WHAT IS IT FOR? |
|
The Clinic is intended to help students learn to compose philosophy essays and to deal with the special problems of philosophical writing. The Clinic is not designed to provide instruction in basic writing skills, and it certainly cannot provide individual tutorials in the subject matter of philosophy courses. What the Clinic can do is help the student identify the basic types of philosophy essay, the ways an argument can be built and the ways an essay can go wrong. The Clinic is most helpful when an essay is in its initial stages and there is a rough draft. A last minute visit to Clinic right before a deadline is of very little value.

Clinic services are available to any student enrolled in a philosophy course at the University of Toronto, including courses cross listed with other departments, for work in their philosophy courses only.

It is important that students BRING A COPY OF THE ASSIGNED ESSAY TOPICS, as well as all preliminary work, to their appointments. Students who miss two appointments without notifying the department ahead of time will not be allowed to book appointments for the remainder of the year.
