I've started taking a philosophy class over at West Chester. It's an intro class, and I think I'm supposed to feel out of my league, but not because of the course material.
The instructor, Professor Larry Udell, seems reasonably competent in teaching the subject of philosophy. In fact, I get the feeling that I would kind of like this guy. He seems pretty techie - just enough to get himself in trouble. I'm glad he's the instructor and that he is so well learned in philosophy, because otherwise I would be stuck. No, my problem with philosophy - and in particular this class - is actually the students in it.
I am continuously amazed by how I am thought to be ignorant of the knowledge required to perform my profession, and how I manage to take comments to that effect in stride.
