Philosophy Forum

The Philosophy Forum is for the posting of logic questions of any kind. Homeschoolers and students from universities in other countries post questions here as well.

The Philosophy Forum is an important part of obtaining help in real time from your classmates and from your instructor. You are encouraged to post questions, problems, or answers on any topic relating to the course policies, procedures, or homework of our philosophy class. Your post is placed directly on the Philosophy Web and can be immediately accessed anywhere in the world. The Philosophy Forum is a good place to obtain a pre-evaluation of your reading questions, to seek answers to assigned problems or, to ask for help.

In sum, the purpose of the Philosophy Forum is to discuss the daily class activities of our philosophy course: reading posts, comments, homework questions, homework answers, housekeeping matters, class procedures, assignments, test dates, and class policies.

Signing up for the Philosophy Forum is a completely separate procedure from Lander's Blackboard and is explained here.
