<p>Can somebody explain the difference between the two? Which one do you think is better for pre-law?Their both supposed to be logic classes.</p>
<p>Come on, nobody?</p>
<p>the course guide says 180 is good for preparing for lsat</p>
<p>anyway, 180 is professor taught, the other being gsi taught.</p>
<p>I can tell you about PHIL180: Some people like that PHIL180 is taught using online problems (there are many practice problems available) and some people find that doing online problems is not good preparation for solving test problems on their own, and that tests are more difficult than problem sets. Some people find logic easy and intuitive, and only for these is PHIL180 an easy A. As currently implemented, the course tends to be curved so that most students get a B of some kind. As a curved course, it is very difficult to know where you stand until final grades are posted, and this is stressful for everyone. For anyone considering PHIL180, and especially for those who actually have some interest in logic, I strongly recommend that you look at PHIL303 instead. It is also an intro-level logic course which covers a bit more material than PHIL180. Consider why you want to take PHIL180: to get an A? to learn some logic? to learn some formal philosophy? to prepare for the LSAT? There are better courses out there that can fulfill these motivations. The best way to choose philosophy courses is to talk to people who have already taken them-- the grad students in the department are also happy to give you advice and opinions.</p>
