Reading Groups
This is an optional assignment, but we would like to encourage people to form reading groups and spend time refining their understanding of the class readings outside of class time. To that end, we are willing assign some portion of your grade to this activity. But in order to receive that credit though you should
PhD--prepare for and attend reading group meetings, and record/report on discussions
MA--prepare for, attend, and contribute to group discussions
If you want credit, each member should be willing to prepare a short report at the end of the term on the successes and failures of your group. How would you do it differently next time? Who were the most helpful and productive group members? Why?
Please get your group together or send a representative to make an appointment with Bill or Dickie to negotiate this portion of your grade.
