COURSE GRADING:

Midterm In-Class Written Test:    40% [in WEEK 6!]

Final In-Class Written Exam:         60%

 

 

MIDTERM and FINAL EXAM INSTRUCTION:

The Midterm Test and the Final Exam have the same format, the only difference being that the Midterm Test will takes place within 80-minutes long class constraints, while at the Final Exam the students will have twice as much time than at the Midterm. (Since the Midterm has a status of a test, not an exam, there will be no opportunity "to retake" the Midterm in case of poor performance.) At both the Midterm and the Final, the students will be asked "to discuss" a number of topics listed by the lecturer. The topics will be based primarily on the class readings that provide a backbone of the course. The Midterm Test and Final Exam aim to test the students' command of the main ideas about justice explored in the class readings, as well as their ability to think about the problems discussed in a philosophical manner (i.e., rationally and critically, considering arguments employed by the authors studied throughout the semester, as well as the arguments devised by the student).

GRADING SCALE:

  • A = 91-100 % – excellent
  • B = 81-90 % – very good
  • C = 71-80 % – good
  • D = 61-70 % – satisfactory
  • E = 51-60 % – minimal pass
  • F = 0-50 % – fail
