- **2021-04** — Very nice course. If you are a Philosophy major it's a must. I also recommend it for Psychology majors. Dr. Quinn explains very well, but it is not a very light course indeed.

- **2020-04** — Dr. Muller is really good. He's friendly, organized, and very clever. He'll explain everything, and the course will be very structured.

- **2020-04** — The best course I've taken in this university But don't expect very high grades

- **2020-04** — Highly recommended if you’re into such stuff. It is basically an examination of the reasoning behind our mental and psychological processes. I reckon it’s not light.
