What did you read in that class?
As far as life skills go, one of the most valuable courses I had was a senior philosophy class. Of the 14 students in the class, 12 were philosophy or theology majors studying to be priests.
Our weekly routine was class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At the end of Tuesday's class, our assignment for Thursday was "read this book", such as Wittgenstein, and prepare a two page, typewritten book report. It will be read in class, and be critiqued by your fellow students.
I was surprised by the A I received on my first paper, because I said the exact opposite of everyone else. The professor, one of the few Jesuits I had as professors, laughed and obliterated the veneer of "philosophy": he said, "with philosophy, it's not what you say, but how you say it. Philosophy is nothing but a bunch of BS."
I busted my tail in that class, spending 3-4 hours outside of class for every hour in class. I'm as proud of the B I earned, as any A I earned in other classes.
