Read each question carefully to make sure what you are asked to do. The goal is to demonstrate your understanding of the course materials and your ability to express your own views on the issues they raise. This requires, at a minimum, that you explain all key concepts and reconstruct in some detail the relevant philosophical arguments we examined. Please consult the grade rubric in the syllabus for guidance about what is required for each grade range.
Your answer should be as concise as possible but as long as it needs to be to fully explain the philosophical position under discussion and offer your interpretation of that position. I estimate that you cannot accomplish this in fewer than 750 words per answer.
Each answer is worth 10 points, except for a bonus question worth 5 points.
