I was thinking about taking Intro to Moral Philosophy for my W requirement. Considering I have never studied philosophy before, is it an easy course to keep up with?

    no

    none of the philosophy courses are "easy" 

    most people take intro to moral thinking it will be but are surprised at how difficult it actually is. You are in the A range if you get 80+

    When I took this course, the average on the papers was 50-60% with some people getting less than 10%

    Plus there is lots of theory to memorize and the multiple-multiple choice is very difficult. I put in an immense amount of effort in order to do well in this course. I supposed it depends on who you take it with...but if you take any phil course, prepare to work hard

    Don't take PHIL courses unless you have to. The philosophy department is infamous at SFU

    If its with heide, you should fine 120w in the least bit entertaining. hard, but entertaining.

    I remember getting around mid 70ish percentage or so, but got an A minus due to the bell curve.
    In all honesty, if you know you are good at writing, the class should be a breeze
    Got over 90% on all of the assignments, but practically got a 0 in the finals.

    none of the PHIL courses are easy. I dont recommend taking any of them, unless u wonna kill ur GPA.

    Out of all of them though which is the best/easiest one out of them that you would recommend to take for a n00b but is required to take a PHIL.

    But a heart attack is indeed just alien space martins escaping from the body... I read it in a book. Therefore, he or she is right.
