Organization

Each week one or two papers will be assigned for reading. A student in the seminar will take the lead in first summarizing the papers and giving an initial critique. The lead student will then lead a discussion about the paper. Students should sign up for 2 credits maximum. The theme for winter quarter is Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). AAC is used by people who do not have the ability to speak for some reason. There will be occasional talks by researchers.
