Alright, here's what I suggest you do:
1. Define "foundationalism"
2. Kill yourself
Easiest way to avoid a failing grade. Barring that, invest some time into learning how to use Google.

You can get these answers on wikipedia, but if you honestly don't already know what "cogito ergo sum" means than you're never gonna make it
