Examination topics
To be determined.
Assessment and permitted materials
The course will be assessed via a 90-minute exam. Students will need to answer a series of short 'comprehension' questions and then answer 1 essay question from a choice of 4 questions. Students will be permitted to bring a dictionary with them into the exam. The use of electronic devices will be prohibited.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The exam contains both 'short answers' and an essay. A good 'short answer' will demonstrate a solid understanding of the relevant idea/issue/topic. An excellent essay will go beyond the explanation that was given in the lectures. A good essay will demonstrate a sound understanding of the relevant material and clearly state philosophical arguments. An excellent essay will demonstrate an ability to critically engage with those arguments. Beyond the minimum requirement of comprehensibility, linguistic issues (grammar, spelling) will not be taken into account.In order to prepare students for the exam I will offer a (non-compulsory) ‘practice exam’ prior to the real exam. Students will answer shorter questions and write an essay at home under exam conditions and submit it to me. I will provide constructive feedback. I will also discuss more general questions about how to write a good essay during class.
