Assignment

  1.      Please complete Task 1-1: What does it mean to be human? On Pages 138-139 of your text.  You may complete either the position paper or the collage for a part of your semester final exam.  However, if you choose to do the collage remember that you will not have the opportunity to explain it to me so it needs to incorporate as much detail and explanation as if you had organized the information in a position paper (so your depth of thought is as clear to me just looking at the collage as when I grade position papers for some of your peers).  As an assessment grade this is about demonstrating to me that you have learned course content so be sure to use course terminology and concepts in your work.  I am not looking for a “right” answer or opinion.  There isn’t one.  I am looking to see how the course content has informed your opinion.
  2.      Please look over the work we have done this semester and look over the chapters in the book to review for your CLOSED BOOK semester exam.
