<p>Does anyone who's taken it or knows someone who has have advice/reviews/comments on this class? </p>
<p>I heard it's like a math class and that it is one of the most challenging prerequisites for philosophy majors... I'm signed up for it but I don't want to have to take it my first semester at Cal if it's so hard; I want to start with a good GPA... </p>
<p>So I'd gladly appreciate any reviews or opinions about this class!</p>
<p>what idiot told you that?</p>
<p>everyone in that class who doesn’t get an A+ should be ashamed. if they don’t get an A, I’d worry about their logic skills and their capacity for success in any major that requires said skill.</p>
<p>(i took it spring '10 with fitelson)</p>
<p>The class moves at about a third or fourth grade pace (elementary school, that is). </p>
<p>Typically, half the class can manage an A.</p>
<p>If you’re not suffering from mental disabilities, you should do fine.</p>
<p>Be careful of letting your grades slip due to painful boredom.</p>
<p>the one time i can agree wholeheartedly with caiacs. so much that i even wish to extend his thinking to say that those Cal students with mental disabilities can earn an A in philos12A using even just half of their mental capacity.</p>
<p>I thought we agreed on the . . “a math major is better at economics than an economics major”</p>
<p>Courserank doesn’t necessarily make it seem like that “easy A” course, though.
But then again, it’s courserank so I understand one has to take that with a grain of salt… </p>
<p>Oh and I’m taking it with Roush, who doesn’t have best of reviews, again according to courserank. </p>
<p>You guys’s comments so far are reassuring though; maybe the courserank reviews I read were just written by the few who did badly in the class and wanted to rant.</p>
<p>^^ ah, yes i saw that earlier today, good insight 
i knew i liked you deep down, caiacs</p>
<p>since you’ll be learning propositional/sentential logic and first-order/predicate logic (and presumably nothing more), you can learn both of them from this website:</p>
<p>[What</a> is Set](<a href=“http://www.cs.odu.edu/~toida/nerzic/content/logic/prop_logic/intr_to_prop_logic.html]What”>What is Set)</p>
<p>while i must admit that i learned logic in a classroom as opposed to this website, it’s pretty good. I’m using it to learn Set Theory.</p>
