than expected, and thought explanations were more complicated than necessary. Additional supplementary material and a better connection between the readings and lectures were suggestions for improvement. Prospective students should know this course includes graduate and undergraduate students and was quite difficult for undergraduates. Having a background in syntax and set theory was helpful.
