I took this ethics class during the summer before my junior year of college. I really enjoyed this class because I was able to explore a new type of philosophy.
This class consisted of eight units and a final project. For each unit, we were assigned a chapter in the textbook, notes from the professor, and a quiz at the end. It didn’t seem like a lot of work, so I waited a few days to get started. After I finished the first chapter, I realized I was wrong. I really wanted to understand this new material, so I took my time going through it. I decided that I needed to set goals for the remaining seven chapters. I chose to work on one chapter each day, which would give me extra time at the end to work on my final project.
I am proud to say I stuck with my goal and finished the chapters about two weeks early. I gave myself a couple of days to focus on my other summer class, and then was able to work on my final project.
My final project is included below. The assignment was to find an argument from a newspaper, book, or website and then pick it apart to really understand the argument. I felt that I had plenty of time to work in the project because I paced myself during the course.
