Course Outline

The outline of the course can be found here.

Reading Responses

In general, reading responses should be turned in by 8 PM on Monday prior to the associated readings being discussed in class. Submitted reading responses should be no more than 1000 words in total for discussion of all the week's readings. (NOT 1000 words per reading!) Reading responses should be a discussion of what you got out of the readings and what questions you still have. I will attempt to read everyone's responses before class so I have an idea how to direct in-class discussion. In particular, I will be looking for topics on which to give more background.

Suggestion on how to do responses: Read all the papers first, then take a break, then write a response. Don't write after each reading. You don't even need to take notes unless that is how you read papers.

The first reading response is due on Monday, September 17th, 8 PM. Note that this response should also discuss how useful and enjoyable the unsupervised in-class discussion of the readings went.

Responses should be submitted via Carleton's new cuLearn.
