Philosophy for Beginners

Great lecturer but this appears to be an outreach programme rather than an undergraduate course. Too many questions from boomers (you can just tell) who seem to have been dropped on their head at birth and don’t know when to shut up and let the lecturer carry on.

Interesting topic areas and I’m sure the lecturer has amazing knows to impart but a lecture relying on slides and hard to hear audience participation is not an ideal format for podcasts - especially of this length - reminding me why I no longer want to go to uni to learn things - there are more efficient ways

The professor is great. The information is well set out. Might be paced a little fast. Not as much unpacking for some things. The problem is the sound. The background buzz, audience members coughing close to the microphone, the difficulty in hearing the audience, and the occasional feedback. Don’t listen to this with headphones. You’ll do yourself some damage. Such a shame because the actual content is great.

Great intro into some basic philosophic theories. Sound isn’t too bad but given at times there are interactions with the audience which are not picked up well by the microphone. For a university, professional sound recordings should be a given but the lecture is still well worth listening to.
