Exam Comments:
1. Don't give a play by play of the argument as if the audience already knows. Recreate the argument in your own words to show understanding. "'Cuz horses" is not a good answer.
2. Critically Evaluate: "'Cuz he gave good reasons and used facts." <---Don't do that. Talk about whether the terms were clear, whether a specific premise was true or false, and whether the conclusion was relevant/followed from the premises.
3. Essay question: Needed 2 of 3 arguments.
Discussion
1. Class activity: What are some things that you believe to be true?
2. Which of the sources of beliefs is the most likely to be true/most reliable? Why? Put them in order.
3. Categories of belief: (a) mere belief, (b) true belief, (c) justified belief, (d) knowledge. Define and give examples of each.
4. The Fundamental Question: Define objectivism and subjectivism. Do we directly experience the physical objects of perception? Are some properties objective and others subjective? Which? When we experience pain, where is the pain located?
