For our Philosophy class we had to schedule individual
meetings with our Professor to discuss our Midterm Exam and a recent Critical
Essay we wrote. I thought this would be a perfect time to gather some more
information and talk to Dr. Stevenson for this week’s Campus Safari. His
office is located in ENG D211 in the Philosophy Department and is most easily
reached by his email,
stevensong1@southernct.edu.
In our meeting I asked him what he is looking for specifically in the upcoming
debates we will be having. He responded by saying that clarity is important as
well as staying true to your side. He also said that he would be grading us
individually about how well we are educated in our viewpoint. Secondly, I asked
him about an Argumentative Essay he recently assigned. He said that it does not
matter what you think but WHY you think that. He really stresses the concept of
backing up your values and having examples as evidence. These ideas will be
helpful in other courses as well. Overall, he is a super friendly professor who
is highly educated in his field. Philosophy is not so easily understood but he
makes it possible for you to do well.
