Read these instructions carefully and with attention.
After participating in Discussion III, you should submit Written Exercise II. For this exercise you can choose to write about St. Augustine, St. Anselm and Gaunilo or Descartes. Select only one of the prompts below.
You should aim to write around 750 words; this is about two double-spaced pages, of Times New Roman, 12pt, font. Elaborate your thoughts well and clearly. Your writing should be at its best: good grammar, good syntax, and no typos. Remember to proofread before submitting. (Also, read through the Written Exercise Rubric). I strongly suggest you submit your exercise as a PDF, since Turnitin works best with it.
Keep in mind that plagiarism is penalized in this course. You will submit the Written Exercise through Turnitin. You will be able to see a similarity report before submitting. I will not accept any written exercises that have a similarity report and an AI use report above 25%. If your similarity report and your AI use report are above 25%, you will have to revise your exercise and submit again. Given the criteria, the best strategy to follow is to stick to the main readings, the Prof. Notes, and your own thoughts. This exercise is meant to measure three general areas: writing, reading comprehension, and critical thinking. Thus, aim at writing it on your own, and consulting as minimally as you can any other sources. Quoting is allowed, but it must be minimal. If you are quoting any material, use quotation marks and include the author and title of the source.
Prompts:
1) St. Augustine option: Explain why and how the memory of happiness is important to St. Augustine’s proof of the existence of God.
