No marks in the first question are for evaluation, its 8/15 for A01 and 7/15 for A02

Could you please give me an example of how to pick up A02 marks in a 15 mark questions? I'm not really sure.

I HATE NELSON AND THORNES. If I'd have used the Lacewing textbook, these notes would have taken an hour or two to do - these have taken me 6/7 hours. Admittedly I have been distracted, but there ya go. Here are the notes for the Appearance and Reality section of Plato's Republic...

Knowledge and virtue will be up later - political rule may take some more time.

Thank you!!! I've finished my notes on Thrasymachus' argument from the first examined section, and hopefully will have the rest done tomorrow.

Here are the notes for Knowledge and Virtue.

If i get the grades Im going to Sheffield to do philosophy also

Philosophy in year 12 started so well.. . I was lucky enough to have a teacher that really brought you into the subject and showed you the intellectual beauty of it. The influence of Lacewing's ALP-influenced approach on the exam board killed it for me, and made me understand why the A level is considered 'soft' by many universities; it's more about cramming knowledge than analytical discourse. Unit 3 - and in my opinion especially moral philosophy - demonstrated this.
I'd need 3As to apply for the course I want to do next year, and considering I've failed Unit 3, I'm just putting all my efforts into the two economics exams, hoping to maybe get an A* in either that or Maths, and letting my grade in philosophy drop, as no matter what I got in Unit 4, I wouldn't get an A, and hence couldn't cash it in.

There aren't 'assess' marks available for the 15-mark question, at least, not according to the specimen paper, or to my tutor (who is head examiner for PHIL2 now, so I think I'm going to trust him!). Don't panic.

Anyone studying Descartes here? And if so - does anybody have some notes they might possibly, please, consider sharing?

heya, i found some old stuff thats ok. Although Descartes is a little boring, luckily its great to be able to attack his whole philosophical method, which we did in PHIL1! Here be the notes, good luck for tomorrow everyone!

Um... my computer can't cope with the file extension. There isn't any chance you could put it as .doc or .rtf or something, is there, please?

But thank you!

one of these should work
