There may be as many as four pop quizzes in the course of the semester. The first paper will be handed in twice. The second paper will be turned in only in its final version, but you are encouraged to discuss your plans with either Harry or Professor Roush. You are also encouraged to discuss your papers with classmates, though all work you turn in is expected to be your own. I will hand out questions for both papers.
All deadlines are strict.
Late papers will be penalized. Extensions will not be given except in case of medical or family emergency. Philosophy progresses through discussion, so the ability to engage in fruitful discussions with others is a necessary skill of the endeavor, and a skill we will work to improve. Class participation will be judged by quality, not quantity, of contributions, and makes up a non-negligible part of the course grade. Assignments in this course are governed by the honor code.
