Phil 200
Spring 2010
Complete the
following exercises. The written answers are due in class on Friday, February 26. The
grade grinder reports must be submitted to me by 11:59pm on Friday, February 26. Refer
to the syllabus here
for a reminder of the late policy and honor code. Remember that you may collaborate with others on the
written portions, so long as
you appropriately cite those who helped you by listing their names at
the top of the sheets of paper you turn in. You may not collaborate with others on the
exercises you submit through the grade grinder. Some of the problems we
will be going over in class--an incentive to come to class! If your
written answer to one of the exercises benefits from our direct
discussion of it in class, please say so and note it on your work.
Please staple all pages or your written work, and make sure your
writing is legible. If you have any questions, please contact me or one
of the TA's: Sarah Blair (sarah.blair@oberlin.edu)
or Ben Lussier (blussier@oberlin.edu)
