Comment:
Dancy is very nice, really cares about the subject matter, but he cannot convey it well at all. Lectures are dull babblings on logic and argument forms. The class is graded on a few 3 page quiz papers and a 5-10 page final paper. Avoid unless you genuinely care about ancient philosophers, Plato and Socrates specifically, because if not it sucks.

Comment:
Had RMD for Plato&Preds- I am a PHI major and get A/B's in my courses, without trying. Dancy is HARD. If you do not do the reading and do not know how to write a PHILOSOPHY paper, you will NOT do better than a C/D. The lectures are boring (mainly bc of material) but he is brilliant, cunning and very nice.

Comment:
Dancy's style is that there is no final, just a final paper that requires no research outside of class reading material (good!). His sense of humor and enthusiasm for the subject (Ancient Philosophy) make lectures enjoyable. Quizzes are easy if you attend
