I took this class thinking it would be an easy GE, but was surprised by how demanding the class ended up being. DeWitt assigns readings and they are very hard to understand, so it takes forever to get through the readings, much longer if you take notes and actually want to understand everything the philosophers are talking about. However, she also provided notes, which were the MVP. Her lectures are worth attending because although she provides notes, she expands upon the notes in lecture. I also found my discussion section to be very engaging. Don't over think the quizlets too much. Attend your TA's office hours for essays. The class is not easy, but it was pretty eye opening and I felt like I grew as a person through this class. Also, you really don't need to use the internet at all for her essays and you shouldn't.
