Part 8 Introduction to Philosophy

Each group will answer their appointed questions on Monday. Each group should take no more than ten minutes each for their presentation. 

Once the group presents on Monday in the subject line of an email (msmith) identify their selection from Part 8: Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle, etc.; in the body of the email list the students who answered today and discussed their assignment and attach any materials presented. 

Designate one person from your group for this task. 

After the organizational meetings during class if you have not been assigned to
a group be prepared to answer a question if someone is absent.

It is important that you attend class, arrive on time, and work cooperatively
with a group to earn discussion credit for participation. 

On Wednesday I will review how to submit Assignment 2 through Blackboard.
