Seminar 6

This seminar is a bit different. Instead of discussing a question, we will discuss the short essays you wrote in the light of feedback.

Preparation

  • Re-read your essay and the feedback (if available).

  • Formulate with care any questions you have about the substance of the essay or the feedback.

  • Rehearse a 90 second oral presentation of how you answered the question in your essay.

Backup Plan

Some seminar groups may not spend all of the time (or even any) on essays.

Reading:

Questions:

  1. What is Rini’s main thesis?

  2. Which claims does she defend to support this thesis?

  3. What objections arise to Rini’s main thesis?

Ask a Question

Your question will normally be answered in the question session of the next lecture.
