John Hick 313 Mon. Dec. 6 Class Debate Fri. Discussion is not a formal requirement of the course, but it can be very helpful to both students and professor. I hope that you will regularly interrupt me to ask for clarification or to discuss what is being presented. Please do not bite off more than you can chew.
Quality is far more important than quantity.
If you would like the chance to improve the grade on one or more of your short papers, you are more than welcome to rewrite the paper without penalty . I will then count only the grade of the revised paper towards your final grade. Russell's book is a semi-popular defense of atheism and a critique of Christianity. Do not fret if you cannot always think of something deep or profound of your own to say about Russell's or Lewis' arguments. The grade for the paper will be partly a function of how well you explain the arguments and views of your chosen author.
