Texts Exploring Philosophy of Religion (2 nd ), ed. Steven Cahn Attendance and Participation (10%) Weekly responses (20%) Paper 1 (35%) Paper 2 (35%) Requirements: Note: The total points tally on courseweb does NOT take these weights into account. If you want to keep track of your grade, take the percent signs off all the numbers above and multiply your percentage on each assignment by that number, then add those numbers up and divide by 100 (or the current total possible points, whichever is lower). Attendance and Participation: Attendance is required Texting in class will be penalized with a half point taken off participation Students are expected to come to class with the assigned readings completed Outstanding preparation and participation will be taken into account when grading borderline cases Weekly Responses Every Friday, starting on 8/31, you will have a 1-page weekly response due in class Discuss one of the readings and whether you think that reading made a persuasive case for its point Responses are given full credit (on a 1/0 basis) so long as they discuss a substantive point about one of the readings from that week Responses must be turned in as a hard copy in class (no ed responses) Missed responses cannot be made up.
2 Papers: Papers must be ed to: Late papers will be assessed a one-third-grade penalty per day (a B+ will become a B, a B will become a B-, etc.). In special circumstances, a student may prior to the due date request an extension. It is the responsibility of students to understand what constitutes plagiarism and what its consequences are. If you re in doubt, please ask. Plagiarists will be dealt with harshly. Try to avoid referring to your own attitudes or using the term: I feel. Here is a list of 101 expressions to use instead of feels: Rubric for Papers: A: Clear support, research, examples, objections, and replies are presented to the arguments B: Arguments are presented that are relevant and effective C: Material is presented accurately and without error D: Paper is complete F: None of the above Grading Standards A = % A- = % B+ = % B = % B- = % C+ = % C = % C- = % D+ = % D = % D- = % F = < 59.4% Students with disabilities and special needs: If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting an accommodation, you are encouraged to contact both your instructor and the Office of Health & Wellness (OHW), G-10 Student Union Building, (814) to schedule an appointment as early as possible in the term.
