<p>What core courses are really good/bad? If anyone knows anything about the following courses, that would really help me out:</p>
<p>CSOC 130, Murderous Neighbors, Compassionate Strangers: Disparate Responses to Genocide</p>
<p>HUM 122, Utopia / Dystopia</p>
<p>IPE 111, The Beautiful Game</p>
<p>PHIL 102, The Posthuman Future</p>
<p>PHIL 104, Freedom of the Will and the Concept of a Person</p>
<p>PHIL 109, Life, Death, and Meaning (I REALLY want to know about this one)</p>
<p>PHIL 108, Infinity and Paradox</p>
<p>And in general, are there any teachers that are known as being really good/really bad?</p>
<p>For those of you who were interested in the answer, I’ll post the answers I get from UPS’s admitted student website as I get them.</p>
<p>accepted student: “you should check out the rate my professor website. a lot of times they’ll give you info from students about the class and the professor if you know the name of the professor teaching the class.”</p>

<p>"Phil. 102 is pretty incredible - it’s offered as an upper division course occasionally as well, and so the material is both challenging and incredibly interesting. It involves discussions of prozac, man-made organs, robotics, etc - all that cool stuff that you’ve always wondered about but never gotten the chance to really engage with!</p>
<p>The Beautiful Game, IPE 111, is taught by my favorite professor on campus, Mike Veseth. He started the IPE department at this school, and is genuinely one of the most impassioned educators I’ve ever met. He’s a stringent grader and expects a lot of his pupils, but he teaches economics in an incredibly dynamic way that enhances the way students understand complex interacts between people, nations, and economies."</p>
