    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Professor DeWitt is a very good teacher. She explains the concepts well and her passion for philosophy makes learning much more enjoyable. The class was pretty easy, as long as you understood lecture material (lectures are much more important than outside readings).
