a. Form a single thesis statement that you would like to defend on the topic of metaphysics (reality). This is where you also want to begin with an introduction that defines the terms you will use.
b. Use the four-step course methodology of understanding, analysis, evaluation, and application to develop your thesis.
c. Provide arguments both in support of and in opposition to your thesis. Use examples from the textbook and outside research citing at least three different philosophers/scholars.
d. Give your response to these arguments from others. Are they valid? Where do they lack validity?
e. Provide a summary of your findings in the conclusion. Did your beginning thesis statement on metaphysics/ontology hold true?
