Readings
should be completed prior to the class meeting for which they
are listed. The Syllabus below specifies the reading for each
week. To see reading for a specific week, choose:
For the first seven weeks we will be reading secondary sources.
During these weeks, two members of the class will be assigned
the task of leading each particular session. During the last
six weeks, the class readings will focus on the research projects.(See Paper
Overview) Class participation is an integral part of the
course, so attendance is mandatory.
Please note that most of the
readings are available for purchase. Many are also on reserve.
For purposes of discussion, be prepared to define (1) the authors
main point, (2) the type of evidence used to make that point,
(3) your assessment of whether the evidence and argument convincingly
sustain the conclusions, and (4) the relationship to other works
we have read.
