Attendance: I do not give grades based on attendance and participation. However, attending class and engaging in discussion is essential - students who skip tend to fail or get poor grades. Pedagogical research and my experience concur that dialogue in the classroom is essential to comprehension. Attending school (a term originating in schole (leisure) and a prerequisite to self- flourishing) is also a luxury that you may never have again. Last but not least, it is harder to obtain strong reference letters if you do not attend any classes. Technology: You are permitted to use laptops during class, but only for class-related activities, Cell use is not permitted. IMPORTANT DATES Tue, Sep. 5: Classes begin, fall and fall/winter terms 2023-24 Mon, Sep. 18: Deadline for withdrawal with tuition refund (DNE) from fall-term and two-term courses Mon, Oct. 9: Thanksgiving Day , the university is closed Tue, Oct. 10: Mid-term break begins Sun, Oct. 15: Mid-term break ends Mon, Dec. 4: Last day of classes, fall term Tue, Dec. 5: Deadline for academic withdrawal (DISC) from fall-term courses UNDERGRADUATE GRADING SYSTEM Numerical Equivalents Page 6 of 34

In addition to all the other reasons for using gender neutral language and language that attends to human diversity, there are philosophical reason for this too. Philosophy demands that we think very carefully, clearly and rigorously about human life and ideas. To do this well, we have to attend to the diversity of human life. Otherwise we build in and reinforce prejudices that betray who we are as human beings. Using gender neutral language in your writing and speaking reminds us that human beings are diverse in gender, that not all of them are "he." And this reminds us of further diversities of human being. There are different ways of approaching the task of keeping gender and other differences in mind, e.g., substituting "she" where "he" might have traditionally been expected, alternating systematically between the two, using "she/he," and so on. No formal procedure is adequate to the task, for the task is improving your thinking and that of our culture and future generations, and the form of thinking adequate to this cannot be set in advance.

Appendix II. Research Paper Guidelines & Grading Rubric Format: Times New Roman, Size 12, Word document (no PDF) Submission: Electronic copy only in Moodle Definition : A research paper is a compilation and interpretation of factual materials and of critics’ opinions on a specific subject. Since the selection of materials is filtered and processed by the writer, the paper reflects the author’s views also; hence, it is both objective and subjective in content. Because the paper expresses the writer’s opinions, s/he must find a topic of interest from a work that s/he has read and examined. 7 Writing Process 1. Select a topic from our readings. 2. Write a tentative thesis to establish your purpose for research. This is what you are trying to support. After some reading, you may need to refine your thesis statement. 3. Prepare a working bibliography ( https://umb.libguides.com/PrimarySources/secondary ) 4. Take notes . There are various methods of note-taking. Some use index cards, others highlight their copies, and yet other use marginalia. Select the one that works better for you. If you select to use highlighting, use a different color highlighter for each topic within your subject (comparable to main points on the outline). 5. Make an outline using the information assembled from the notes. 6. Write a rough draft inserting parenthetical citations within the text. Personally, I like this method because it is immediately accessible to the reader. Moreover, it has been growing in popularity since it does away with footnotes and end notes. 7. Write a Bibliography. 8. Lay the paper aside (1-2 days) 9. Write the final copy and proofread On Substance Avoid the use of clichés . An essay is an academic mode of discourse. Casual language usage and sloppy argumentation that you would use in other contexts, such as your personal journal or conversations with friends, has no place in a paper. The more you strike a thoughtful and scholarly tone, the more your reader will trust your judgment. Use direct quotations sparingly. No more than 10% of your text should be direct quotes. When you are dealing with a richly textured passage a direct quotation both illustrates and advances your argument. However, quotations must be an aid to an argument, not a substitute for one . You should choose appropriate passages from the text and put them in your own words, taking care throughout the paper to capture the nuances of the text. Following each paraphrase, you should bring your own analytical voice to the forefront by 7 Source [per verbatim]: http://www.write.armstrong.edu/handouts/ResearchPapers.pdf Page 29 of 34

giving your own commentary. In other words, your paper should never strike the reader as a simple set of textual summaries. Cite only the sources you consult . Citing the source of your source, as if you had consulted it yourself, is misleading and deceptive, unless you explicitly acknowledge it (e.g., source X, as quoted in source Y, p. Z). Checklist for Essay / Paper 1. Does the paper provide a clear title? 2. Does the paper have a clear structure? 3. If the paper, has an Introduction, does it provide background information? 4. If the paper, has an Introduction, does it contain a Thesis Statement? (e.g., in this paper I will argue…” The focus of this essay will be…” 5. Does the paper avoid plagiarism?
