Philosophy tutorials 4 [ LFILO1224 ]

/

/

Topics and texts relating to LFILO1210, LFILO 1220, LFILO 1260.

 The tutorial classes complement the training offered in the philosophy lectures by focusing on the reading of philosophical texts, preparing assignments on philosophical topics, issues or writers and oral communication. First of all, they prepare students to produce a final Bachelor's paper and to play an active part in seminars on 3rd year texts. The skills they will acquire include documentary research in philosophy, making the best use of documentation in conformity with  academic standards (quotations, references etc.) in written and oral communication  which displays appropriate and precise reading of texts and relevant use of the secondary literature for a critical commentary or a philosophical essay. These skills must be developed together, not in isolation. However, each series of the tutorial classes focuses more specifically on one of them.  In this fourth series, the emphasis is writing (the thesis) and oral communication skills (presentation on a text, critical commentary, presentation of an issue) and debating.
