Module Brief:
Each module comes with a wide variety of topics. It also comes with both required readings and suggested readings. The module brief has you summarize one of the additional readings with respect to the topics covered in the module. There are five modules in this course; I will count your four best briefs. Each brief is due on the first day of the module.
There are three parts to the briefs. The first part is a brief summary of the reading. This section should take approximately ½ – ¾ pages. The second part is a discussion of the reading in terms of the topics. Here, you will want to focus on how the reading illuminates the topic. This section should take approximately 1 – 2 pages. The third part is the reference list, on a separate page. Make sure you use appropriate headings throughout.
Module Guide:
Each module comes with both required readings and recommended readings. For two of the five modules, you will need to read both the required and the recommended readings. For the entire module, you (and the others who have chosen that module) will be the experts on the topics and the focal points of the class discussions. There is no written aspect of this assignment; I will grade it based on how well you are able to answer questions.
The leaders for the first module were chosen on the first day of classes. For the remainder of the modules, you need to email your request before January 24. Module leadership will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If you fail to send your request in time, I will choose for you and deduct 10% from the grade.
