boring powerpoints, bad jokes, and weekly assignments. not all too fun, but really not that bad, nor is the course content, homework, and exams too difficult.

Dr. Yap is what professors should be! she is always helpful in her office, and reasonable in her demands. If you put the effort forth you cannot go wrong... students these days are just lazy her assignments are not easy, but why else do people got to university? If you want to LEARN logic, this is the class for you!

Dr Yap's class is difficult. Dr Yap is a new prof and sometimes lacks the confidence, experience or clarity of other profs. BUT... She will go to great lengths to help you, and knows what she is talking about. Logic is hard and she is an expert. If you want to challenge yourself and actually learn something, she is a great prof.

Dr. Ninja! A great teacher who's super helpful. Biking and bunnies are some of her favourite things. Hw assigments aren't easy, but take her 201 class and you'll be able to pull off at least a B+ no prob in her 203. She's goofy, relaxed, and she laughs at students who eat applesauce. It's not so logical to do logic @ 8:30am BUuT it's a merry class.

One of the easier classes I have taken. She responds quickly to e-mails and is generally quite helpful when approached outside fo class.Her notes are fantastic, and she posts them on the internet, which really eliminated the need to wake up in time for her class, which I certainly appreciated. I'm definitely taking more classes with her.

Fantastic prof. Explained everything clearly, and posted notes online. Quick to respond to emails and very helpful. Online homework assignments are helpful (and very easy marks). Got an A+ without extreme effort.

very interested in topics. Life is logic.

Dr. Yap is an amazing prof, and one of a kind in being able to make logic fun (for the most part). Despite her best efforts, the material she teaches is difficult. Though this may turn some students off, those with the mental fortitute to persist will find her classes more rewarding than the other mindless dribble offered within the department.

(taken: Kant + phil of math) Dr. Yap is one of the most accomplished and attractive people that I've ever met. While I admire her highly for her knowledge and enthusiasm, I find her teaching style very difficult to grasp. If you can follow her then you're in for a treat, but you might want to register for a backup if you can...

Great, super helpful, wants you to succeed. Her enthusiasm for otherwise dry subject matter is infectious.

Yap is a great proff. She tends to go through her notes quickly but they are posted on blackboard. Super Easy material just read over her notes and you'll get an A+

Dr. Yap is a fantastic professor. She provides clear concise lectures, well designed homework assignments, and very fair marking and exam styles. The class moves forward at a good pace, and there is always time for questions. She engages the class in what some may find a bland topic. I highly recommend taking one of her classes. :)

She's a good junior prof, but she's still rough around the edges. She ums and ahs her way through lectures -- a major distraction that she should repair with a course in public speaking. She gives fair reign to questions and class discussion. Visit her during office hours; her intellectual horizon is broader than her research might suggest.

An excellent professor. Eager to help students and even more eager to get students interested in the subject matter. The trouble is she teaches courses many students find difficult. She lectures well, much clearer than the text.

Such a good proffesor! She made some pretty dry material really interesting, which is not easy to do. Always so nice and wants you to do well. So approachable and if you ask a question answers it in great detail. Rarely get bored in class.

Lecture content is dull, but notes are posted so class attendance is not mandatory. She uses "ums" a lot, but other than that, she is helpful outside of class and wants students to succeed. Easy A if you do the assignments, ask for help when you need it, and practice doing questions. Tests and finals follow the same format and are easy marks.

Great Prof that wants you to do well in this course! I highly recommend her.

She gives you everything you need to know in the course notes, rather than having to spend 120$ on the textbook, which is nice. A very clear teacher dealing with a fairly abstract and boring subject. Gives lots of time to students out of class too; organized study sessions before each homework assignment that were very helpful.

She is a bit timid but also is helpful (she answers her emails regularly and does lots of examples before midterms and exams). Her notes are clear enough that you almost dont need the txtbk. I recommend it though, for practice for the exams and for clarification if needed. This course was easy if you did the work.

She is a good teacher, approachable, and clear with her explanations of concepts. You don't need to buy the text (power of critical thinking) her notes are plenty. She moves slow with the concepts sometimes but it's still a good class. Homework and midterms content are done well and graded fairly

This is an easy A course. As long as you do your homework assignments and understand them, you will do fine. She provides class notes which are clear and straight forward. No surprise questions on homework, mid terms and final, she tells you almost exactly what to study.

Provided that the material was difficult, she did an admirable job of conveying it clearly. Very approachable.

She is enthusiastic about what she teaches, excellent with replying to email and working moodle, very kind and approachable, and her notes are great ( no need to buy the text). It is well worth going to her office hours if you need help. She sincerely just wants you to understand and do well!

She is very good in terms of examples related to work you are doing. Midterms and final are easy, if you study. Definitely a class that requires the work; not just an elective you can take and expect to get an A without studying

She is a really good prof. She makes everything straightford in her notes and the exams are easy if you go throught the notes before the exams and do all the homeworks. It's easy to get an A in this course!

Loved her! Take home final, and weekly homework assignments which totally prepares you for the 4 unit tests. Makes really awkward jokes that end up being funny. Highly recommend! Super easy to get an A.

Yap is unbelievably clear in her instruction and one of the nicest profs ever. Complainers didn't do the (minimal) homework - guaranteed. Exams just like the homework and homework just like the note examples. I've never given a prof all 5s before - Yap deserves it. As soon as you don't understand something stop and figure it out. NOT LSAT PREP.

Super nice lady! Really wants you to do well! Only a couple of the assignments were tricky. Midterms really easy, final was kind of hard but pretty sure she scales it. Good prof take the class if you want a GPA boost.

Audrey Yap is phenomenal! Super engaging and passionate and really wants her students to do well. She gives fantastic examples and explains concepts remarkably well. If you go to class and listen to what she has to say, you'll do well. Would definitely take a class with Audrey again!

Straightforward with what you need to know, lectures were interesting, easy to do well in PHIL201. She's a very kind teacher too.

Everything is ridiculously easy. You don't even need to go to classes to do well in the exams.

Professor Yap provides great notes and gives extremely fair assessments. She articulates the material very clearly and lets you know exactly what she expects you to be able to do with it. If you attend and pay attention it is possible to do very well. I'll be taking another course with her next semester and look forward to it.

Pretty good class overall. Not many people go to class because she posted all of her notes online (they're very good). Tests pretty much like the homework and notes. The only thing that wasn't pretty straight forward was the final, it was harder than the tests considerably. Overall, pretty good class to get a good mark in.

Dr Yap is hands down my favourite prof! She will take the time to help you if you need it even outside of her office hours. She genuinely wants you to do well in the course. She is very good at explaining harder concepts and also very patient and always has the class engaged. Homework is extremely helpful and she gives part marks on tests! 10/10

Her class was very easy to follow and understand. Saved my GPA!

This is a easy course as elective, but you need to finish the weekly homework and understand the course material clearly. If not, Dr. Yap is there for you. Really helpful in office hour. Exam is fair.

Brilliant prof, if you keep up with the homework the course will be easy

Dr. Yap is one of those professors who you can ask any question about the topic, no matter how simple, and she will treat it as a serious question. She also makes sure to explain why you have to do things the way they are done. Makes the topic make sense.

Audrey is everything needed in a professor and nothing you don't want.

LOVED this course. you 100% need to do the homework each week but isnt that hard as long as you attend lecture. The course can be challenging but just keep up with everything and go to office hours for help and it should be a piece of cake. Audrey is great and wonderful.

Audrey is one of my favourite profs at UVic. She's passionate about the things she teaches, and she's always around the department for help. Her readings covered a wide range of topics, and the subject matter can be taken with me into the rest of life. Her participation marks are from responses, so even if you miss class you can still get credits.

One of the few profs who is able to hold interesting lectures simply by talking. You can tell she puts effort into finding relevant readings and is able to explain things clearly. Her humor in lectures was great and she made sure to return emails and assignments in a timely matter which I respect. Would take another course with her for fun.

Very interesting material made even more intriguing by Dr Yap. She is fun, caring and respectful. If you keep up with the weekly homework and ask questions you will be fine. I would definitely recommend this course especially accompanied with her teaching style.

I am not a philosophy student but 239 was a great experience. Audrey is super intelligent, engages with her students during lectures (which are easy to follow) and is a genuine gem of a professor. I learned a ton about social issues through a philosophical lens - would definitely recommend this prof/class, to anyone interested, phil student or not!

Could post lecture notes online as often in class she gets off topic and we dont cover full content. Besides this, great prof, fun and caring! Interesting and keeps heavy subjects light. Easy A asking as you pay attention.

Not a phil major but one of the best courses/profs I've ever taken. Audrey gives AMAZING lectures and the course is pretty straightforward as long as you go to class and at least look over the readings. Marking is really fair. Her lectures are super thoughtful and she clearly knows what she's talking about. She's also hilarious! Take this class!

This was a brutal class. The math prereqs seem to be more relevant than Phil 203. The textbook is hard understand. Audrey does an amazing job of keeping spirits up, and encouraging you to ask questions until you understand it. Weekly assignments. would spend roughly 5 hours a week in office hours with Audrey, in order to do assignment.

Audrey is great. Kant sucks, and she knows that, so she gave us a real "We're all in this together" attitude when approaching the dense readings. Few profs have better doggos!

Best prof ever. Course contents are organized with a coherent structure, which helps build up your logic knowledge and skills step by step, so skipping classes is not a good idea even though she's super lenient about attendance. Reasonable workload. Super nice and understanding, has the cutest doggos in the world. I would take any course with her.

After taking *many* courses with Audrey, I can honestly say UVic is beyond lucky to have her. PHIL 370 is not an easy course, but Audrey thoroughly cares about her students doing well and gives all the opportunities in the world to get extra help, get an extension, and even resubmit parts of the tests. I would recommend uvic logic courses to anyone

She is the furthest from ur typical "boomer prof". Patient caring and has two (dog) TAs present during her online lectures!

In my online class with Audrey she was great. Marking was 90% based on tests and 10% on easy participation grades. The course material was trivial imo, but I'm a math student and I've studied this before. If you're not familiar with the content, Audrey broke things down into digestible pieces, replied to emails quickly, and made the tests very easy

Though this class was quite challenging, she was super accessible and accomodating outside of class (and on discord!) for extra help and seems like a genuinely great person. I really enjoyed how she formatted this class, and can't imagine it being any better in person :) Would recommend!

Despite my lazy arse not getting an A, I am confident that anybody who spent 2-3 hours on this course a week would have gotten an A+ at the bare minimum. Professor Yap keeps things as simple as possible considering the course content, and is accessible for extra help and conversation about philosophy.

Prof. Yap herself is a wonderful person, and as a professor she was pretty good, however PHIL 203 itself as a class was AWFUL for me. Prof. Yap had lots of extra help hours, & she was very responsive w/ emails, but even WITH all of her extra help I still couldn't pass this class. LOTS of difficult assignments, participation for marks, hard textbook

This course was designed in a way that with enough effort it was pretty easy to do well. Definitely a learning curve in learning natural deduction but not hard with enough practice. I'd heavily recommend going to tutorials if stuck on problems as it helped me a lot. Don't stress if textbook seems very theoretical, lectures clear up complex material

She is so sweet and genuine. At times funny and will brighten up your day. Your work load was swell. Great slides. She also brought her dog once. I hope she sees this, she deserves it.

Despite the condescending encouragement filled with "you can do it!", PHIL203 is a great class to participate in, and Audrey is a very good prof. No matter how challenging it was at times, the content just made sense (usually). I definitely recommend finding a good group of friends to work with and always make sure to ask questions!

Phil 203 was a particularly challenging class, the textbook is useless, and you feel like you're losing mind by the 2nd unit! That being said Audrey really helped make 203 much easier, always there with the constant advice of "You can do it" which while condescending did give myself more confidence. Overall, the: the GOAT of Phil!

LOVED AUDREY, HATED 203. JUST TAKE 201! Don't make things harder for yourself then they need to be! If you do take 203, FIND A GROUP TO WORK WITH. Audrey was hilarious and always tried to make things humorous. Recorded lectures and zoom meets live with the irl class. Can't blame her for lacklustre lectures cause you really just have to practice

Audrey's a genuinely great human who brings her best to work everyday. However, the content of this course is super annoying. You have to be actively engaged and practicing some really finicky ideas that in theory are incredibly simple, but in practice are incredibly hard. ABSOLUTELY need to find a group to work and think through this course with.

I think PHIL203 is one of those courses where the comp sci and math students will generally do very well, and students less inclined towards those disciplines generally have a harder time. If you fall into this later group, but still need this course, I highly recommend Audrey—she cares about her students' success and is an excellent resource.

This course is difficult for those that don't have a math brain, however I actually really enjoyed Audrey as a teacher. She is very kind, and provides lots of resources for her students to succeed. She has a very relaxed teaching style, and all the tests were online, take home, and you have 3 days to work on them.

Dr. Yap gives very engaging lectures, and is generally an all round good professor :)

Only one lecture worth of content a week—the other two are work blocks. I did not take math after grade 11 and this course was the highest grade I have gotten in university. Plenty of oppurtunities to get help if you're struggling and Audrey is super nice. The content can seem intimidating at first but once you learn the rules its fine.

She does go down the occasional rabbit hole of yapping (as the name suggests) about something random for 20 minutes, but still, I found most of the lectures to be relatively engaging.

I hated this class but I loved Audrey. They were always willing to help and set up the class in a way that we would have work blocks to get help with weekly quizzes. Attendance was optional as lectures were recorded. The textbook was also optional but it was useful to have, I did the best on quizzes when I read it. Overall, Audrey was great.
