The course introduced nothing new over what the students could get in High School or in other courses. Class sizes were too large, which made it difficult for students to be engaged in the class and for instructors to give adequate feedback. The course was poorly organized, and not well focused. God and Persons We think that Philosophy requirement, God and Persons is one of the best core classes because it engages students in learning and questioning their beliefs about God, free will, and science in religion. The class work includes challenging readings from various philosophers.
Students dissect and compare conflicting theories.
The class promotes group discussion, during which students learn to logically defend their beliefs. Papers require students to think about and research difficult questions dealing with the concept of the person and the possibility of life after death. The class requires critical thinking. It challenges students to expand, defend, or even change their current views and beliefs. We feel that students experience personal growth during the class.
