Took HPS250 last summer with prof Fermin Fulda. Very chill course with clear explanations and regular participation marks, 1 midterm, 1 essay and a final. Midterm and final were straightforward with basic definitions and multiple long-answer options. Professor offered essay topic choices and allowed custom topics with discussion. The teaching team provided strong support knowing many students had never taken philosophy before, and the TA offered essay outline reviews. Loved the course.
