Task<\/span>: Write a 500-word (main text only) essay that answers just <\/span><\/span>ONE <\/span><\/span>of the questions given below (which question you choose to answer is up to you). Make sure to carefully read and follow the Guidelines given after the questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

(Read carefully, continues on the next page)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Your essay must demonstrate your familiarity with the relevant readings, ideas, and<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

We want to see you explaining and evaluating the key ideas and arguments in your own words, so quotes should be used very sparingly, but it should still be clear from what you write that you have studied the relevant readings and lecture materials from this subject. Also d<\/span>on\u2019t rely on random things you find on the internet<\/span>, as there is a lot of unreliable material out there. The <\/span><\/span>SEP <\/span><\/span>and <\/span><\/span>IEP <\/span><\/span>are reliable online resources and, of course, you can rely on any online resources that we have provided, but primarily you should<\/span><\/p>\n

be relying on the works in the library reading list when doing your assignments. <\/span><\/span>\u2022<\/span><\/p>\n

. For related information see the Library Guide on AI tools <\/span><\/span>here<\/span>, and La Trobe\u2019s <\/span><\/span>policies on academic misconduct <\/span><\/span>here<\/span>. It is permissible, although not advisable (as the quality of its advice varies and building up your own skills in these areas is important), to use generative AI as a tool for guidance on things like how to structure your essay or checking if your sentences are grammatical. But if you do that you must include in your reference<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

lecture materials from this subject<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Your essay must be your own work and you must not use generative AI tools (like e.g.,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

ChatGPT) to write substantial parts of your essay or to generate your references<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>Failure to follow this guidance is potentially academic misconduct which may have serious<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

consequences<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

list\/bibliography at the end of your essay a short statement of what AI tool you have used and <\/span><\/span>how you have used it (e.g., \u201cChatGPT used for advice on how to structure my essay\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span><\/span>Do not plagiarise or commit other related forms of academic misconduct<\/span>. For guidance see: <\/span><\/span>https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/students\/admin\/academic-integrity<\/span>. And note that any sentences from another text that appear in your essay need to be put in quotation marks and referenced properly in the text as well as in your bibliography at the end. Just having the relevant work listed in your bibliography is not enough, as you have to make it clear what text in your essay is yours <\/span><\/span>and what isn\u2019t. And <\/span><\/span>note also that quotes should be used sparingly, as what we want to see in your essay is how well you can explain and evaluate philosophical ideas in your own words.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span><\/span>A late penalty of 5% of the total possible marks for the essay applies for each (working) day beyond the (original or extended) due date up to but not exceeding 5 days. An assignment submitted more than 5 working days after its due date will not be accepted without an extension or successful special consideration request.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span><\/span>Extension and special considerations requests should be submitted online using the relevant forms here: <\/span><\/span>http:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/?a=668155<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Essays should include proper referencing. You can use any one of the major referencing <\/span><\/span>styles given here: <\/span><\/span>http:\/\/www.lib.latrobe.edu.au\/referencing-tool\/ <\/span><\/span>. The key thing is that the referencing be complete and consistent (i.e., choose one of these major referencing styles and stick to it).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Make sure you state the exact question you are answering at the top of the first page of <\/span><\/span>your assignment, and make sure that your essay clearly addresses the tasks set by that question.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The word limit only applies to the main text and so it does not include things like your <\/span><\/span>reference list at the end, or the text stating the question you are answering. Your essay should be within 10% +\/- of the word limit (so 50 words over\/under), and a failure to stay within that 10% +\/- will impact your grade. If you are struggling to get up to the word limit that is usually a sign that key ideas are not being fully explained and\/or examined. If you are struggling to get down to the word limit that is often a sign that your prose needs to be more direct and succinct, and you may also need to be more selective in what points you include in your discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 For guidance on writing philosophy essays see<\/span>: (i) the rubric for Assignment 1 (under <\/span><\/span>\u2018<\/span>Assessments<\/span>\u2019<\/span>), and (ii) the <\/span><\/span>resources in the \u2018Philosophy Toolbox\u2019 under the \u2018Start Here\u2019 <\/span><\/span>grid on the LMS site. Note also that Jesse Brindley (our subject support tutor) will do a seminar on essay writing in the run up to this assignment (an LMS announcement will be made in Week 2 with the details).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Same standard for As and Bs<\/span>:
All the material in the essay is directly addressing the tasks set by the essay question,<\/span><\/p>\n

and no key tasks have been left unaddressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The essay clearly demonstrates the student\u2019s detailed engagement with the relevant <\/span><\/span>lecture materials and readings.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Most of the material is addressing the tasks set by the essay question, but there may be some small exceptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The essay engages with the relevant lecture materials and readings, but the discussion suggests that these materials needed to be studied more closely and carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There is significant material which is not directly helping to address the tasks set by the essay question, or a key task has been left unaddressed. The essay engages with some relevant lecture materials and readings, but that engagement is superficial.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There is lots of material which is not helping to address the tasks set by the essay question, and key tasks have not been addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The essay does not demonstrate that the student has properly engaged with the relevant lecture materials and readings.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The discussion is insightful and the main claims in the essay are clearly identified and well supported.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The essay does a very good job of identifying and evaluating some key critical issues, but there is room for improvement (e.g., perhaps the critical discussion needed to be more selective in what issues it covered so that it could be more in-depth).<\/span><\/p>\n

The main claims are clearly identified and well supported.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
