Fall 2020 - Prof Normore is very knowledgable and it was great hearing him lecture on certain topics and hearing other guest speakers he brought in. With that said, he is also very disorganized and you have to communicate back and forth with the TA's for a lot of things. The TA's also grade basically everything so it really all depends on how lenient they are. This was definitely a challenge and idk if I'd recommend it for someone taking a Phil class for the first time like I did. The content is interesting but discussion section is usually pretty dry but the TAs do a good job of answering questions about the material.
