What each journal entry should address:

a. Describe the philosophical problem (or problems) that are at the core of the unit (illustrate with examples)

b. Present at least two different compelling views on that problem, as well as what you think is the most compelling argument for each view.

c. Evaluate those arguments (are they valid? Are they sound? Are they persuasive?)

d. End each entry with a reflection on what you have learned (or not learned) and any unanswered questions for you.
