Quiz You Once, Shame On Me

The quiz will be held at the beginning of class on Wednesday, July 15th, for the Mt. Laurel class, and Thursday, July 16th, for the Willingboro class. You will have about 25 minutes to take it. There will be a section on evaluating deductive arguments, and 4 or 5 short answer questions on the topics we discussed in class so far:
  • philosophy in general
  • doing philosophy
  • understanding and evaluating arguments
  • types of arguments: deductive, inductive, and abductive (inferences to the best explanation)
  • what is knowledge?
  • skepticism
  • Descartes battling skepticism

The quiz is worth 15% of your overall grade.
