The idea of this paper is to ensure students have done the reading and some level of reflection on it as preparation for class. As the quality of this seminar rests on participation and everyone is expected to be a co-teacher, attendance is crucial. In addition, the syllabus mentions short papers based on internet sites or searches. These are in addition to , not instead of, the papers based on the reading. The term paper is a research paper based on a topic you want to know more about.
Interviews can be over the phone or in person.
Please write down a list of questions in advance and be prepared. Do not ask questions that could be easily answered by reading the organization s pamphlet. The paper should list the people you talked to, their title, the organization they are affiliated with, and their contact information. For those students who work in the area of domestic violence, please do not interview co-workers or people you routinely talk to anyway. If you are feeling cynical or frustrated about all the violence, then use the paper to examine interventions and solutions.
