Taken in YR 1 SEM 1 (2014)
I took this mod partly because this was one of the few mods
still available for bidding in round 3, I was getting desperate. Also, I was
interested and still am in philosophy. But I did not have any prior exposure
nor experience in studying philosophy. It was really crazy, there was only a
few other freshies in the whole class. By whole class I mean around 20+
students only? The rest of the class consisted of year 3/4 seniors who seemed
like they studies philosophy before like it was their major/minor?
I had NO idea what was going on in the lectures. Whatever
that came out of my prof's(Saranindranath Tagore) mouth seemed like gibberish/
nonsensical. And he talked really fast so I just tried to take down as much
notes that I could and went home hoping I would understand them. Well, after
maybe half the sem, I got the hang of it and started understanding and even
enjoying the lectures as well as content. The prof was extremely entertaining
and animated, making lectures really fun. Well, in the end I scored only a B-
which I felt really contented with because I thought I didn't understand
anything and kept the B-, although in retrospect I should have SUed it. This is
my most fulfilling module in NUS so far because I started from 0 and actually
enjoyed and passed it in the end, PLUS I didn't have any friends who took it
with me, I mostly studied it alone.
