You are to come to recitation prepared to discuss the readings, or to discuss videos seen during the lecture sessions preceding the recitation. For each recitation session, you are to prepare two typewritten questions or comments on the recitatins, on the videos, or on lecturs by guest speakers. Recitation discussions will focus in part on these questions and you will submit them to the TA each week. Your TA will determine your recitation grade based on your attendance, preparation for discussion, and participation in discussions. TA will give further information on the on the required contents of the portfolio.
Portfolios are to be submitted at the end of the semester for the computation of final grades.
No assignment will be accepted late without such discussion. This recitation section is ideal for juniors and seniors who are interested in studying a particular topic in depth and who are interested in ehtnography as a means of research. This section involves more reading than the other sections, but written assignments will be adjusted accordingly. This section is perfect for those who are familiar with and comfortable with the Web and who are willing to conduct their discussions with other members of this section using the computer mediated technology available to us. There will be extra assignments designed for this session.
