One paper may be waived if projects are ambitious. This is a course that touches issues of great sensitivity. No student will ever be obliged to work in areas that are personally unpleasant. The atmosphere of the individual class sessions will be one of tolerance and respect for multiple points of view. Attendance and Due Dates Each class session in Philosophy 236 is very important.
Every student is responsible for all the material in every session.
