It is hoped that the student will become familiar with some important areas of philosophical concern, with questions philosophers find important, and with the methods they employ to approach these questions. There will four in-class exams in this course. The exams will consist of 50 multiple-choice questions. You will need ScanTron forms for each exam. Each exam will be worth 100 points.
Students are responsible for all assigned readings and lecture material for each exam .
Should you miss an exam for an excused reason, you will need to see me to schedule a time to take the make up exam. Should you miss the exam for an unexcused reason, a make up exam will not be given. If you are uncertain about a topic, please see me. You will need to have your topic selected and approved by me no later than October 31. The paper should contain a statement of the philosophical topic, your position regarding the issue or identified problem, and any counter-arguments that are relevant.
