Provide a one-two page response to one of the course readings. The responses should state the theoretical viewpoints, while providing a response as to whether you agree, disagree or do not understand the concept in question. If you do not understand the concept, state why the concept is confusing or difficult to understand. Feel free to question any particular terminology, or application of the concept in the reading youve chosen to respond to. Because the purpose of the exercise is to offer your reactions to the readings, please be forthright and direct.
The papers are graded on the following elements:
Recognition of reading (5 points): State clearly what reading you are responding to
Clarity of argument (10 points): articulate what resonated with you in the reading or what you found confusing or any questions you may have about the reading
Citations (5 points): be sure to site any reading you use in your response paper
