Section 13 Group 3 Class Summary 9/2

We started midterm presentations today right after we rushed through a quick quiz.  We were not able to do DQs today in order to save time however we were encouraged to post any DQs we really like on here and have a discussion via web.  All of group 2 we scheduled to present today.  The first group, whose names I can not remember, had a thrilling class discussion over their This I Believe essays.  The topic was religion and they were able to give us four different points of view which included: an atheists, a religious, a scientific , and an agnostic points of view.  However our class discussion ran a bit longer then expected and the second group of group 2 was not able to finish their presentation before the end of class.  Their presentation though is over the philosophical meanings of different songs. 

Also I'm not sure if we assigned a different author at the end of class but I haven't seen their post up yet so I took it upon myself to be the author. Btw this is also Shania and like I said with the study guide questions, I'm using Melissa's account because I cant publish from my account.

  3. I am in Section 13 Group 2, and there is no summary of last Wednesday up for our group so I am posting my FQ, DQ, and link on this one.

    FQ: Who used the notion of primary and secondary qualities?

    DQ: To believe in God you must believe in the Devil. If one exists so does the other. So if the evil demon is deceiving us about the existence of God, does that not prove God exists?
