Each week you have to type a short discussion post, and there's an open book quiz on related content. There's two papers, which are the hardest parts of the class",

He is funny and quirky, and I have never learned so much or engaged so intensely in a class. You will love him as a person, love him as a teacher, and fall in love with philosophy. Again, I cannot speak highly enough of him. TAKE HIS CLASS.",
