1) Summaries (30%). Students will be assigned to summarize three readings for the whole semester. The summary must contain the main arguments of the readings – theory, hypotheses, findings, and conclusions. In writing the summary, students are also required to submit three (3) questions from or about the reading that can be used for class discussion. The summary will have a word count of 800-1000 words (not including the discussion questions). This summary will be submitted to the instructor 24 hours before class time.
2) Class participation (20%). As this class is a postgraduate level paper, students are expected to have read the materials/readings prior to each class. The seminar format of the class requires students to meaningfully participate in the discussion of the readings assigned for the class day.
3) Final exam (50%). This in-class final exam will cover all the readings we have covered in this seminar.
