Discussion

We will have seven discussion sessions. Each discussion session is centered around one article.

Please read the article prior to discussion session and reply to the Ed thread answering a few questions about the reading. Please try to make your posts by midnight on the day before discussion. We encourage you to not only post your own responses, but to reply to your classmates’ responses as well. We’ll use these responses as a starting point for our discussion.

Discussion posts will follow a standard format of:

1. A short (2-3 sentence) summary of the paper
2. One point/example that the paper discussed that you agreed or disagreed with, and why,
3. One question you’d like to ask about the paper or discussion point you’d like to have with the class.

In the discussion session, we will first split the class to smaller groups and discuss among themselves. Then we will ask everyone to talk in-turn.

If you are unable to attend the discussion session in-person, inform the instructors ahead of time and we will provide you with an opportunity to submit written responses to discussion questions in place of the in-class participation.
