Meditation III, Descartes offers an argument for God’s existence

Format:
You are to write a paper of approximately 1000 words on the topic below. It should have a title page on which you list a descriptive title (not, e.g., “Paper 1”), your name, your student number, your tutorial section number, and your TA’s name.
Your paper must also include an abstract. This is a short (less than 50 word) summary that states your thesis and the rough structure of your paper. You should assume that your reader has not read your abstract when s/he reads the body of your essay. You may use lines directly from your abstract in your introduction or elsewhere. (The word count from your abstract is not part of the roughly 1000 words.)
Outside sources and citations:
I urge you not to use any outside sources, but I do not forbid it. However, if you do use outside sources, be sure to cite them properly. Be sure that you have read and understood everything on our “Avoiding Academic Dishonesty” page and the pages linked to it, and that you have done and understood the library tutorial also linked to it. It is your responsibility to avoid plagiarism. As you will see from reading the relevant material, the standard penalty for a case of plagiarism is zero on the assignment in question. If you have any questions, now is the time to ask them. Ignorance of the regulations and how to comply with them will be no defence. (If you use material from lecture, it should be in paraphrase, and it should be cited. If your indebtedness is rather vague, you may, in this case, cite it in just general terms. I.e., just acknowledge once that you are drawing on material from lecture, either in a footnote or in parentheses. But be sure that you are not just parroting lecture!)
