In addition, you should consult the book review section of a scholarly science or social science journal for models to follow in drafting your book reviews. I will circulate a sign-up sheet so that you may choose your dates. The nature of this course makes us all very interdependent. If you sign up to lead the discussion for a particular date, you must meet that obligation. You may trade days freely, but I must be notified of such changes in advance.
Essays are due in class on the date specified.
I will be flexible with due dates for individual students who come to me before the essay is due with a good reason why they will not be able to finish on time. The Biology of Conflict and Sex, Wilson Chs. The Social Psychological Approach, Bellah et al., Chs. For three of the four books that we will read for this course, you are required to submit a review essay of some 3 to 5 printed pages. You will choose which three to review, but be aware that I will provide feedback and the opportunity to revise only on the Futuyama essay.
