		posted by Glenn on Wednesday April 23, @11:41AM from the Readings dept.


		Hi Folks, After some consideration and a fire alarm, it's been decided that we will not cover chapter 13 of our text and it will not be part of the final. You are still required to know chapter 10.

		Lectures: Review Test #2

		posted by Glenn on Wednesday April 02, @07:08AM from the Test-Review dept.


		This review gives you a fair indication of most of the content of the second test. The test will be on chapters 5-8 of our text with a little bit of chapter 9 (depending how far we get in lecture next week) and as usual anything discussed in class. If you study our text, review the lecture notes - and attend the lectures, of course - and compose answers for each of the following questions, you should be well prepared. Once again, the format of the test will consist of some T/F questions, some multiple-choice questions, and one essay question. The essay question will concern a case study (likely an environmental issue) where you will be asked to discuss how a utilitarian might assess the situation. To prepare for this question you should (1) have a decent grasp of utilitarian theory (2) consider the examples in our text (e.g., euthanasia, our treatment of animals) that show how a utilitarian approaches ethical problems. N.B. This review will be updated next week to include anything we discuss in the lecture before the test. Now updated!
