If you think that you may have to miss a class, you should turn in your response papers before class. You may place them in my mailbox in 101 Gowen Hall. Students will write a review of one of the required texts. Since one of the texts is a collection of articles, students should choose several of the articles read in class for review. Book reviews are not book reports.
Book reports are descriptive and provide a summary of the contents.
Book reviews contain analysis and commentary. Be careful in your selection. Select a text that is interesting to you and inspires critical comments. Find other work by the author you have selected. Keep quotations from the text to a minimum and document ones that you use by citing them in endnotes.
