Quizzes

• Quizzes will be given at the beginning of class and you will have 10 minutes to answer the questions.
• All of the quizzes will be short (up to 5 questions), and easy... as long as you have done the reading.
• I expect to give eight quizzes over the quarter.

Reports

During the quarter, I will ask you to turn in three reports on the reading material. Reports are either a 1-2 page opinion essays on the reading material for the lectureor a 0.5 - 1 page summary, and the report due dates are marked on the lectures page.

• Analysis: If I ask you to turn in an analysis, I am asking for your own opinion about the text. You may decide to take one point that you either strongly agree with, or strongly disagree with, and discuss it. You may decide to give an opiniated overview of the whole text. It is your choice. However, I want you to be specific: no generalities, no unsupported opinions. Make sure to credit any ideas that is not yours. An analysis should be 1 to 2 pages long.
• Summary: If I ask you to turn in a summary, I am expected an unbiased account of what the paper says. Do not indicate whether you agree of disagree with what the authors say. Make sure to write in prose: bullet points for example are not OK. A summary should be 0.5 to 1 page long.
