Woodruff was such a great person and teacher. She was very accommodating and very sweet. This class was very chill, readings every night but only one paper and a few exams that were light. Would stongly recommmend
I really enjoyed this class, Professor Spackman is really enthusiastic and super knowledgable on the material. The reading is also fascinating, I mean it gets dense and some of the concept's get difficult to wrap your head around, but going into these rabbit holes for me was really cool. Also, being at Midd, the class discussions were great because everyone is really smart and they have some great perspectives on it. So the discussions were really awesome. Of course being a Philosophy class, there is some intense writing and going through some complicated ideas to express what you want to, but other than that those peaks, I found the class manageable. Just pace yourself with the reading and when writing the essays, brainstorm your ideas ahead of time and go talk to Professor Spackman and he'll help you shape it. Overall, I would really recommend this class, I got a lot out of it.

The class was new when I took it, so it was a little all over the place, but I liked it that way! Prof Viner is very accommodating and always wants to workshop your ideas for papers. It was just sort of about observing the judicial process and how we created things like jails and like moral ideals. The class was good because we had to read the main readings that you would have to know in order to take another philosophy class like John Locke and Russo.
