Details about this class

I'm honored that you're checking out Philosophy courses and hope you'll decide to take the next step and register! For more about me and how I approach teaching and learning with you, please visit my PCC web page. 

I use labor-based grading in my courses, which means that the grade you earn is up to you and the amount of work you decide to complete. While there are requirements and standards for your work, if you meet them that's all you need to do! There are no lateness penalties (though there are some deadline requirements); if your work meets the requirements, it counts - that's it. It's still work, but you determine your level of involvement and how that works for you over a term. For more on labor-based grading (sometimes also called contract grading), check out this article.

I typically modify my syllabi from one term to the next, at least slightly, but here is the version from Fall '23 that you can check out. 

Technology

There is no additional technology required for this class.

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class. It is important to log in as soon as the class starts to see what the participation requirements are.
