PHI at John Jay PHI 231 - The Big Questions: an Introduction to Philosophy Professor Reviews Kyoo Lee• 3y Sophomore PSY Signed up for a philosophy class not a writing class. I did not learn a thing about philosophy because shes so focused on writing. Shes a writer not a philospher. Makes you write a 16 page paper without any knowledge of philosophy and to top it off its one of the hardest papers you will write in your academic career. This class was a Waste of time Kimberly Baxter• 3y Sophomore PSY She just reads of the powerpoint. One of the most boring class I ever had in my life.
