Accessing, Writing, and Submitting the Tests and the Final Exam
PHI 1104
Fall, 2022
Prof. L. Byrne
Questions during the Test
·
Students may ask the professor questions about non-course content during the test. The pro-
fessor will check her e-mail from time to time from 9 AM to 5 PM on the day of the test.
·
It is, nevertheless, simply common sense, given that you have a long period of time to write
and submit your test, that it cannot be guaranteed that you will receive a response at just the
moment you would like to have one. If you are waiting for a response, simply move to the
parts of the test about which you do not have a question.
·
Please submit your questions during the test to Prof. Byrne, not your TA.
Deadline to Submit your Test
·
Late submissions will be subject to a penalty of 10 points.
·
The test will be made available through the Brightspace Assignments tool by 5PM on the day
before the test. Students will have until 5PM on the day of the test to write and submit their
work. The professor has given students this wide window of time as many might be unfamil-
iar with accessing and submitting tests through Brightspace or have tech problems. This wide
submission window does not mean that the test will take 24 hours to write! The test is
roughly the same in terms of number of questions and the time it would take to write as a test
meant to be written in class. Class tests were written in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Academic Integrity
Plagiarism and Academic Fraud
: Students should familiarize themselves with the university’s
regulations regarding plagiarism and academic fraud by consulting Academic Regulations:
https://www2.uottawa.ca/about-us/policies-regulations/academic-regulation-i-14-academic-fraud
·
This course does not use
Respondus
. This is because, following recommendations and best
practices for online learning, the professor has constructed the test to measure deep learning
and critical thinking rather than memorization.
·
Students may consult their textbooks, course materials, and lecture notes. Students may not,
however, consult any other sources for information about course content. Students who do so
will be charged with academic fraud.
·
Students may, however, consult other sources such as dictionaries, for
non-course
content
when they do not know a certain fact or definition of a word. Concepts such as soundness,
statements, and validity, etc. count as course content. Facts such as France is in Europe and
definitions such as pure breed dogs must have parents of the same breed do not count as
course content.
·
If you have any questions about what does and does not constitute course content may email
the professor while writing the test. Please see
Questions during the Test
·
Each student must submit a test that is entirely their own work. Collaboration and assistance
of any kind, including proof reading by another party, is not allowed and will be treated as
academic fraud.

Assignments
·
Students are responsible for learning how to submit their tests using the Brightspace Assign-
ments tool. Students are also responsible for resolving any difficulties they encounter. This is
why students have been given a wide window of time to submit their tests.
·
The professor understands that working with the new learning technologies can be daunting
at times. The professor also understands that students’ first thought often is to ask the profes-
sor or TA for help. The professor and TAs, however, are not technical consultants for the
course and cannot under any circumstances undertake this role.
·
As a result, students are
strongly
advised to learn how to access and submit their tests and re-
solve technical difficulties before the day of the test. Learning how to access, write, and sub-
mit the test is
completely and without exception
the responsibility of each student.
Learning
how to resolve technical problems is
completely and without exception
the responsibility of
each student.
Students must understand that neither the professor nor the TAs have the re-
sources to resolve technical problems. Resolving technical problems is
completely and with-
out exception
the responsibility of each student.

Accessing your Test
·
The Test will be posted as a Word Document (.doc) by 5PM on the day before the day the test
is due. The test will be posted in the Assignments tool. It will be available as a file (doc).
·
You will have until 5PM on the day of the test to write and submit your test. The professor
has given you this wide window of time as many of you might be unfamiliar with accessing
and submitting work through Brightspace and resolving technical problems.
Writing your Test
2
·
Download the test to your computer and save it as a Word Document. Your test is a Word
Document (.doc). You can save it as either .doc or .docx.
·
Type
your answers on the test. Brightspace does not have the functionality to deal with hand-
written tests.
·
Students must follow the submission directions for tests and the final exam. Tests and final
exams which do not follow submission directions (submitting a handwritten test, submitting
to the wrong TA or section, submitting an assignment for another class, submitting in an in a
format other than Word [.doc or .docx.], etc.) will be subject to penalty of 10 grades. The
penalty will begin to apply at the 5PM submission deadline.
·
Save your completed test to your computer as a Word Document. You can save it as either
.doc or .docx.
·
Be sure to save your test as you work.
Be sure to keep a copy of your test on your computer,
even after you submit it.
Students themselves are entirely responsible for the consequences
of not backing up their work. It is always wise to double back-up your work on an external
hard drive, in your email, on in the Cloud.
Submitting your Test
·
Students may make unlimited submissions up to the 5PM submission deadline. Only the last
submission being kept by
Brightspace.

Penalties for Incorrect Submissions
·
Students are responsible for checking to see they have submitted a test or exam that is accept-
able for grading. Blank, incomplete, corrupted files or files that are unacceptable for grading
in some other way will be subject to penalty of 10 grades. The same applies to assignments
meant for other courses. The penalty will begin to apply at the 5PM submission deadline.
·
If you do submit a file that is obviously unacceptable, you will receive an email from your
TA informing you that your assignment has been incorrectly submitted; of the nature of the
problem, e.g., a blank file; that your work will receive a penalty of 10 marks; that the penalty
applies at the 5PM submission deadline, and that you must contact me, asking me to reopen
the window of submission so that you can resubmit.
·
While students will be notified about submissions that are obviously unacceptable, it is
ultimately the student’s responsibility to check that they have submitted an acceptable test or
exam. As a result, once the grades tests and exams have been returned, students may not

appeal the grade by claiming that they inadvertently submitted an unacceptable or incomplete
assignment.
·
Students must follow all the submission directions for tests and the final exam. Tests and fi-
nal exams which do not follow submission directions (submitting to the wrong TA, submit-
ting in an in a format other than Word [.doc or .docx.], etc.) will be subject to late penalty of
10 grades. The penalty will begin to apply at the 5PM submission deadline.
·
If you do not follow submission directions, you will receive an email from your TA
informing you that your assignment has been incorrectly submitted; of the nature of the
problem, e.g., submitted to the wrong TA, submitted in the incorrect format, etc.; that your
work will receive a penalty of 10 marks; that the penalty applies at the 5PM submission
deadline, and that you must contact the Professor by email, asking her to reopen the window
of submission so that you can resubmit.
Policy for Students who cannot Submit a Test or Exam Ontime because of Tech Problems
If you have tech problems during an online test or exam such as a power failure, computer break-
down, internet connectivity issues, or Brightspace freezing, etc., you have two options:
1) You may write the make-up test. To do this, you must submit convincing proof which the uni-
versity would recognise of the technical difficulty, e.g., correspondence with Brightspace or
other tech services; computer logs of saved files; receipts for computer repair; correspondence
with your internet provider; screenshots of Brightspace freezing, etc.
2) You may submit your work late. In this case, your work will receive a penalty of 10 marks.
This penalty applies at the time of the submission deadline. If you choose this option, you must
email me, requesting that I re-open the submission window.
Policy for Students who cannot Submit a Test or Exam Ontime because Brightspace
Freezes when Assignments are Submitted Close to the Deadline
·
Don’t leave submission until the last minute!
Brightspace tends to freeze when many stu-
dents try to submit just around the deadline
.
·
It is your responsibility to avoid this well-known technical glitch by starting early enough to
have plenty of time to submit before the last minute. Remember, the 24 hour submission win-
dow does not mean that the test will take 24 hours to write! The test is roughly the same in
terms of number of questions and the time it would take to write as a test meant to be written
in class. Class tests were written in 1 hour and 20 minutes.
·
If you encounter this glitch when you try to submit just around the deadline, your paper will
be treated as a late submission.
See
Deadline to Submit your Test
above.

Question
1.
Given what we know from the
Republic
, do you agree with what Socrates says about ruling
and philosophy? (7 marks as per the mark breakdown above)
Your Answer
P1
: Socrates thinks that philosophers should rule the city so since they are better able to know
the truth and since they have the relevant practical knowledge by which to rule.
P2:
They love what is rather than what becomes, they despise falsehood, they are reasonable,
they are brave, they learn quickly, they have a good memory, they like proportion since the truth
10
is like it, and they have a pleasant disposition. These qualities demonstrate that the philosopher
has what is needed to rule well.
P3
:
Also, Socrates was a philosopher and, according to the oracle, the wisest and knowledgable
person.
C:
Therefore, I agree on Socrates that philosophers will be the great rulers.
