Come to think of it: the manner in which I am teaching the course is nearly identical to the reading list followed when I took it as an undergraduate. Essentially the classical texts from Hofstadter's and Kuhn's Philosophies of Art & Beauty. But rather than two in-class exams and two papers like I did, I am having my students accomplish three take home exams and two 5 minute presentations where they bring in some artwork that they think evidences immediately and tangibly an aesthetic theory discussed in the course. The exams and presentations in addition to six short reading comprehension homework assignments over the course of the semester.
I have embedded the video below for After Nature readers, as well.
