Description:

Discussion sections for Philosophy 25B will give students a chance to discuss some of the major themes addressed in the course and raise questions related to the course material. Our discussion sections will most likely involve reviews of lectures with Q&A sessions; close textual analyses; group work; and possibly student-led presentations.

Participation:

Section attendance and participation are required. These factors will be taken into account when calculating your final grade. I expect students to come to section with specific questions or general issues they would like to discuss. (Please try to let me know ahead of time if you will not be able to make section.)

Assignments:

All course assignments must be submitted to . A hard copy must be submitted as well in lecture on the due date. If you are unable to come to lecture on the due date, please make arrangements with me at least 48 hours before the deadline. You may request an extension 72 hours before the deadline. After then, extensions will be granted only for medical and family emergencies.

Grading:

I will be using Jim Pryor’s grading guidelines when I assess your work:

Grade disputes:

I am always happy to explain grades and comments on particular assignments.

Students who wish to dispute grades on an assignment must do so in writing. Grade dispute letters, along with a Xeroxed copy of the assignment, must be placed in my mailbox in the Graduate Student Lounge in 301 Moses. Keep in mind that I may raise or lower grades after reviewing assignments.

Academic Dishonesty:

“Any test, paper or report submitted by you and that bears your name is presumed to be your own original work that has not previously been submitted for credit in another course unless you obtain prior written approval to do so from your instructor.”

—Report of the Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Subcommittee, June 18, 2004.

You are expected to be familiar with the definitions of academic dishonesty in the Code of Student Conduct, which can be found here: .
