PHIL 5500/6500
Weekly Assignments

• The default is to outline the passage I assign.
• If you choose a different passage:
  • make sure it contains an argument.
  • you have to tell me what it is. (I'm not a mind reader.)
  • please make it terse -- a paragraph or two, not a chapter, or anything like a chapter.

    (I have to read the passage side by side with your outline, to check that the latter correctly represents the argument in the former.)

    My experience is that attempts to outline longer stretches of text don't generally work out well.
