Technical Writing Samples: Philosophy Teaching Materials



Most of these are slide decks for the course Foundations of Cognitive Science. While they are meant to be accompanied by verbal explanations, I think they are usually effective in cutting through to the core elements of the topics covered, and are comprehensible on their own. They also display a greater range of diagrams and visual presentation of information than my other materials. The tone is light and meant to engage students who usually have no intrinsic interest in these topics.
