Temple College
Introduction to Philosophy 2018 - Present
I am teaching the topics of Free Will vs. Determinism, Philosophy of Religion, Ethics, External World Skepticism, Personal Identity, and Epistemology. The philosophers I am covering include Descartes, Hume, Mill, Kant, Plato, Aristotle, Locke, and Hobbes. I am responsible for designing the tests, administering and grading tests, resolving grade disputes, and helping students inside and outside of class to understand the material. In addition, I am tasked with restoring the instruction of philosophy at Temple College after years of philosophy not being offered.
University of Iowa
Philosophy & Just Society/Human Nature, Ethics, Meaning of Life 2009-2010, 2012-2013,2016
I taught Plato, especially the Republic, Hobbes, Rousseau, and Mills, specifically on Utilitarianism. In Philosophy and Human Nature I taught about personal identity, particularly the views of Descartes, Locke, and philosophers who support the body criterion, including Shoemaker. I ran discussion sections, administered and graded tests, helped students with term papers, and evaluated and graded term papers. I discussed test results with students and attempted to resolve disputes over grading – one of my duties was to determine which disputes I could resolve on my own and which disputes needed to be referred to my supervisor.
Logic (Principles of Reasoning) 2010-2011,2014-2015
I taught the difference between deductive and inductive arguments, as well as how to detect a fallacy in an argument, symbolic logic, truth tables, and probability. I taught class three times a week, administered and graded tests, put together tests, helped students with term papers, and evaluated and graded term papers.
Introduction to Philosophy 2011,2014
I taught a wide range of subjects, including personal identity, real world skepticism, philosophy of religion, ethics, and the relationship between mind and body.
