PHIL 105: Current Moral and Social Issues (Rutgers, Summer Session 2008)
This course introduces students to basic techniques of informal logic and several leading ethical theories. We apply these skills to current debates on topics such as abortion, poverty, health care reform, torture and detainment, and free speech. (Students, see the version posted on Sakai website).

PHILOSOPHY-- Oxford Prep Experience (Summer 2006, 2007)
This class was a whirlwind introduction to themes in ethics and political philosophy. I planned the course and taught it to a group of eighth, ninth and tenth grade students at an intensive summer academic program at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. I offered a shorter version in summer 2007. SYLLABUS
ACADEMIC ADVISING:
BUNTING-COBB ANNUAL REPORT (2007-2008)
I serve as Head Graduate Fellow in a residential community for women working in science and math. Here is a copy of our annual report for the year. It discusses all of the different advising programs we put on for our students. Annual Report 2008.
OTHER HANDOUTS:
WRITING FOR PHILOSOPHY
Philosophical writing is somewhat different from other kinds of academic writing. It is tough to master, but working at it will make all of our other writing (and thinking) far more clear. This handout has tips and advice for planning, drafting and editing papers for your first philosophy course. WRITINGFORPHILOSOPHY.pdf
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY HANDOUTS (2007-2008)
I have prepared a few lessons on issues related to undergraduates and academic integrity. One is for a group of Rutgers student leaders (PALs) and the other is a more general introduction. Ethics for Rutgers PALs. Intro to Academic Integrity.
