There will be discussion of the reading assignments, and several videos will also be shown. You will read chapters 17-33 during the spring semester. The text provides the continuous narrative to tie together the lecture notes and collateral reading. You will profit from reading the chapters early so that you have a framework to evaluate the classroom material and participate in discussion. The instructor will provide study guides that will aid in identifying key items for each chapter.
All books are in the college library.
Within the first few days of two test periods, let the instructor know which book you are choosing and you will be assigned a due date. Each student must select a different book. Be prepared to discuss your reading briefly in class, and turn in a two-page typed review of each selection. Describe the actual content of what you read and analyze some of the main issues raised. Do not merely list the topics covered by the author or spend time evaluating the style of writing.
