write a response to an article provided
Each week you must read the selected literature by the time you come to class on Tuesday.
Eight times throughout the semester you will submit a reflective analysis paper wherein you
write about those pieces of literature. The purpose of these analyses is not to summarize the
readings, but instead to document the elements of the readings that you were surprised/puzzled/
inspired by. These papers will be due on Thursdays. A guide for writing these papers is below.
In 2 doubleâ€spaced pages (1.5 pages isn’t enough to earn full credit) you should:
ï‚·Very briefly summarize each article that you read (shoot for only 1â€2 sentences per article only give the main finding).
ï‚·Then focus on one or two of the following aspects from ONE of the articles.
Puzzled by something?
What confuses you? Why is the aspect weird? What would
you predict instead? Why? How would you study it?
Surprised by something?
Why? What did you expect? Why do you think the authors
found what they did? How should their methods be different? Why?
