• Did you define key concepts and describe the arguments and views you discuss?

• Did you answer every part of the question completely?
• Did you define key concepts and describe the arguments and views you discuss?
• Did you provide cogent reasons in favor of your answers that address issues raised in class?
• Did you express yourself clearly?
Remember, your goal is to demonstrate that you understand. Make sure you include enough detail, in your own words, to show that you understand the topics.
When you rely on information from any source, (i) it should be expressed in your own words, and (ii) the source should be fully cited using a standard citation format (such as MLA, APA, or Chicago Style Manual). This includes the readings for the course. When you cite from the textbook, use the citation for paper in a collected volume.

1. Do we have coherentist justification for the claim that substance dualism is true? Explain in detail what the coherentist justification of dualism is, or why there is no coherentist justification.

2. An investigator is studying the effects of different responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, trying to learn lessons for the next pandemic. First, explain how the investigator’s values (whatever they are) will affect which questions they will pursue in most detail. Then, explain which questions standpoint theories would prioritize, given the values they start from.

3. Explain how Patricia Churchalnd’s argument concluding that the mind is physical relies on induction. Is this reliance on induction a problem (as the Problem of Induction might suggest)? Explain why you think it is or is not a problem.
