Why do they have these things if they aren't supposed to help you at any point? Are they just for undergrads to use as fodder for their application to M.A./PhD programs?
If you happen to write something truly outstanding, and one of your profs tells you, 'This paper is truly outstanding, and you should try to get it published', then by all means go for it. But I wouldn't worry about publishing until you are about to enter the job market (i.e. 4-6 years into your PhD).
This is your forum to exchange ideas and questions about course material, philosophy talks at TTU, & any other philosophy stuff that you want to discuss beyond the classroom. From here you can also link to the TTU Philosophy Department as well as to my web site to find your course syllabus, advice on writing philosophy papers, and many other useful philosophy links (see below). The rules:1. To post a new topic: If you are not a contributor, email me with your topic and I will either post it for you or add you as a contributor. 2. To post a comment: Just click on the topic title or on 'comments' and the option to add a comment will show up at the bottom of the screen. 3. Don't be shy: anonymous postings will be deleted. Have fun!
