PHIL 1300 (Ethics) Fall 13

Published

I'm registered to start this class 8/26. They have no book listed on the course selection page.

I emailed the prof with no response. Does anyone know what book is used for this class?

Anyone taken it? Pointers?

cincinursemary,

I am just finishing this class. Not a difficult class, just a different way of thinking. I found the first few weeks of information difficult to grasp. There are weekly readings, weekly quizzes, and discussion posts. There are also three tests. I was able to get the readings done in an hour or so, study and then take the quiz. The discussion questions were available on Thursdays. We have two books for the class: The Elements of Moral Philosophy, by James Rachels, 7th ed. edited by Stuart Rachels (McGraw Hill, 2011) ISBN: 978-0-07-803824-2 and The Right Thing to Do, by James Rachels, 6th ed. edited by Stuart Rachels (McGraw Hill, 2011) ISBN: 978-0-07-803823-5. I could have taken this class with a nursing class also. Grading not as picky as the nursing classes. Good luck!

I will tell you how I studied for exams

I thought they dropped that class as a required course when they converted to semesters?

Yeah, it doesn't leave much time, especially if you have to work nights Thursday.

At least it doesn't have to be in APA!

Waiting on grades for Mid term exam. So glad halfway done. Definitely not a hard class. Exam wasn't too bad, especially cause there were several questions on material that we hadn't gone over yet, so those will get thrown out I think.

Moving on... good luck everyone.

It's been 10 days since Mid term exam, and still no grade. That makes no sense. We have to get our stuff done one time.
