Abstract
This online certificate course, offered by the IAP Career College, aims to provide a wide introduction to the discipline of philosophy. The course work is broken down into six weeks of work, culminating in a final exam. Each week consisted of a reading requirement of two chapters from the text book, lecture slides to review, and a fifteen to twenty question quiz. This introduces students to a wide range of topics in philosophy, including a historical review of prominent philosophers, an understanding of metaphysics and epistemology, a review of normative, applied and meta-ethics, and a look at political and modern thought. The aim was to build foundational knowledge in the field and develop critical thinking, reading and writing skills.
