There is not much reading, one article a week, because you focus on it for the whole week, but they can be long. Very discussion-based class. 2 major papers to write, grades hard, but gives amazing feedback",

All class and discussion are \"mandatory\" (you can miss a few) as you are graded on participation. Two papers and participation determine your grade, but I prefer it that way as there is no busy work. ",

The structure for the class is you read philosophy papers every week (10+ pages each), then he lectures about them. Your grade is based on mandatory participation in discussion sections and 2 papers. Overall, he is a good professor and grades fairly.",

All handwritten notes, mandatory participation in discussion sections. Only 2 papers per semester & tons of readings per week! \n\nOverall, Hunter is great as a professor but very challenging!",

His lectures are super funny and easy to stay engaged. He is intimidating and definitely has his own style of teaching, but there is minimal homework and if youre interested in the topics you will enjoy",
