This is the blog for PHIL 3301, Moral Issues: Personal and
Professional. The agenda for each class meeting, as well as readings
and assignments, will be posted here. Please check this spot frequently
for links to readings, updates to assignments and information about any
schedule changes. I try to keep last-minute information to a minimum,
but sometimes they are unavoidable and so this is a good means of
communication.

Write a page (not more): Suppose someone randomly picked YOU to speak
for yourself and your classmates at your graduation--what would you say
about the meaning and content of YOUR education, however long it's
taken.
