I took this class as a first year and it has impacted how I perceived the world. The professor went in depth in certain topics like genocide and pornography. The class was graded based on 2 papers (I believe) and lecture squibs, which are basically write ups of assigned readings. The ideas presented in class were at times hard to comprehend but TA sessions helped a lot. There is no final for the class. However, the papers took me a lot of time to write and revise since philosophy has never been an easy subject , which is expected. Also attendance wasn’t mandatory.
