University of Kansas, Spring 2004
Philosophy 160: Introduction to Ethics
Ben Eggleston—eggleston@ku.edu
Preview of test on applied ethics
The test will be given in class on Monday, May 10. There will be twenty
multiple-choice questions, each worth 5 points.
The questions will be drawn from two sources.
- First, many of the questions will be based on the study questions for the
applied-ethics part of the course. If you can answer the study questions, you
should be able to answer the multiple-choice questions that will be based on
them.
- Second, many of the questions will be based on the written notes displayed
on the screen in class during lectures. If you understand and have absorbed
the content of those written notes, you should have no trouble with the multiple-choice questions based
on them.
To study for the test, you should study not only these sources—the study
questions and your lecture notes—but also the passages in the articles that are
emphasized in the questions and notes. As before, you’ll find re-reading these
passages to be a lot easier and faster than reading them the first time was, so
be sure to take advantage of your increased understanding of the articles and
re-examine them when studying for the test.
