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.
