Write about three pages on one of the following topics. In writing your essay, feel free to build on insights from the discussion boards.
Reflecting on the three weeks of our class thus far and considering your personal experiences and prior exposure to philosophy, please discuss which aspects of philosophy you have discovered to be highly meaningful. How do these insights contribute to your comprehension of philosophy’s role in understanding the human experience?
Using specific insights from the three weeks of our class thus far and connecting them with your own experience with moral problems, develop your own “theory of ethics.” Which elements of your theory are essential when considering morality and moral judgment?
I’ll evaluate your exams mainly by the following criteria:
Originality of your ideas
Development of thoughts
Style of writing
- Ensure you give yourself enough time to revise and edit your paper carefully.
What is the difference between ‘okay and ‘excellent?’
- Understanding the expectations of an assignment both before you begin it and after you have received feedback is essential. I want to provide you with as much insight as possible so you may meet your expectations. Please review Expectations for Written Exams, then contact me with any questions as you begin to write your exam or once I have provided feedback on your work.
