| − | + | First-Year Preceptorial is a class designed to teach incoming [[first-year]] Knox [[Students]] how to think critically about any and everything. It is taught only [[fall term]] and is one of the highly elusive [[preceptorial]] courses. | |
| + | |||
| + | The pieces (usually books or shorter written works) taught in this class are voted on by the [[faculty]], theoretically ensuring a wide variety of topics are addressed. The actual teachers of the class come from all disciplines and students are randomly assigned to each teacher, ensuring that class construction is done in the style of Russian Roulette; often, with equally disastrous, brains on the wall-esque results. This is also the class where many first years suddenly realize they are [[philosophers]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This realization is very liberating for the [[first year]], loosening their tongue and lips so that they are suddenly gifted with a direct thought-to-speech link that allows them to speak at length on any given topic. Strangely, many have reported this transformation also adds a muffled quality to the first year's voice, as if his/her head were up his/her [[ass]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In summation: FP sucks. Don't judge a professor by how they teach FP. Odds are, they don't like it any better than you do. | ||
