To self-reflect on what it is like to go through a philosophical thought process.

QUESTION/PROMPT:

In what ways does Amy Shafer (Virgin Rock) model the three tips that Nick Byrd offers first-time philosophy students?

INSTRUCTIONS:

        In the process of answering the above question, you must do the following:

1. 1. Briefly, but clearly, articulate Byrd’s three tips (including “My Advice”).
      • What does he mean when he says “…”?
      • Why is he telling you this? What is to be gained by following his tips?
   2. Give specific time stamps for Shafer’s video when quoting or referencing a behavior.

FORMATTING: 

• Word document only (doc., docx). Pages should be set at 1’’ margins all around, use Times New Roman or Calibri font, and set at 12’’. No large spaces. No title page. No preamble. Etc. I only want your paper.
• You should think of this as an informal paper: I do not necessarily want the structure of Intro, Body, Conclusion; but I do want 1) a paper with a definite direction, 2) well thought and documented (cited) ideas, 3) and that shows that you understand both the reading and video and can engage with and synthesize information in relation to what is being asked of you.
