German Idealism

Is a fairly self contained subject. You could go through a degree or two without ever touching upon it unless you had to study Hegel for unrelated reasons. So, I don't see any reason he wouldn't be taught during the course or in a course of his own which is a prerequisite for the GI course, rather than in Phil 101.

Believe it or not, philosophy educators have a reasonably good idea of what they are doing.

Some do, some don't, generalizing is fun.
