Each student will prepare 4-6 written discussion questions based on the assigned readings for each class. Discussion questions will be evaluated based on appropriateness to the readings and application to current philosophies/theories.

In addition to the assigned readings, each student will perform outside research on a class topic/ era and lead the class discussion for that topic. You are to obtain at least one outside source of information and critique that reference. The critique should be typed, no more than two pages, double-spaced. The first part should be a summary of the main points in your own words, avoiding direct quotations. The second part should be your own interpretation, comments, and criticism on the meaning of the article. The final part of the critique will state how this literature relates to your professional interests/ research. Students will sign up in advance for a particular topic. The students assigned for that week will lead the class discussion on that topic.
