The student is expected to interpret that thinker's work. The student does not simply repeat what Kierkegaard, for example, said about faith, but reports what the student understands Kierkegaard to have meant. One might also venture a judgment of Kierkegaard's significance today. The boldest student will want to say what she or he thinks of the topic after having struggled with the thought of an important philosopher.

Text books are to be listed in the bibliography only if they have been cited in the paper.
