Senior Freshman
Year convener: Professor Lilian Alweiss
All courses run for both terms. There are four courses in the SF year (SHP students take all four, TSM and PPES students take only PI2002 and PI2006). The courses are as follows:
PI2002 and PI2006 are each made up of four course components with 11 lectures (over five and a half weeks) in each term. There are two lectures per week for each of the two courses. Each course component covers a single coherent theme or topic (e.g. Formal Logic or Kant's Epistemology and Metaphysics) and is usually taught by the same lecturer. PI2003 and PI2004 are made up of 6 course components between them and consist of two hours of lectures per week.
Part of the assessment for each course will be by means of essays, which are marked by the course teaching assistants.
The examination for each course takes place at the end of the year, during April and May. The rubric for the examination paper will nearly always sections reflecting the components that make up each of the above courses.
