DISCUSSION FORMAT:

There will be Five discussions on various topics. Four people will be chosen at random at the beginning of the discussion, and will serve as moderators for the discussion. 15% of your grade in this course comes from participation in discussions. If you miss a discussion, you will write a 2-5 page reaction to the next paper (see instructions below) and turn it in after the discussion. Also, before doing anything, make sure you read the guide to reading these articles...I think you will find it useful.
