Question

1. If you have never taken a philosophy class before, in a general sense what do you know and think about philosophy? What are your fears, excitements, curiosities etc about taking this philosophy class?
2. What is your experience with online classes? What expectations, excitements, challenges, worries etc do you have about this online class?

Answer 1

1. Philosophy is a study about the life and its existence, it is a study of the emotions we feel, its a study about ourselves. The excitements for taking a philosophy class is that after attending those classes, we would be able to better manage ourselves as we would know why we react to somethings in a particular manner...etc. The curiosities are, will we be able to find a single set of philosophical rules which would not have any drawbacks as the negative emotions in the people are also necessary in motivating the person in some cases.

2. The experience is average not too awesome, some online classes are too long which makes it boring, including some quizes and conceptual questions in between the video will really help in reducing that, and it will also help in keeping track of our progress. It is exciting to know that we can learn whatever we can just by sitting at home. The worries are whether the certification which we get by doing the online course will be valued or not.
