Peter Suber courses
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/courses.htm
This is the course website of former Profesor of Philosophy at Earlham College, Peter Suber, and features a variety of undergraduate teaching material on a number of topics, including: ethics; Kant; metaphilosophy; artificial intelligence; philosophy of law; rationalism and empiricism; scepticism; symbolic logic; and logical systems. The range and extent of material varies from course to course, and while some of it is clearly only of interest to students enrolled in the course, there is much of broader value here. There are, for instance, various guides to taking notes, making presentations and leading discussions, and writing papers. The Essay Assignment section as found on many of the individual course pages gives detailed and sound advice. There are also some subject-specific items of note, such as a set of logic exercises, and some discursive handouts on classical scepticism (on the Skepticism page), the ontological argument (on the Rationalism and Empiricism page), and various aspects of logical systems. Other topics, such as Kant and Metaphilosophy, are presented primarily in terms of a series of detailed questions designed to point the student towards key aspects of the subject. Of particular note is the Kant page, with a variety of pages that aid the student in navigating the complex structure and concepts of Immanuel Kant's (1724-1804) Critique of Pure Reason. There are also lists of sites of subject-specific and general philosophical interest, though some of the links are now outdated. This site would be of use to the undergraduate looking for basic information on the topics covered, or in search of guides to good practice in philosophical writing and presentation.
