Reminders
Two reminders about PHIL 2203ID today:
- Annotated Bibliographies are due tonight, by midnight! Please upload them to turnitin.com. Make sure to do it a few minutes before midnight, so that you have time to check the originality report and resubmit before the deadline! You can still make your first submission after the due date, but you can no longer resubmit. Please remember to read instructions for the assignment on Handout 1A and Handout 1B.
- No Zoom session today! Remember to watch the video and make your comments. See instructions here.
10/19. Pediatric Decision Making
10/21. Guest Lecture. “Sociology and Environmental Justice.” Prof. Diana Mincyte, Sociology.
Class for Thursday, Oct. 21 is a recorded guest lecture. There is no class meeting on Zoom.
This lecture is gated at Prof. Mincyte’s request. You can find the lecture by clicking here, or go to Blackboard, then navigate to: Content–Guest Lectures.
Please watch the video in its entirety, then make two posts below, according to the following instructions. These comments are due before the following class period (i.e. before 4:00pm on Tuesday, 10/26).
The first one is your own individual thoughts and response to the lecture. This post should be at least 75 words long. You should interact with main ideas, although what you say is up to you. You may want to criticize an idea, agree with something, or offer further insight or thoughts about some topic discussed by our guest. Or, you may want to pose a question for others about the lecture. I expect the post to interact with the content of the actual lecture, and not just the day’s topic or other thoughts you may be having.
The second post is an interactive comment, posted as a response to another student’s comment. There is no length requirement on this post.
Reminder: Midterm Exam Today!
Our Mid-term Exam is today!
The test will be 75 minutes long and will be administered on Blackboard. You should receive an announcement to your email at 4:00pm, when it becomes available. You can also find it under “Content” in Blackboard after 4:00pm.
The exam is open book and open notes. I recommend that you study carefully for it by filling out the study sheet ahead of time. Most of the questions require understanding concepts, not simply repeating answers from the study sheet.
Do NOT plagiarize from the internet. Utilizing answers from class materials and lectures is acceptable. Plagiarism from the internet is grounds for a zero score on the test.
You can start it any time within the normal class period (4-5:15pm) and will receive a full 75 minutes to take the test. It is possible to pause the test and come back later, but the clock will keep ticking and you only have 75 minutes total to take the test. You will not be able to resume after 5:15pm.
If you need a special exception you need to contact me. If for some reason you don’t contact me and also don’t take it at the appointed time, you will need a documented excuse (either medical or related to bereavement) for permission to take it at another time.
Don’t forget to download the review sheet and fill it out before the test! And let me know if you have any questions.

Midterm Study Sheet Posted
We will have a study session for the midterm next class (Tuesday, Oct. 12). Please fill out the posted study sheet as fully as possible before the session, so that you can focus on questions you don’t know during class.
