this is a really hard class. I got an A, but it was prob one of the most challenging classes i've taken. i don't know anything about philosophy. this was my first class in the field. not the best idea. since there are tons of references that i didn't understand. in the end the references were of little importance, but they really confused me during lecture. the philosophers that are discussed in class are arguably some of the most influential thinkers of the last 250 yrs. so taking the class has important implications for anyone interested in history, sociology, polisci. it was very hard. but i am glad i took the class. if you need help, talk to the professor at his office hrs. approaching him is intimidating and uncomfortable. he's pretty introverted and can make you feel like you're on your own, but just make sure you go in with some questions because he's not going to guide the conversation! he'll just sit there waiting for you to say something. YOU MUST KEEP UP ON THE READINGS OR YOU WILL HAVE NOT IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON AND YOU WILL NOT FIGURE IT OUT IF YOU WAIT TILL LAST MINUTE!!! start thinking about the essays (there are 2 total) early and go to McCumber w/ your ideas. if you're way off he'll steer you in the right direction. very nice guy in the end.
