Is Philosophy 101 usually a hard course?

difficult answer, because can "x" our self may appear not "x". instance, in math students typically have difficulties understanding theorems , equations of various kinds. but, when isn't understood not clear. now, theorem or equation in mathematics clear , cogent, although not clear individual trying understand it. venture guess has happened of 1 time or another, in mathematics. equation seems unclear, because have deficiency in understanding it--the equation clear , makes sense. or, put way equation makes sense have hard time making sense of makes sense already, , because of such seems unclear isn't.

reason, impossible answer question. further, observation tells what's difficult 1 person isn't difficult , what's easy 1 may not easy another. give answer, based upon own experience alone, grave mistake on part , grave mistake on yours accepting it.

answer this: take class , introduce self reading material couple of days prior class' start. what's called investigatory read (which means on table of contents, read blurb on of book , skim on of chapters particularly interesting you). experience class week or two. if neither of these appeals you, drop class , money back--no harm has been done, right?

however, philosophy major myself can philosophy useful study, has interest in history of ideas , how have shaped societies.
