In accord with the belief that the best way to learn to write is by writing, students will be required to keep a philosophical journal. On most days that class meets, you will be given a writing assignment, which is to be recorded in the journal.
All assignments are to be taken seriously.
Occasionally, an assignment will count as a quiz. Journals may be examined by the teacher at any time. If you get behind once, you will be given a warning. If you persist in being behind you will be given a failing grade for the course. A failure to have the expected assignments by the end of the semester will also result in a failing grade.
