5 homework assignments and 3 tests, those are the only grades. Haven't been to class in 2 months and got a 100 on the last test. Everything is put on Learn@UW and easy to follow. Practice tests are harder than real tests. Lectures are boring as hell and way too long, just don't go.Rate My Professors ↗

Awesome teacher, discussions are extra credit, easy A for humanities credit. Two midterms and a final, all take literally 30 minutes and are exactly like the homework. Homework boosts grades & she offers a lot of extra credit. All lecture slides are posted online and super easy to follow so you can basically teach yourself. Never went to class.Rate My Professors ↗

Emi is a great professor. She made the lectures clear and understandable. If you have the option take Phil 210 with Emi and not the other professor. Seriously. Also no textbook and no reading assignments with Emi!Rate My Professors ↗
