PA300 Philosophy Portfolio

This course provides the opportunity for students to reflect upon their experience with the Philosophy Curriculum of Franklin Pierce and to assess how well they have met the desired learning outcomes identified by the program. Students will compile appropriate artifacts - usually but not limited to course papers - as evidence that they have met the stated program goals. They will also write a rationale statement, explaining how each artifact meets each standard, and how successfully the student thinks it does so. Portfolio and rationale statement will be presented in class to be evaluated by faculty member and fellow philosophy students. Open to juniors or seniors who have completed or are in the process of completing their 300-level seminar. Required of all Philosophy students for completion of the program.
