UTOPISM. *** In the long run, nothing else is realistic. *** Welcome to the English language blog of Morten Tønnessen, Professor of philosophy at University of Stavanger's Department of Social Studies.
Today I have given the first lecture this semester in Ex.phil. at the University of Stavanger´s Department of psychology (SVEXPHIL-IP). The topic, besides course information, was epistemology. Some 60-70 students attended.
My work in Ex.phil. this Autumn is partly on my regular work plan (at Department of social studies) and partly overtime work. I am responsible for half the teaching, half the grading, and all assessment of a compulsory assignment, in addition to being course coordinator.
This Autumn I have assessed an application concerning promotion to docent/associate professor for Södertörns högskola (Sweden), within philosophy.
Today I have assessed 20 submitted compulsory assignments in Ex.phil. for a second time (that is, I assessed revised versions). Moreover, I assessed three extra assignments related to insufficient compulsory presence at seminars. The assignments are considered as pass/fail.

Over the last three weeks or so I have assessed 96 submitted compulsory assignments in Ex.phil. (120 including non-submitted assignments). The assignments are considered as pass/fail.
Over the last few weeks I have assessed 56 compulsory assignment texts from students in Ex.phil. which is part of the bachelor in psychology at University if Stavanger´s Department of social studies. Today I´ll assess three resubmitted, revised texts. The assessment result is pass/fail.
