Course Materials: Ethics – Philosophy
REQUIREMENTS (mandatory): Students must attend 80% of
lectures and pass the final exam. Students should
know the answers to the ‘sample questions’ posted
on this service. If you
missed more than 20%, you can justify it with
additional activity during the semester.
Non-mandatory
POSSIBILITIES (special offers): Students are rewarded with
points for optional activities. Activities may vary. For example, students can
gather points for tests (in Pegaz) during class. The sum of points from all trials is considered (so
even poorly written tests give some advantage). There is no penalty for tests.
Each new test covers issues implemented up to its moment.
The positive rating
is above 50 % of all activities. If the
average of the test points is sufficient (MORE than 50%), you can but do not
have to take the final exam. If you do not earn enough points from these activities or you are not
satisfied with the resulting score, you should write the exam. The exam mark
invalidates the points. Therefore, the exam is risky because you may receive a
grade lower than the one resulting from your activity, but the exam also gives
you a chance to raise this grade. If
you take the exam, your exam grade is final.
I suggest non-mandatory activities during lectures at the beginning of the
semester. Familiarize yourself with the current special offers so you don't miss out on something you
care about.
Student Quiz
on Pegaz — Deadline: End of the Course (Before the
Examination Period)
·
Multiple-choice questions (four options per question),
submitted via Pegaz. One approved question must be
provided for each lecture hour missed beyond the permitted absence limit.
·
The quiz will be reviewed by the instructor, who approves
individual questions. Questions found to be unclear or inconsistent will not be
accepted. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare more questions than the
required minimum.
·
Both questions and answers must remain strictly within the
scope of the lecture content. Any deviation from this content will result in a
lower grade. Questions must not be repeated within the quiz. Furthermore,
students must adhere to the thematic scope assigned for the quiz.
In cases
where a written assignment is required instead, it must be prepared according
to academic writing standards.
Please note:
A medical leave does not exempt students from the obligation to make up for
missed classes.
WEB SERVICE
This web service was created to help you. I have no obligation to create
it, and you have no compulsion to use it.
I've offloaded the portal from the IT quirks, so it looks
old-fashioned, but that's what it's supposed to be - simple and 'light' for the
computers.
CONTRACT
If you want to use these materials in this web service, respect the
following contract:
1.
Remember/save your login and password to the service
during the first class. I do not send these details by email.
2.
Repeat the material as you go along and take part in
discussions. Don't put off exam preparation until the last minute.
3.
When preparing for the test or exam, open the CONTROL
QUESTIONS page and look for the answer to each question in the links or
literature. Try to understand the question and the answer.
4.
It is good to learn with someone, with one person asking
the questions and the other answering them. The answers should be understood by
the other person, not just in your mind.
5.
Use the terminology introduced in class - learn to use it
to express your thoughts, but avoid memorizing what
you don't understand.
6.
If your browser ‘remembers’ old versions of the pages you
visit, you must hit the ‘refresh’ button to read the page's current content.
7.
If you don't understand something - ask. There are no
naive or invalid questions during the lecture; the students can ask until they
understand the answer. I encourage consultations during the semester (long
queues are in session). I will be happy to help. In
case of further doubt, ask questions during office hours.
8.
Websites are being created constantly. Therefore, I am
asking for your understanding of unintentional mistakes. Inform the instructor about any errors on the websites. Help create them.
I would
appreciate suggestions on how to improve it.
