Best teacher -- dedicated, intelligent, clear and helpful.

extremely easy, just do the practise questions and you'll ace the exams. The notes in lecture are really helpful so I didn't even have to read the text book

His midterms are a joke! VERY easy. Class is a waste of time. don't bother going. do the examples in the text book and i guarantee at least a B+ on the midterms.Final was brutal. not like the midterms. alot tougher. easy going teacher!!

Best prof ever! I love him. So helpful - he'll spend hours talking with you and explaining stuff if you need it. He's really intelligent and has a hilarious and dry subtle sense of humour. He's super fair and it's clear what he expects. Also, he photo copied our readings for $10 each rather than making us buy a $100 text book. He's great.

He's an EASY proffessor!! i would say he's second in the list in choosing a prof for this course!! first would be leslie burkholder (cause he doesn't even give you a fina exam!). As for teaching.. he's not so great but he's really helpful outside of class. Very nice prof too!

Alexandre is a great teacher. He is very interested in what he is teaching, although his teaching style takes a bit of time to get used to and to understand. He will spend hours with you, however he may tend to go off topic when doing so. Make sure to take good notes. I would advise regular attendance as some concepts are complex.

He's a great prof, really willing to help if you ask. I find him a bit hard to understand in class, and his humour is very dry... I think he has something against George Bush and fish or something... Overall a great Prof! Midterms are misleading though... ALSO very marker depedent (some markers give part marks, some dont.. GRR). Finals were hard.

He tries really hard to make his class an enjoyable time, and one can appreciate him for that. He is extremely helpful outside of class, as he will meet with you whenever you want. The book was only useful for its practice problems. I enjoyed his dry humour in class. Overall, a very nice guy, and a rather easy class.

Easy prof. Sooo boring though. His pace through out the course was extremely slow. Tests were easy and final was easy. Attendance is not required to get a good grade, just do the textbook exercises.

Very nice, trying very hard but usually not clear. He sticks to the textbook materials and as long as you do the suggested problems you'll do fine on quizzes and exams. Classes are sinfully boring though... But he makes up by being a very helpful, kind professor. Recommended if you take summer courses.

Now this is an exemplary Prof! Top notch teaching style. Unforgettable. I wish I could take more classes with this scholar. Sharp mind and good humour (which always helps.)

This prof is really easy going! his tests are really similar to the text and are rather easy. As long as you read the text and do the exercises, you don't really have to attend class. He also is really helpful but he isn't always clear in his explanations, better off reading the text.

Great Prof. Explains the readings very well, if you attend class and take notes you will do well. Really knowledgeable about the material. Also a fairly easy marker.

If you manage to pay attention to his monotone voice, you will find he is a very good lecturer and explains things very slowly and clearly. His tests are very fair and he is a nice marker. Also he has a good sense of humour :) and he says "Okay, good." 100 times per lecture.

Korolev is a rather boring professor with a completely monotone voice. The course is somewhat dry. However, I did find the material to be interesting. Lectures are boring and not mandatory, but the textbook is great. Tests aren't that difficult. Class average was 78% and I got 86%. Class requires diligence and hard work.

The course content is more abstract than PHIL220, but as long as you have had some exposure to intermediate-level math, PHIL320 won't be as hard as advertised. The prof is quite patient and takes the time to explain the concepts clearly. Probably easier than Bartha's section.

The content of this class is pretty dull, but I think he did a good job at explaining and teaching everything. We had 4 quizzes and a final exam, but one of the quizzes was taken out because everyone did so horribly. Class is easy if you study enough for it.

Had a thick accent, kind of hard to get sometimes. Very helpful and nice guy, easy to approach. Had 4 quizzes, but he would drop the worst one and make the other 3 worth 20% each. If you understand the text book, don't bother going to lecture.

Korolev was a good and understanding professor. His notes were easy to follow and he showed a general interest in the course. The text was also really clear, and I recommend his class if you want to learn about logic.

Very easy course. Never went to class. I just went over slides and discussion questions and ended up with 90%.

Korolev is a professor who has a lot of passion in philosophy. He tries his best and goes out his way to help the students. Class is a bit dull though, and its not mandatory because he post all his lecture slides online. As long as you put a little effort its easy to get a high grade. He gives 4 midterms, 1 final. My grade: 77%. - Luckymango

The distance education course was a complete and utter joke. I waited until an hour before each quiz was due to look at the material an no quiz took me more then 20 minutes. Easiest A of my life.

He is one of the best profs I had so fat. He is always willing to help and is available at his office hours. I will take another class with him if I can. He genuinely wants his students to do well.

Fantastic professor! He genuinely cares about his students, taking the time to explain things thoroughly. 10/10 would recommend.

His online notes had everything we needed. Didn't need to use the textbook once.

Some say he's a bit monotoned, but hes actually really funny and good at explaining if you listen. He also replies promptly to emails. The funny thing is, he has a russian accent, so now whenever I do tests/assignemtns, I think in a russian accent as well.

I felt as if there wasnt much help provided but there's only so much you can expect from an online course. Overall the course material/content was extremely easy and evaluations were relatively easy and fair. Study hard for the final - it's not overly difficult and tests on knowledge and basic understanding instead of application (phew).

All do it yourself. Make sure to not to fall behind. There is a quiz and "group discussion" where you have to solve a bunch of questions every week. Not too bad, most answers can be found online. Final is based on the questions on the group discussion so practice those a lot. He gives you hints near the final day so really study those.

He repeats and does LOTS of examples and demonstrations for you. his tests could be quite difficult, but they are everything you should know. HOWEVER, personally I think symbolic logic is very useless. you learn lots of symbols and how to change them into different equations. It had NOTHING to do with what I thought philosophy is. But he is nice )

I honestly enjoyed this course and professor. I found it fairly straight forward as long as you put effort into the discussion activities. I dont think there were really any surprises, then again it just might be because I am a science major I understand the material better. Do not take if you are not tech savy or can't learn independently.

He is pretty funny. All you need is the slides so you don't really have to show up to class. He explains things pretty well. The quizzes are actually a lot tougher than the assignments he gives so make sure you know the things well.

Dr. Korolev is a very nice guy. Hes super respectful and kind. PHIL 125 can get a little bored, but is a good class to boost your GPA. Just follow the syllabus and you will get a decent mark : )

His lectures are flawless. He never makes mistakes and very skilled at explaining the subject matter clearly. You will never think you're terrible at math after taking this course with him

While not the most engaging professor ever, Korolev is quite good at explaining the concepts and slips in witty jokes every now and again. The course material is not overly challenging and the testing is very fair (ie not expected to memorize very much and quite concept oriented but easily accessible).

He is pretty monotone which sometimes make the lectures a bit of a chore to get through, but he actually explains the concepts really well and is very thorough with his teaching.

Good lectures, and very funny. Nice guy who definitely knows his content. Caring and gives fast email responses

This guy would be a great math teacher. He's so good at doing examples. Even though he struggled a bit with his accent, he made everything clear. You need to work hard to get a good grade.

Love his lectures with detailed materials

Dr. Korolev is an excellent professor. His lectures are dry, but this is expected given the course consists mainly of proving logical formulas. He goes over proofs in great detail, which helps you understand the rules governing logical proofs. He was also accessible outside of class via email. I strong recommend taking his section for Phil 220.

Lectures are very boring but more useful than you would expect especially when you get to proofs. Pay attention in lectures, do some textbook questions, try during the discussion activities and it's very easy to get a good mark (if and only if you do these things). Put in this minimal amount of effort and you will succeed.

Lectures were dry, and the prof has a minor speech impediment. Despite this he was quite kind and understanding outside of class. Rubric was very fair, and a easy good grade if you put above the minimum. While not perfect he is quite good, and I would recommend him.

I could not believe some of the hateful comments. This guy has a PhD in Quantum Physics but you're right - he's the dumb one and the sole reason why you don't get the material in your 100 level courses. Listen to the recommendations of others here: if you don't get something ask questions and seek help; do all of the assigned work. You'll be fine.

He is clear and his lectures are very helpful, but oftentimes the content that you are tested on is rather far removed from what he teaches which may make it difficult to succeed. Only issue I had was actually paying attention in lectures. Sometimes if I couldn't fall asleep at night I'd play one of his lectures and I'd be snoring in 5 minutes.

Do practice questions and you will get A

Korolev is pretty chill. He doesn't mark too harshly. Will generally help you out if you ask him. The discussion activities are easy grades and the tests (which are usually a day after the activity is due) are generally identical to the activities. Course content was pretty interesting too.

Lectures are dry but the course content is pretty clear via practice questions, so you don't need to attend the lectures really. Prof is nice and he explains things well if you go to him after class or in office hour.

Lectures were slow but useful, doing practice problems gets you way above class average as much of the exam questions are slight changes of the textbook problems.

A humorous and friendly professor. He is professional during lectures and can teach really well IF YOU LISTEN. Your grade will be consist of 4 tests (20%), 4 discussions (20%), and a final (40%). While the discussion is giving free scores and a good practice for tests.

A very concise and funny lecturer. There were 3 tests (originally 4, one was cancelled), exercises we posted on discussions, and a final. If you master the exercises you will be fine on the tests. Partway through the term I got sick and my grades took a dive - I asked him for extra credit opportunities and he was very kind and accommodating.

This guy is awesome. If you make a really good effort to engage with any practice questions he gives you, you will likely do well on the tests. Some people say his accent can make his lectures a bit tricky to understand at times, but I had no such issues. He is a fantastic lecturer

Dude's generally a chill guy. Course had three discussions activities each followed by a midterm which are weighted equally each 30%, discussions were worth 30 too I think but at the end the final is a cumulative test that tests contents all the way from the beginning of the course worth 40%. profs nice and will answer any questions after class.

Really clear to understand. Really funny and really nice guy overall, especially if you attend his office hours. I loved his class and his teaching, and can't wait to take more classes with him. Fantastic person and fantastic lecturer. 11/10.

This is a professor worth taking if you're into logical systems. A brilliant compliment to CPSC 121 or MATH 220. He is very caring about his students, very honest and clear about the expectations, a great example of a high quality UBC professor. Pay attention, write lots of notes, participate in all discussion and you'll do great.

If you're interested in probability and are interested in statistics, this is a great introductory course. He is very passionate about logic and statistics, he uploads notes, and gives great examples. I can say with confidence that this course and his style of teaching it have helped me understand content in other courses.

Overall great prof! Clearly cares about his students and wants you to succeed. Very straightforward and made information easy to understand. Will take again!
