A key skill in philosophy is the ability to critique an argument, but you must first be able to correctly
and succinctly describe the argument at hand. Hence, you will write a brief summary (précis) of one of
two articles (Altman or Arthur) from the free speech topic of no more than 500 words. Start by asking:
what is the conclusion of the article? then work your way backwards to understanding the reasons given
for the conclusion. Finally, write a succinct and purely descriiptive (i.e., not evaluative) essay.
