I’m putting together the syllabus for my Fall intro course, and once again I’m very grateful for Jim Pryor’s “page of teaching resources”:http://www.jimpryor.net/teaching/index.html. His directions to students on “how to read philosophy papers”:http://www.jimpryor.net/teaching/guidelines/reading.html, “how to write philosophy papers”:http://www.jimpryor.net/teaching/guidelines/writing.html and “what we’re looking for while grading philosophy papers”:http://www.jimpryor.net/teaching/guidelines/grades.html are exactly what I wish I’d written for my students. Happily, I can now just point to these rather than trying to write them myself. I have linked to these before, but I suspect a few other people writing syllabi, especially those teaching for the first time, will be happy to be reminded of the links.
