Problem Set 5

Deductive Logic

Phil 200

Spring 2010

Complete the following exercises. The written answers are due in class on Monday, May 10. (Notice the date change: the assignment was originally scheduled to be due Friday May 7, but you now have an extra weekend to complete the assignment.) The Grade Grinder reports must be submitted to me by 11:59pm on Monday, May 10 or else they will be counted (at least) ONE DAY late.

PLEASE submit the Grade Grinder reports to me only once, and all at once if possible. Making multiple submissions complicates the grading process. Also make sure that the reports you receive from the Grade Grinder verify that I received the reports as well. Any assignments that are submitted to me late will be counted as late, even if you submitted them to yourself on time. It is preferred (but not required) that the written portions are typed, not hand-written. If you electronically submit your written answers, please make sure to cc the TAs (their email addresses are linked below).

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)
