For the first time,
the St. Philip's College Philosophy Faculty is recognizing an entire class. The students in this Philosophy course demonstrated academic excellence in critical thinking, logical reasoning, and the ability to analyze and evaluate philosophical concepts. 
Prof. Hill directly taught the students in this class and recommended them as a group for this award based upon their growth and development in the ability to analyze concepts, arguments, and problems and to apply advance critical thinking skills to specific philosophical problems.
"They came together as a group to think clearly and carefully about difficult ethical issues and to discuss the complex issues in the assigned case studies," says Prof. Hill. |
