    | Would highly recommend.

    Not too easy. Not too difficult.

    Course Overview:

    This class challenges what you know, what you think you know, and how you came to know it. It also is nice to talk to fellow classmates about deep subjects.

    Course highlights:

    I learned about the history of philosophy and different schools of thought. The political philosophy section is very relevant too!

    Hours per week:

    3-5 hours

    Advice for students:

    The class is very forgiving. All it takes is an open mind and the ability to think critically.
