positive

super chill class, relies on beadle for attendance, would appreciate if the class recites, reqs are a presentation, papers, and orals, can be hard to understand due to his thick german accent but hes super kind and is willing to explain concepts to the class if it seems like its hard to digest (+ i think the default grade he gives is b, i could be wrong tho)more

Anonymous member 549 Thank you again! Are the orals done in front of the entire class, or one on one with him? Thank you!

Hi!! So, yes, I do agree with the comments. Not easy A at all. However, if you have good grasp of the lessons and good groupmates, an A is possible. He has three requirements: presentation, a paper, and final orals. First, you will make a presentation on a suggested chapter of “A Hero’s Journey” (Unless it changes) by Joseph Campbell. Good groupmates + link to PHILO is key. Second, you will write a paper on any of the topics discussed in classs. He even recommends you not to cram, and he is right. Please do not cram. Finally, like the paper, a student would select a topic however di pwede repeat of presentation or paper topic. Sobrang gaan ang workload. However, his discussions are heavy and not engaging. He is passionate; however, he does struggle to connect with the students and get them to understand. He does get pretty sad about the lack of engagement. Usually, his questions are more like “any comments/remarks?” or “what do you feel?”. Only a few participated. I felt bad that I tried to BS my inputs on the lesson. But tbh, it was not easy to comprehend, as he stuffed different philosophies in one sem worth of learning. Overall, though unengaging, light workload and B-able (A-able if you are rlly good).more
