Monday, March 16, 2020 PHL 210 Quiz 1
Given
the current situation the first take home quiz is now due a week later (3/30)
than the original due date of 3/23/2020
on our syllabus.
As indicated on the syllabus,
1.
(50%) You will
have an opportunity to take two take-home quizzes. These will be handed out at least
4 days before they are due. Late quizzes will receive a 15% grading
penalty for each day they are late. [If you cannot get a quiz in on time,
please let me know you need to take a make-up quiz with a different deadline.]
Unless otherwise indicated, please complete the quiz in less than 500 words.
All work, except in-class writings, is to be typed. Quizzes are to be turned in on the date
due with a copy emailed to me at kagan@lemoyne.edu. In addition to the file attachment, please paste the
text of your answers into your message.
2. (50%) Work in class, which may include
the following: group work/in-class writings/optional quizzes (optional quizzes
can be used to replace take-home quizzes and vice-versa)/optional final paper.
(See http:/web.lemoyne.edu/~kagan/PAPHOW.html.)
You can take this exam alone or as part of a group (please keep group numbers
at four or less). If you do this as a group, please turn in one exam with every
member's name on it, making sure every member of your group has a copy. Clearly
indicate your sources, including class notes, and conversations with fellow
students.
If you do the exam as a group, for each and every member of the group who is to
receive credit for your exam, please indicate that group member's
contribution(s). For the take-home
quiz answer either one of the following.
1. (From our group work on the Meno)
Name 3 excellent people. Your group does
not have to be in unanimous agreement.
What is it that makes them excellent?
If you would like to also take an optional quiz, please answer question #1 and #2:
2. What does Aristotle say about precise answers to moral questions? Why? How does this explain a particular case of evaluating someone with respect to the virtue of proper pride in a specific context (e.g., taking a test, interviewing for a job, trying out for a team, auditioning)? What does this suggest about how someone might argue for or against Aristotle's position?
By or before the due date of Monday, March 30, 2020, please email a copy of your exam to me at kagan@lemoyne.edu.
