Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, you’ll develop skills required to complete various kinds of philosophical project. Ultimately, my goal is that you learn how to be a *professional* philosopher (rather than a professional *philosopher*).

The course consists of three units:

1. *Writing*: In this unit, we’ll discuss how to identify various kinds of philosophical project; in particular, three: (a) a 3-6 thousand word publication (3-6kwp), (b) a 6-9 thousand word publication (6-9kwp), and (c) a 9 thousand+ word publication (9+kwp):
We’ll do that by discussing exemplars of philosophical writing, constructing research schedules for publishing philosophical writing of our own, and in participating in a collaborative "writing workshop" (i.e., in seminar).

2. *Presenting*: In this unit, we’ll discuss both how to prepare to, and present our research. Ultimately, we’ll have a "mini-conference" in which we each prepare handouts, and present and discuss our research.

3. *Publishing*: In this unit, we’ll discuss both how to prepare to, and publish our work. Ideally, by the end of the course, you’ll have something to submit to a journal.

Assessment and permitted materials

There won't be a final examination. Rather, you will be asked to (a) attend seminar, (b) complete short, weekly assignments designed to prepare you for discussion, (b) present a work-in-progress, and (c) submit a final paper that meets the submission requirements of an academic journal of your choice.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

There will be several kinds of assignments:

1. Attendance: 10/100 points.
2. Weekly assignments: 30/100 points
3. Presentations: 30/100 points
4. Final papers: 30/100 points

Performance in each be assessed according to a rubric tailored to each assignment. These will be available to you on the course's website. Generally, though, each assignment will be evaluated on a scale of 1 (Insufficient) to 5 (Excellent).

Note: Attendance is mandatory, with an exception for two, excused absences.
