Re: [253] Roy's office hours



Dear class,

In this assignment your opinion should be based on scholarly evidence (which
means written articles, etc.). We expect you to clearly summarize the
relevant *part* of the article you are using, to show us that you understood
it and how it relates to your topic.
This means that in order for you to use an article in a meaningful way you
need to show how it qualifies your argument and not just throw in a
reference or two.

Hope this helps.
