This course was not fun to take. Everything we learn is restricted to two books that are collections of essays. The class is centered on the physicalist vs. dualist debate on whether the mind is the brain or is separate from the brain. If that does not sound interesting to you, then the class will not be interesting. The class is not engaging as the professor lectures for the entire time.
You must read the 20+ paged essays for each class or you will fall behind. The professor professes how each author makes their argument, but that might not clarify the concepts.
The essay topics are arguing for an author's argument and/or evaluating the strength of an argument.
There is no extra credit.

Professor Langsam was very nice in class and clearly deeply cared about what he was teaching. However, the readings were very dense and complicated, and more often than not the lecture was more him getting into the details of the paper rather than explaining it to us in a simpler way.
The grade consisted entirely of 4 papers, which was pretty fair. He graded the papers fairly nicely I would say.
