Fall 2008, Dr. Mullins
Everybody must sign up to present ANY ONE reading from this list. All students will read the article, and one or tow students will present the material to the class. The presenter is expected to produce an outline of their presentation that will be shared with class members and handed in to me.
Since there are more students than readings, some individual readings have a presenter AND a discussant. In those cases, the student named as a discussant will be responsible for leading the class discussion. The first student will provide the summary. Both students still need to provide an outline of a full presentation with potential discussion questions.
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.
