48/19/21100 papers every semester that come in that week. I will still answer any questions you have about them though. In Ethics, write an ethics paper, often I get a paper on one philosopher view of ethics and what it would say about something like abortion, marriage, weed, save the whales ect… DON’T! DO NOT give me 3 pages of stats on abortion in America, this would be a health/science paper and you will not like the grade. It must be an Ethics RESEARCH paper. Please just stick to the quotes and research. Do not give any examples from the news, movies, TV shows, or life. All you must do is pick Virtue Ethics, Utilitarianism, Deontology, or Existential Ethics and do what we did in class. But a word of warning, if you pick existentialism it must focus on their ethics and not a general existential paper (and don’t pick Sartre or Heidegger). Most of the EC papers would make good topics as well but email me first. These papers will be graded on a basic strike policy to keep it objective. If you do these and the topic relates to the class, you should get an A. I am looking for these specific things: 1. Turned in on time. 2. Page length (as long as it is not half a paper), 4 and a half pages is not 5. If it is not 5 full pages you will lose points, that is, at least 1-2 lines should spill over on the 6th page. If the check-out person at Wal-Mart says that will be 5.00$, do you hand them 4.76$ and say: “eah, good enough?” 1. In addition to the overall 5-page min. requirement, it must have 3 pages of good research discussed above and below. There must be some depth here, most intros, any biographical info, and conclusions do not have this depth. 3. Minimum required sources used (your textbook and 2 others), and you have in text citations of some kind. The two websites at the top of the Canvas page (in Ethics) are fine for the other two. Wikipedia and any Wiki’s will not count! In general, do not use .com pages find .org or .EDU!!!! 1. Dialog with sources, do not just throw in a quote, tie it to your thesis, break it down, does your thesis agree or disagree with it. This does not mean add your opinion, but does the quote agree or disagree with your thesis statement. 4. Correctly formatted: 1-inch margins, double spaced, 12 pt. font Times New Roman, and a proper bibliography/works cited page. All papers will have all these no matter what style you use to keep it equal for all. I have a very sensitive B.S.o-meter. 5. Contains 3 pages of good philosophical/theological research/content. 1. This also means that you will not use terms without defining them first. You must use the terms the philosopher you are researching uses and use them correctly. Likewise use the language we learned in class, or from your textbook, and define them. 2. You must pick one system or theory and stick with it throughout the paper with at least 3 pages of research. 1.In Ethics the 3 pages must be about an Ethical theory we talked about in class, or I mentioned, or that is about an Ethical theory that we did not have time to discuss in class. Email me to double check your topic if it is not one of the major theories we covered in class. 2.In Bible classes, you must stick with the topic you are researching, or the book of the Bible you are researching for the 3 pages of research. Do not do 3 pages of applying it to today’s world. 3. Not doing this will result in a grade of 50-60%, because you missed this requirement, and it will be too broad along with other criteria listed here. 6. Strong thesis statement in italics. A strong thesis statement is focused, specific, and gives details. I should know exactly where you are going in your paper and your 2-3 main points at the end of your thesis statement. It is not an introduction, it is a thesis statement, and you are putting it in ITALICS because if you cannot find it to italicize it, then I cannot find it either. Then every
