Make sure to take notes as the teacher speaks because he doesn't post the slides on LEA.

Mr. Farnham is a great and enthusiastic teacher. Make sure to take notes as he does not post the slides. He explains topics well and is very kind so do not hesitate to ask questions if you do not understand.

I'm not a fan of studying philosophy, though I like to listen to other analyzing it. The class is fun and interesting, even half of the time I don't understand much till the teacher explains what's going on. Textbook is required. A lot of reading, a lot of assignments and a lot of note-taking.

Take notes, and listen. If you listen to the teacher's slides (Which is NOT hard to do -- considering the teacher's great speaker skills), you've got most of the homework done. Derrick lets you use your notes during every in-class assignment, so if you take good notes and are a decent critical thinker, you're good to go.
