This is an asynchronous FLEXI paper, so students can complete every task for this paper online and will be able to fit all tasks around other reasonable time commitments.

What students should do: Each week focuses on a different big question from philosophy. Each week, students are expected to do these things (in this order): download and read the study guide, watch lecture videos and read readings (while taking notes on the study guide), attend a face-­to­-face tutorial or email a tutorial worksheet to the Convener, complete a quiz (using the study guide), and work towards the major pieces of assessment (the Essay and the Final Assignment).

Please note that some of the information required to do well on the Online Quizzes and the Essay will be presented in the readings but not during lectures and vice versa, so students should consider all of the material under the "Lecture and Reading Material" heading each week to be compulsory. When grading the assessment for this paper, we assume that students are familiar with all of the lecture and reading content for the relevant topics.

Tutorials: Tutorials are always on the same topic as the lectures in each week. Attendance at/completion of the tutorials is not compulsory, but participation is graded. So, students should attend/complete as many tutorials as possible, preferably all of them.

Students are strongly encouraged to attend the face-to-face tutorials. This is your best chance to interact with your fellow classmates. Students work in groups of 4-5 on a set of discussion questions (the tutorial worksheets). Students are graded on whether they are actively discussing the questions for the duration of the tutorial. The tutor will visit each group to ask the group questions, give advice, and be available to answer any questions students may have. Please note that there is only one face-to-face tutorial each week. Students who do not attend face-to-face tutorials must complete tutorial worksheets individually and email them to the paper convener with the subject heading PHILO150 Tutorial Worksheet.

Tutorials begin Week 1. There is a tutorial every teaching week except the last. So, there are 11 weeks of tutorials in total.

There are no in­-person lectures. The lectures are relatively short, pre-recorded videos that you can watch and pause/stop/restart at your convenience, with occasional quiz questions along the way to test your understanding.

There is no exam.
