Appointments--Office Hours

I look forward to talking to each of you about our philosophy course. You are warmly encouraged to stop by my office to discuss classroom lectures, papers, ideas, or problems. If the stated office hours do not fit your schedule, other times can be arranged. Online office hours are from 8:00 to 9:00 PM on the evening prior to tests via Philosophy Chat at http://philosophy.lander.edu/chat/.

Email Protocol

If you have a personal question, concern, or problem, email your instructor at the first opportunity. If you have questions about class procedures (class policies, homework problems, class requirements, grading, assignments, or other housekeeping matters), post online to the mwforum Philosophy Message Board. If you have questions about class content (philosophical concepts, conceptual questions, or understanding the subject-matter of philosophy), also post online to the mwforum Philosophy Message Board. The philhelp Discussion List is reserved for special announcements and discussions not related to the content of this class. If we can observe this protocol, all persons in the class will have access to the same information concerning class procedures and class content. If you forget to observe the email protocol, I will request in the interest of fairness to other members of the class that you submit your question to the appropriate list or board.

Logic Lab

A small Logic Lab in LC M33 consisting of three networked computers is open to all philosophy students during office hours stated above. Students are encouraged to stop by the Lab to set up email accounts, practice with online quizzes and tests, check lecture notes, check the philhelp discussion list, read the mwforum Message Boards, or research philosophical topics on the Internet. Conditions are less than ideal. but the help is good.

General Education Core Requirements

Note especially: Although Philosophy 102 Introduction to Philosophy fulfills the General Education Core Curriculum Requirement for Humanities, this course does not fulfill the requirement for Logical and Analytical Thought. If you are seeking to fulfill the Logical and Analytical Thought requirement by registering for a philosophy course, you need to enroll in Philosophy 103: Introduction to Logic.
