Assignment #0

For each assigned reading, answer the following questions:

  1. What is the main point (thesis) of the paper?

  2. What is one weakness of the paper?

  3. What is one strength of the paper?

  4. What is one way that the paper relates to other papers we've read in class or other research/work that you are familiar with?

Answer each question with at most 2 sentences. Often a single sentence will suffice. The goal is to have short, crisp answers.

Submit your typewritten answers to these questions in hardcopy at the outset of each class (or before if you are unable to attend). The assignment will not be accepted late.
