PHIL2203ID Health Care Ethics, OL50, SP2021
Learning about health care ethics through philosophy and science.
Dear Class,
If for some reason you weren’t able to complete the student evaluation of teaching that we did in class last Thursday, please note that the deadline for completing this is tomorrow. You should have a link to the evaluation in your City Tech inbox, I believe they were sent out to students on April 26. Your comments are helpful to me and, if they help me to improve the class, will also help future students who take this class.
Thanks!
Dr. M
Remember, if you are Editor, your paper is due the night of the group’s presentation. So editors from groups 3 and 4 should hand in their papers by midnight tonight. Editors from groups 1 and 2 should have handed their paper in last Thursday, etc. If you ever miss a deadline for this class, try to get the work in as soon as you can afterwards.
Thanks for the presentations today, see you all on Thursday!
Dr. M

As we enter pandemic-time finals, remember to check your anxiety and take good care of yourself!
See you tomorrow.

Just a reminder: if you are in groups 1 or 2, then your group presentation is tomorrow, during normal class hours on Zoom. Looking forward to seeing you then.

Dear Class,
I received a fantastic set of written papers from this class, one of the best sets I’ve ever received. On the whole they were really well done! I’m looking forward to your presentations, coming up soon. In the meantime, I suggest looking at your graded papers on turnitin.com, and thinking about how you can improve or tweak your arguments for the group presentation.
I’ll see you in a little while for our guest lecture this afternoon.
Best,
Dr. M
Dear Class,
It is hard to believe that group presentations are starting in just two weeks! You can see the date your group is assigned by looking at the class schedule. Groups 1+2 will kick off the presentations on May 6.
I have now posted some brief instructions, as well as the rubric, for group presentations. You can see it here:
It is very similar to the paper assignment, except that the group must deliberate together to come up with a shared thesis. See the sheet for more details.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Dr. M
Dear Class,
Please remember that written reports for the case study are due tomorrow before midnight, on turnitin.com! (For all roles except Editor–Editor papers due on the day of the group presentation).
Remember to upload your paper at least a few minutes before it is due, so that you have time to use the originality checker, and resubmit before midnight if there is a problem! You cannot resubmit the assignment after midnight.
Best,
Dr. M

Dear Class,
Your graded homework assignments with your thesis and supporting arguments are now graded.
Please pay careful attention to the comments I have made on your papers on turnitin.com! You will need to take these carefully if you want to maximize your grade on the written report.
Please let me know if you have any questions while writing your papers, I will do my best to help you.
Best,
