There has been some problem with the display of grades for PHIL 201 on Minerva. Even if you can see a final grade, the odds that what you see is not correct are fairly good. Please wait several days for this to be corrected before contacting me, or your TA, about your grade.
Thanks for your patience, and apologies for the confusion.
Conference assignments and room assignments are available in PDF form here.
Grading & assignments: As announced in class, there will be four graded assignments, the values of which will be as follows: a short initial paper (10%), a midterm (30%), a final exam (30%), and a 5 page paper to be handed in between the midterm and the final.
