Thesis-driven research papers typically focus on the history of philosophy and are about 20-25 pages in length. Thesis-defense papers are written on a constructive, contemporary philosophical problem and are typically about 15 pages in length. This is a project rather than simply a paper, because the project requires satisfactory completion of all three distinct parts (thesis proposal, the paper itself and the oral presentation). Guided by a supervisor in the philosophy program (or by a supervisor approved by the program director), students are expected to exemplify skills of independent research, critical and creative thinking, formal writing and oral presentation of the project.

The writing component of the course introduces students to fact-based, logic-based legal writing through the use of case briefs and other writing assignments. The focus is on a writing style that identifies the facts supporting a legal analysis and leads the reader to a logical legal conclusion.
