This course exercise will continue the use of journaling, which is a very important part of "doing" philosophy. There are a number of things you will be required to have in your Journal each week, however, you may add anything you want. This is as much to benefit you as it is for part of your grade. We hope that you will continue to do this on a regular basis through your academic journey.
Upon completion of this assignment you should be able to:
Reflect on your understanding of the concept of a worldview, and related philosophical ideas, and to record personal growth in your use of philosophy throughout the course.
