1. Reading Responses (20%) In each of the weeks 2 to 6, these 5 assignments will be 500-750 word responses to assigned Theodoulou & Cahn and Light readings. Students will briefly (no more than a third of their response) summarize the main argument and findings of the assigned reading. They will then assess the author’s argument. That is, discuss the following: What sort of evidence does the author use to advance their thesis? Is the argument convincing? How does this author’s argument relate to arguments made by other authors we have covered this semester? Students must submit their reading responses no later than Monday nights at 11:59 p.m. CST before class via the Discussion Board section in Blackboard.
