She literally reads from a piece of paper. Just read her books. Not worth the class time.

Comment:

This class is incredible. Korsgaard gives a deep, sustained, sympathetic reading of Kant's "Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals". The short papers are hard, but Kant's arguments are complex and need the attention. Korsgaard's lectures are extremely clear and well-presented. Her books, esp. Kingdom, are excellent supplements.

Comment:

Too stuck on herself, if that counts for anything. It doesn't make learning interesting. Philosophy is inherently interesting though.
