Commentaries
You are required to write three separate commentaries on any three of the highlighted readings listed in this syllabus. You have the option to write a forth commentary (on one of the highlighted readings). If you choose to hand in 4 commentaries, the top three marks will go towards your final grade. Commentaries are to be one page long (300-350 words), double-spaced, 12 font with regular margins. Commentaries that have a title page or go beyond the one page limit will not be accepted. Commentaries are due the day the reading is assigned. Your commentaries should include the following:
-Begin with a brief summary (2 or 3 sentences) of the reading indicating the main argument.
-Provide a critical analysis of the author's position. Please note that to be critical does not always mean to be negative. It might be the case that you agree with the author's main arguments. In either case, you need to support your assessment by referring to the strengths and/or weaknesses of the author's arguments.
-Construct a question that links the reading to other issues not necessarily discussed by the author.
