For my MCCC Philosophy of Religion Students:
Your oral exam will be given in room A-153.
The Questions are:
1. Anselm's Ontological Argument for God's existence
2. Gaunilo's criticism of Anselm, followed by a criticism of Gaunilo
3. Kant's criticism of the Ontological Argument; Norman Malcolm's counter-response
4. Craig & Moreland's Kalam Cosmological Argument for God's existence
5. Paley's Teleological Argument for God's existence
6. Hume's criticisms of the Teleological Argument
7. Robin Collins's Fine-Tuning Argument for God's existence
(I evaluate my students' understanding of the material by giving three 10-minute face-to-face, individual, oral examinations. I have found that this allows me to effectively evaluate what the students know. They have the questions in advance. My class lectures give the answers to these questions, so students know exactly what they will be evaluated on.)
