Ihum

<p>I already checked the past IHUM threads, but found limited advice pertaining to my situation.</p>

<p>I'm an '13er, and I have to decide soon if I would rather take "Freedom, Equality, Difference", "Laws and Orders", or "Truth and Morality." They all seem pretty interesting to me. Can anyone shed some light on which of the three has the best teachers, most interesting assignments, least reading, etc? I am mostly concerned about the reading load at this point, as I am a slow reader. Any help is appreciated.</p>

<p>I took Freedom, Equality, and Difference (called FED). I loved professor Rob Reich who co-taught the course with two other professors so about every 1 in 3 classes was interesting. The best part was the discussion sections when we got to truly have an open ended discussion mediated, but not necessarily directed, by our TF. The reading was Locke, Mills, Defoe, and a bunch of Supreme Court cases if I remember correctly. It was relatively light because Locke and Mills are short books and the cases, although long, can be easily skimmed or researched online. Worst part was the final where they tried to cram way too much writing into a 3 hour period.</p>

<p>Thanks, that was really helpful. </p>

<p>One more question: knowing what you know now, would you take the course again or choose a different IHUM?</p>

<p>I would take it again. The topics were really very interesting and the sections pretty chill. Much better than my winter/spring ihum. Not a lot of work compared to some ihums.</p>

<p>How is Humans and Machines?</p>
