This course fulfilled the Foundations Level Course and is a requirement for all freshman level students. However, there are several different CTZN 110 classes all having a different topic that is covered throughout the semester. The class that I took covered different theories of philosophy and ethics such as Cultural Relativism, Divine Command Theory, Kantian Ethics, and Utilitarianism. We also discussed the teachings of Socrates, Kant, and Aristotle. The class was very discussion based and we were taught the correct way to argue so that later on in our college careers and in life we would be able to talk about controversial topics in a mature way. Going along with the design of the class, our final exam was to have an argument on a controversial topic with our professor. While it was very nerve-wracking leading up to the final, the argument itself was actually very interesting because I was able to put my knowledge to the test and use the skills I had learned throughout the course.

Stella Morris, Fall 2018 Above is the link for some reading notes taken during this course. This assignment taught me the important skill of writing clear, easily understood reading notes.

Reflection: Rachels Relativism was one of the first readings we did in CTZN 110 and we had very specific requirements for our reading notes. This assignment gave me the opportunity to practice writing out coherent and important notes while reading which would help me when referring back to said reading. I know that there will be times when writing reading notes will seem like an unnecessary inconvenience but in the end it is always better to have them for things like studying and referring back to during class.  The ability to write sufficient reading notes is an important skill to have in college and this assignment has helped prepare me for future reading assignments in my other classes.
