Journals,
Study guides and Special Projects
-
Keep
a journal to record responses to your Study Guides, SPECIAL
PROJECTS, journal topics, philosophical terms and
definitions, questions, problems, and comments or personal
examples.
-
Try
to write in it at least three times each week. Describe
events you observe or experience and their philosophical
implications. Illustrate philosophical issues or questions
with drawings, cartoons, newspapers or magazines (articles,
editorials, advertisements).
-
Work
on ideas and make notes for your journal and bring it with
you -in case you may have any questions—to Open College
seminars.
-
Do
not send responses to study guides. Use them to reinforce
your reading and to review for exams.
-
The
Special Projects at the end of each chapter are important in
that you can work with some of the ideas you have already
studied in the chapter.
-
Try
to think of concrete examples from your own experience when
you answer these sections. Remember the JOURNAL is for your
own use. You don’t have to turn it in.
