Here it is an upper level, capstone class for seniors ready to graduate. Here, the student must apply for admission to this class. I think the intention is to revisit or provide discussion of historical context and classical philos perspectives. The idea is to provide a framework that integrates the diverse classes and perspectives the student has encountered. It also serves to stimulate more mature discussion of historical and epistemological issues. I think personally, there is no reason why students could not be given some historical context earlier, except for the level of discussion and work expected.

I notice that almost always, it looks as if it is an upper division, if not actually senior level, course. For some reason, we have it as a 200-level (sophomore) course. I'm not sure what the rationale was for putting it at the 200-level, but for those of you who teach it as upper division, do you have a sense of why it is taught there and not earlier? If so, please share : ). If your school offers it as lower-division, what are the reasons for that? We are re-visiting our curriculum in general this year, so your comments may help with some decision-making about the class' placement. Thanks! Lisa Gassin Elizabeth (Lisa) A.
