Discussion Questions

To help you to prepare for and contribute to the discussion, you are to prepare and submit one or two discussion questions for each set of readings. These are due each Wednesday by 5:00. Please email your questions to me (rhoyle@duke.edu). Your grade for the discussion questions will begin at 100, with 10 points subtracted for each failure to hand the questions in on time.

The discussion questions are so named because they should promote discussion. Although there are no hard and fast rules for formulating questions, the most successful questions are integrative (i.e., they ask the respondent to relate ideas in different readings to one another). These questions are important to the success of the class; please spend some time on them.
