Required Texts Damien Keown and Charles Prebish, Buddhism-The eBook (eBook) Charles Prebish, Buddhism-The American Experience (eBook) How to Buy the eBooks The eBooks may be purchased in one of two ways. You may go to the Journal of Buddhist Ethics Online Books website at www.jbeonlinebooks.org and order the books online by paying with a credit card. If you choose this option, the eBooks will be downloaded to your computer directly from the website. If you prefer, you may print out an order form from the website and mail it, with your check or money order, to the address indicated. You will then receive a CD-ROM with the eBooks on it by return mail. Course Requirements There will be two examinations and a final examination (total: 3 exams). The first two exams will be objective in nature. The final examination will be essay in format and comprehensive in nature. Exam number 1 will be given at the end of week 6. Exam number 2 will be given at the end of week 13. Make-up examinations will be granted only for medical problems or family emergencies, and must be properly documented. Medical excuses offered at the conclusion of the course are NOT retroactive. If you have an ongoing medical or psychological problem, you must notify the professor as soon as the problem is identified. Notification of non-attendance for an examination must be filed prior to, or no later than one hour after, the examination. Excuses such as oversleeping or failed alarm clocks are NOT considered valid excuses for missing an examination. Non-excused absences for examinations will yield a non-negotiable grade of "F" for that item.
