Winter 2018 - Philosophy 6 with Dover is one of those classes that you neither love nor hate. 90% of her class consists of reading Plato's The Republic, which definitely takes some getting used to. There is basically no hw, except for a few sporadic assignments here and there. Sparknotes is your best friend in the class. Midterms are both easy, final paper is interesting (create your own utopia). There is no final as well, which is a big plus.

Winter 2017 - I took Philos 6 with Daniela Dover Winter 2017. This was her first time teaching a large lecture (she previously had only taught graduate seminars). She is very sweet and accommodating of students, but she had no idea how to make a plan for coursework for the quarter. She was quite sick for a large portion of the quarter and we thereby fell far behind, and she expected students to continue learning coursework even when lectures were cancelled multiple times. That being said, you can put in minimal work into this class and still receive a good grade. The midterm was open note and the final, she gives you the questions that she'll be asking on the midterm. Overall, this course wasn't what I was expecting and it isn't the easiest GE just because it can get quite frustrating, but it's an easy way to fulfill certain GE requirements.
