He's a fantastic lecturer- I always felt like I really understood the dense readings after lectures. I had Avramenko himself for discussion and liked it- he really pushed students to think more about the texts and truly listened to everyone's personal thoughts and philosophical ideas.

Grade is entirely dependent on TA and A's are hard to come by. I didn't read a single of the 7 assigned readings, all I did was show up to every lecture and take notes.

However, if Plato, Aristotle, etc. are people you are interested in, I would absolutely recommend. He is an amazing lecturer. Def my favorite professor I've ever had.
