Due by December 3 in class but can be handed in earlier. Your thoughtful participation is important for many reasons. I expect students to refer to the readings and make observations about what you thought and why, and raise any questions that you have and are curious about exploring. Thoughtful discussion based on critical reading is much more important than lots of discussion based solely on opinion. This component of the grade for the course is based on your capacity to critically discuss the theories, perspectives, controversies, assumptions, and so on presented in the texts.
Attendance is critical.
If you cannot attend class for medical reasons or in case of emergency, please inform me in advance.
