Ethics

I took this course with prof zainab during summer 2021. We have weekly readings, the readings are difficult to understand alone, but they are explained very well during class. You just have to take notes. We had a paper and a final exam. the paper is about giving objections about an ethical theory we took in class, and writing about a new theory that we see is the best. the final consists of question about the lectures. The prof is very good and the class is interesting, we always have discussion ( 20% of the grade was for attendance and participation)

I took this course with Muhannad online during the summer semester. The course talks about different ethical theories across several periods. He explains the concepts really well, and there are two exams. It is a good course to take as a first course in philosophy.

Very cool professor and fair grader. Only 2 exams and no papers.

Low workload and high grades, and he's really cool and fun

Mahmoud Rasmi gives a low workload and good grades, and the class is to live for, never missed any

Very fun lectures and very nice teacher. i love the classes and discussions, one of the best philosophy teachers

He's really cool, you'll enjoy his class and the class discussions, not very generous with grades but he's fair.

Mahmoud is good, I would definitely advise the course with him

Hassanieh is okay, low workload but kind of strict with attendance and participation. His classes are very interactive and gradewise I think he's acceptable

Difficult to get high grades. You have to memorize what he talks about in class write down notes from the powerpoint presentation ( he doesn't post them on moodle), write it in a smart way in exams. You can get 80s if you have a general understanding of the topic and have some opinion write it along with some memorized concepts of course

Ali is amazing, easy course and enjoyable high grades attainable

He did not give anyone 90s and he is being very strict in grades and attendance. And very high workload 3 quizzes 3 tests and an optional essay.

Fares provides recordings of everything and you have to memorize everything

1- In James' course you learn more stuff, he covers a lot of philosophers a lot of topics In Bashar's class you reflect on your own ideas 2- With James, higher workload 3- With James, what you need to study is veryyyy clear and his slides are extremly clear whereas in Bashshar's class his interesting discussion might get a bit confusing at some point, because he's not following a strict plan, it's really a discussion 4- if you work hard, James puts higher grades

I recommend Ali, Take notes and u can end the course with a 90

I took it with him in spring. He did not give anyone 90s and he is recently being very strict in grades and attendance. And toooo much workload 3 quizzes 3 tests and an optional essay.

Phil 210 is very easy and quite interesting. Karam wahab is a good teacher, as ive been told. I took it with paul spohr, he is a great teacher, explains really well. The readings are not that hard so if you don't mind reading articles, go for it. I dnt knw about phil 209 but i knw that bana bashour is very nice. Good luck!

I took philo 209 with rabih and philo 210 with james both are excellent in terms of explanation, james is very systematic with fair grades and the proportion of quizzes percentages is well studied, rabih is very interesting, he delivers his message in a funny understandable way( much less workload)
