1. |
Complete ALL assigned readings. |
|
2. |
Lead discussion on one or more occasions (the exact number will depend on number students registered for the class). Joint presentations are acceptable. |
|
3. |
Discussion leaders should only briefly summarize the reading(s). The leader should assume that everyone has read the reading(s), and does not need to have it repeated in great detail. The discussion should focus on your elaborations of the reading(s). This involves clarifying the reading(s) (guided in part by questions submitted by other class members), critiquing the research, and including other material/viewpoints from additional articles. |
|
4. |
Formulate three questions for the day's discussion leader. These are to be submitted by email to the presenter before 10:00AM on Monday before class. A copy of the questions must also be emailed to the instructor (christiansen@cornell.edu). |
|
5. |
Participate in the discussions. Grades will in part be based on discussion participation. Sitting silently through every class is NOT acceptable. |
|
6. |
Write a final 15-20-page (4270) or 25-30-page (6270) double-spaced paper focusing on several of the topics discussed in class. This paper will require some research, and must include additional articles not discussed in class. A one-page synopsis outlining a proposed paper must be submitted to the instructor at the start of class November 10. The full paper is due December 1. |
