You get what you put in. A huge amount of content is covered from tons of different philosophies, and the readings go fairly in depth into each of them. Professor Spackman goes over everything in class, so you can easily get by without doing the reading. Professor Spackman is an incredible teacher with passion and knowledge and will always hear you out. It's easy to blend into the back of the class and ignore what's going on, but if you pay attention and engage it can be a lot of fun.

Spackman is a great teacher who very clearly loves the material and loves a good discussion. The class provides the opportunity to really pay attention or clock out for an hour both of which will be entertaining in their own way. A couple of 7 page papers but come naturally if you pay enough attention in classes.
Prof. Spackman is obviously very passionate about the material that he lectures on. Really the only work throughout the semester is constant readings and intermittent papers. The papers are average length, but slightly different than any papers I've written before. Overall, not too difficult and the material is very interesting.
