<p>look through the philosophy department and classes showcased therein. they’ve got grade statistics for most of them, showing the allotments. </p>

<p>no such thing as multiple choice / true false, so far as i (yet) know.
all but one of my mid terms / finals were take home essays, usually 5-7 pages.
the one inclass was essay format. the questions are multi-part and very specific. each one subtly implores you to give your own insight to one aspect of an argument. basically, it’s understood before hand that you should know what the argument is… the one from whatever text you’re writing about. your answer should elaborate on some sort of ambiguity or discrepancy, or agreement with or about the initial argument.
teach gave us a list of 7 multiquestion, no-right-answer-type essay prompts, then told us that 3 will be on the test. one of our choosing, two of his. this is pretty much the format that any phil class is going to take.
also, if you don’t have any experience writing philosophy papers, look into it. it’s different than your typical english essay. </p>
<p>good luck</p>
