Dr. Graham is a very quirky nice guy, and his lectures were engaging. But this class was super hard for a Magis core class and you need to put in a large amount of effort to get a good grade. Get ready to be writing and studying constantly.

Class is a ton of work for a magis core class. Nice guy who's inadvertently funny but I wouldn't take unless you're a philosophy major.

So many papers

This class is an insane amount of work for a magis. K.G. is definitely a chiller but man this course is roughie.

Dr.Graham is super nice but be prepared to read a lot. There are a lot of reflections which end up being 2 pages. Sometimes two reflections a week and a quiz. Hard to get a good grade. Frequent quizzes which are impossible. Exams are short answer and you only have 50 minutes.

This was by far the hardest class I've taken here at Creighton. He is a funny guy and has amazing lectures. I STRUGGLED with his quizzes and failed multiple of them but they only count for a small part of your grade. He will treat you like a college student and hold you accountable. DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU ARENT MAJORING IN PHILOSOPHY

Graham is a really smart guy, and his class lectures are super interesting and he always keeps you engaged. I will say if you aren't interested in law or philosophy don't take this class. But if you actually care to learn and apply yourself, the stuff you will learn is awesome. He's a tough grader but always gives rubrics and comments to help you.

Very hard course for a Magis Core, highly don't reccommend unless you are willing to spend countless hours on preparing for quizzes and reflections. One essay that is worth 30% of your grade. 4 written exams, only nice thing is he allows you to bring a note card.

Philosophy of law. It's reading heavy and participation matters. Also, there are a lot of seminar essays that have a tight and strict schedule and if you are late or miss one of the essays your grade is screwed. The final term paper is a bit stressful but he gives you feedback on your draft. He's a tough grader but I learned a lot.

I've had him before and this class was awful. The organization of this class was awful. We would learn the material outside of class then we would come in and he'd work out a few problems with us. I spent 15-30 hours a week on this class alone. He is a good teacher usually but the way this was structured was bad. TAKE SOMEONE ELSE FOR LOGIC
