Participation in class discussions is part of the course. Furthermore, as with most philosophy, the material in this course is best understood, and most easily learned, through discussion. Accordingly, each student will be allowed three absences for the semester. It is advisable to save these for sickness or other emergencies. Homework Occasional homework exercises may be assigned from time to time.
Papers are, of course, due on the date assigned.
No credit will be given for papers more than one week late. Examinations There will be three regular, in-class examinations, including the final examination. Any student who misses an exam must arrange for a make-up exam as soon as possible. It is the student's responsibility to see about arrangements for any make-ups. Make-up exams will be arranged only for students who have documented, excused absences for the day of the original exam.
