Then we will concentrate on the period 1970-present. This will be evaluated by participation in class discussions, evidence of having read and reflected upon the assigned readings before coming to class. These questions will guide our discussions and will be important to trying to build the ultimate writing assignment of this semester. Some readings will come with additional questions for discussion. Finally, I expect you to come to class regularly with questions that you develop from the readings.
Good questions are as valuable as good answers.
More specific instructions on these assignments will be handed out in class. Due April 1. 4. While you will not be graded on this, you are encouraged to consult with one of us about the progress of your paper during our scheduled office hours or by appointment. I encourage you to visit us often to ensure that you are clear about your direction. Except for the early part of the class, you will notice that I will only give general guidelines for assigned readings.
