Aristole, The Nicomachean Ethics (Oxford University Press; trans. D. Ross; rev. L. Brown) Evaluation - Final grades for undergraduates enrolled in the course will be based on the following factors: 1. Class attendance and participation (10%). Attendance at all class meetings is required. More than three unexcused absences will have the effect of lowering your final grade by one-half letter grade (e.g., from an A to a B+, or from a C+ to a C) 2. Five 1?2 page papers on assigned topics over the course of the semester (15%). 3. Two longer (6?8 page) papers on approved topics (25% each). 4. A comprehensive final exam (25%). Graduate students enrolled in the class will be required to submit a final paper of roughly 15?20 pages, which will substitute for both the second longer paper and the final exam. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
