Choosing from one of the shorter texts listed above, each week students will give a 15 minutes long, graded, formal presentation to the class. You will read, study, and summarize the text carefully and prepare a handout for the class that you will also discuss with your professor beforehand during office hour. Meeting with the professor prior to your presentation is mandatory. You need to make an appointment. A second meeting in my office to discuss your research proposal is mandatory as well.
Attendance is required.
The class is heavily discussion-based. If you miss the presentation you signed up for, you may not make it up. For each day that the paper is late thereafter, I will subtract 1 point. Watch Pocahontas Read Wong. Read hooks and Jen.
