For each unit in the course, you should write a short essay on the following topic: Pick an argument from the readings or the lecture for the unit. Summarize the argument, and then give a response to the argument.

The response could be any of the following:

a) An objection (a reason to believe that the argument does not prove what it is supposed to prove.)

b) A further reason to believe that some part of the argument is true.

c) A further question that people who accept this argument need to deal with.

d) A point on which you think the argument is unclear (be sure to spell out the different things that it could mean).

Whichever option you choose, you should not just state your opinion. You should explain why your objection, reason to agree, etc., is correct.
