Cadet Comments
"I felt the lessons in RS 103 on logic and critical thinking and the presentation on the “Morality of Killing in War” were excellent. Additionally, the extensive explanation of the opportunities here at West Point from the upper-class cadet panels were extremely useful.”

"Not only did RS 103 help me to learn study methods to improve my academic performance, it taught me a great deal about the other aspects of West Point that no one else really explains. I learned how important it is to approach instructors and that you pursue things that you are interested rather than just sit back and wait."

"RS 103 was an amazing class. All of the unique and mentally stimulating articles and lectures definitely improved my cognitive ability to interpret information and make decisions."
