As indicated on the syllabus, you will have an opportunity to take three
short take-home quizzes, which together will count for 50% of your grade, and
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. Unless otherwise indicated, please complete the quiz in less than 500 words. All work, except in-class writings, is to be typed.

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. When
you revise your essay, try to make sure that what you have written demonstrates
your knowledge of the texts, lectures, and issues. Indicate your sources,
including class notes, and conversations with fellow students.
If you do the exam as a group, for every member of the group who is to receive
credit for your exam, please indicate that group member's
contribution(s). Choose and answer ONE of the following 2
questions.
1. Briefly explain what Confucius, Buber, Plato and Lao Tzu
say about the best students. What can be learned from this about
becoming better learners? [Note: For purposes of this quiz, the
Buber section is required.]
2. Compare the beginning of I and Thou to the beginning of the Tao Te Ching or The Analects. What does the comparison suggest about how to live?
