the lectures aren't mandatory, but definitely go. The readings can be hard to follow, but Jonathan does an awesome job breaking down the material in an interesting and understandable way. I found the lectures really interesting actually, but rarely did the reading. I just studied lecture notes before exams and did well. Attending tutorials is also free grades. If you plan on taking higher level phil courses, you will revisit material learned in this class for sure.

participate in tutorials. They can be interesting if people are engaged, but they are dreadfully boring if no one wants to contribute and the TA is doing all the work.
