The best aspect of this course was the diverse philosophical subjects students got to explore through well-organized debates, discussions and class lectures. Students also found the sessions with the teaching assistants extremely helpful. The worst aspects of this course included the dul lectures, the long readings, and the vague essay expectations. The course would be improved if the lectures were clearer and more engaging. Prospective students should know that this is a very interesting introductory philosophy course that does require reading and a little thinking outside the box.

The best thing about this course was by far spending time with the kids at Kennedy Krieger Institute. Students came away feeling better connected to the concepts learned in the classroom, and humbled by the work of the nurses and doctors. The worst aspect of the course was having only one chance to visit KKI. It was suggested that there be more opportunities to visit KKI to improve the course. Prospective students should know that this course is rewarding and enjoyable, and it is highly recommended.

The best part about this class was getting to work with kids at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Some students would have liked the opportunity to visit the site more than three times during the semester. This course could be improved by offering more volunteer opportunities during the week and more frequently during the semester. Prospective students should know this course is super fun and rewarding. The course is pass/fail and based on attendance during three student chosen sessions at Kennedy Krieger Institute.
