Information Regarding the Midterm Examination

The Midterm will be given on Monday, March 14.

The exam will consist of 10 questions culled from the boldfaced questions on Reading Guide #1, on Descartes' Meditations.

Each question will be worth 10 points.

Neither notes nor texts may be used during the exam.

Please remember that you must hand in your exam before leaving the classroom for any reason.

If you leave the room, you will not be permitted to return and resume the exam.

A general guideline I use for grading, which is not applicable in all cases, is as follows:

Cs) Representing accurately what a philosopher says;

Bs) Describing in detail why (s)he says it, i.e. the arguments for the position;

As) Arguing either for or against that position.
