Reading Reflections And Assigned Readings Have Been Posted

Question

Reading Reflections Assigned readings have been posted to the course

Complete the readings before the class session for which they are listed, and come to class prepared to discuss them. For FIVE days during the quarter, submit a written reflection to the weekly Dropbox before the start of the lecture for that day. Reflections should be at least 250 words and may respond to one or several of the assigned readings. Longer is fine.

These reflections should not simply summarize the readings, but should offer critical comments and points for discussion. Assignments receiving full points will meet the following criteria:

Show that you understand the concepts and arguments presented in the assigned reading. Leave no doubt that you have completed a close reading of the text and use quotes, details, or evidence to support your points.
Be thoughtful, clear, and well-argued. You will NOT be graded on your opinion. It is ok to disagree with the article’s author, your fellow students and with the professor. However, your posts should not simply state your opinions, but should provide evidence and logical arguments to support your view.
Go beyond the obvious; make connections among the class topic, readings, and your experiences. Your post should not simply summarize the assigned reading. The best posts include new, complex ideas and perspectives.
Use standard academic English (i.e., complete sentences, capitalization, and conventional spellings). Please remember to read over your posts before your submit them to correct any errors.

DEADLINES: Reflections are due before class on the day the reading was assigned. For example, if a reading is listed for Monday, September 23, you should submit your reflection on that reading before class on September 23.
