PHL 210 Final Project Prospectus Guidelines and Rubric Overview: At the end of Module Three, you identified your selected topic and associated philosophers and resources for your final project paper. For this part of the final project, you will prepare a “prospectus” of your final essay by answering the following essay questions. This prospectus is due at the end of Module Five. The feedback you receive from your instructor on this prospectus will inform your final project essay. Using the topic you selected four your final project essay, respond to all five of the following questions below: 1. Briefly explain the problem you have chosen. How does it arise, and what issues does it present? 2. What three resources have you chosen to use as you develop your final essay? Provide full bibliographic information AND a brief statement (three sentences maximum) of the main point of each of them. Remember that these should be philosophers with relevant opinions on this topic. 3. What is your position on your chosen topic? State your position in one sentence and provide five sentences maximum on why you take the position you take (your reasoning). 4. What is an objection to your own position? State the objection and explain its significance. 5. Expand on the objection you provided in question #4 in three to four sentences. This is where you go beyond your process for selecting that objection and respond to it in terms of your position. Ensure that your response here identifies the objection, illustrates it using an example or fact from question #2, and responds to it with not only your criteria for why your position is a logical response to this objection but uses one of the pieces of evidence or facts from #2. Guidelines for Submission: Each essay response must be double spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins, and must include at least one citation. Citations must use APA or MLA format; refer to the Research/Writing area of your course in brightspace for citation resources and tools. Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Brightspace. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center.
