<p>Has anyone here taken a philosophy class at UC Davis? How was it? Could you describe your experience? </p>
<p>I loved Philosophy in community college and was thinking about double majoring in philsophy (I am a Nutrition Science major), but I am scared that philosophy classes at UCD will be more difficult than the ones I took at my community college.</p>
<p>I’ve only taken one philosophy course at Davis (PHI 101 or something) which was metaphysics. Based on that one class, there were occasional easy quizzes and quite a few papers which may or may not be graded harshly although it depends on your TA. There is also a large amount of reading which I would assume is normal for a philosophy course. Overall, I think that philosophy courses are very manageable as long as you’re willing to put the time in.</p>
<p>I took PHI 1 (intro to philosophy) and PHI 23 or something, I forgot exactly, but it was philosophy of language. Intro was pretty easy but the lectures were really boring. I probably went to 1 in every 5 lectures or so, go in take a quiz leave. I went to almost every discussion though because that was actually interesting; it helped me out with the essays but not with the lecture notes. Thought I did horribly on the final (I didn’t go to class the class prior so I didn’t know it was open note/laptop) but ended up getting a B in the class.</p>
<p>Moral of the story is if you try at all you’ll probably get an A… but that depends on the prof.</p>
