Virtual Text: http://philosophy.ucdavis.edu/mattey/phi102/index.html
Course Requirements:
There will be an in-class final examination, open-book (not open-notes), comprising 40% of the grade. There will be two papers of roughly 1500-words, which will be analyses of specific problems discussed in class. The papers will be weighted 30% each. All work must be completed for the course to be passed. Late papers will be docked one level (e.g., A- to B+) per two working days late. If, without prior permission, the final examination is not taken at the scheduled time or any paper is delinquent at the time of the final, a grade of F will be assigned for the course. Permission from the instructor must be obtained
