She explains everything really well, both she and the TAs are great to talk to if you are actually into philosophy. There are many options for you to improve your overall grade if you don’t do really well in the exams. Again, if you really are into philosophy, take this class, it’s food for thought.

This professor might honestly be one of the worst professors I have ever come across in all my years. her arrogance and strict policies make me believe that she is teaching this course for the sole purpose of lowering everyone's GPA. The course content is so difficult that even the TAs find some of the content to be difficult. If you are considering taking this class as a gen-ed, don't.

PHIL100 with Professor Schechter is way harder than a 100-level gen-ed should be. She treats it like an upper-level major class. Technology isn’t allowed in class, and she doesn’t let students take their exams back. She guards everything like they’re nuclear codes. I would highly recommend picking a different gened.

Class is interesting but not easy if you are not a philosophy major. I would not recommend taking this class as a gen-ed.

cool professor, very knowledgeable and smart. The content is cool, but I think her structure and assignments suck the fun out of the content. I wish she left more time and space for class discussion instead of forced group work. Pretty easy class though, and she gives great feedback.

The course was fine. Interesting stuff and the prof knew how to get a discussion going. The thing is I didn’t feel like I was actually learning that much because the discussions were so poorly structured/designed and they took up So Much Time. It seemed like the prof basically used discussions to cover up her lack of preparedness. Mind you this was a 400-level course but she came in with the attitude of trying to get us to discuss very superficial stuff; that really discouraged me from doing the readings.
