This is an argumentative essay on a philosophy topic.  You will make an argument on some philosophy topic covered in this course this semester.  The specific topic is up to you, so long as it comes from within the scope of the material covered in the course (this includes material in the readings, even if it was not specifically addressed in a class discussion or assignment).  This essay must be at least 500 words in length and no more than 1000 words (these totals are for the body of the essay only and do not include anything else).
Points of Emphasis:
Your essay must include an underlined thesis statement in the beginning of the essay.
Your essay must include quotations and citations from course reading materials, and only course reading materials.  No outside materials may be used as sources for this course. See the list of approved sources at the bottom.  Use APA in-text citations.
A three part format is best for this assignment: brief intro paragraph at the beginning where you tell the reader what you are going to do (including the thesis statement), brief conclusion paragraph at the end where you summarize the argument, and the middle is the body where you develop the argument.
 
Things to Keep in Mind:
Make an argument.  Don’t just explain, make sure you are trying to rationally persuade the reader that your conclusion is true.  Use what you learned in the Logic section to make your best argument.
Keep it simple.  This is a short essay.  You want to be able to summarize the gist of your argument in a single sentence (this is essentially what your thesis statement is).
Avoid trying to use synonyms!  This is not poetry or literature.  These concepts can get confusing quick, so every time you are talking about the same thing use the same word or phrase to refer to that thing.
 
Approved Sources:
Every document included in the modules for this course (these are primarily chapters from books in the Very Short Introduction series, but also include excerpts from Descartes’ Meditations, Crito, Hobbes’s Leviathan, and some others)
Different chapters from works that are included in the course  (For example, you are assigned to read chapters one and two from Knowledge: A Very Short Introduction, but you can use chapter three or four from that same book as a source.)
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
