Fall 2004, Dr. Mullins
Everybody must sign up to present ANY ONE reading from this list. All students will read the article, and one student will present the material to the class. The presenter is expected to produce an outline of their presentation that will be handed in to me. Readings are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Any readings unclaimed after the second class will be assigned at random to those students who have not already signed up to present.
Please note that the line directly above the reading is the person who will be presenting that reading. If you intended to volunteer for a different reading, let me know as soon as possible.
If you do not sign up in class for a reading, you can contact me via email to specify which readings you would like to present. Please provide two or three readings in preferred order.
Contact me if you have any questions.
