This page contains supplemental readings and other course materials.
Each entry contains questions "To Guide Your Reading." There will normally not be any graded assignment associated with these questions: they are simply to help you take notes for our class discussion.
Note: There will occasionally be written participation assignments associated with the readings. These are listed in the syllabus and will also be noted here.
Written participation assignments are short informal assignments that are not intended to be difficult. The purpose of the short written participation assignments is 1. To prepare for class discussions. 2. To allow less vocal students to demonstrate their interaction with the course material.
Written participation assignments will not be accepted late.
Each written participation assignment is worth 2% of the course grade
