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. Other materials published here are not mandatory.
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 take the exam, your exam grade is final.
I suggest activities during lectures at the beginning of the semester. Familiarize
yourself with the current 'promotions' so you don't miss out on something you
care about.
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, respect the following good practices:
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.
