As a HASS-CI (STS.042) and CI-M (8.225) Subject, there will be a heavy emphasis upon writing and oral communication. There will be three papers assigned for a total of 20-24 pages of writing over the course of the semester. The first paper (4-5pp) will be due in class on Thursday, 26 September. The second paper (6-7pp) will be due in class on Thursday, 24 October. Students will revise and resubmit their second papers, to give them an opportunity to work on specific writing skills before preparing the final paper; the paper 2 re-writes will be due in class on Tuesday, 19 November. The final paper (10-12pp) will be due in class on Tuesday, 10 December. Details of the paper assignments will be circulated in class. Students will also take turns making prepared oral presentations over the course of the semester. Presentations will involve a summary of assigned readings and presentation of study questions pertinent to that week's material. The student will then lead the ensuing class discussion, based on her or his opening presentation. NO LATE PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED. |
