Fall 2024 - Prof H. is a very good teacher. The material for this class is not easy to understand but he does an amazing job breaking it down. With that said, you'll struggle with the assignments if you don't go to class. He's very helpful, engaging, and focuses on us understanding the content whether than worrying about grades. This class is awesome to learn more about philosophy without worrying your GPA might get hurt. I recommend this class:)
