Free Will and Determinism Public Service Announcement Parody Assignment
Here's the story. I was watching TV during Friday's "holiday" and I came across a few pretty interesting and a few pretty (unintentionally) hilarious public service announcements. It was then that I had an epiphany. Sophomores, amongst other things, are funny, and I want you to harness that innate aptitude for humor to create your own PSAs. The theme...Free Will and/ or Determinism.
I want you to work in groups of three or four. You'll pick a position related to Free Will/ Libertarianism or Determinism and create a PSA that informs, warns, educates, or scares the population into some belief about a particular philosophical position. Imagine it now the "dangers" of "free will!"
You will have a major grade for the Presentation portion, and I'll need a script of your work (quiz grade). Also, we'll have time in class to work on this and I'll give a daily grade for observed work in class.
You will be graded on the strength of your understanding of the philosophical position AND how funny you are.
