The readings will include the paper of the presenter plus one or two other selected readings. Two days before the speaker's presentation students will submit a discussion paper comment/critique of the speaker's paper. These comments will be provided to the speaker in advance of his/her presentation. The comments so provided will also be the basis, along with classroom participation, for assessing the individual student's performance.
