<p>hey I was wondering if anyone who has taken these classes before [or has some knowledge of the classes] could tell me if I should take them both in the same semester or not [ie are they too difficuilt to take together]? - Phil 12a [logic] and Phil 25a (ancient phil)...if anyone has some insight, thanks</p>
<p>I don't see the problem in taking them together. 12a is hard for some people, easy for others. Like a math class, do problem sets, mid-term and final. 25a is a standard philosophy class, read books, write papers. One doesn't assume knowledge of the other.</p>
<p>to other people: if you are just going for philosophy and values requirements and you're not deeply into philosophy or just thinking that much for the matter, then just take a classics department course (ex. 10A, 10B, 28...) that fills the requirement. PV courses don't need to be philosophy department course.</p>
<p>I took both, though I took ancient philosophy as a cross-listed course in the Classics department. It's very doable, and-- as ken points out-- they have little to do with each other.</p>
<p>Is it hard overall?
I am planning to major in math and minor philosophy</p>
<p>^^Philosophy isn't that hard, generally, but sometimes in upper division classes it can be hard to get an A. A good student is going to get a B+, a very good one will get an A-, and it takes something extra to get an A. 12a and 25a, though, shouldn't be hard to get an A in. 12a should be easy to get an A in for a math major.</p>
<p>Does Classics 17A fulfill the Philosophy & Values breadth requirement as well?</p>
<p>I signed up for Philosophy 25A just in case...</p>
