The assignment which is due Thursday, October 19th will involve using Statistics Canada data on selected manufacturing industries for the Government documents library in the Data Porter Arts Library. Much of the course material will be covered in a series of seminars. All members of the seminar are expected to be prepared and to contribute to every seminar. For each seminar, key readings will be identified which will enable all seminar members to prepare themselves with respect to the issued being discussed. Each student will lead one seminar discussion.
Topics are to be selected in relation to the syllabus.
The seminar presentation is intended to lay the ground work for the subsequent discussion by the group as a whole. The presentation should not exceed 30 minutes. For each of the presentations a 'critic' will be responsible for leading the discussion of the material outlined in the presentation. The topic should be discussed and agreed upon with me. A brief outline is to be submitted by Tuesday, October 3rd.
