Should there be rules to ensure that countries trade fairly with each other? Where does our understanding of morality come from? Is Genetic Engineering playing God? Should those responsible for the holocaust have known better? Does the Foetus deserve the rights of a Person? What is love? Is beauty an illusion? What is a human being? Is science the enemy of religion? Is there life after death? Why does evil exist? How did the Universe begin? Can we prove God s existence?

9 Online Lectures/Podcasts Other Sources There are often television and radio shows broadcast that are relevant to the study of philosophy and ethics. Your teacher will let you know when this happens. You should try to read a newspaper each week. You will often find articles that are relevant to what you are studying in philosophy and ethics. Make sure you choose a broadsheet such as the Guardian, the Independent or the Times. Skills in Philosophy and Ethics Note Taking:You will need to take notes from Power Points your teacher uses and the things he or she says. You will also need to make your own revision notes for each unit of study. Annotation:You will need to able to annotate your booklet or other reading. This means making notes around the text. These notes could be definitions, explanations, links to other parts of the course or issues that arise.
10 Using Expansive Vocabulary:You will need to be able to use lots of new technical terms. Using philosophical and ethical terms are really important for getting high grades. Your teacher may test you on the new words you have learnt! Evaluation:This means finding strengths and weaknesses of points of view. Critiquing: This is more than evaluation. You must be able to say why something is a strength, for example: It is flexible (strength) and therefore this is helpful in decision making because However the problem with flexibility is that and therefore.. Essay Writing:You will be assessed in this course through essays. Your teacher will spend time helping you to find the best way to plan and structure your essays. You will need to make sure you know the syllabus and the levels of response. The most important thing is that you answer the question and not just tell the examiner everything you know about a particular topic. Presentation:In order to help your learning your teacher may ask you to give a presentation. Giving presentations will become an important part of your future at university and in whatever field you work in. Your teacher will help you to learn what makes a good presentation. Reading:There are lots of different ways of reading. Studying is reading in detail. Skimming is read quickly to get the gist. Scanning is looking for particular information to help with a specific task. Listening:There will be times when you may have to listen for a lot longer than you would have needed to lower down the school. It s important that you are able to concentrate through this as when you get to university your lecturer may not have a PowerPoint or handout and might just talk to you for an hour! Make sure you sit where you can focus (don t look out of the window!) and bring water to class. Discussion:You will need to be able to express your own views and listen respectfully to the views of others even if they are very different to your own. You will need to have the courage to ask questions when you don t understand. Top Tips! We asked AS Philosophy and Ethics students to give us their top tips for success. Here s a selection of their wise words! Revise effectively use a technique that suits you best! Never be afraid to ask questions. Your teachers are there to help. Apply your new skills to other subjects.
11 Don t lose your booklets and printed notes! Teachers have spent ages making these in order to make your life easier! And they really do help. File them away and keep them neat! Have fun! You picked this subject because you wanted to and you get out of the course what you put into it. Use the resources provided on the Portal. Make use of the recommended reading. It will help you understand the topic and raise your interest in the subject. Make your revision notes, posters and flash cards as soon as you finish a topic so that it is all ready when revision time comes. Contribute! You have a brain and thinking on your toes is like being in the exam. Being able to do it will really save your life in the exam. Buy some highlighters. You can use them to highlight key terms and ideas in the booklet but also in your own notes. Read over what you have done in class that day when you get home even if it s just for 10 minutes. Set up a study group with a few people from your class. It really helps you to understand the course and revise.
