“This IPO Essay Preparation class has been an incredibly rigorous and intellectually stimulating experience. The instructor does a phenomenal job of breaking down complex epistemological and ethical frameworks, challenging us to think critically rather than simply memorize concepts. The depth of the discussions and the analytical precision required in our essay-writing practices have completely elevated my approach to philosophical inquiry.”

“I’ve really enjoyed the Journalism and Creative Writing course. The assignments revolve around interesting and imaginative questions rather than conventional or repetitive topics, encouraging us to think outside the box and approach ideas from fresh perspectives.
I particularly appreciate how our instructor, Lucie Kealey, welcomes every point of view and encourages us to express our thoughts without hesitation. Her supportive teaching style makes the sessions engaging and creates an environment where we feel comfortable experimenting with different writing styles and ideas. The course has helped me become more open-minded, think more creatively, and appreciate how differently a single question can be interpreted.Overall, it has been a genuinely enriching experience!”
