Instructions
Due, as an attachment, via the “Assignments” tool on Canvas, by 11:55pm
Wednesday, February 3, in MSWord format or in a format easily convertible to
MSWord (e.g., Open Office, plain text, or RTF).
Answer any one of the questions listed here in 2–3 pages (double spaced).
Each question is about some issue raised most centrally in a certain part of the
reading. However, you can and should use material from anywhere in the text
where it’s relevant to the answer.
Because this is an exam rather than a paper, I will give priority to accuracy
over originality in grading. However, all the questions do require some thought;
they can’t simply be read out of the texts. Moreover, in many (if not all) cases the
“correct” answer is unavoidably a matter of interpretation: in such cases it would
be safest to reproduce what I said in class, but it will also be acceptable if you’re
clearly following some other reasonable interpretation. And, of course, as usual,
your answer must be “original” in the sense that it is your own work. (If you
use any outside source — which I don’t recommend — you must cite
it.)
If you have any questions about what plagiarism is or how to avoid
it, you can ask me, or consult the resources listed on the Library
website.[1]https://guides.library.ucsc.edu/citesources/plagiarism.
For possible consequences of plagiarism, see the Academic Misconduct
Policy.[2]https://www.ue.ucsc.edu/academic_misconduct.
You can cite Leviathan by chapter and paragraph number (e.g. XIV.3) and/or
page number in the Hackett edition. If you cite an outside source, you may use
any citation format you want, just so long as you provide enough information for
me to figure out what you are citing.
You can find answers to some commonly asked questions about my
assignments and grading in my FAQ.
