with my other major classes, this class was a breather for me. we would have discussions on our weekly readings and at the end of the course, we need to write a final research paper about a topic we pick. i am aware i didn't put much effort into the class because my other classes demanded more of my attention, so i could've gotten a better grade than what i got.

Professor Alexander is a great professor as he gives engaging lectures on the topic at hand. i just wish he would help us understand a bit more of the context rather than assume we understand it upfront even when we did the reading.

Very typical honors course- you get what you put into it. I could care less about the material but honestly the professor really striked some good conversations but it's still hard to sit in that class for 3 hours. You MUST participate and as a stem major it was a bit rough talking philosophy and stuff with all of these really smart humanities people but I still was able to comment on a few things from more of the stem perspective. Overall super easy class, just a presentation, and a final essay.

The workload is minimal. A breeze in my busy quarter. Three hours of discussions each week, one final paper, and a 20 minutes presentation. Recommend it to anyone who is looking for an easy honors collegium to satisfy a GE requirement and honors requirement simultaneously.
