  • Hugo Bedau, Thinking and Writing About Philosophy, 2nd ed. (2002), pp. 7-15 [selection in Coursepack 1 / book on reserve]
  • Gordon Harvey, Writing with Sources, pp. 1-3, 6, 10-19, 22-23, 50-51 [purchase book / selection in Coursepack 1 / book on reserve]

**Please print your assignment double-spaced and with one-inch margins, using a 10-12-point font.  Please number and staple the pages you hand in.
