Reading presentations are due in class the week the material is covered. If possible, summaries of reading presentations should be posted to the class newsgroup. Any comments received to the posting should be addressed in the class presentation.
Students who are not presenting should submit at least three questions on the required readings to the class newsgroup. Questions or queiries on materials from prior weeks readings should also be posted to the group.
Reading presentations should be analytical rather than descriptive in nature. Presentions should summarize the main points and logic of the selected article and set out the relationship between the article and other readings required for the course. The logic, data, concepts or other important aspects of the reading should be critically assessed in the light of the presenter's knowledge of the subject matter. Key questions for class discussion should be posed.
