I'm honored that you're checking out Philosophy courses and hope you'll decide to take the next step and register! For more about me and how I approach teaching and learning with you, please visit my PCC web page. You can also check my which includes general information about my courses and policies. I update it each term, so some of it will be specific to the current academic term but many details will stay the same across terms.

• I use labor-based grading in my courses, which means that the grade you earn is up to you and the amount of work you decide to complete. While there are requirements and standards for your work, if you meet them then your work receives credit. There are due date requirements, but partial credit is available for assignments submitted past the due date.

I typically modify my syllabi from one term to the next, but of PHL 202. I am changing to a new textbook for Fall '26, but this should give you a sense of my teaching approach and (generally) how assignments and attendance work in our course otherwise. The sample syllabus is for an in-person course with two weekly class meetings. Courses that meet weekly, as opposed to twice-weekly, may include additional assignments.

Please reach out with any further questions!
