Learning unit contents
The end-of-term work of the first cycle (TFC) aims to ensure that the basic knowledge and skills of University training in philosophy are acquired by the students. It is prepared and written under the supervision of a member of the teaching staff and submitted to a reader.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Following the training sessions that took place in the courses of "Introduction to contemporary philosophy" (PHIL0019-1) and "Exercises on the history of philosophy" (PHIL1103-2), the student will have to demonstrate that he or she is capable of
- reading a philosophy text by grasping the core issues at stake in the text and questionning the key ideas held by the author (a mere summary will not be considered an original work).
- writing a decent, clear and well-articulated paper

Further information:
The assessment of the TFC will depend both on the quality of the written work and the quality of the oral defense.
Written piece of work: The TFC will consist of a work of 20 to 30 pages (font 12, 1.5 spacing). The rules of writing and method mentioned in the syllabus are applicable (see the "course material" tab). Correct syntax and spelling will be part of the work requirements. The dates for handing in the TFC (1st and 2nd session) are set each year by the study council. Students are expected to scrupulously respect these deadlines. Any late submissions will be punished and could result in postponement.
Oral defense: The TFC will be the subject of a 60-minute oral defense before a panel of two people including the supervisor and another reader. The student will be required to briefly present the results of his or her work (10 minutes) and respond to any observations and questions that may be addressed to him or her.
