When did you take Logos, Cosmos, and Doubt (JLCD1), and who was your instructor?
I took JLCD1 last year with Dr. Walker-Dale.
What did you enjoy about Logos, Cosmos, and Doubt (JLCD1)?
JLCD1 was an amazing class because we learned so much over the span of the course, and then all the topics tied back into one another. Also, Dr. Walker-Dale was a great teacher. All her classes were fun and engaging, even when I had literally no understanding of the reading at all.
What challenged you the most in Logos, Cosmos, and Doubt (JLCD1)? How did you overcome those challenges?
Honestly some aspect of all of the course material was confusing to me. Going to office hours/PMing Dr. Walker-Dale was incredibly helpful.
What tips do you have that could be useful to students taking Logos, Cosmos, and Doubt (JLCD1)?
Ask questions. Whenever I was confused, I would send emails to my teacher. It also helps to keep a journal, since you can write down notes or whatever in preparation for class. Also, make sure to do the class prep ahead of time.
About how much time did you spend a week working on assignments and preparing for discussion sessions in Logos, Cosmos, and Doubt (JLCD1)?
Usually around 3-4 hours per week, sometimes depending on how difficult the materials were.
What did the typical week in Logos, Cosmos, and Doubt (JLCD1) look like?
Usually, you have two (closely related) readings or videos per week, one in prep for each class meeting. Also, every other week, a writing assignment is due.
What was your favorite topic covered in Logos, Cosmos, and Doubt (JLCD1)?
I particularly enjoyed reading Ishmael by Daniel Quinn and discussing witchcraft.
Do you have any resources (i.e. study tips, useful websites) to share with students who want to take the course?
Ask for the class slides. I did that a lot and it was great for studying. The WTC is also really helpful for proofreading your work/making your ideas clear.
