This course was a last minute add to my schedule, but still something I was eager to be a part of. Up until this point, I had not taken any special topics courses or any non-liberal studies courses aside from Citizen 110. This course was refreshing in that aspect because I felt like I was seeing college through a wider lens. This course had intentions of influencing our relationships, friendships, and even our values on a deeper level. Personally, I did not feel affected by this course on any deep levels, but I did find it interesting to learn about the origins of the emotions and values involved with love and the different perspectives others take on. This course was a fun and unique experience for my college career. While some readings were modern and relatable, some were very challenging reads and did not feel applicable for that reason. The in-class explanations (that were simplified versions of the readings) were absolutely necessary for me to get a decent understanding of the purpose and point of the text. I appreciated the challenge and the experience of this course, but it was enough philosophy for my career!

Most written assignments for this course were basic research and reflection of the readings we were currently studying. However, the final was a fun and meaningful reflection of the course as a whole through a wedding toast for a friend. The attached toast was my final project and is a culmination of the main points I took away from the course. LSF Final
