Philosophy

[PiKA2001]

I had a Philosophy of Religion class that was held Mon-Thur and the instructor decided to start every class with a quiz on the days reading assignment. Apparently he was super concerned that people would come to his class without reading the material so he decided to weigh these quizs to be 60% of the final grade. It bothered me that we were getting tested on the material BEFORE we even discussed it in class. There were a few times that I was tempted to leave after taking the quiz but I never did.

I think I may have done better in a class that allowed for that. I'm all about discussion but this was more like an overview of philosophers, not very interactive. What were the debates like?
