25% Annotated Readings 
Students will select and annotate three readings from the Web in addition to assigned readings.  These annotated readings will be added by the instructor to the course Web.  Each annotation should include a brief summary, a brief critique, and a brief justification for selection.          

Annotation Style

Let's keep the annotations fairly simple.  Submit by email as text or attachment.

Author.  Name of text or site.  URL.  Date published if given on the site.  

  • Summary of contents/plot/presentation.
  • Brief response/critique/opinion
  • Rationale for choosing/tie in with class or project
  • Date reviewed

25%  F2F and Online Participation  
Students will discuss and present readings and responses to other participants in F2F and online discussions.    

50%  Final Project
Students will product a final project equivalent to an 8 page paper with a cover memo detailing process.  I hope the subject matter of the course suggests my openness to your suggesting a final project that strays from the conventional; still, it must be grounded in such a way that I can evaluate it and your work.  Give me a pitch.  We'll discuss the details.  All final projects must be pre-approved.
