PHIL 3780

Professor Arras is so smart and is very knowledgeable about this subject. Unfortunately, that made me feel pretty intimidated and overwhelmed because he held us to such a high standard that I felt many students were too intimidated to participate.
There is a lot of reading every week, and it is pretty dense.
Philosophy requires such a different kind of thinking and writing that I highly recommend taking a beginner level Philosophy course before taking this class. I didn't, and it was really hard.

An excellent class covering reproductive ethics. Prof. Arras does a good job of keeping the class on topic and moving forward. For example, the course could easily degenerate into a semester-long argument over abortion, but Arras kept that from happening. He is also exceedingly fair in evaluating arguments - don't think that by agreeing with him you're going to get a good grade.
