This class was such valuable experience. Lectures were interesting and the professor is engaging and very knowledgeable. The topics were relevant and the readings were well-selected. I enjoyed all the assignments and feel lucky I had the chance to take a class like this before I graduate. I would recommend this class to anyone!
I took Philos/Ling M24 as a freshman, and I'd say it was a good experience.
Each week, there are two readings which were quite dense. Technically, you only need to read seven to write seven essays for the whole grade and you can wing the discussion sections, but that said, I did them all anyway to help choose the best papers to write on-- plus they were interesting!
The whole grade is based on six midterm essays, chunked into two groups of three essays, and a final essay. My TA prepared paper outline guide activities during discussions (which are mandatory) that were very helpful in writing each essay. I did, however, attend most office hours to gain more clarity and advice on how to expand on my answers in each essay. I definitely would not have scored an A+ without the office hours.
Definitely recommend Mona as your TA! I only went to one office hour with the professor, but he was quite nice and helpful too. The lectures are all recorded, and I referred to those heavily when writing each essay.
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.
