Reminders

Two reminders about PHIL 2203ID today: 

  1. 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.
  2. No Zoom session today! Remember to watch the video and make your comments. See instructions here.

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.

Homework Assignment 1 Grades Posted

Homework Assignment 1 grades have been posted on turnitin.com. Please look there for comments and feedback. 

If you handed in a revised version, I graded that version. If you only submitted the original assignment, I graded that version. Whichever one was graded, that is your grade for the first assignment. You cannot revise the assignment if you have already received a grade. 

If you did not submit either assignment, you may still submit the assignment late. 

Groups and Cases posted!

Groups and cases for the group project have now been posted in the Group Project folder on Blackboard. You can see your group here. You can find your case here.

You will want to start working on your case soon. Before you do that, you need to do two things: 

  1. Leave your preferred contact information for other group members in the thread for your group on Blackboard here. You may want to leave a phone number, email, or other information so that you can work together on the group project.
  2. Once you have their information, get in touch with group members and determine each member’s role in the group (Physician, Nurse, Philosopher, Editor). When you have determined your group role, please let Dr. MacDougall know your role here: https://forms.gle/Hyk4ujCBXP4c6cfH9

Once you have your role determined, you can begin working on your annotated bibliography. 

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Best,
