Here are the links to your calendars for homework. There are two (a full day doesn't fit into one page on the kind of template that has enough room for our purposes).

Morning through early evening

Early evening through night

Google will tell you there's no preview available - that's fine. You want to download and print the calendars, anyway.

So, for next week, fill in the following on your day planner:

• All of your classes
• Your work schedule, if any
• Other obligations - things you must do
• 3 hours per class for homework, review, and other assignments, broken up into AT LEAST two segments

How We Learn

Here's a link to the presentation in case you can't view it above.

Welcome!

Welcome to Philosophy 130: Introduction to Critical Thinking! This is one of my favorite classes - I hope you'll all learn a lot, think hard, and have fun doing it. Philosophy makes your brain work hard, but it's great fun.

Here's a link to your syllabus and schedule for this semester. The college is making a big effort to save paper, so I'll only have a few copies of the syllabus for those who don't have access to a printer, or regular access to a computer. If you'd like a printed copy of the syllabus, please print one out and bring it to class.

This is the course blog - bookmark it so that you can find it easily later. We'll be using it a lot this semester.



Let me know if you have any questions, or if you have trouble opening the linked syllabus.

I look forward to meeting you all on Monday!
