The second semester seniors in this course extends the research begun in PHIL 488 Senior Capstone Experience I with a view toward preparing the first semester's work for presentation at Earlham's Annual Research Conference and possibly for publication in an undergraduate philosophy journal. Additionally, this course will provide instruction preparing students for an oral exam at the end of the semester in the subject area they have been researching. If adjustments are needed to this schedule to allow for off-campus study or other reasons, students may petition the Philosophy Department in writing with a rationale supporting a proposal for a different schedule.
