REQUIREMENTS (grades will be based on these elements)
Length: ~650 words (longer entries are OK too!)
Include materials covered in the last 2 weeks. Choose as least the “primary” reading (the first one listed in the module) for EACH day. This means there will be a minimum of 4 items included if we’ve had 4 full class modules since your last submission. High-scoring responses will integrate concepts from most or ALL assigned materials
Take a philosophic or ethical approach to analyzing the material, rather than just summarizing it or focusing on scientific/technical aspects. Remember this is a class on ETHICS, so you should think and write like a philosopher!
Try to trace connections (or contrasts) between the different materials, rather than discussing different issues for each reading/film featured in your essay.
Posts should give specific evidence that you completed and understood the week’s assigned materials. This means directly responding to details from the reading (or podcast or film) so I know you completed it. Entries that do not specifically refer to points, arguments, quotes or scenes in the material, but simply lapse into generalizations or personal opinions, will receive a low score.
You may include personal reflections & experiences related to the topic, but these should not displace the assigned reading.
Finally, if you are aiming for an A+ (a truly flawless essay and perfect score), check out these tips on how to write like a philosopher: see #5-7 in particular, and the bottom section titled “SOME STRATEGIES FOR WRITING LIKE A PHILOSOPHER.”
5) DEFINITIONS & CATEGORIES
If you use technical term (e.g., “intrinsic value”), define what you mean by them; don’t assume readers know what you mean.
Critically examine the categories within which the discussion takes place (for example. what is meant when you say something is “valuable,” has “rights,” or is entitled to “equality”?)
6) COUNTER-ARGUMENTS
Anticipate objections: imagine what those who object to your views would say, and then respond to those objections. State whatever weaknesses you see in your position and then do your best to defend and strengthen your views. Mention any other issues that need to be resolved in order for the position you take to be completely supported.
