Precis

Some of you have been asking what to do with the precis. Think of the precis as a synopsis. Write a summary of a chapter of your choosing in 1000 words. The important thing is that you understand the import of the chapter and what the respective philosopher is trying to say within the context of the text. All of the chapters come under 'reccommended reading'in your module handbook. Most of these texts should be available in the library at the moment. If you have trouble finding them get in contact with me and I will see what I can do.

Remember the most important point is to demonstrate that you understand what the philosophers are saying. You do not have the time to engage in a critical account of this in your precis. All you have to do is recount what the philosopher is doing.

This assignment is due on the 25th of March. This will go through tracking.

Fear not, all will be well,
Patrick
