Learning Activities (LA) and reflective journals (600 points)
If philosophy is training for living well, then we need to practice philosophical living!
Throughout the semester, there will be six activities that students need to complete, which will ask them to undertake a specific practice and then reflect on that experience in a journal.
Journals should be about 500-600 words and should include specifics of what practice they adopted, how it went, and what they learned from it. Journal entries will be graded according to the journal rubric.
Learning activity 5 is focused on Intellectual Responsibility.
