ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS

The level of this course is fairly advanced and so previous exposure to basic modes of philosophical arguments and to the elements of logic is necessary. Only under exceptional circumstances will students who do not have the prerequisites be allowed to take the course. In any event a student must seek the permission of the instructor to enroll. Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
