To my summer 2008 students.
These readings are available for photocopying. Make sure that at the start of the classes you all have these readings already. We will take them up in sequence, approximately two meetings per reading. I may add to them later on.
Thus, on the first day of our meeting, April 18, I expect an essay on Descartes and an intelligent discussion on him from the one who will be called (see my policies on essays). REMEMBER: this essay is long exam, and it is revisable. But failure to submit when called means an automatic zero from which there is no redemption! I will also give a quiz on Descartes.
Coordinate with Zoila Santos-Pilola, our secretary.
The debate sessions remain unmarked. So are the laboratory exercises.
